New no-flop rule will certainly improve the game, but also detract from entertainment value!

Bad Brains 1983

Statistically (location, time of year, run size) it was likely a coho. Cutts can be anywhere in the system that they can access.

Been using that Gerber for decades, and they are without question disposable rust-buckets. However, I often drop mine in a river before they lock up from rust

I know some federal employees are scrambling right now to gather all the stuff they need to work at home (illegally, without pay) when they get furloughed … just because there’s work to be done, with a conscience, no matter what stupidity occurs in DC. Folks who think this is a paid vacation...

One of our guitarorrists was the pizza guy, and he’d often bring one to practice. I can own the drooling.

Ween opened for my band ca. 1988, just Gene and Dean and a drum machine. As a drummer, I really dislike like drum machines (outside of more dancey music / hip hop) and wrote them off for years. It took a long time for me to shake that initial bad impression, rediscovered them 20 years later.

Far as I can tell, this is both the start and the end of this topic. None of the 34 papers citing this work by Crockford take further steps to clarify the historic use or distribution of bluefin in the NE Pacific and I couldn’t locate any others. That’s unfortunate and Crockford is apparently...

I like pliers with side cutters, so the cutters don’t interfere with hook removal on unruly fish. I also like plastic handles with cold wet hands. I am partial to these Penn pliers, with sheath and cord, sometimes on sale for $35.

I watch debates to get a sense of candidates’ demeanors, and their ability/interest in answering actual questions posed to them (vs deflection and self-aggrandizement). I just loved the question about UFOs and that the answer actually ended with the word “UFOs.” I otherwise find the...

I use a two-hand 13’5” 9 wt when wading rivers (mostly pure swings) and a single hand 9 wt fishing from the boat (swinging and stripping). My 9 wt single handers are saltwater models with some strength to fight fish, not the less beefy “all water” 9wts. As noted above a 10wt comes in handy...

On the sled: reels go in pouches, on the floor, with rod tips pointed out the back over the transom held by a foam rod holder. I used a 3 slot, might change to 6 slot. Foam rod holder is attached to a Scotty 367 fish-finder plate, with a small extension into a Scotty base.

Favorites keep dropping games … personally I like it when recent (< 3 yr) conference / league champions go down. Spread the success and keep things interesting.

It was something else to watch Harden just switch-switch-switch to get the defender he wanted. Boston will definitely have a response in game 2. Hoping Embiid gets back on the floor soon!

Have traveled all over Patagonia … if interested in nature, the Araucaria forests are mind blowing. The Alerce forests are cool, too, but not quite the mental floss of the monkey puzzles. Best to check on recent status, as a decade of drought and fire has taken its toll in some areas.

I fully expect the East will win it all if key starters stay healthy, only wish it was my personal favorite 76ers instead of the Celtics or Bucks

I wish Grunden’s luck. It is good to have choices. I remember when Cloudveil stuck their toe in the wader game, they had an excellent product, but couldn’t keep up with the cost of repairs and bailed. For me, I won’t be trying these Grunden’s unless they make the XL and bigger wader booties...

These seem worth a look. I have been happy with 10 ply in a similar mild tread Bridgestone Revo, low noise and low rolling resistance, great in rain but awful in snow.

Drift boat (metal or glass) with motor is incredibly versatile. I haven’t been able to convince myself to do it (bought a sled instead) but it is the fishing craft of choice of most folks that I know.

With shooting heads in moving water, you don’t so much “mend” as you “steer” the line. It is very effective when fishing a far seam across conflicting currents
