    Got Yelled At

    Of course the founding fathers were boycotting Albertsons, and didn't have a clue about the plains, the rockies, or the Pacific coast, let alone the acres and acres of cul de sacs filled with people and automobiles. They were all dead when people had messed things up enough that the Government...

    Edge Fly Rods mini review

    I ordered an eight weight during the Fourth of July sale they had and received it in about two weeks. Beautiful rod. Got the letter saying a tube was forthcoming, have not seen it yet, and would have bought the rod at that price without a tube frankly, but I will wait patiently, I have other...

    Merrill Lake closure

    Yes there is recent logging down to maybe 100' of the main road above the lake. The instability is obvious, but I would take the risk of venturing down there anytime it hasn't been raining a prestigious amount. I guess park at the top and walk, or use the trail... walking down the road to the...

    If the beer was good maybe ……

    Coors and sex in a canoe are about the same.... F'ing close to water. Good for drowning campfires!

    Snaring Crab

    I used to do that long ago from the jetties down on the Oregon coast. We had quite a bit of action, although most crabs had to go back. It was quite enjoyable. I wonder how it would be from the jetty or the riprap by the Kingston ferry?

    Merrill Lake closure

    I talked to somebody (DNR) up there a week ago, and they were just unloading some equipment. They said about three weeks. The trail is still there, marked with a sign to remind us to display a discover pass.

    Nooksack river closed all summer... who knows the story behind this?

    One thing to keep in mind, is the forest floor in an older forest becomes like a sponge that can hold a lot of water. Composed of decaying matter mostly from the trees, it gets more effective at holding water as the forest ages. While the snow may melt, it can be held and released more slowly...

    Nooksack river closed all summer... who knows the story behind this?

    If the problem is low water and high temperatures impacting the stress levels of the fishery in the summer, why is no one talking to forest managers in this and other drainages? Commercial foresters are driving the years of growth between harvest down to a shorter cycle which translates to a...

    Cold weather coming this week, get those hose bibs covered...

    I'm 66. It's been a shitshow most of the snowstorms I've seen. Not because they don't "know how to drive in it", like a lot of folks from colder climes claim, but because of the preparedness of the drivers (tires) and the fact that snow and ice close to their melting point is at it's slickest...

    NFR What Are You Reading

    I'm about halfway through The Wager by David Grann. Well written and researched story of a shipwreck and mutiny in the 1700's while Britain was warring with Spain.

    Cold weather coming this week, get those hose bibs covered...

    You guys in Montana and the like probably don't have to contend with the people limping around with nearly bald tires who can't seem to understand they should not take a vehicle equipped in such a way out on the roads with nearly molten h2o. We have reason to be afraid when the snow comes. Of...

    NFR Anybody want to shoot some owls....

    There is no way in my opinion that these owls are going to put back where they belong. That goes for most of these invasive. We got lucky on the murder hornets. Once there are widespread reproducing pairs, we might as well get used to the fact that they are part of the new ecosystem.

    Butchering your own animal

    I always wash the meat off with a water vinegar solution. I don't want dirt on my food. Never had a problem with it. We always do it as soon as we get it home or wherever we can hang it up.

    Butchering your own animal

    I would only hang it until the rigor mortise starts to recede. Shove your thumb into the hindquarter every day, and when it softens up a bit it's time. The best venison burger I ever had was mixed with beef plate for the fat which is basically the belly of the cow.... think beef bacon. I do...

    NFR Rivian R1T Driven Yesterday

    I don't, but we have had a Tesla model y for about three months now, and I can say that the cheapest charging I have found are at the superchargers, and the cheapest of them are at Tesla dealerships. Some of the cost is due to the cost of electricity in the area. I live in Cowlitz county and...

    NFR Rivian R1T Driven Yesterday

    That's for people who are clogging up the chargers charging their vehicles at over 90%, which slows the rate way down. I think it is a great thing for people who want to use an ev, to kick people like that off the charging infrastructure. It gets really congested in the Seattle area, the cars...
