    What are you watching?

    Skip, PBS has two great episodes on Nova of the rebuild of the Nortre-Dame Cathedral. A real deep dive on the original build nearly 9 centuries ago and rebuild after the fire in 2019. Interesting as hell considering all of the history this building has seen. Think you would like it. The shows...

    What are you listening to?

    Joe Ely, who passed away recently. Austin Tx DNA through and through. Combination of Marty Robbins with some Buddy Holly thrown in for flavor. Some cool shit to listen to when relaxing or planning an excursion.

    Good on you Nick. Glad things worked out. Congrats on the new wheelhouse. That’s nervous energy and anticipation you’re encountering due to a big decision and the change it involved. No big thing, just dealing with people, running the vessel, and embracing the ocean like always. Would love to...

    Fly Fishing Elitism?

    Great question! I read the book before, and again after the movie. I’ve always thought that a good, and great author, can draw your emotion deeper into a story than any visual can. They have the ability to paint a picture deeper into your mind as if you are a part of the story if, and that’s a...

    Perception is everything in today’s world. Perfect Joan Wulff arm, wrist, grip along with appropriate gear as far as I can determine. That parts good. Elitist?

    Fly Fishing Elitism?

    “Golfing” is not elitist. However, meeting at the club to dine before playing an afternoon round to assure your handicap is still in single digits while having your clubs cleaned by one of the clubhouse boys might be. Just sayin….. But I do agree more people should take up the pastime. Oh...

    Smooth fly line to backing connection

    Using a blind splice on the backing with a backing loop at least 12” - 15” I run the backing through the fly line loop three times over the fly line back through the loop without drawing it tight. I then use a dental pick to help feed the backing down the sides of the fly line loop before making...

    Part-Time, Volunteer, or other opportunities?

    Being in the Portland area you would have multiple opportunities to mentor high school students at the first year level due to all of the mental, emotional, and physical changes the students will encounter. Conversely, graduating students heading out into today’s world could use access to all of...

    What are you watching?

    After watching Geoffrey Ward & Ken Burns’ The American Revolution last week, which was excellent BTW, I decided to upgrade my PBS account and bite the bullet $$ wise, just because. There is so much excellent content available from the archives that I figured I couldn’t go wrong with anything by...

    If you don't try...

    Much respect for what you’ve done, especially stepping up for your community, present and past. As more generations migrate from birth areas in pursuit of jobs, better living conditions, parental (health)care, military involvement etc, the past tends to recede into the dark recesses of the...
