Cape Blanco State Park is nice https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=44 Power water and showers if that's your thing. Easy walking access to miles of beach. About a 2 mile walk down the beach to the mouth of the Elk River.

Leo Rivas pitching makes sense. He's a smaller target and less likely to get drilled by a come-backer.

Didn't see the game. Some semi random thoughts about the M's: Box scores showed Donnavan hit 3 RBI singles and only 1 LOB last night.. that's not Mariners baseball is it? Doesn't he know it's HR or strike/pop/ground out in runners on base/RISP situations? Cole Young has been a stud all year...

Was watching the M's game with my son. Got bored and frustrated at the bottom of the 8th and walked out of the room. When the game was over my son found me and said, "the M's walked off a win". My response was, "that's impossible, there are no self goals in baseball". After seeing the replay I'd...

M's season isn't over, but you can see the end from here. Help is on the way when folks get off the IL. Brash and Vargas are much needed in the 'pen. Donnavan could give the bats a lift although another left-hitting infielder isn't exactly a need for this team. Here's a recipe for a post...

Gonna stick with the swinger that I have (don't take that one out of context!) There's a number of manufacturers of hardware out there. I'll probably pick one out based on reviews or recommendations and call their sales line to get the features I want.

Looking to do my own install of a solar powered automatic driveway gate opener. I already have an existing 12' chain' link gate that swings well. Curious if anyone has a recommendation for the brand and if anyone has done this. thx

I was going to use some aluminum angle... then I saw the price of aluminum and all bar stock; yikes!! I cut a small dado right down the center of the board to keep the EMT from rolling while I drilled and screwed it down.

Pretty sure the salmon race is legit. It takes a lot of dedication to dress up like that in public and run in one of those costumes. On the other hand I'm not so sure about the MLB. With that computerized fangled ball-n-strike thingy there are people using computers that could put the ball just...

April games count but they don't matter.

Finally got this done. I built the new bunks from doug fir framing material that I found at Home Despot.. not tight grain, but knot free vertical grain and less than 10$ a stick. One of the problems with my trailer is that there are only 2 mounting points on the bunks with 6ft between them. The...

Waaaaayyyyy more often than not the only music I want to hear when I'm fishing is my or my buddy's click and pawl reel singing.

Good series with the M's and Cleveland. Delauter is turning heads; Kwan and Ramirez just wearing pitchers out. I only got to watch the 2 games the M's lost because... not sure, it's the newfangled TV. Slow start for Julio as per usual, but his swing looks better than the start of last year and...

As I understand it, the cases that have been ruled against Meta and Google are not considered to be encroaching on 230. They're focusing on testimony and documents showing that Meta (and apparently Google too) knew their product was harmful, particularly to children, and chose not to do anything...

Let's play ball. Go M's

The jury decided in favor of the plaintiff: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/jury-reaches-verdict-meta-google-trial-social-media-addiction-2026-03-25/ The fines are a drop in the bucket for Google and Meta. Still this sets precedent for the thousands of other cases on the books around...

Walkering...? Seems like the right move. Be interesting to see if the stars aligned in that SB appearance or if he can sustain that kind of performance over a season or two for his next gig. Sad that RB's aren't as vaunted as they used to be.

One of many articles on the topic: https://abc7.com/post/los-angeles-social-media-addiction-trial-plaintiff-identified-kgm-describes-emotional-toll-instagram-youtube-use/18655468/ This is one of many cases right now...

I hear you, ever fish the Fall river. No coincidence that it's name has 4 letters. But, are poetry and cussing purely disjunctive? I've heard some people weave obscenties into form, rythm and meter that at times rival the bard.

Cool responses. Just ordered a paperback copy from https://www.thriftbooks.com/. $10 and free shipping on orders of $25 or more so I tacked on another book.
