    Not a lot of Seattle fans in Kansas city tonight based off the tepid applause for Cal's last HR.

    .. agreed, so much positives with him. He's a backstop at first base. Combined with Crawford's range and the canons of Suarez and Williamson at the hot corner having him will shave down base hits... pitchers will love it as well as fans. I specifically think Crawford gets to balls that most...

    M's seem to have righted the ship before falling off the face of the earth. This is shaping up to be a really exciting Sep. in the AL. I'm an M's fan first, but after that any of the current contenders less the pinstripes and that team from Houston.

    The 2025 NFL Season Discussion

    On a related topic, it'll be interesting to see how the officials follow through with the new lower bar for taunting. I don't necessarily disagree with the intent, but it seems like it can be a really subjective call to make with a stiff penalty that will extend or kill drives.

    Wow, Micah Parsons was traded to Green Bay? How come this wasn't blasted and run into the ground on sports talk radio and TV for the last 2 weeks?

    There's 'in to it' and then again there's "IN TO IT"

    Categorization can be tough. For instance Should Bronze Mallard go in the box labelled 'spey fly materials', or one titled 'Feathers: Mallard, partridge, pheasant'. Thinking it through, the problem is mixing classes of categories: type of material vs. type of fly material is used for. But my...

    At the risk of sounding like sour grapes. The M's slump isn't just about them not playing well. They seem to be hitting sub .500 teams when they're bio-rythm is peaking. To wit; the Rays came off of a sweep and are just hitting the sh*t out of M's pitching.. water balloon base hits in the gaps...

    There's 'in to it' and then again there's "IN TO IT"

    With that much stuff, the numbers actually make sense to me. Can't imagine scanning through labels on what, 100 boxes when I need to find something. The index is probably a spreadsheet or db that's cross-referenced, index to contents and contents to index. I don't think my blue painters tape...

    So did I. 4 runs in the first for the M's then bumpkus for the next 8. Cleveland was relentless and Munoz was not particularly sharp tonight.

    got the trigger finger

    The orthopedist I saw looked at my hand, took an x-ray and said, "we treat that with surgery" while showing me a few pictures that he looked up on Google. I figured what he really meant to say was "I'm going to make the balloon payment on my 7 series BMW with this"

    got the trigger finger

    While waiting for the last few weeks to hear back from the orthopedist with a cortisone shot appointment, I decided to try some self-care things that my GP recommended. Splinting at night, passive stretching exercises and graston technique (using a serving spoon from my kitchen) have resulted in...

    Sage rods repair turnaround time

    I was particularly impressed that they fixed it for me even though I bought the rod used. I love the X taper and would buy a few more of them, but I'm afraid I'll sort of get 'kicked off the island' for support within my and the rods lifetime. I hope you get a good or at least reasonable...

    SFR I hope this is the end of it!

    If you're talking about the mini splits I agree. I installed my own on an outbuilding on my property. You need to know how to safely add a dedicated circuit for it or hire an electrician. Beyond that it's just a bit of layout and the confidence to drill a 3.5in hole through an exterior wall. The...

    1 or 2 rods for walk-n-wade trips

    WRT steelheading; I fished the NU today with my 7130;short-belly and ~14' of mono leader. I was quite content not having another rig with me. Winter is where I might start thinking about having a full float/mono setup and something with a 15' of S3. I suspect that I'm moving towards having just...

    SFR I hope this is the end of it!

    We hit 100 today in North Roseburg; probably done that about a half dozen times this summer. Seems like we have a week of 80's to low 90's followed by a week of 90's to near triple digits. Pretty muggy today so ti will probably stay warm tonight.

    1 or 2 rods for walk-n-wade trips

    I find myself doing both depending on how I feel and how I want to fish on any given trip. There are pros and cons for each. 2 rods allow you to have 2 different setups at the ready. But you have to leave one at the top of a run while you fish through with the other, then backtrack to the...

    And now a question about transom savers

    I'm considering a transom saver type device for my 16'9 RH Boats hull and 60hp Merc. Did some some searches on the net; folks are all over the place on the topic. Found this article helpful and balanced. I think I'm going with a wedge like this
