Ok, so I lied a little yesterday.  You start working with wood for one project, and the next thing you know you are building a cart for the smoker.  That’s what happend yesterday,  first I replaced the roof on the kennel duplex,  then just kept going.
Totally made with scrap pieces that I had already, […]

While I was up to the Bass Pro Shops store in Auburn Hills,  besides the deep fryer there was a smoker on the list to pick up.  Now,  I had a barrel type Coleman charcoal smoker already and it was nice for doing a ham, chicken, turkey, and other meal sized portions of meat.  […]

From the formerly bikini-fishing-chick posting deviants at the Getoutdoors Blog (GoBlog) comes a Salt Lake Tribune story that suggests leaving the big, heavy firearm at home might be your best bet when it comes to bear protection:
If you’re roaming bear country, your best protection against an unpleasant encounter is a can of bear spray, […]

One of the reasons I went up to Bass Pro Shops yesterday was to pick up this deep fryer for cooking fish up outside.  Its a 10.5 qt model,  and came with everything you see plus a 5″ thermoter for $29.99.  Why cook outside, less mess and smell in the house.  it was easy […]

It’s been too long since we visited with our good, good friends at multinational predator Nestle Corporation.

Then again, I doubt they’ve missed us much, being as they’ve been busy making all the "World’s Worst Corporation" lists (’#10 with a bullet), suing small towns in Maine into oblivion, trying to illegally obtain new […]

Intrepid Underground Director of Seismic Environmental Events and Wanton Thrillseeker Sully will be present at the blessed event: the breaching of Milltown Dam.
(He’ll be on the bluffs on the far side of the river from the Web camera).

I don’t know why they don’t organize these events as fundraisers; instead of tamely breaching the dam […]

Is there an uglier time of the year than early spring?  On the way north yesterday, everywhere you looked was just ugly.  Everything is brown, the trash covered by snow on the roadside was everywhere,  just a dismal time of the year.
Last night I couldn’t even see the shop from the house through the […]

My rod building project is going like a dance. I replaced the big ugly stripper guides with a pair of shiny, tiny chromed ones.

Removing guides is simple. What you need is a sharp knife, steady hand, and some acetone to clean the blank.

Does this make a better rod?

How cares, we are after the […]

On the front page of today’s USA Today there is an article about the Homeland Security Department requiring fishermen who cross over into Canadian waters to possess a passport or two other forms of ID. Not only that, but they will require them to go to a local government reporting station when they return […]

Yesterday found me staring out the window at perfect BWO weather, the precipitation evenly split between rain and snow, seemingly unwilling to commit.
Rather than continue staring, I dragged together the big pile of all the stuff you take on winter fishing trips, piled it into the truck, invited Wally the Wonderdog along, and left.
