Need a roof this year. I'm considering a metal roof. One of the things about metal that would help offset the cost is it's ability to reflect UVs rather than absorb like an asphalt roof. My unfinished attic space and bonus room over the garage get hotter than blazes in summer. I have to run a...

it ain't over 'til it's over... but it ain't not-over until it's not-over too, right?

Did a Colts defender just arm tackle Josh Allen?

chucking string is closer to the 'truth' than casting flies..

for sure, my fly casting by any other name would suck as much..

Started a blog last winter, had big plans to populate it chalk full of mostly worthless musings but dark beer, jig-saw puzzles, general laziness and a few fishing trips got in the way. Here's the first entry https://3fsflyfishing.com/the-trouble-with-fly-casting/

Colinsworth was diss'ing Herbert pretty bad, saying things like "he's got enough time, it isn't the o-line's fault, etc". I don't completely disagree. He also seemed to be sailing a lot of balls; the game looked like it might have been too big for him. Hard to say, no QB thrives under pass rush...

I'm not sure that transferring banana 'stuff' to the bait is necessary for Banana Induced Fishing Failure (BIFF) to occur. Let's not count out quantum entanglement. Even worse, as I understand it, quantum entanglement has no locality restrictions. Those particles can flip each other off across...

Banana Induced Fishing Failure (BIFF) is real. BIFF effects fisherman everyday and it stinks!

I sort of fell off the Cook bandwagon a while ago, but this video is a gem. Thanks for digging it up!

The negative cases are definitely interesting and I've thought about them. The thing is, catching fish while in the presence of a banana isn't proof positive that they don't have an effect. Other factors (relative abundance of fishing, stellar conditions, etc.) might have outweighed the drag...

My googling is not so good today, but I seem to remember a video of George Cook fishing with a spey rod while wearing bananas hanging on his belt, just to make it fair for the fish.

The first rule of the banana curse it that we don't talk about the banana curse!

Ya, I'm inclined to believe it. I understand there's a chasm between correlation and causation. But causation isn't nothing. Humans stopped eating poisonous things long before they understood biology.

The background is that I'm looking for some way to explain my lack-luster results fishing lately. I know better than to actually bring a banana on a fishing trip. I had to walk home from the boat launch years ago when my buddy saw me munching on one before we launched. I'm wondering just how...

I've found that zap a gap lasts longer for me when I cut about half the bristles off the brush. I think that it's less prone to clog up the opening that way. I have an old pair of scissors I use to cut the bristles in case I don't get the glue wiped off entirely.

I caught more fish than I needed to in 2025 and at least one less than I wanted to. I hope 2026 turns out the same.

Hard to imagine having written a better script than what's happened in the NFC West (unless you're a fan of the Rams or Arizona). I have 0 predictions for the 9'ers hawks match except that it will be a football game and the winner will get the #1 NFC seed. It feels to me like it could be a low...

Is it snowing in Atlanta?

On the other hand... Purdy was just about perfect from what I could see.. didn't watch the entire game. Kittle was all that and a bag of chips. As a hawks fan it's a bit troubling that we only put up 6 field goals when the 9'ers damn near hung a 50 burger on 'em. Best late season in the NFC...
