Devon and Ben had a good idea, this is rare so I went along …
After Devon killed a can of Aqua Net on his fauxhawk we were finally on our way to meet the rest of the Wanksta crew at a local Sports Chalet. From there it was off to Ralphs for [...]

Salmon fishing can be a harsh mistress.
A couple weeks ago I hopped on a plane to beautiful Vancouver B.C. Canada with hopes of bringing home more than a couple of pounds of delicious Chinook and Coho Salmon. It didn’t quite work out as I had hoped, but more on that later.

The view from our [...]

More specifically Central Park in Boulder, Co.
Monday I spent the day in Boulder to re-visit the Pearl Street Mall (for you Los Angelenos, think 3rd street in Santa Monica minus the crowds and homeless) and see other parts of the city I hadn’t seen before.
The night before this, when I had dinner at the Buckhorn [...]

Call it a ‘tourist trap’ if you want, but they got ‘game.’
Get it?! ‘Game.’ As in game animals . . . to eat. If you’re a vegetarian you might want to turn away for this one. After Alexis waxed poetic on the possibility that she could eat a 72 ounce steak, [...]

They are simple egg flies and they came out like crap!
I’m not going to be too hard on myself since I don’t even have most of my fly tying tools yet. I didn’t use any head cement, my knots are wrong, and Kevlar thread is a bit of pain. Alas here they are:

Both [...]

Drinking, Eating, Shooting, and Sleeping in Utah
I don’t think I ever thought I’d say, or write, that, ever. Alas it happened. Before I go in to any more detail, Salt Lake City is stinky. As a matter a fact when they open the door of the plane I thought the baby on [...]

Still sorting my NAHBS 2008 photos!!!
Soooo, until I get through them all here is everthing else I did in Portland. Well, what remember in roughly the order I remember them in. My good friend Shaun picked me up from the airport Friday afternoon and we headed to my hotel.
I was staying at The [...]

One day of fun is turning in to 3, yes 3, blog posts.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, shotguns are the most fun guns EVER! Don’t get me wrong, I like handguns and rifles too, but shotguns are just so much damn fun. Birdshot, buckshot, and slugs come in many [...]

Today I turned *cough* thirty *cough* five.
After the steak dinner Amy, my sister and bro-in-law bought me, I feel too full to think about age. Tomorrow I’m taking the day off to recover and put holes in things with these:

Tomorrow Mike and I are going to do a little shotgun comparison. My Remington [...]

Fully automatic weapons were shot, yippie skippy!
Since most of the Punk Rock Bowling fun for me was happening at night I was looking for something fun to do during the day other than gambling. It didn’t take me long to remember that Las Vegas has several shooting ranges that have fully automatic weapons for [...]

I don’t know the name of the person who took the photo.
I can tell you that this photo was taken this morning at my work:

It looks like a pretty big one too!
I noticed a very large number of deer in the parking lot at work yesterday when I was leaving. A number of large [...]

Sometimes things that mystified you as a kid make perfect sense as an adult.
When I was a kid the first ‘big’ Swiss Army Knife I got was the Huntsman model. It had, two knife blades, a saw, scissors, can opener, bottle opener, awl, and a cork screw. As a kid I knew was [...]
