    NFR What Are You Drinking?

    I've really come around on CdP. For a long time, my Rhone focus was very limited to Guigal Cote Rotie, especially the single vineyards in the rare times my wallet and the vintage lined up. But over the last few years, we have shifted to the southern Rhones, probably driven by food choices...

    Same spot I always shoot on my drive back and forth to the coast. Took the time to use my actual camera this time instead of the cellphone. 30sec exposure.

    Personal Health?

    Bad arthritis from not having a functional PCL in my right knee (college soccer injury) means that biking is really the only place I can push my limits these days at 60. Still do all the other stuff, just can't go all out like I once did. Like Coach, I try to go 7 days, alternating biking...

    NFR What Are You Drinking?

    For some reason, I never noticed this thread. Just went through the whole thing and made some notes for future investigation... I'm not much for spirits except in sweet fruity drinks while on vacation somewhere hot, but I am prone to choose my food to match wine instead of vice versa. This was...

    Rain

    Had the same thing in Beaver/Forks while springer fishing yesterday. Misty with occasional showers and high 50's. Pretty ideal weather for springer fishing given the low water. Also appreciated not having to drag hoses around to water stuff later in the day given the 3:30AM wake-up call. Token...

    New shirts and stuff

    Living here 30 years now and still never fished for pinks but I had to buy the Humpy shirt just because it is so right for so many reasons. Well done on all the gear.

    Cell Phone Pics

    Love this photo. While color, it still evokes the same feeling of my all-time favorite photographer, Josef Sudek's Magic Garden series.

    Rain

    Pretty good dumping in the Lake Desire/Maple Valley area. Headed to Beaver tomorrow, hope we get some there, otherwise I'll be dragging 300' of hoses to deal with the rhodie collection.

    What Are You Eating?

    Love it! If I did that more often, my wife might decide to come. Waitnevermind... ;) Does remind me of a day a few years back (Queets, I think).

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Follow-up... I've had the Taos about a month now. Loving it so far. Several 5+ hour rides, mixed road and gravel and the fit and comfort are spot on. The bike geometry nerds looking at the photo below will notice the very slack geo, short stem and low BB. It's not quite a hardtail MTB with drop...

    Cell Phone Pics

    100% Next month, we're heading out on a two week glamping road trip with most of the time in CO gravel biking and hiking (taking along a 5wt just in case). I upgraded my old boots with a pair of Hoka Kaha 3's where the pair feels lighter than one of my old leather boots.

    What camera are you using?

    Yes. I had both a 6 and a 7. Loved them both. Still around but super pricy on the secondary market. Really loved it with Fomapan 400 processed in Rodinal for street and other on the fly stuff.

    What camera are you using?

    100% I was hiking in the desert last weekend and came up on some bird photographers with what looked like a 400/2.8. Looked heavy as hell. I'd love to have some longer legs in my rig but no way I'm lugging one of those things around in the desert/mountains even if cost wasn't the concrete...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    I've been down in Tucson for several weeks visiting family and riding my bike most days. The riding down here is sooo good. Road, gravel, mountain are all great. Tons of nice, flowy 'green' XC trails that aren't full of roots and babyheads like back home. Super fun on my current gravel bike...
