    NFR Need vehicle opinions.

    My wife and I and extended family have had a bunch of Subarus with no problems beyond routine maintenance. Manual transmissions are all but impossible to get any more, but the CVTs appear to work just fine despite people generally complaining about them. I found myself needing a daily driver...

    Rain

    Mrs. Salmo and I were staying in a cabin near Stehekin this past week. Wednesday during dinner a gust of high wind rolled through with some rain, bringing some thunder and lightning - and a power and water outage at our cabin. Unplanned adventure, you might say. Glad I wasn't hiking on a...

    Floating phone case?

    Exactly why I still have and occasionally use an old school (can't believe I'm calling it old school) digital pocket sized camera. One that doesn't make phone calls.

    What Are You Eating?

    That's my take on Indian food generally. And 4 star spicy hot as hell too! I concluded that Indian cuisine just isn't intended for this Scandinavian.

    It's good to read that you've made such good progress Jerry. Keep on truckin'!

    Non-Fly Baker lake sockeye 2026

    It must have been WW's banana hat that he's determined to make into a "lucky fishing hat." Obviously it needs some work yet. Saturday we hooked 6, which wasn't bad. What was bad is that we didn't boat a single one of them. Sunday started out slower and remained that way - all the biters were...

    Anyone remember?

    Could that be the falls on the lower Boulder River in YNP?

    Pontoon Inflator

    I this inflator battery powered? Or use household current? I have and liked using my Ryobi inflator that uses standard Ryobi tool batteries. But my tendonitis has me wanting an inflator powerful enough to top off my raft.

    Do we know that cougars and bobcats are affected by catnip in the same way as domestic cats?

    NFR New wildfires popping up on a daily basis!

    Not making light of the fire, but it's news to me that there is a city at Vantage. I thought I'd been to Vantage; there's a gas station and a motel. As an aside, I have dim memories before Wanapum Dam as a child when we drove over the Columbia River bridge when there was a small village at...

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    Probably less than a whole tube. It's a bargain, can't you see?

    NFR New wildfires popping up on a daily basis!

    Hey, wait, are you insinuating that backhoes are NOT part of the solution?

    NFR New wildfires popping up on a daily basis!

    I don't think that is the intent at all. Rather, it is when someone behaves or talks like an idiot, then we insinuate that they are an idiot.

    What Are You Eating?

    The gal at the Fred Meyer deli told me they plan to carry it regularly now instead of just for the first couple months they had it. I like the smokier flavor and paprika. And Buzzy was wrong when he posted that the Rueben, ". . . When done well it is just about the best sandwich ever!" It's...

    Your Single Fly

    For stillwater it's one of two choices for me. My usual is also a black leech, with a red or orange bead head. Alternatively, I use a Six-pack. Black and olive are colors that just seem to work most often.

    Yes, natural bait at that.

    NFR New wildfires popping up on a daily basis!

    I think we need a working definition of what sustainable forestry is. One might argue for 40 year rotations of Doug fir pecker poles and call that sustainable. It's not what I have in mind. I was briefly acquainted with a forester in the harvest crazy 80s in the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie who said...

    NFR World Cup

    Looking at the stats VMP posted above, it's interesting that passing accuracy was higher for the U.S. than for Belgium. It seemed to me that every time on attack, when passing really mattered, Belgium intercepted. They were so clearly better at winning the ball. There was no "woulda'...
