I seek out opportunities to avoid media: recorded music, recorded discussions, shows and such. Silence, or at least areas of only natural noise, is so hard to find. My ear ringing makes it hard to hear things I want to hear, sadly my partners’ radio on the golf course, or worse the abomination...

Seems like Springtime in the Rockies is 2-3 weeks early. Sorta. Go Cougs!

Yeah, first, it's about 200 bucks or so. Its a gadget that wires in parallel to your existing kill switch. The instructions are pretty straightforward. You install the base wired into the existing kill switch wires, a "switch on" power source, and grounded it to the existing ground buss. My base...

Canon MF650C..found it on sale. HP cured me of brand loyalty, nowadays for computer stuff I just shop sales. I don't need cutting edge shit anymore.

Fell MOB+ tetherless kill switch installed and functional. No more tethering with a big long string getting tangled around myself, my fishing stuff, and my dog when fishing without a partner. And a solution to my recurring nightmare: treading water while watching my boat and my dog cross the...

I gave up on inkjets. We don't print a lot, so they clog....Brother, HP, all of em. and they are a PITA to blow out. And they clog right after you refill'm for a couple hundred bucks. I got a laser, I don't think the brand matters, it copies, scans, and prints color. Found on sale. So far no...

I did polarized progressive bifocals with 2.5 readers one season. Wading and bushwhacking down slopes to tge stream became very hazardous. I now have distance corrected polarized lenses, and a set of 2.5 readers for changing flies and other up close work. I got Smith frames for them, they fit...

My used boat came with an older terrova with i-pilot and spot lock. I didn’t know if I would use it. Now i wouldn’t have anything else. Very useful. My terrova is 12v-55lb on a 16’ lowe.

Yeah…. No boat numbers, not northwest vegetation in the pics

I’m all digital. It’s okay, though searching around for the various other endorsements is a PITA. It’s supposed to pair with a electronic federal duck stamp too. I’m gonna miss the artwork of the waterfowl stamps. As to what to do when you get checked, who knows? The last time i handed the...

Yeah, in fact I do know.

If you miss out and you’re in the puget sound, Washington FFI is having a casting fair in Issaquah in April. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/washingtonflyfishersinternational/1973309

I had such a blast a couple of years ago. I met a ton of famous (and other not famous) people, all of whom were just very personable and charming and fun to talk to while they tied, I learned a great deal. I learned, for example, no fancy vise required, a couple of vise grips on a board work...

Ah, well, that makes it easy.

There was no ability online for the WA Columbia River Trib endorsement. Is it wrapped into the regular license?

For precipitaiton for the water year, here in the Northwest all basins are pretty close or slightly above the 1991-2020 median value. For Snow water equivalent, for the water year the outlook is somewhere between horrible and ghastly in the Cascades/Coast Ranges, but just pretty dry (66% or...

My wife grows peppers. Doesn't eat them. Not as sauce, ingredients, etc. She's a total chowderhead. But she grows some mean peppers. I let them dry, or dry them in a food dehydrator, then I remove the stems, put'm in a blender with some water and vinegar, and grind'm up. I calll it Guy's...

Yeah, the cost of everything is up. Licenses too. I am happy with the mobile option so I no longer need tote the 18 feet of receipt paper in my pockets for hunting/waterfowl/tags/steelhead punch cards/etc. etc. As an old guy, I'm confused about or ignorant of how or if I need a catch record...

Nice looking brisket. Spendy, nowadays, eh? Franklin's seasoning profile is nice. Post oak only if you can find it, otherwise apple or cherry, but unless you're experienced no hickory. You can overdo hickory very easily, and everything will taste like creosote. Unless of course you like...

Politics aside, he was one of Dr. King’s last remaining protégés . A generation of commitment is passing replaced by, well I don’t really know. Politics back in the discussion, you never doubted where he stood. I really can’t say better than that.
