Going to check my schedule. May be up on the LJ at that time but…never know. Front of house faces NE, unfortunately the deck is on the SW. It’s on my calendar anyway.

Excellent as a midafternoon snack, or if the granny is the right size, lunch from heaven.

Excellent Adventure @Brute ! Loved that area of my trip northbound this past June. I saw more bison & bears than human activity, motorized or otherwise, from when I entered the valley until I crossed the Liard. Kept thinking…..I bet there’s gold in them there waters. Don’t want to hijack the...

Jesus! Between the Argyles and that Tie Me Kangaroo Down song American access to music had hit the shitter on AM in the early 60s. Thank god there was a reset. Sometimes bad is good. Give me a large dose of CCR and Bob Seeger for travel and anything by Rachmaninov for evening contemplation. I...

Amazing topography in that area of the world. The silence is deafening when stopped with the motor off just embracing what your eyes are capturing. Thanks for the ride along.

Passed through there shortly after a launch/non-launch exploded shortly after lift off one night about 15 years ago. I had just cleared the CBBT N/B and the night sky just lit up in the windshield like the start of an August night thunderstorm but it wasn’t a flash and gone moment. Lingered for...

You’re not alone on that aroma. Recent new moon probably doesn’t help. Wearing a plaid shirt is also verboten! 😉

Unlike yourself and @Canuck from Kansas neighborhood we’ve been forecast for biggly amounts and flooding, but the majority has followed the NE arc and moved around us. Basically a heavy mist with thunder. 🤏🏼 Did go back to NC for an eye check on the new lookers and was greeted with 2 days out of...

I haven’t bought a new rod, other than a Steffen glass in 10+ years so I can’t comment on new/recent. I love my XP690-4 a lot more now after having replaced the original cork with a modified fulls wells. Pretty much my only complaint about my Sage trout rods was the size of the grip. I’ll be...

Your thoughts on the transom saver regarding the negative effect on your lower unit are correct. In the last 15 years or so hauling and delivering new and used boats from dealers and manufacturers especially, it became verboten to use transom savers as the kinetic energy generated by the trailer...

Excellent as usual, Steve. Gary also. I can “hear” the sound of moving water in my mind after reading. Always love attending one of Steve’s science classes.

Never leave home without some of these. They make fairly good camera lens also, $12 +/-

Have it on order. Recently being near, around, and among them in BC & the Yukon I decided to read more on the herds being re-established and the locations associated with that process. I learned that there are two sub species, the Woods Bison and the Prairie Bison with the Wood Bison being the...

“Hiroshima” by John Hersey. Initially published in 1946 as a complete article in The New Yorker magazine. It gave America, and the world, a first insight as to what occurred on that Sunday morning, August 6 1945, and days, months, and years after. Written in a Journalism 101 style of who...

I’ve been to some skeeter/insect infested areas here on Mother Earth, and ended up looking like a dart board on Monday morning after a tournament, but the upper D ranks right up there with anything ever encountered. And I was warned by @Canuck from Kansas. A strange sound emanating from the...

Great reels and the MZ versions are pretty much bullet proof….not idiot, but bullet, nonetheless. Always thought they never received the love they deserved due to lack of marketing. The reel and spare spool will cover a vast amount of different scenarios…ocean & fresh water.

Same hub each time? Do you dunk when hubs are hot? Heat is your enemy. How far do you tow before launching? Check temp on hubs before launch with hand? Are any hot to touch? Grease….less is more. Too much you’ll blow the cap off, and diaphragm en-route if extensive distance. Key point mentioned...

Being the Sox it does take practice. Narveaz (sp?) must have seen Harper coming and the pitcher, probably a lefty never saw him break for home. 3B and 1B should have been screaming. Narveaz caught the ball in front of the plate so game over. He’s been a gift from the Yankees. Who’d a thought! I...

Epic! Outstanding report regarding the correlation between the 2020 lack of commercial fishing and the amount of 2025 returns. Funny how that works. Looks and sounds as if everyone had a grand time, except maybe some sockeye but win some lose some. Would love to see the bears up close and...

Had me at Elucidated..
