    Utter failure. I suck.

    Ferrari 550 Maranello like this... Since the beginning Ferrari thinks of each bank of cylinders as almost a separate motor tied to a common crankshaft so there is almost always right left redundancy....two ECUs,, two fuel pumps, left right temp sensors, left right crank sensors. In that...

    Utter failure. I suck.

    We all have our crosses to bare. I'm a car nerd. I was doing the cam timing and major service on my V-12 here. This would have caused you a heart attack.

    Float trip heat

    float means river could be western states for trout? All I can add is keep them in the water. If it's hot for you it is hotter for the fish. Watch those water temps!

    Things you wish you knew before you serviced your outboard

    I have never opened an outboard but rebuilt plenty of car motors and transmissions. I race cars and my italian cars don't break down. That said the two biggest problem I see with newbies is they fail to take off enough stuff to get good access to what they are trying to fix. The second is not...

    Personal Health?

    Worst thing is buying exercise equipment that end up as coat racks. I'm too impatient to drive to the gym. I also don't like crowds. There is nothing better walking the beach hunting for fish but it isn't cardiovascular. The best thing I have bought in the last 10 years has been a wahoo...

    Utter failure. I suck.

    carbs are pretty simple but complicated for today because we all do FI. I grew up with weber carbs. My suggestion would be to start over. Take it apart clean it again get the right gasket kit and rebuild it. But there is probably an instruction book on it so you can get the order of...

    Is this good or bad? I thought hatchery caused weakening of the wild genetic strain? A hatchery can support a sport fishery but if zero take is instituted and the wild fish can thrive will that be the ultimate outcome? I read some pluses and minuses on hatchery but don't know the real science.

    NFR Washed car vs birds…🤬

    I hate when that happens. I try and control my water waste but if my cars get straffed by birds I'm washing. If I ever really get into hunting, it will be for birds.

    What's your favorite mono running line & why?

    The only reason I use braid is first that's what I have. Second I can tighten until it bites nicely into the coating and can be cut nicely flush. then the epoxy holds and seals everything so water does not get into the dacron core and smooths the knot so it runs through the guides.

    What's your favorite mono running line & why?

    When doing this I just make a loop and then nail knot with braid then coat with UV epoxy. It is clean that way and goes through the guides.

    Decades on the Firehole

    I have great memories on the Firehole. It's where I took my 3y/o daughter to learn to fly fish. Waters are shallow perfect for a 3ft tall kid in little kiddie waders. In a few years she was tying her own flies and still holes our family record on the gibbon.
