    Stuff in the Sky

    This is an unintentional eclipse shot. My am propranolol wore off and I wasn't using a tripod and was shooting in "night mode" which must stack images to build a composite. My tremor just messed the algorithm way up. Either that or the moon is in fact a giant lathed spindly thing

    What are you listening to?

    Love Jolene, probably my favorite also, this version is great too. Jack White sounding unhinged with some big Meg drums, when you hear it you think Jolene stealing Jack White's man is probably a good thing cos Jack has some crazy going on. Meaning maybe Jack never even had this man, but instead...

    OFFICIAL 2026 NFL SEASON DISCUSSION

    Curtailing public access to land, beach, river is a classic dick move. (It's one of many reasons why England sucks.)

    Puget Sound

    @Stonedfish check this out, Zak nailed a flounder, easy peasy, on a spin rod. Maybe down shift from hallucinating all things shark and focus on the flatfish... (seriously though if there are big sharks in Puget Sound displaying aggresive topwater behavior, that open water swimmer might want to...

    Always loved this song, probably my favorite Dylan song, by far, always sounded more like poetry than song to me, killer stripped down cover...

    2026 Gardening Growing Thread

    Not exactly veggies and such but found a really cool hollow trunk driftwood piece. This wood is burled-up in a way that sanding the burl into stunning probably wouldn't work. So I was wondering what to do with it, washed it out a few times with fresh water over a few months to get the salt out...

    Navigable River Designations in Oregon

    That's a horrible story and the injustice of how it ends is a tough read. Hope Cole is doing alright these days...

    NFR Data Centers near you?

    I did forget... The McCrary boys, Billy and Benny.... doing my research now.... using the power and resources of AI as the overlords intended, searching outcomes with.... "what happened to..." and this AI stumper: "who are the fattest twins alive that ride motorcycles?" and the obvious follow up...

    That sounds like the perfect age the Guinness Book Of World Records targets Friend and I were talking about this the other day, the only Guinness records that seem to have stuck in out 56/57 year old brains were A- tall guy B- siamese twins C- the guy with the really long curved...

    NFR Data Centers near you?

    Rob that's always going to be true-ish, and framing it that way helps win arguments with similar peers, on the other hand dichotomies are often not super helpful, there's shades of gray, and without structuring decisions based on proportion and probability we are condemned to mediocrity. If...

    We Got These Rabid Beavers Comin

    Brian, Police had the whole of Aurora blocked off around Krispy Kreme on Sunday morning, multiple cop cars. So undoubtedly rabid beavers and glazed donuts were involved

    Coffee talk

    Happened to be in Ballard this past week during a weekday. Had some time to kill. So I went to look for some good coffee in the brick old part of town. I managed to find the most precious of coffee shops, ordered a pour over and waited with a little buzzer thing that went off when it was ready...

    Great Garage sale scores

    Nah- they are synonyms, you can google wooden spool and wooden bobbin and you get the same, probably a more archaic english use of bobbin. (In some ways the fly tyer's bobbin is a weirder provenance than the bobbin itself.) The fruit cake tin is from Dundee so I'm thinking a Scots G'ma. Matt...

    Great Garage sale scores

    Got a fruitcake tin full of Gramma's old threads in a variety of colors for like $5. I've used these to tie >15+ years now. I think maybe one fancy spool for tying that I got from a Flyshop cost more than that entire haul. That shop-purchased thread, when I used it, has yet to catch me a fish...
