    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    I was previously in the homebrew business for about 13 years. It was around 2016-2017 that business peaked. We started seeing stagnation and some slight drop in revenue after that. 2020 saw a large boost that brought false hope, followed by 10-20% drops in revenue every year after. My regular...

    Narrows Park Fishing

    Its gotta be food source or maybe even water conditions related? The fish themselves are still out there somewhere. I can't remember if I posted this email before. I sent an email to WDFW in 2024 and got put in touch with the Hatchery Operations Manager in South Sound.

    Narrows Park Fishing

    Yeah it's been a number of years since I've fished it, the rezzies up and disappeared. Used to be schools roaming up and down the beach in those rips. Like SF, I haven't seen jumpers there on beach walks in a few years. Looks like the last time I fished it was back in 2021:

    Any use the Garmin InReach?

    I have the original in reach mini. I pause service during the winter months and keep it active spring/summer/fall. Use it to text my wife in the evening but I also turn on tracking when I'm driving/hiking up and down river so she can see my location so she knows where the bear got me 🫡. Makes...

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    I'm really regretting not buying a couple sticks of RAM before the prices went to the moon, even though I was only casually considering upgrading my gaming PC. There was quite a bit of chatter about it beforehand and I didn't take it seriously enough I guess 😂.

    PSA: Low Light Prescription Polarized Sunglasses

    I stopped wearing contacts due to dry eyes so I had to switch to prescription sunglasses. I got a decent pair of polarized green mirror sunglasses from SportRX a couple years back, but have been coveting a pair of low light sunglasses again. Costa has had Sunrise Silver Mirror option from a...

    Electronic licenses in Washington next year

    Idaho and Montana have had e-licenses for a while too and it works super well in my experience. Better late than never I guess!

    Rogue closing up in Newport

    I'd say more like the mid 90s honestly in my experience. But that may be splitting hairs at this point. I worked at a homebrew supply store for a little over a decade, owned it for 5 years before selling. The change in that time period was staggering. There's really only so much you can do...

    What credit card do people like

    Some unfortunate reporting in that article. "Under the proposed settlement, Visa and Mastercard would lower credit card interchange fees — which are paid by merchants and are typically between 2 and 2.5 percent — to an average of around 0.1 percentage point over several years" Seemed pretty...

    Puget Sound

    Took the boat out on a solo mission today. More wind than was forecasted but overall not too bad. Pretty good action most of the day. Ran into a few rezzies as well, only about 10" at the moment.

    Short Lightweight Rain Jackets

    I just bought one of these. Definitely standard length rain jacket. I love the Patagonia outerwear stuff but the sleeves always seem to be a touch longer than I'd like for my body shape, guess I need to lose some weight so I can drop down a size 😂 . I was actually surprised it's not as heavy as...

    Baseball 2025

    What's wild is that the face value prices have been in a lot of cases higher than the resale market. We got 300 level for Thursday for around $280 yesterday, which had face value of over $350. During ALDS, resale tickets dropped to around $150 for 300 level hours before the game, which were face...
