Sounds like maybe they’re targeting the streamer guys. Kinda funny since that genre historically were from the bubba end of the spectrum. But times change. Unless I’m on the Sound I’ll stick with my 686 for that (@ 1/3 the price).

I used to make bread by hand (+-1980) but stopped. For 20 years or so I’ve been using a bread machine and have a couple favorites, mainly honey wheat. I love the simplicity. I recently bought some starter (& setup) and tried some sourdough recipes. I’ve learned that bread machines don’t do...

I was just a casual fan through the 60s and 70s. But then while working in North SF Bay a buddy (Deadhead) had scored tickets for all 3 or 4 nights of their last appearance at Winterland. I was invited one night, and I’ll never forget it. Among probably the most dedicated of the dedicated, I was...

Probably obvious to many, but I’d suggest instead, watching here and there for a used but well cared for standout rod from 3 years or so ago, let’s say for $350, and put $1,400 into solid stocks or a Vanguard fund. You still get a fantastic rod, and contribute to the nest egg. Fact is I do like...

Well, taken care of it will give you more pleasure for a much longer time than a similar worth of drugs. I would imagine it throws a good line well. On the fence? Go for it.

Just imagine the (long arm) pics with it in your teeth, or balanced on your shoulders. Yep, we’re dating super models now. The initial price will be cheap by comparison.

Or Uncle Jimmy S

Somewhat related, I was playing golf at a local club here in Seattle, having taken the afternoon off, and met an older guy (John) on the first tee. Walking up the fairway he said “Just so you know, they have a defibrillator in the pro shop”. Good to know (I’m thinking). A hole or two later we’re...

Total sidebar, and I’m sure some can echo: To my girls: Pay extra attention to the bad guy. If you want to hate him, he did his job well. None of these guys are evil in real life. Most are the nicest guys you’d ever meet. Example Danny Trajo: Machete, but gentle as a lamb in real life. Related...

Obviously it has become a (cult?) XMas classic. I did read somewhere that the initial story was rejected (by the money I presume) so the re-write was centered on the Christmas season. The debate continues, but it’s trivial at best. I will say this, and I’m sure nearly everyone here will agree...

McClane’s wife is Holly. Set on Xmas Eve. Xmas music. Bad guy wears a Santa hat, and his tee shirt sez hohoho. Perfect movie for baking cookies. Poor Rickman will die several times this season, again.

You know from whence!

In the last few years I’ve come to think that imagination is our best asset. Even if it’s not with great intentions, as in our yout. Play those movies in your head all you want.

Ah, well we know, for kids entertainment a pile of dirt beats a truck, or anything short of a BB gun.

When my parents (now deceased) were downsizing Mom gave me a folder of mostly school related stuff. Perusing it, one drawing shocked me. It was a drawing I made of a house, property lines, walks/paths and landscaping, from the sixth grade I think. After bumping through school and various...

A similar story: Oly and Lena, making out in the front seat. Getting passionate Lena cries “Kiss me where it stinks!” Oly drives to Tacoma. (Prior to Asarco closing.)

An oldie resurrected probably from a past site. Poingient to me particularly because I rode on the back of a friends Vespa a LOT around Poulsbo/Suquamish/Silverdale 1968-71. I still want one sometimes.

I may be wrong, but I'm not far from it. I used to back up to places and get there before I left.

"go to work at twelve, get off at one, an hour off for lunch and my days works done…”

Bill, after sleeping on it I have reconsidered and have decided to pass. Great looking pack but I’ll continue on with equipment I have. Sorry for any inconvenience. David
