    Super helpful thank you. I have so much to learn.

    Bread Thread

    Inspired in part by this thread, I have begun my sourdough journey. Three bakes so far have gone well and I plan to keep on working at it. I've been sticking to King Arthur's Naturally Leavened recipe. My question is around starter and specifically why am I discarding so much? At some point I...

    Best sports un-retirement of the weekend.

    Which may or may not have factored into her crash. Broken legs can and do happen to downhill racers all the time torn ACL or not. Could have happened to any one of them.

    Best sports un-retirement of the weekend.

    Just crushing to watch. She drew bib #13..... It is just unfathomable to me the risk and pain she and so many other top athletes put themselves through. One (pretty major) injury was all it took for me to quit racing motorcycles, yet she and so many others fight to return again and again...

    The 2025 NFL Season Discussion

    While reading this article about Steve Raible this morning I realized that I've been a Seahawks fan for 50 years. Damn I'm old. https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/steve-raible-reflects-on-seahawks-success-and-broadcast-career/

    NFR Life is for the Living, not the Existing.

    Very true, and I did everything I could to mitigate the risks I took. But then there's the thought of what sort of person I would have been if I had longed to race but decided against it because I didn't want to chance leaving my family without a father. I felt alive at the time and look back on...

    NFR Life is for the Living, not the Existing.

    I am enjoying the downshift that happened when I retired. I've lived an incredibly blessed life (cancer aside) and still feel very alive. I saw this the other day and thought back to the years I spent racing motorcycles and cars. There is nothing that can make you feel more alive and probably...

    Hadn't really looked at Yahoo Finance before but did get a chuckle out of this headline California Residents Earning Over $500K Finally Get Some Relief

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    I guess I consider myself one of the lucky ones that has never had a problem with drinking. I do not like to feel out of control (and HATE throwing up) so never have more than two drinks at a sitting or in a day. Well I can't say never but it's been decades and can count the times in my life...

    NFR Superb Owl 2026: Seahawks vs Patriots (official thread)

    Only been to a handful of 'Hawks games but two stand out as a couple of the most memorable moments of my life. Don't recall the year, but it was one of the 'Raider Hater' games in the Kingdome. It was so loud I was actually fearing that the roof might come down. Second was the 2014...

    Reloading stuff

    Was given to me years ago and I've never used it. I'm sure there's newer more automated stuff now but hey, it's free! Brass is 9mm

    Muscle memory has that coming off after thousands of draws. Would never own a gun without. To each their own.

    Guns

    I shot competitively (against Massad Ayoob once!) back in the day. I could barely afford my 1911 and definitely could not afford custom grips. So I took a rat tail file to the left side wooden grip that my thumb could fit into. Sold that gun long ago and when shopping for a new one several years...

    Watch those scams

    Something y’all might consider is freezing your credit reports. Did that a couple of years ago and it’s peace of mind in case I actually fall all the way for a scam like I came very close to yesterday. Freezing your credit report, also called a security freeze, blocks lenders from accessing...

    Watch those scams

    Sorry I should have been more clear. The email appeared to be from Netflix and was saying that the credit card I was using for payment had been declined. I foolishly clicked on the link to put in my new cc info. Once it finally hit me I backed out of everything and hope they weren't able to...
