Today is pizza day here at the ranch. Today's entree is Italian sausage with some Eggers pepperoni added. Cheese is a mix of mozz and Fontina, the dough is aged for a couple of days and it will be baked at 525 in a cast iron skillet. It feels more like a zinfandel day than an ale day and I can...

I have tried it early in the Gorge and froze my ass off and didn't catch anything. There is a reason they wind surf there.

Congratulations on having an open mind and not being a sophomoric twit! Back when I was a kid guys were saying: "I won't eat any meat but woolly mammoth and the only poultry I'll cook with is dodo bird!" Due to the exigences of the situation those guys are eating beef and turkey now. There's a...

Air fryer-the best way to reheat pizza!

Tightrope walking without a net!

Is fly fishing dying like NASCAR and the NBA?

......on the other hand I have reduced the number of flies I carry around by about 80%. The other half of that equation should probably be an 80% reduction in tying materials I suppose. Plus, after decades of tying flies I am just bored with it and would rather spend $200 on pre-built flies than...

Thanks Josh. With that 34% discount the price should be about $462, a damned good deal and less than I paid 2 weeks ago. At the time Bluetti was selling it for $459 and Amazon for $479. I bought from Amazon because of the free shipping and ease of return in case something goes wrong. Amazon...

Love at first sight! The new Bluetti AC180 arrived today and I'm impressed. The packaging was just superb, a great way to make a good first impression. The unit itself is sleek and well designed and more intuitive to use than the Jackery 1000V2 I bought last fall. Just the buttons are an...

I ordered this stuff on January 22 and received it on January 29, not bad considering the time year and UPS refusal to come up my road in the snow. It was exactly as ordered so today I wanted to order more but found that it had gone up by about $3.00 since I last ordered. Looking around for a...

Up here in "upper,upper,eastern,eastern" (aka almost Canada, almost Idaho) nothing opens before the 4th Saturday in April anyway so March 1 is a moot point. The question is will things be open for the April startup? I think they will but some years it is close and opening day water temps are so...

Agreed but not everyone is hip to Wagos

A little insight into your surfing habits! Just not enough to do till fishing season opens, eh?

I have been binge watching Flo Lum on YouTube-Chinese home cooking that I can relate to. She is calm, gentle and skilled and doesn't embarrass me for not having all of the right ingredients. She has upped my wok skills and I am cooking stuff that I am actually proud of.

About 20'' here on the Frozen Tundra and below zero for 2 more nights then single digit nights with nothing above freezing until around the 17th. Low recorded so far is -4 but expected to be even colder tonight. The good news is it has been clear enough to see the planets at night but too damned...

There and apparently are a lot of guys tying flies that never had any hygiene training and apparently think that taking care of their nails is sissy. They have fingers, nails and cuticles that you would expect to find on a Neanderthal but seem out of place on a 21st century human. It is hard to...

That whole presentation was about 5 hours of over hyped dud from start to finish. But I liked the outcome, especially the part where "3-peat" died a death of a thousand cuts. Now all of the talking heads that predicted a sure win for the Chiefs are doing damage control to their image. In a few...

No mention of Bluetti would be complete without including the relatively new Bluetti Charger 1 DC to DC charger. It too is on sale now for 50% off and includes the cable. It is a simple hookup, one end to the battery and the other to a power station. The standard 12v outlet in your vehicle will...

Zak, one of the problems with posting gear reviews is the rapidly changing landscape. Everything is evolving so rapidly that a review written 3 years ago might be laughable by now. Three years ago Jackery was flying high and was the leading seller of power stations. My own experience with them...

Those of you looking for a power station might want to take a look at this deal on Amazon right now. The widely acclaimed AC 180 is being sold at 47% off for $479. I won't bore you with the specifications, you can look them up, but that is a helluva buy for an 1800W powerplant. Too good to pass...
