Ferry Stuffs no.3 - Grill Pro Tip: Fire Placement.
Build the fire in your Weber to one side. This allows you to move your grill subjects around from direct to indirect heat, or hold done items to the side while you take care of other grilling. Use the addition of the top to "bake" when needed. Show More Summary
Ferry Stuffs no.2 - those awesome carabiners.
Use them on your battle belts or waste packs while on the water to temporarily hold important things while you play with fishes, take photos, open beers, light things, do tai chi, or whatever it is you need both hands to accomplish. They are awesome and make you look cool and efficient and hardcore. -Alex who who always wants to help.

MI Ender
Kevin worked the oars, making slight adjustments. A white-fuel Coleman sat in a small wooden box at my feet and hissed warmth at my hands.

I started writing a closing post for the MI trip. It's tasty, but not ready. I am going to Lee's Ferry... just like Michigan, but with 5X instead of 12lb floro. And 40 degrees warmer. And rainbows.

I believe the continued frolicking in sub-freezing temperatures has caused some symptoms to linger longer than normal, however. Show More Summary
MI Notes, Pt2
I have a sore throat. My nose is blown out. Stained. Swung today and had no love. I think Kevin is disappointed by my performance....I am worse. No fishing today.
MI Notes, Pt1
My phone alarm went off at 3:40am and that is strange because it was set for 4:40am, and the phone knew that. It even had a happy little message telling me that my 4:40am alarm was ringing, but the clock on the phone told me it was an hour early. Show More Summary
State of the Fat Guy
I sit at this computer like a loaded gun with no target. Emotion without thought. I need an adventure, I think. I need fresh substance. Fiction for the sake of fiction is fine but I need a spark, something real, some little piece like the grain of sand at the end of the movie The Never Ending Story. Show More Summary
