Well, I went to the dentist today to get a cavity filled. Rather, an old mercury amalgam filling removed and a new filling installed. And as I was snarking up the ol' nitrous, I started to think about fly tying as the dentist turned on the yellow light and started placing something. Turns out...

I still use the caddis, and oar if I need to go faster on my SouthFork. I've an old pair of neoprene flats booties I wear with them to protect my waders from gravel while I'm walking around before launching and after I get out, I used to wear an old pair of sandals, I'll do anything to not wear...

Grab your rod, a few Adams, elkhairs, hares ears, and a bugger or two in a liitle box and go find out!

My gen 2 dishy has a heater for snow and ice. I've had no weather related outages that I recall in several years. As to competition, I hope so, very much. But as yet Space Mobile is for "operator partners". Not for me. And Bezos rocket just blew up on the pad. Starlink desperately needs...

I have no ground-based internet, signed up for starlink on the waiting list. I’m on the standard plan, paid $600 for the hardware and now $100+ per month. We stream tv and audio, I ran my business on it, its a big part of our lives and family connections. Speed right now 103 Mbps down, 14 up...

There’s a westbound station hwy 12 just before the climb up to McDonald Pass outa Helena. The stops for me are a nice break. The fees in ID and MT sorta suck, but, whatever.

When I worked around there in the olden days, Weyco owned it, and I recall it was the largest mill of its kind in the world. Very complex, a remarkable feat of engineering at every turn.

I used to run one deep cycle charged off the battery for starting and the electronics, and one separate battery for the bow mount trolling motor. I now run a deep cycle AGM for the starting battery, one 50Ah lithium for electronics, and one Group 27 AGM for the trolling motor, and an onboard 3...

Wow. My best wishes for a quick recovery to the injured, my hopes for safe response to the responders, and I'm saddend and sympathetic to those families of those who were fatally injured. For those residents and others within the vicinity of the Longview plant, please comply with orders and...

I saw an instagram for these, they were offering 2 for like $70. caveat emptor.

The picture is of her dressed in wool hunting clothes and tin pants with a rifle. And she’s been dead 20 years and more, so I can’t ask her. You’re stuck with my memory, sorry.

My parents would've had a different answer than I might. I learned to drive a cat for my old man as a young boy (9? 10?) behind Lower Monumental Dam before they filled the reservoir. I remember the smudge pots on the gravel bars in the river the anglers used to stay warm during the fall/winter...

EMT: cool idea! I may retrofit mine which I renewed last year

The marine version is $225.

I had a brandy-new Washington Parks guy get pretty aggressive at a parking lot one time, Discover Pass, then fishing license, then checking my box for barbs and lecturing me they all needed to be pinched (wrong). Got kinda fresh when I asked what statutory authority a Parks guy had to enforce...

One day at a time, buddy. And calling a time out is okay, take a deep breath, feel the breeze or the sun. Everyone gets it. And if they don't, f'em. You do you.

I love this feature….

Given “Reaping”, the latest craze in turkey hunting involves dressing up like a turkey to simulate a gobbler thus crawling up close, I’m hardly surprised folks get shot. My question is was it a 3 year old, or just someone with the mentality of a 3 year old….

I guess in the end we’ll evaluate this in the fall. How many campgrounds closed, how many campground toilets unusable for how long, how many clearcuts not reforested, how many fires burning until the snows come. How many timber sales moved forward, how many miles of road maintained, etc.

In an activity-based organization, activities are funded in accordance with the priorities of the management. If your activity is a crappy idea, or is a good idea that isn't a management priority, it doesn't get funded. If it marginally meets a managment priority for whatever reason, it...
