I was a rider in a toboggan once, behind a Suzuki 90cc. Much mud and rocks mixed with snow being flung in my direction, I came to my senses and rolled off.

1st grade or as they say in Canada, grade 1. My teacher could barely speak, she was so upset. She sent us home, where the TV was on, and my mom was watching the news unfold. I knew it was bad, but was not all that up to speed on what it all meant at the time.

Nail polish remover is mostly acetone.

Permabond also recommends soaking in warm water to weaken the bond if you're worried about acetone, which would work faster. I believe the water treatment softens the glue, making it easier to scrape off with something.

I have lived in a place that used to have a lot of power outages as the lines were run next to trees. Longest outage we had was probably 12 hours one Christmas. (we had a bunch of snow along with that so freezer had an easy time) Now that they put the lines up our road under ground the outages...

I believe he meant that if a person caught 10 fish on typical gear, but out of ten similar fish on biodegradable gear 5 would be lost to the gear failing. 50% would be too high for me, but I am careful to clean up after myself. I sure find a lot of discarded line along the Cowlitz though. I...

Yup, same thing, except all the good guys died a long time ago and left the bad guys to duke it out over what's left.

I don't hold Echo to the same standard as Sage. I remember standing in Kauffman's being told precisely that they would replace it even IF you slammed your car door on it. And it was at the time the most expensive piece of laminate I had ever seen. Someone must have done some form of math and...

All of my rods, save one are made in USA. I like most of them, including a DS 5wt I forgot I had. I have a close friend that had a nice sp 5wt that he broke, and having been assured that he was buying a rod with and UNCONDITIONAL warranty, he did get his rod fixed, and it was free, but it came...

I have never owned a sage, but I have witnessed the company go from taking very very good care of their customers to where they are now. It's hard for me to comprehend how they could be losing their ass at the prices they sell their stuff for. If I buy a snap on tool, at four or five times the...

Ours haven't gone down... My wife overuses the cruise in her Outback, and the thing eats brakes, for all kinds of moves where just getting off the accelerator would suffice. In a decade or so this stuff might be good enough that I will use it, not yet there, IMO.

The 20,000 dollars you spent for the gadgets you aren't using. I totally agree though, there are some really useful things in these newfangled machines.

Never tried those but I like the look of them. I wonder if you can get away with bending those finger holes for a custom fit?

Maybe it's about to start spouting fracking water. The geologists aren't concerned yet. There was a lot more going on in 1980.

Making light of others problems is kinda uncool, but I will say that if it were not for these eruptions there would be no place to build homes and businesses in the mid pacific. Blessing and a curse, but mostly blessing.

If a St Helens type eruption were to take place, I would be nervous about living in Trout Lake. The amount of sand that came out of St. H. might make Bonneville dam a sediment fixture.

My wife is a quilter, Mom was too. We have at least twenty worn out pairs of scissors around here, but I have a pair of gingher dressmakers shears that belonged to my Mom that are probably 50 years old and still work fine. The problem I have always found though is the scissors sold for sewing...

When will they make a gadget to turn your cellphone off if you touch it while the vehicle is in motion? I looked at the f150 a couple days ago, jam packed with crap I don't need to get the options I want. Give me a powerful and efficient motor and transmission, a music maker with an on/off...

I recently watched a video of a charteboat captain in AK who routinely toasts the end of the line after tying with a lighter to make a bit of a ball on the end so it can't slip through. Seems like a good practice, for knots tied at home, out of the wind.

I dove off the coast of California where there was a healthy population of sea otters, they were curious and accompanied us quite a bit of the time we were there. The area was incredibly heathy, all kinds of life. No parking lot scenario. I also got an invite to go gather pinto abalone with...
