    Got any bird pics?

    Thanks, I did check, Boot; no new files. I was shooting my old Sony A9II. I checked both cards. I'm starting to wonder if I somehow inadvertantly deleted the DCIM folder as I opened it. I checked history but there were no files to restore. No biggy; I'll play catch-up over the next few days.

    Very cool, Boot! I had a target rich morning myself - great Pelican & hiding Rooster close-ups; various shorebirds & a couple brightly colored song birds, all of which I need to identify. Captured 2 Ravens and a distant Osprey. Even caught some swallows on the wing, 1 Heron and even some capr...

    SFR 45 years ago today…..

    I was running a country bar in the Deerlodge Valley. I rose early and got the coffee on so the ranchers could stop by for their morning shot & a coffee. I walked out the front door later and saw that the skies to the west were dark. I said to myself "Man, looks like a dandy storm rolling in. "...

    SFR Sears, Roebuck and Co

    When I worked in Bremerton back in the 70's I stopped by the B&I on occasion. One time a couple nuns were squiring a group of grade school kids on an Ivan visit. Ivan evidently was "excited" by all the attention & became somewhat distastefully "animated." The nuns were shocked & frantically...

    SFR Sears, Roebuck and Co

    Craftsman tools were prized possessions that lasted back in the day. My fav mail order wish book was Herters. I still have a couple knives, some hooks, a tying vise & some reloading stuff (plus 1 old catalog). I wish I would have hung on to my LH Herters Sitka Magnum recurve bow; it was a beauty!

    Whatzit ?

    If it was a bit smaller, I say a Cicada burrow/hole. They generally make a very tidy hole with no dirt pile.

    Disrespectful attitudes towards wildlife.

    Yup. The ones that float around on their back laughing at you while you're switching flies and wondering why the bass aren't hitting . . . 'Course my hat was off so they might have thought I was Mumbles . . .

    Backyard Wildlife

    The first time my Son's Jack caught a mouse and he witnessed the characteristic "beating rodent senseless against the ground" procedure, he called me at work with this report: "Sadie caught a mouse. Holy shit Dad, she's brutal." 200# attitude in a 9# body.. My Lab even deferred to her.

    Cant fix stupid!

    I'm glad no one else was hurt. The idiot earned his prize. "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

    On the hunt for giant Columbia River bass🤠

    That's part of the reason I cherished it so. Not all that many years ago, I rarely saw others in there. The Bass version of "Curtis Creek" . . .
