Brook trout in their fall spawning splendor have long been a passion for many of us. Here in Pend Oreille County an attempt is being made to eliminate brookies which have compromised East Slope Cutthroat habitant. To that end they have announced a plan to poison them out of one creek that was...

What's the latest, anybody doing ground beef or venison jerky? I would like to hear what your experiences have been.

Teardrop trailers originated in the 30's, largely a result of the Great Depression as people needed something to stay in while they looked for work. They were most often home built out of any material that was on hand. They were cramped and uncomfortable in the 30's and despite a lot amenities...

Either that or an Element that was 20% bigger but exactly like the old one. Subaru has about the best AWD system available, it would probably cost over $80K to find something better. And their CVT is the best in the business. Sadly, it appears that prices are going up from $750 to over $2,000 on...

What ever happened to those formidable Dodgers that were supposed to run away with the World Series this year? They are just pathetic having played .400 ball for the past 2 weeks and have looked bad doing it. Their bullpen is like a colander and their starting pitchers can't get out of the first...

I have never dreamed of not getting a license! As an old man the cost of my license is less than the cost of a decent hamburger these days. For the price of filling my truck up with gas just once I could buy at least 10 annual Washington licenses! And I'm not so one dimensional that I am going...

My system is incredibly simple, foolproof and inexpensive. I have been using the same Airhead 12v pump for about 20 years that I probably paid less than $15 for, new ones about $25, and powering it with a 5ah AGM 12v battery that weighs 3# 2 oz. Batteries widely available for <$15. The pump...

What is the latest thinking on intermediate lines? I have been using Cortland Clear Camo for decades now and am very happy with it and caught a shit load of fish on it yesterday so I'm not changing. But a lady friend that is visiting this week was impressed with my catch rate on the line and...

AHHH-at last! Some food I recognize....

True dat! Bigger than stock tires lower the final drive ratio resulting in potentially higher top speed but reducing torque, slowing acceleration, reducing towing capacity and causing the engine to work harder when climbing hills. Theoretically bigger tires can give better fuel economy and if...

I hope they can keep that up into October, I would love to see a Mariner/Dodgers World Series. All west coast baby!

I bought the P-metric AT3-W tires for my half ton 4wd truck. When I initially ordered the truck I had LT's put on it but thought they were overkill for my use. I live up a gravel road and long driveway so I am on dirt every time I drive the truck. I don't do any serious off roading but a lot of...

That is what a utility vehicle should be shaped like! Squared off to take maximum advantage of the footprint. These so called SUV's with the sloping back and tapered roof make absolutely no sense to me, just a concession to folks that are more obsessed with style than function. There is a good...

6 mph usually means less than 15 over here...

Sous vide ribs! I have been experimenting with them recently by buying 2 racks, cutting them in half and then trying different rubs, time and temps to get repeatable results. I am not interested in Gore May ribs that are bragworthy, just something an old man living alone in the forest can make...

His old man made quite a career of being a buffoon, perhaps that hurt his chances. If he makes it now it will have to be on his own merit-not because his dad is a pathological blowhard.

What are the talking head gas bags going to talk about now that this costume party is over? For months anyone with a belly button and a rectum has been making mock draft lists and spending hours explaining why their list is better than the next guy's. In the end it's always much ado about...

I would chemically clean it but be very wary of trying to rough up the surface with abrasive. Should you go through the epoxy into the thread you will have tiny filaments sticking out that will present another whole set of problems. Sounds like a simple fix, just go real light on the coating, it...

It looks to me like she was digging for gophers!
