1 of 1 for sure. “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” Add on: I really like Jolene, partially because of the back story: A bank teller flirting with Carl Dean. And that Dolly and Carl were in love for 60 years. But, imo her best song was probably I Will Always Love You...

Fishing the Seychelles at $15K/person is steep, especially when you consider leaving the wives in Paris for a week of shopping.

A similar story: my brother was bottom fishing with some guys at the South end of Revillagigedo Channel (near Ketchikan). Three of them caught lots of fish, one hardly any, until he did. They fought it for an hour or more taking turns, into dark thirty. When the halibut finally started coming...

Wow! That is “no shit” impressive. A day you and others will never forget. Congratulations! On the downside, you may have peaked middle age early. (It’s likely downhill from here ;-)

Ah, mawwidge. I can tell you it’s a win win proposition and you almost can’t lose. You get mawwied and that’s the happiest day of your life. Until you get divorced. Then that is the happiest day of your life. And then you repeat. Some of us have been happy happy happy happy. Just a tip from the...

Just an FYI tidbit. There was an orphan Bison (named Harvey Wallbanger) raised by a guy who later raced him, riding against Quarter horses. He won I think 71 out of 93 races. In spite of their short legs they are fast, particularly off the starting line. So there’s no outrunning one.

What was that line from the devil, when J Daly was born? “Oh shit, competition.”

Italy: while at a gas stop I wandered into a low, overgrown area, noticed the tile floor, and realized I was in a decrepit Roman bath. There’s more historical spots there than maybe anywhere. After our first Italy trip we went to Greece. Akrotiri, an ancient city on Santorini dates to around...

Pingvellir! Blew my socks off. One foot on each of two tectonic plates, and the ancient Nordic history of that specific place. Beautiful and unique country, but be prepared for weather. My girls wanted to live there. I love Italy, France, Spain, Greece and especially Ireland, but the tourists...

Tip from the top: Dogs love beef jerky. Who knew?🐾

No tats?

…. and then we had grandma’s squirrel stew. (Gotta maintain that hard ass edge ;-)

BBQ for ten, then eight on Lake Union. (Four of this crew are Children’s surgeons.)

Well I like it. I am curious how he cut it down 6” if he left all 4 pieces equal length. I don’t build rods, so maybe this is easier math than I figure. Only thing I can imagine is that he took all 6 inches off the butt, which is probably fine. So you’re “bucktailing” tuna, & sometimes casting...

BBQ here with friends & family, then on Lake Union for the fireworks.

Thanks. One of life’s lessons: spend quality time with those you love, while you can.

I watched the 1st third before I had to stop, and will finish today or tomorrow. It reminds me of a failed desire to organize a salmon (charter) trip with my father and older brother. I thought about it but then my brother got sick and never recovered. And my dad shortly after became pretty...

I read that book maybe a year ago. An amazing story about a fearless woman. Well worth the read!

With my kids, we often have 3 dogs here. The pup is a Silken Wind Hound, and he’s a cagey thief. Always aware of any food on the counter and who’s watching. I call him the Muffin Man, and yes, for that score. It was gone in a flash.
