I’ve only gotten to fish with him once, but Matt’s a good guy

Ye olde meat and two veg.

It was as lights out as I’ve seen it over there. The egg hatch has definitely turned on after a late start. Gotta admit, best part was beating that guide/instructor to the riffle that he blocks all morning, and then pulling a couple out while they walked past This guy reminded me that it’s...

You guys obviously have a great local station for new music in KEXP. I listen to the Current out of Minneapolis for a lot of that too. If you want to connect with folks who are passionate about 80s and 90s new wave and post punk, djs Jake Rudh and Synthia do weekly shows on Twitch with music...

How can you tell if a bluegrass stage is level? The banjo player drools evenly out of both sides of his mouth. Speaking of banjo

I've lost my youthful idealism

We have a pretty intensive "immersive phishing program" at work, where they regularly send sketchy emails to us. I'm fully paranoid about any even slightly sketchy email/text/call now. I wonder if you can sign up for a program like this individually.

The Portland Fly Shop has a good selection. If you're ok with mail order, I'd look at the Deschute Angler or Red's. They run trips and I know Red's at least will put together a fly selection for you.

You did a great job on that ARE. I have the same rod, built by them, and it's surprisingly good.

I know. Sounds like work to me

I'd prefer year round daylight savings - it kills me to have the sun go down so early in the winter.

Beautiful country. I'm ready to do another float on the GR. Just wish the fishing was better.

Chipped in

the pipes for built-in vacuum cleaners are much lighter than the ABS or PVC pipe at HD. If you really want to go ham, scratch up the tube with a rasp. Really gouge it, then sand it down. hit it with wood stain, and you can get a cool wood grain finish. I did it once, and it was way more...

I use two of the tall laundry baskets in my closet. If they didn’t come with a tube, I just use a cardboard mailing tube with a label attached.

Am I being detained? I do not make Joinder

Adding to the low tech, I keep it in the shade and drape a wet towel over it for some evaporative cooling. I tried dry ice once on a 90 degree grand ronde trip. Thought I was clever but it froze everything.

I shove it in a toilet paper tube to contain it on the scale I have some rods that don’t like the lines that they’re supposed to, so I’ve tested matchups. The trick is to write it down somewhere so you don’t have to do it at the start of each season.

It's like the elephant's graveyard back there.
