This is a wonderful thread and I am enjoying reading about everyone's career paths. For me, I've wanted to do what I ended up doing since I was in elementary school. My parents were both teachers though Mom mostly stayed at home. Dad was a seasonal backcountry ranger in Yosemite National Park...

I try to get together with my two buddies Don and Dan once or twice a year for some sort of fly fishing centric adventure. We worked together for 30 plus years and have all been retired for close to 10 years now. We call our little group "the geezers" and this past week, we were at my place on...

Another Devils Lake cloudscape from a few weeks ago - this one is the pretty underside of an anvil from a offshore thunderstorm.

I think the forecast models and forecasters underestimated precip totals from the front that is currently moving through Oregon. We have received 2.20" since about 10:30 pm last night at our place outside of Lincoln City. It's tapering off now but it's a good dosing for the very dry Oregon Coast.

I always keep a Reliefband (https://reliefband.com/) watch on my boat for passengers to use. I first found out about it from a work colleague maybe 20 years ago. We did aerial waterfowl surveys together from a small fixed wing airplane and she often would get motion sickness. The watch (she...

Yesterday's spinner tossing crowd at the mouth of Siletz Bay - Oregon Coast.

Last night's thunderstorm updraft over the eastern foothills of Oregon's Coast Range with Devils Lake in the foreground.

Nice - I'm always looking for new flies to sling at finicky tidewater staging coho. What sized hooks do you like to use?

A buddy of mine caught one off Brookings/Gold Beach back in October, 2004... there were a handful caught that day by the fleet.

The Oregon estuary fall chinook trolling season is fully under way. It's about time to battle the bankies and sling some flies at em...

A geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for tonight and tomorrow night. CME on its way

We did some dirt bag trolling today on the Siletz River estuary - just another gorgeous day on the Oregon Coast.

I absolutely love your images - especially of the Sandhills. The bottom image appears to be a redhead duck brood. Nice capture!

Thanks as usual for the excellent photos Steve! Back during my days of gainful employment, the bittern's booming, guttural "pump-er-lunk" calls were one of my favorite signs that spring had arrived.

We had a pretty good rain event here near Lincoln City - 2.20" in the Coastal Mountains (Salmon River watershed) and 1.34" here at the house. Most of the local rivers have gone from at or near record low flows to record high flows for the date.

Depending on your budget, you might was to check out Leupold. The company is based in Beaverton Oregon though I think they no longer assemble binoculars in the US. I believe their higher end ones are made in Japan. I've had a pair of Leupold 10x42 Gold Ring binoculars for about 30 years...

What additional ingredients are required for your humpy burger? I've never had pink salmon but it sounds like it's a protein that requires not insignificant seasoning. ;)

Got up to 84 today in Neotsu (about 1.5 miles from the ocean)... way too hot.

The ducklings are looking good!

We are up to .79" in Neotsu just outside Lincoln City. The hydrographs for all of the local rivers have bumped and in some cases nearly doubled. This rain event has provided relief for watersheds that have been at or near record low flows.
