I’m having a hard time sending more money. Haven’t got tubes for the two I bought already. I know it’s a good deal, but I just want them to get their act together.

I have a friend with no acl in his left knee, he’s a damn fine skier, and does it with no brace. If you know how to do it, the acl is not all that important. The two of us, in our late sixties might occasionally hit the high fifties, just for fun, but we’re incredibly reckless. I tried to...

As bad as the snow situation has been, the folks at White Pass have been doing an awesome job of keeping enough terrain covered so we can have some fun. Was there yesterday wearing a tshirt under my shell. Will be there tomorrow. Pray for snow, do a snow dance… whatever. We need snow for so...

Scientists say you can’t attribute a weather event to climate change, and that is technically right. A whole lot of weather over time is the data used to assess a climate, and so they ARE related. If the climate is changing it is natural that our expectations of what weather we will see should...

Get the manual. Lyman is probably the best for starting out. Read it and it will tell you to start with a light (minimum) load and work up to a load that is not necessarily max, but provides the velocity you need and the accuracy you want. You also don’t want to load too light, because if the...

Nice. Not much improvement on that press is possible. Digital scales are nice. Reloading is for OCD Neanderthals. I am one, so I know.

I like double action/single action pistols with safeties and decockers. I have striker fired pistols also. I know two people who have shot themselves in the leg while holstering a striker fired pistols. An untucked shirt can interfere with the trigger while holstering. My Springfield also...

+1 on canceling that card. Minor inconvenience. Last week in a group text with our kids, we all got a weird text from what looked like my wife’s phone number…. Weird because it should have her name… and it has an attachment. Fortunately no one clicked on it, but another example of how the...

The last phone I had destroyed by salt was a Samsung also. Salt got in through the poorly designed power port. I am on my third IPhone and have much more confidence in the design of the case. So far no problems.

15 years ago salt water would destroy a cellphone. My iPhone is water tight enough that I’m not the least bit afraid to use it out on the salt, and rinse it under the tap when I get in. I put C-maps on it download the area I’m in. Put it in airplane mode so the battery lasts. On land I use...

The reliance on gps devices is making paper maps more difficult to obtain. I have old ones of most places I need to go, they don’t show new roads, but at least I can see where the lines get really close together and plan my route accordingly. Hard to see that on a map just a little bigger than...

Rained at White pass today. Pretty thin but still some good skiing.

I would like to know who has the best user interface/most intuitive software. My experience with Garmin is that they may have the worst software engineers on the planet. I want a simple device that does what I want, without a crapload of useless features in the way of using what I want.

Your writing is getting better, keep working at it, the brain is an amazing organ.

Not to mention the sticklebacks introduced by some live bait slinger. I have been in the little D where I couldn’t even see the bottom through all the sticklebacks.

The big D in Oregon doesn’t allow fishing from a boat, not to bar people from fishing but to allow a certain portion of the fish to be untouchable by way of making them hard to access. It is much easier to dredge the bottom with spinning gear than fly gear, so from that perspective it seems not...

That will catch fish

I'm doing PT with one of those smart young people, and I brought up my perception of the evils of AI. He said he used it all the time, to help with writing and research. I asked if he thought it could help me condense the building codes for the shop I want to build, and he said that is the...

I hope they get it together too. the recent stuff they have been offering is tempting, and I like the rods I have. I drew a line in the sand and I contacted them and told them they would get no more of my cash until I had received everything I have already paid for. I'm still lacking two...

The map program that comes on an apple phone works just fine. I will not personally allow any google software on my phone because of the level of tracking they do seems an invasion of privacy. As to the scammers, about ten years ago we switched from Verizon to tmobile and close to 100% of the...
