    Fly fishing bobbers that stay put?

    I fish dry flies or dry/droppers most of the time but when I do use an indicator (or bobber) I use the Dorsey system that is simply a poly yarn through a loop created by one of the tiny rubber band’s orthodontists use for braces. I do not have trouble with it moving/sliding, probably because...

    The more sophisticated telephones have become, the more difficult it has become to reach people via the telephone.

    Iowa/LSU Women’s BBall tonite

    NDSU women had a really good season this year, eventually losing to Minnesota in the NIT. Their best player was a 6’3” guard from Minnesota who shot about 50% from beyond the three point line. After their season ending loss I heard her talk about how the team was like, “family” and how much she...

    Iowa/LSU Women’s BBall tonite

    Iowa, or anyone else for that matter, could not contend with the size of South Carolina. Add to that the 3 point shooting they (SC) got today, and they’re not going to lose.

    Iowa/LSU Women’s BBall tonite

    I stopped watching NBA basketball a long time ago because of what I perceive to be a lack of effort, particularly on defense. If you doubt that, watch ESPN’s Sports Center some time when they show clips of a few college men’s games, immediately followed by clips of NBA games. If you are old...

    What age to be a millionaire?

    And an inordinately high percentage of them are broke in 5 - 10 years. Sad really!

    What age to be a millionaire?

    My wife and I have nice pensions plus social security and, because our homes have appreciated so much, I guess we qualify ($1 M net worth). But I don’t know how young people with families today make ends meet. I often tag along to the grocery store and the cost of groceries is staggering...

    Are we really fighting Dataism?

    I am a fly fisherman. I know people whose only interest in fly fishing is to have their picture taken while pretending to fly fish.

    First deer and later, my largest buck ever with my dad’s 25-20 Winchester, open sites.

    Wow

    Yes, baseball contracts are guaranteed and Major League Baseball has no salary cap. Although they do have a luxury tax.

    22 acre lot near Bozeman

    Our Bozeman property taxes increased 29% this year. There is a group of yellow t-shirt wearing (mostly) youth who attend every city council meetings who are elated about the increase. And they, or at least their leaders, although they all announce themselves as leaders, are no dummies. They’ve...

    When to declare MT residency in transition from owning a home in another state and in MT?

    I don’t know about Montana but some states, like Minnesota, are very aggressive about this issue. In fact they (Minnesota) have enforcement staff whose entire job is to investigate these exact issues, typically between North & South Dakota and Minnesota. I suppose because of the considerable...

    When you realize you're not cool anymore . . .

    I watched our state High School Volleyball tournament on TV this weekend. The winning team, West Fargo Sheyenne, had an assistant coach who wore the same pair of tattered blue jeans all three nights. Why/how do I think they were the same pair? Because the jeans had a hole in each knee large...

    Ken Burns Documentary, The American Buffalo

    Finished watching the, American Buffalo documentary last night. If you’ve not yet watched it (PBS) you may enjoy it. It will leave you asking how people, and our government in particular could have been so stupid and cruel.

    My first new vehicle

    I usually trade pickups at about 75K miles. My 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 has 71K now so I’ve been thinking about trading around the first of the year. Maybe to the 3/4 ton Sierra 2500, which now has a 6.6 liter gas engine available (as well as the diesel). The one thing I’m concerned about which I...

    Madison river float question

    The otter attacks were on the Jefferson River. I saw the pictures of the victims wounds and they were brutal. Happened toward evening in water deep enough that the ladies could not stand up in their tubes to defend themselves. They (otters) likely had young nearby.

    Madison river float question

    As previously stated, the lower Madison from Warm Springs to Blacks Ford is best suited for kids. Too warm right now to fish though. Kids should wear life jackets. I fished the upper Madison last week. Moving pretty fast for kids.
