    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Now that is real service! Looks stout and very functional....I've never felt comfortable with those rack systems that cantilever a large number of bikes far off the vehicle via bumper hitch. The Kingston vertical style design puts the bikes/rack weight where it should be...not at the end of a...

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    Self medication and the search for easy euphoria will never go out of style.

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    My parents were heavy drinkers, as were all of their friends. All my teenage friends drank, as did their parents. And during my hitch in the Marine Corps heavy drinking was the norm and encouraged via cheap e-club booze. Everybody I fished with swilled beer all day, though nobody boozed it up...

    What was your moment that inspired your transition to flyfishing?

    Born caesarean with flyrod in hand. No wonder mom was cranky. Seriously though, my old man and grandfather were flyfishermen. Other than a few toddler years dunkin' worms, and very brief forays into spin gear for bass, flyfishing for trout is all I've done for almost 70 years. Started tying...

    Poor mans retirement. Panama?

    Yup...and the quickest way a FNG can be shunned in a new community (foreign or domestic) is to start telling the locals what their community/country is doing wrong...and how to fix it. And in a great many communities you'll be a FNG forever, but accepted if you can keep your opinions to yourself.

    Western Water, or lack thereof

    We're never ready for anything...as a species we're pre-programmed for immediate gratification. Being proactive just ain't in our genes, much like our lack of interest in not repeating historical mistakes over and over again. If it hasn't happened in our direct personal experience it doesn't...

    Sure, maybe an African Swallow could do it, but not a European Swallow....

    Fitness/Health/Exercise Stuff with Evan

    Shoes of the era were indeed abysmal, but there weren't really any widely accepted weekly mileage routines focusing on simply completing a marathon. Achieving a good marathon time was everything and most of us put in 75 to 100 mile weeks, twice daily runs, with many weekly 20 mile days...

    Fitness/Health/Exercise Stuff with Evan

    At 74 my main physical goals are to maintain flexibility, endurance and strength to do the things I enjoy, and retirement four years ago has made it even easier to do so. In my younger years I trained for full marathons and while I managed a consistent time of around 3:30 I'm relieved that the...

    Holsters

    The soft synthetic IWB holsters made by Uncle Mike or Blackhawk are very comfortable. Provide plenty of protection for triggers and are very reasonably priced. IWB holsters work best with smaller handguns like a Glock 42, Ruger LCP, or Taurus Millenium 45 ACP. I've tried kydex IWB and found...

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    When I called a local theater to see what times a certain movie opening this weekend was playing the lady said "That depends upon what time you wanna show up".

    NFR Life is for the Living, not the Existing.

    As a younger man with a family I took many risks during mountaineering, motorcycling, and in the Marine Corps that I now look back upon with a considerable degree of regret. Yeah...I made it, but quite a few of my friends didn't. Other men are enjoying a life with those friends' wives, children...

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    I think a hell of a lot of parents now tend to not push their children into getting a driver's license simply because of the rather daunting financial impact of insuring a teenage driver.
