    El Nino is definitely on its way

    Well looks like Cali, utah, colorado should have greater than 100% snowpak. I'm gearing up for a fantastic season spending lots of time on the bike for cardio and getting new tires for my truck.

    NFR Ford 10R80 Transmission

    If you need a rebuild....There are guys in your area who can do this less than and probably better than the dealership but check warranties. A dealer might give you a better one. I'm in SoCal and these guys have been very reliable by online reviews and I used them myself on my diesel truck...

    NFR F150 & Ecoboost

    Here is a reasonable economical way to look at 2 separate but related issues. The 5k synthetic oil change. Use what the manufacturer says to use. If conventional oil is needed you can upgrade to syn at your wallets expense. There are good reasons to use syn but the average ownership period...

    Up at the crack: fishing day breakfasts?

    I consume too many calories as it is. So on AM fishing days I skip breakfast leave the house with just water and a granola bar goes with, but only eaten if I'm starving. The better fishing is, and harder I fish, the less I think about food.

    Sand in wading boots

    I wonder what the relationship is of boot volume to stocking foot? We can buy shoes with precise fit for all kinds of sports yet stocking feet in waders are all over the place like for size 8-10 feet. No one would buy a shoe that is for size 8-10. WE also buy boots often 1 size up to allow...

    Simms Disappointment

    Very few things aren't made in china even with brand names like simms or north face stuck on there. The brand name can up the quality with the chinese if they want. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Amazon and costco are brutal on their suppliers because they have so much...

    Skagit, or sorta' Skagit head

    I hated mono at first then got SA flat mono then that ridiculously expensive Hazumi mono that was a game changer. It just does not tangle even as much as coated line and just feels light and comfy in hand. Protip with age hands don't work as well and using thicker mono runner not round just...

    Skagit, or sorta' Skagit head

    I'm a self taught intuitive guy. My learning conditions have always been on the river where the environment is so dynamic that the concept of casting with muscle memory, like grooving a golf stroke, is foreign to me. Question about blowing anchors with shorter head...why not just cant your...

    Skagit, or sorta' Skagit head

    I could be wrong but 450 gr is about a 7wt spey and 15ft tip seems too long that's why it won't cast. Tips should be 10 footers. You need more like 575gr 14ft 8wt rod to move a 15ft tip. A rage is a hybrid head. A skagit head will move more mass than the rage.

    SFR A decision has been made-big move coming

    3% is like free money. I would not sell but rent the house let another pay down the mortgage. Treat nurse school and an apartment there like sending your kid to college. It's a few years and goes by quick.
