    Rod tip issue

    I was cleaning a couple of rods when I noticed something. The eyelet on my rod tip has several deep grooves in it. This rod is the one that I use most often with a full sink line, casting and stripping. Before too long, I believe the groove will be cut all the way through the eyelet. No Bueno! I...

    How did you end up in your career?

    In high school I wanted to be an art teacher. But by my senior year that had faded and I quit before graduation. I went to work, roofing. At 125 soaking wet, I was the grunt. When snow started to fall, I quit and moved to Log Island. I got an apprenticeship in a family machine shop doing sheet...

    Pepper potpourri

    I got a bunch of peppers from a good friend of mine couple of days ago. The long, thin green ones have already turned red. I don’t cook that much with peppers just a little. But I want to preserve as many of these as I can. What’s the best way? I’m going to pickle some of the jalapeños. I’ve...

    Wok woes

    I finally used my wok and Camp Chef for my first stir fry. I seasoned it whet I got it according to the instructions. It cooks like a dream but cleanup was problematic. The seasoning is flaking off as shown in the photos. I need advice on how to fix this, please! The stir fry was delicious…

    Lake craft recommendation

    Despite @iveofione having a rather unfavorable opinion, I like my Watermaster. Sure it’s not the fastest thing on the water, but it is stable, it is comfortable and I’ve grown accustomed to it. There is that, and I’ve caught a hell of a lot of fish in it.

    SFR I hope this is the end of it!

    I was just up at the ranch above Oroville for a few days. Temps during the day were high 80s and 90s. Thankfully, the evenings got really cool, one morning I woke up and it was 59 in the house. I had the bedroom windows open all night.
