I almost edited that right after posting. but I figured someone would call out my mistake, thx!

Wow, Micah Parsons was traded to Green Bay? How come this wasn't blasted and run into the ground on sports talk radio and TV for the last 2 weeks?

Categorization can be tough. For instance Should Bronze Mallard go in the box labelled 'spey fly materials', or one titled 'Feathers: Mallard, partridge, pheasant'. Thinking it through, the problem is mixing classes of categories: type of material vs. type of fly material is used for. But my...

At the risk of sounding like sour grapes. The M's slump isn't just about them not playing well. They seem to be hitting sub .500 teams when they're bio-rythm is peaking. To wit; the Rays came off of a sweep and are just hitting the sh*t out of M's pitching.. water balloon base hits in the gaps...

With that much stuff, the numbers actually make sense to me. Can't imagine scanning through labels on what, 100 boxes when I need to find something. The index is probably a spreadsheet or db that's cross-referenced, index to contents and contents to index. I don't think my blue painters tape...

So did I. 4 runs in the first for the M's then bumpkus for the next 8. Cleveland was relentless and Munoz was not particularly sharp tonight.

The orthopedist I saw looked at my hand, took an x-ray and said, "we treat that with surgery" while showing me a few pictures that he looked up on Google. I figured what he really meant to say was "I'm going to make the balloon payment on my 7 series BMW with this"

While waiting for the last few weeks to hear back from the orthopedist with a cortisone shot appointment, I decided to try some self-care things that my GP recommended. Splinting at night, passive stretching exercises and graston technique (using a serving spoon from my kitchen) have resulted in...

I was particularly impressed that they fixed it for me even though I bought the rod used. I love the X taper and would buy a few more of them, but I'm afraid I'll sort of get 'kicked off the island' for support within my and the rods lifetime. I hope you get a good or at least reasonable...

If you're talking about the mini splits I agree. I installed my own on an outbuilding on my property. You need to know how to safely add a dedicated circuit for it or hire an electrician. Beyond that it's just a bit of layout and the confidence to drill a 3.5in hole through an exterior wall. The...

WRT steelheading; I fished the NU today with my 7130;short-belly and ~14' of mono leader. I was quite content not having another rig with me. Winter is where I might start thinking about having a full float/mono setup and something with a 15' of S3. I suspect that I'm moving towards having just...

We hit 100 today in North Roseburg; probably done that about a half dozen times this summer. Seems like we have a week of 80's to low 90's followed by a week of 90's to near triple digits. Pretty muggy today so ti will probably stay warm tonight.

I find myself doing both depending on how I feel and how I want to fish on any given trip. There are pros and cons for each. 2 rods allow you to have 2 different setups at the ready. But you have to leave one at the top of a run while you fish through with the other, then backtrack to the...

I'm considering a transom saver type device for my 16'9 RH Boats hull and 60hp Merc. Did some some searches on the net; folks are all over the place on the topic. Found this article helpful and balanced. I think I'm going with a wedge like this

Rangers losing to the Jays, Orioles smokin' the Astros and it's Munoz time with a 2 run lead.... go M's

I bought a used X 7130 ten years ago; broke the tip on it last month. I was honest with them and said I wasn't the original owner. they let me register it and file for a repair anyway. The whole process, which included me taking about a week to get it shipped took a little over 5wks weeks and...

Josh Naylor is a bada$$. Watched him twice now square up and drive a pitch that was chin height and off the plate outside. First time was a rope to left field that scored Julio and yesterday he sent one out of bounds on the left side that had the distance for homer.

I like your glass half-full take on it. Even better that the Astros were destroyed by Boston yesterday. That said, it was pretty hard to watch the M's lineup get owned by Kremer(sp?). So many pop ups. They just couldn't get on top of his pitches. To make things worse, I didn't start watching...

Fly fishing and playing cymbals in the orchestra are two things that should not be done nekked for health reasons if not for good taste.

Love watching Kershaw pitch. In this era of flamethrowers it's great to see a crafty technician drop Uncle Charlie from the stratosphere at 72mph and watch the hitter freeze like a goat staring at a new fence.
