Good price for 30 seconds of work. “I done my job, she done hers.” (Dad ;-)

Double the price! Imagine the value of THE last true Shelby! Yeah, there are other nice Mustangs…

I got Rose from Gary 5 years back for my daughter. Incredible sweet dog and she’s much loved by all. Pity I don’t hunt because she’s a born natural and birdie as h***, with intense focus. If I could take another dog, I would. Anyone that doesn’t like Goldens has a screw loose.

An eerier B17 story: I grew up in Suquamish, fishing, boating, skiing and diving around Agate Passage. My parents were both Marines, dad a lifer, and have now passed away many years back. They both requested their ashes be scattered in Agate Passage. We kept their urns here at the house for...

Well probably the simplest photoshop, but I like it.

Well, I’ve enjoyed some severe storm conditions, and actually enjoyed the challenge, but that was flat out crazy water. Not sure why any sane person would take it on.

I have seen some rough water, that I won’t brag about. But, the most difficult was surveying the South end of San Francisco Bay in a 30+ knot breeze from the north. Shallow water, the waves stack up. I’m sure they were 15’+ waves with maybe a 30’ period. It were brutal, and eventually we gave...

Impressive sailing gentlemen. I raced once here on PS (Seattle, around Vashon and back) 40+ years back (family friends Mercator 35 iirc) and it was pretty exciting. I have a Santana 2023 that hasn’t been wet in many years. I never got used to that much heel.

Head only, or integrated?

I haven’t tried either of these tequila enhancements, but you have my blessing. I’ve heard that tequila and tea are a good mix. The other rec was to take an empty half gallon milk bottle, open the top all the way, set a fifth of tequila inside, fill it with water and freeze it. Now this really...

Well, I’ve had experiences with most mentioned so far. My proudest moment though involved Sloe Gin. At a North Kitsap party I sweet talked a (year older) cheerleader and offered her a ride (in my 58 Volkswagen, yeah, I was a stud!). She accepted and I was certain this was the night. Somewhere...

C22, no doubt the extra 6” helps on a steep beach, but I’ve often felt the 691XP might just be the ticket. Maybe just a tad crisper, which could tip the scales for me. But, I’ll fish the stable I have. I snagged a 6wt Meridian on close out and we get along fine.

There is some kind of alchemy for me with the RPL. I rarely fish my 896-4 anymore but it never, ever fails to bring a smile. Magic happens. I had a 6wt RPL+ for a while and sold it quick. IMO the + is lousy as if they couldn’t not fuck with the RPL rod that made Sage an industry leader. That’s...

No, I have 1 XP 697. I’m more a fan of the RPL than the XP, in truth, but not sure it was ever produced in a SW safe configuration. The XP however is a terrific rod, and I love having it in the quiver. Today though, my hobbies are in flux, and I’d be willing to thin the herd. But, I’m in no...

Great to hear. I have one as a reserve, but fish another when I do get out. But at 1K, I’d let it go. How many backups is enough?

Welcome. You’ll have a lot of fun with that 4wt trout Spey, rivers mostly but lake shores too, probably with a Scandi line. Don’t wade deep with balance issues. You might want to get a wading staff from Herkleez here. Best you’ll find. G’luck!!!

At 3 or 4 I made it to the school bus stop hoping to catch my brother coming home. Mom chased me all the way home with a thin stick, 1/4 mile. That lesson was learned just once.
