I have a ground nest of yellow jackets in my garden. Looks like they took advantage of a mole hill and dug in. I have sprayed 2x w Spectracide (yellow jacket specific foam) but it does not look like it made much difference. Still lots of YJ buzzing around it...

Soy lattes are so last decade! Oat milk is the bomb now. Olympia has both and lots of other cool shit!! :)

@Pink Squirrel thanks for sharing this great information!

Am planning an Idaho trip in mid September. Part of it will include camping along the Lochsa. I have not driven through that spectacular area in a long time. I have scoped out the maps and understand that there are a few forest service campgrounds along the river. Anyone have any specific...

I stop watering by this point if I want tomatoes to ripen. I know this sounds dramatic but I learned this from a friend who has planted/sold plants in the NW for decades. Currently, I have stopped watering in one bed and will keep some water on the other one. For me, this produces a LOT of...

Been getting same day picked corn at Rutledge farm in Oly. It is a stunningly good tri color sweet corn. I did read about all the nuances of cooking just off boil, etc. I did my ole tried and true 4 - 6 min in salted boiling water. It is so good at this time of year, I doubt that I would...

Thanks @Mike Cline. I had planned to use this on my 7 wt Scott Tidal but I also have a Sage 6 X that might be a better pairing. Great info on the Amnesia configuration!

Looks like the SA Sink 30 Cold has been discontinued. I found one on ebay tho (older packaging). Hope this is the correct one. I am good with the discount too! Thank you all for your helpful replies.

I will be stripping mostly unweighted large flies in medium sized rivers. Rarely over 50 foot casts if this helps narrow it down. Thanks y'all for the great information! (y)

I am in search of a 7 wt sink tip line. Planned use is fishing in med to large rivers with streamers for trout. I'm trying to get some larger flies down deep in runs and pools. I fish a Scott Tidal w Lamson Lightspeed if that matters. Looking to our brain trust for recommendations. Thank you!

My nice seafood shop had Baker River Sockeye yesterday for 20 bucks a pound. It looked pretty good tho I opted for the Silver from the coast. First time I have seen it for sale around S Sound. Is Baker River a commercial fishery for one of the tribes?

See a well qualified sports med doc, since this has been going on so long they may recommend an injection in to the joint. I had this same issue and eventually after months I got the injection (steroid, I think). My elbow and whole body felt great for a few months. Not that everyone can do...

@Brute - you nailed it on a couple of Oly's finest restaurants. I live here and for me Oly is a bit of a restaurant desert - there are lots of places but few that stand out (imo). I wish that we had more good ethnic places. btw - did you eat all of that pig belly that adorns the clam...

Are you all referring to a boat or wading on the Cowlitz? If wading, I am curious how the access is? I will get out there and scout on my own, just looking for general guidance on availability of wading access. Thank you.

Perfect timing, I will take you up on this. DM sent. Thanks.

As a single woman living alone, DO NOT EVER open the door unless you are absolutely sure who it is, especially at night. Get a camera or have the neighbor install a door viewing hole at your level. If your landlord is that old and irresponsible for upkeep, they will never notice. Creepy...

I have raised 4 Goldens and dealt with some allergy issues. I am a bit skeptical of the diagnosis as well. If handsome Hanzo is better then perhaps it is not a food allergy? Keep a close eye on him. If you want to try switching foods maybe try another protein from Royal Canin since you have...

Cringe time for fish, with Billy back at it! Strong work! (y) Curious if the craw shells turn blueish after being out of the water or have you seen live ones of that color?

Well done!

Recommend a Trout Unlimited youth membership, I think it is 14 bucks and offers tons of learning and mentoring opportunities. https://crm.tu.org/eweb/SnapFormsDonations.aspx?instance=youth-all&tu_source=WACQHP&marketing_source=&marketing_campaign=
