Gotta be an improvement....after being owned by three successive VC entities intent on extracting whatever value Hobie retained it was looking like a death spiral....

You mean 'SARCOPENIA'....😄

To each their own but that much 'fellowship' sounds absolutely exhausting.

As for dumbells, are you referring to coworkers?

As for contributing to the continued 'survivability' of flyfishing I've three adult flyfishing grandchildren who I continue to mentor and support, and (prior to retirement at 70), was professionally engaged for 45 years exclusively focused on water quality science and regulation.

Coulda been me...what's yer dog look like? 😁

I think participation in associations/clubs are a natural fit for those folks who have gregarious personalities and have sufficient discretionary time. While I have the requisite time I have absolutely no inclination to do so, being quite happy to recreate alone, or in the company of a very few...

Now in my 70's I have finally switched to kayak scupper wheels to haul kayaks around and now only fish with Hobie Mirage pedal drive. Since the vast majority of my fishing has always been lakes I've not had to modify my flyfishing much at all...and have easily maintained my shitty flyfishing...

Although I've over 200,000 miles on motorcycles my first love will always be bicycles...even more so than flyfishing.

I am fine never having had that delightful experience. 😊

Good on you for getting him an appropriate helmet...protecting the old noggin is (of course!) the most important thing....and good on the pros who've made wearing them 'cool'!

That flytying station will work great with some sort of desk/bench! Start looking for an old roll top it will fit inside...hides the inevitable flytying mess very effectively!

It's a great lifetime activity at any level...and modern safety gear mitigates the risk tremendously. My grandparents (who both rode motorcycles in the 1913 era) had an only child (my mother) and they were so protective she was never allowed indulging in any sort of risk...riding a bicycle was...

We're probably looking at a future downhill champion or Sam Pilgrim freestyle influencer!

Just ordered a Litespeed Pinhoti 3 hardtail. Never had a titanium bike before, but I've lusted for a Litespeed for decades.

Licenses and passes are a mere pittance compared to what I spend on outdoor gear and the costs associated with getting afield. I work hard at keeping my geriatric price whining in check.

I like my REI Cap one card. Gives an additional 5% dividend to the 10% REI dividend for REI purchases. As for airline miles I have absolutely no need to acquire...never flying again after my recent extremely unpleasant experiences. As for card interest...what's that? I pay off the balances...
