    SFR Cats and salmon...

    Especially in coyote country which is pretty much everywhere except downtown these days. One sat just outside my fence this weekend and watched me mow half my yard before trotting off. Probably to go eat the neighbor's Bichon or cat that they let wander around... Agreed on the other posts. I...

    NFR Names for Upcoming Kiddo

    Thalweg - arguably the most important part of the river. Or if a B-name is key - Bergschrund.

    Too many humpies daddy!

    Effin awesome post. Those kids will remember that day for sure. I’m 58 and I remember freezing my ass off on a rainy day trolling for ‘hybrids’ (white/striped bass) in Lk Hartwell South Carolina at about that same age. Every time my dad and PawPaw would turn toward the launch I’d scream and...

    Rain

    Ha! Someone is watching this forum... Just hit my inbox. Stoked! Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife September 26, 2023 Quillayute system reopens to fishing beginning Oct. 1 Action: Reopens fishing in the Quillayute system under permanent rules. Effective date...

    Rain

    The Quilleute and tributaries have been closed to all fishing since mid-July. Sea-run fishing can be really fun this time of year in that system, especially lower down. Combo coho/sea-run floats are a favorite of mine. Hoping for enough rain to get to do that this year. Last year we were...

    Rain

    We’re on track for a normal Sept rainfall total on the WA north coast with a bit more coming this week. Still, with the record low flows as a baseline, I think we’re going to need a good bit more to get the Quill system open. Before this rain, the Sol Duc was literally shin deep (or less) all...

    College Football 2023

    Unless there is a drastic change from the last couple weeks, our former OC and DC now at Ole Miss are going to whip our asses this weekend. Lane and Pete are lickin' their chops I'm sure. Roll Tide (even when we stink)!

    The "How was your weekend?" thread...

    Similar experience here this weekend... After an unfortunate bat in the bedroom experience due to a warped screen, I was in the ER getting my first round of rabies vaccinations. Just got shot #4 today. Two more to go.

    College Football 2023

    Damn, one of those times you are sad your suspicions are confirmed... I'm not feeling the Tommy Rees / Jalen Milroe combo as a contender. With an unimaginative game plan, tons of penaties and a couple dumb interceptions, I'm surprised Texas didn't win bigger. I wish Bama would have put in one...

    What Are You Eating?

    Same here - reverse sear the thick stuff and they come out very evenly cooked w/o having to deal with a sous vide. Start in the oven on a roasting rack at a low temp and bring up to 110 (I like them rare). Then sear on a very hot grill. Hard to mess them up this way if you keep track of the...

    College Football 2023

    Posting about the Florida game made me realize that while the SEC is often hated on, the folks that hate SEC teams the MOST, are those that favor a team within the SEC... I'm well known as a Bama nutcase and I can't think of another SEC team I don't want to see lose, except maybe Vandy 'cause...

    Chad Brown makes Expedition Portal

    I don't know Chad but have appreciated his work form a distance. The profile on Expedition Portal was pretty cool. https://expeditionportal.com/the-healing-power-of-nature-video-of-the-week/ Is Chad on this site? If so, congrats!

    College Football 2023

    Semiholes are a different team hailing from Tallahassee. The Utes whipped the Gators from Gainesville who have the Netfilx show. I can't sit with either of 'em but have an especially deep disdain for the Gators and I'll be letting my Gator alumni cuzins down in Florda know what I thought of...

    Fillet Knife Recommendations?

    We have the same knife. Works great and cheap enough that I don't mind being aggressive with a sharpener. Another good one is the Victorinox Fibrox Cimiter (scimitar). I think it might be discontinued but still available on sale at Amazon.

    Rain

    Frickin sunny on the coast dammit. I may end up having to water stuff this weekend. I was really hoping skip the drive out this weekend to watch the nail-biting Bama game against Middle Tennessee State on the big TV.

    Dammit... I wish these guys would stop it with the rat posion. Everybody knows Bama is down, Saban is done and Georgia will never lose again. https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2023/08/gameday-crew-picks-sec-cfp-champs-we-are-going-to-get-demolished-on-the-internet.html I was loving all the...

    NFR Good news!!!

    I'm with DC on the production line commercial pop scene, including the country-tinged variant. However, while it's not my genre of choice, there is nothing wrong and a lot right with the more traditional country music of the US, be it the Scotts/Irish influence of the Appalachian hill country...
