    Fly Fishing Elitism?

    “Golfing” is not elitist. However, meeting at the club to dine before playing an afternoon round to assure your handicap is still in single digits while having your clubs cleaned by one of the clubhouse boys might be. Just sayin….. But I do agree more people should take up the pastime. Oh...

    Smooth fly line to backing connection

    Using a blind splice on the backing with a backing loop at least 12” - 15” I run the backing through the fly line loop three times over the fly line back through the loop without drawing it tight. I then use a dental pick to help feed the backing down the sides of the fly line loop before making...

    Part-Time, Volunteer, or other opportunities?

    Being in the Portland area you would have multiple opportunities to mentor high school students at the first year level due to all of the mental, emotional, and physical changes the students will encounter. Conversely, graduating students heading out into today’s world could use access to all of...

    What are you watching?

    After watching Geoffrey Ward & Ken Burns’ The American Revolution last week, which was excellent BTW, I decided to upgrade my PBS account and bite the bullet $$ wise, just because. There is so much excellent content available from the archives that I figured I couldn’t go wrong with anything by...

    Raleigh because he plays the toughest position in bb and if I remember correctly I think he had a pretty good year on every side of the plate except the bottom.

    If you don't try...

    Much respect for what you’ve done, especially stepping up for your community, present and past. As more generations migrate from birth areas in pursuit of jobs, better living conditions, parental (health)care, military involvement etc, the past tends to recede into the dark recesses of the...

    Great effort Shawn. Set a great example for the kids, neighbors, & community. I also am wondering about the “Cemetery District”. Thought for a moment you had been elected to a …. well a Groundskeeper position of sorts.

    Baseball 2025

    Read about 5 articles on this yesterday. It appears Clase got more greedy (and stupid) by each windfall and decided he wanted in on the fun, and $$$. He was on a roll at one point throwing wagered non strikes when a batter chased ball four and struck out on a pitch in the dirt. That “K” cost...

    NFR The time switch sucks!

    On June 20/21 this year I watched, along with the A/F family, the Fairbanks vs Anchorage Midnight Sun Game in Fairbanks as part of the Alaska Collegiate Baseball League. Game started promptly at 10:00 PM and finished around 1:30 AM. With Zero lights. It think it was the 100th Midnight Sun...

    What are you listening to?

    Been listening to a lot of Warren Zevon after checking in on the recent tribute concert put on by Warren’s son and Jackson Brown. Always liked his music as he never followed the parade that other musicians joined way back when...

    Baseball 2025

    Yamamoto was a machine. How he went three innings was remarkable. After pitching yesterday (Friday) you could see a couple of power leg buckles, for want of a better description, in his last two innings. Normally that would have left the pitch up in the zone but his motion, repetitive on all...

    What are you watching?

    Slow Horses on 🍏 tv. Hilariously serious. Gary Oldman kills it. Great actor, Shakespeare trained. I’d pay to watch him think.
