For a long time my perfect day was 18 holes of golf, fishing for a few hours, and cocktails with friends. I still golf frequently (trying to reach single digits), maybe have a cocktail or two, and enjoy making something interesting for dinner. Fishing has waned but I need to work on getting out...

Truffle hunter! My boy just likes to “mark” the location (so we can dig later ;-).

I camped near Arches in Utah early Spring in 1975. Up early scouting around I found a very light green scorpion, skooched it on to a flat rock to show my pals. Fortunately it was cold out so it wasn’t very active. Later, attending a nature talk at the info center, the ranger was asked about...

Yes. Know a family in Kirkland that lived next to a Catholic school. Youngest daughter had a Border Collie, and every recess he was herding the flock.

Isn’t it interesting that each dog is an individual. Cats can be too and I’ve had a couple that stand out. But your relationship with Mr Dog develops and ripens over time. My guy tries to be with me 24/7 now as an example. Not feasible but our bond grows every day/week/month, and I dread the...

Oink oink.

Two visits a day apart is very concerning. As mentioned, talk to your neighbors and to the police, and let them know you’re in a wheelchair. DimeBrite mentioned strengthening up your door frames. I’d add to ask a friend to replace the deadbolt receiver screws (probably around 1.5”) with long...

I’ll just add that Kerry was very close friends with Tom Morgan, and rolled at least some of Tom’s blanks, including fiberglass. I broke the tip on a 2 piece 7wt fiberglass (Unity rod), after Tom passed. Eventually I reached out to Kerry for advice. He asked for the rod, which I shipped, and he...

I’m fairly confident that as a 6 piece (w/5 ferrules) it becomes a faster 3wt, however putting the 4wt line on it brings it to an optimum flex, especially for delicate small stream or even alpine lake fishing.

I’m way late to this thread, and haven’t read it all, but will add to the Redington CT idea. Many years back I bought a 6 piece 8’0” 3wt CT (on sale for about $120) based on several reviews here. Several guys liked it and WTH, on sale why not. Anyway, one day I took it out to the park just to...

Or another way: Mother of seven kids all named Frank. “How do you call just one over?” “Well, then I call him by his last name.”

We know the tooth brush was invented in Alabama. Had it been invented anywhere else it would be a teeth brush.

I don’t run, but I walk my dog, often with a favorite hickory walking stick. I consider it a calming influence. “There's nothing like a nice piece of hickory.” (Preacher)

Butt a favorite of every other superhero.

I could modify the back side of said tuna can to fit your rod mount. ($99.95 ;-)

Getting back to an old tuna can.

I have way more vests, slings, chest packs etc than I should, but I still ogle offerings sometimes in the shops. I reject many though because I feel like a commando, as in the pic above. I guess I consider it a gentle sport, thus I try for simple. But dammit, I do like carrying some stuff.

A friend visiting his proctologist brought an ink stick and had his wife write the tramp stamp “Turn on lights before entering tunnel”. Brought a huge laugh and the doc commended her penmanship in the waiting room later.

I fished in the Suquamish fishing derby. Never won a thing. Musta been weights involved. That derby was canceled around 1966. I’m still pissed and won’t enter another. They’re all crooked as Lance Armstrong.

I’d expect you as a remote whisky influencer/stylist (with a deep cleeuntel ;-).
