quite the series with the M's and the A's right now; some great baseball going on. Pretty strong statement if the M's can win the series with Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Ryan Bliss, Victor Robles, and Luke Raley all out with injuries.

I've had to do penance for all the foul language I used last year whenever 'crazy eyes' Jorge Palanco came up to the plate. This guy is absolutely owning the dish right now. Anything can happen, but this is a different team than last year. Their hitting approach is so much better; preferring...

Called Nautilus, it's $45 plus shipping one way to have the reel rebuilt. Gonna go with that option on this rig. Takes 10-15 business days for them to process and I can live w/o this reel that long. I do have a 'dirt bag level wind' that 'a friend' of mine uses for pulling plugs with the same...

I've filled out their web form twice now, last week and again just now. Will call them if I don't get an email.

Seems like running a rubbing alcohol soaked que-tip to remove the built up residue would be pretty innocuous and probably fix the problem right?

Reel is a Nautilus X-frame that I bought new about 4 years ago. Issue is that the drag doesn't work at all while the reel is full. After stripping about 50ft of line it kicks in and works (albeit kind of herky-jerky) until the next time. I soak the reel in dish-soap about once a year, but...

I'm fishing the 15' tapered tips that come with the line system, they're really part of the lines taper. I gravitate towards these systems for anything other than full float heads. Super happy with the EMT. I probably will go back to a less aggressive tapered Scandi or short belly spey line for...

I've never used anything but T-material behind a skagit head. How is the energy transfer, does the tip roll out nicely? One of the issues I had with my Gaelforce EMT was hinging at the head to tip connection -- I found that backing off the power a git solved it. I was using 90ft of energy for a...

If I had a whale harpoon gun and a really strong winch I could make some decent money salvaging and selling the timber floating by my place. There's something awesome and ominous about a 30' Doug Fir log floating by at what must be 30mph, dead silent with branches sticking straight up.

not really a shop, more of a fly tying and other vices man-cave so the noise is a bit of an issue. But I'll look into the Emerson unit, might be a simpler less expensive alternative. Thanks

I saw stone flies and mayflies hatching last weekend on the river between my place and the dam. The trout I caught had fat bellies, looked and felt like they'd eaten a whole bag of gummies. Ya, they will be hugging rocks for a while.

I have a 10x20 shed. It's about 12' tall and has a barn style roof with lofts on either end. I'm insulating and sheet rocking it. Seriously considering installing a mini-split. I'm doing research and just wondering if anyone here has installed one or had one installed. I'm looking at something...

North Umpqua predicted to hit ~23' at Winchester today. I live on the river about 8mi upstream from the dam. We're heading to my daughter's place for an early dinner. Hope to be back and take pics during the zenith. I've been here 8 years and I don't think I've seen anything even up to 20'. My...

There's some good free agent O linemen available. Pick up a couple and let Sam Howell cook!!

I'm going to miss watching DK play for the hawks but this was probably the right move. Hopefully they're clearing some cap to add talent to the o-line. Word is McDonald is trying to re-build the offense from the trenches up and develop a legit run game.

I even tried removing the seeds and they were like sticking a bic lighter in my mouth and pulling the trigger. I'll go with the cayenne. I'm looking for something along the lines of the chili paste you get at a good Thai restaurant.

Also wondering if anyone grows Thai chilis and makes their own paste or crushed chili powder. I tried it last year and wound up with a chili paste that would probably be banned by the Geneva convention... I like things hot but this hurt my eyes just to open the jar...
