If you haven’t, you have to catch Mesenbrink v David Carr at the WTT final. The kid is from a different planet.

Nothing but clouds and rain the past 4 days. Haven’t been able to do a darned thing outside, but the grass is back to green.

My son just bought a used diesel. The issue he wasn’t aware of is that it’s intended to run hot which means highway driving. That’s fine since he hits the highway 5 days a week going to work. It’s on the weekends when he does mostly local driving taking the kids to their games, the store, etc. It has a computer that will kick on to burn off…[Read more]

There’s nothing exotic to hunt out here. When traveling in Chicago I used to go to a restaurant, The Wild Game Room. It served meat that you ordinary can’t get, anywhere. The best was antelope. I thought it would be like venison but wasn’t even close. It had its own unique flavor which I can’t describe. They served rattlesnake, grizzly,…[Read more]

I haven’t hunted deer just birds, mainly pheasant. No’1 son hunts, got his first black bear last season, 350+ lbs. Filed dressed it, then had it butchered for half the meat. It filled his freezer so he gave a bunch away. Tried it, didn’t like it. I think venison is best as a stew, Then had the fur cut into a vest and mittens for the kids. Now…[Read more]

Deer are just big rats, though they look better. We’ve tried all kinds of deer resistant shrubs and flowers and they still eat them. They ignore the repellant. Before we moved here, the town we lived in held an annual deer hunt. There were daily collisions between deer and cars. Permits were issued for specified lots and days. With state…[Read more]

You’re welcome. Thew Georgetown area has the best food. Downtown is very commercial, not much special about it. I wasn’t aware the black history museum served food. I’ll have to try it next time I’m there. DC has the best subway system.

Was SCOTUSN in session when you were there? I know you can get in to observe, but I don’t know if you need…[Read more]

78 became 87on Saturday.

Happy Easter, No.2 son hosted brunch our family as well as his wife’s family. Great day at 75, kept the kids outside, all 18 of them.

Finally, 78F tomorrow.

I hate having to replace roofing. No one ever tells you yo0u have a beautiful roof and they are not cheap to replace. That was one of first things we had done here. Sections had 3 layers which was totally unexpected. Fortunately, the sub roof was in good shape. They replace a single 34″x24″ area. Most of it is 3/4″ tongue and groove pine…[Read more]

Out here the cod and ling like really cold water so the best time to catch them is in winter when they move closer to shore. In
summer they’ll be at the 300 foot depth and it takes forever to bring them up. They pool up off Massachusetts, Cape Cod, of course.

I’ve had days like that. Catch everything but what you went for. Interesting, we have ling and cod out here, but no lingcod. All 3 are different fish, though the lingcod has a dorsal fin somewhat similar to the ling. Cod are one best eating fished in the ocean. Not ling, fatty and oily. I always throw them back. Both ling and cod are…[Read more]

4 days of PNW weather over here. On and off rain, fog and low 40 temps. Not a hint of sunshine.

I agree with you on the 6th Covid year, bad idea all around; however, I would have favored giving the seniors that missed their final NCAA tournament an added year, but nooooo those seniors were specifically excluded from the added year.

I’m with you, fish off the rocks. I still freeze in wet suit and it doesn’t have to be winter runoff.

I was surprised Hendrickson got the Hodge. I thought Starocci would get the award given his 5 titles, but Hendrickson had more pins, and that huger upset of Steveson.

Crazy weather day. 60n overnight then a high of 82 at 3 PM, dropped to 70 by 6:30 pm, not unexpected. At 6:45 we were down to 54as the wind from the north blew in. 7:15 it was 45. From a T and shorts to sweatshirt and sweatpants.

I never had the chance. I tear my ACL second as a freshman in HS. They didn’t have the surgical technique the have today. I still have a 7″ scar where they went in and cleaned me up. The knee was never the same and the docs advised I quit the sport. My knee still gives me a weather report for rain in the forecast. Aches like heck just prior…[Read more]

yeah, Gable totally underestimated Hendrickson’s improvement I sense he was a bit gassed in those final seconds. I’ve never seen anyone hold him down like Hendrickson did. I don’t think Steveson wants his career to end like it did at the NCAA and expect he’ll be on the mat in Las Vegas. Parris will be there so that will make for an interesting…[Read more]

I presume you’ve watched Hendrickson take out Steveson by now. If not, it’s worth the time. Hendrickson was on top of his game. Steveson looked like he expected to win easily.

NCAA weekend. Wifey not happy, too much wrestling on the tube. We go through this every year. Sunday will be back to normal.
