Yup, same thing, except all the good guys died a long time ago and left the bad guys to duke it out over what's left.

I don't hold Echo to the same standard as Sage. I remember standing in Kauffman's being told precisely that they would replace it even IF you slammed your car door on it. And it was at the time the most expensive piece of laminate I had ever seen. Someone must have done some form of math and...

All of my rods, save one are made in USA. I like most of them, including a DS 5wt I forgot I had. I have a close friend that had a nice sp 5wt that he broke, and having been assured that he was buying a rod with and UNCONDITIONAL warranty, he did get his rod fixed, and it was free, but it came...

I have never owned a sage, but I have witnessed the company go from taking very very good care of their customers to where they are now. It's hard for me to comprehend how they could be losing their ass at the prices they sell their stuff for. If I buy a snap on tool, at four or five times the...

Ours haven't gone down... My wife overuses the cruise in her Outback, and the thing eats brakes, for all kinds of moves where just getting off the accelerator would suffice. In a decade or so this stuff might be good enough that I will use it, not yet there, IMO.

The 20,000 dollars you spent for the gadgets you aren't using. I totally agree though, there are some really useful things in these newfangled machines.

Never tried those but I like the look of them. I wonder if you can get away with bending those finger holes for a custom fit?

Maybe it's about to start spouting fracking water. The geologists aren't concerned yet. There was a lot more going on in 1980.

Making light of others problems is kinda uncool, but I will say that if it were not for these eruptions there would be no place to build homes and businesses in the mid pacific. Blessing and a curse, but mostly blessing.

If a St Helens type eruption were to take place, I would be nervous about living in Trout Lake. The amount of sand that came out of St. H. might make Bonneville dam a sediment fixture.

My wife is a quilter, Mom was too. We have at least twenty worn out pairs of scissors around here, but I have a pair of gingher dressmakers shears that belonged to my Mom that are probably 50 years old and still work fine. The problem I have always found though is the scissors sold for sewing...

When will they make a gadget to turn your cellphone off if you touch it while the vehicle is in motion? I looked at the f150 a couple days ago, jam packed with crap I don't need to get the options I want. Give me a powerful and efficient motor and transmission, a music maker with an on/off...

I recently watched a video of a charteboat captain in AK who routinely toasts the end of the line after tying with a lighter to make a bit of a ball on the end so it can't slip through. Seems like a good practice, for knots tied at home, out of the wind.

I dove off the coast of California where there was a healthy population of sea otters, they were curious and accompanied us quite a bit of the time we were there. The area was incredibly heathy, all kinds of life. No parking lot scenario. I also got an invite to go gather pinto abalone with...

In natural ecosystems, if a predator diminishes its food source overly then it's population suffers starvation and loss of numbers until the system begins to correct itself. I'm sure the scenario you describe is somewhat true, but making a villain out of a species that was here doing it's...

More info on that story. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/03/210308152458.htm The nutritionally beneficial urchins, according to this article are in the remaining kelp forests, where the urchins can get enough to eat to produce the roe as you call it, gonads as they call it. So in...

So when the sun stars are wiped out by some mysterious disease and the urchin population explodes and wipes out the kelp beds, I think then the value of sea otters becomes obvious. Every creature has its place, and man has continually showed that he knows less than he thinks he does about...

I believe that Lamson changed the design of this reel (Liquid) recently, and the new spools don't fit the old.... so if you think you could need more spools than what comes with, make sure you are getting the newer one.

Nice photos, huge beasts, I want to know where, when, how were the bugs, and on and on.....

One good thing... my neighbors silky terrier's expected lifespan will increase.
