    Since this is about trees, I'll add a free that us growing all over Montana. The Russian Olive. They are a bitch to mow around as they have long thorn's. There was a small grove of them where we were living in Silver Star. Lived there almost a year. The fruit is small and I never saw any birds...

    NFL 2022 Season

    I read someplace this last week that if the Buc's win it will be the worst team to win. It was on the NFL channel. Don't have that one. So all I get is the box score.

    NFR College Football 2022

    You must also know it doesn't matter to me also. These are just words between us men. Hell I watched just the first quarter and then watched something else. Sports don't hold me like they did when I was young. I just pound on my computer and the TV is on because I don't like sitting in a quiet...

    Sorry for your loss. But you told me that they would win by double figures. They only lost by 3. But the win by the Husky's means that they are back from the bottom of the pile. Never doubt the wiles of an Old Man. Plus they did it on the road.. It looks like the Dawg's wining a few on the road...

    Salute to my fellow Veterans

    Some times I feel funny saying thank you to a post like this. 3 years Army. 1953 to 1956. I somehow never made it to where bullets were flying around. I must of been born under a lucky star. But thank you all for a post like this one.

    NFR Bird Watching for Beginners?

    If your in Everett, try that water front park by the by the sewer plant under I-5 there are some nice paved walkways there. Lots of birds away from most people. The name slipped my memory. I looked up the name, it is called Langus Riverfront Park. They have picnic tables and a fishing pier also.

    Where did it start?

    Was about 12 when I started fishing with a hand line. Live in West Park, which isn't even there any more. There was a little creek across the highway from where we lived. I had a tippet spool with a hook and some split shot. Would load up that hook with a worm and get to it and fish that little...

    Steilacoom South Sound get-together Nov. 15, with a few photos. Thanks Y’all!

    Montana has speed limits also but you wouldn't know it the way people here drive. Everybody's in a hurry. I have no idea why. I think I got one ticket for speeding or maybe it was for parking wrong. It's been so long ago I disremember what it was for. Someplace in Seattle I think. I always try...

    Setting up a Euro rod

    My first ever fly rod had a down locking reel seat. I really liked that for a set up. But that was in 1957. That fly rod is in a land fill someplace in Washington state. That was before I ever heard of warranties. It was a 2 piece rod that broke above the middle. I just shit canned it and bought...

    I know I'm not coming. But I just looked this place and it looks like a nightmare just getting to it from the Freeway.

    Rainbow Trout Mating Seasons

    I caught a planted brood stock fish out of one of the lakes in the 7 lakes area. It had a tail that was worn down from living in a cement pond. It was bigger than what I normally caught so I towed it to shore. No net. When I took it out of the water it was spitting eggs out of it's ass.This was...

    NFL 2022 Season

    I'm from Wisconsin and for 9 years or more that Green Bay was my team. Didn't have a pro team for a long time in Washington so Green Bay was at the top of my list. I've always picked the Husky's since I was in High school and the school band got picked to perform at half time on an opening day...

    That loss to Georgia in the first game of the season will put a hold on that. And when they lose this weekend, that will just piss them off and will kick Utah's ass the following weekend. One can only hope.

    Here in Butte we have a wide porch railing. It's about 6" wide. My wife put bird seed out for them. We have birds all winter long. We have a shit pot of Sparrows, Two Doves and sometime a damn Crow.. Yesterday she spotted a Woodpecker in the tree. We put out sugar water but never see any Humming...

    The builders of that bridge thought that the weight of the Cement would stop the swaying of the bridge. Boy were they ever wrong. Yeah the dog went down with the car.
