Dentist in a small Oregon town. Probably thinking about fly fishing.

Former social scientist for defense clients. Some of you may remember me from such places as Uzbekistan, Leavenworth, or MacDill.

Go Ducks!
The pettirosso nymph stays winning.

Explored some of the year round trout water to the north of me. Would have been decent tenkara water, but I did more exploring than fishing and stuck to my 3wt. Was nice to encounter only wild fish on this stocked stream.

Yeah. Stick to the medicine of his people, opioids.
JD Vance calls ibuprofen "useless medication" and implies it's not "necessary, safe and effective."

If you're into fly tying, check out Pheasant Tail Simplicity. I like the "keep it simple" approach. I'm a sucker for soft hackles, so I started with the very first pattern in the book.

The only part of that game that I watched in the back of this pharmacology class was that Sappington FG. 100% of the game was perfect when I had it on. You're welcome. #goducks

Keep going. I'm almost there.
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

By the beginning of November, I'm generally booked solid to January, usually with more expensive procedures.

That is not at all the case this year. I have a decent number of openings next week.

Feels like some kind of indicator of how people feel about the economy

I'm going to go out before the atmospheric river tomorrow and look forward to trying this one out. I
When wet, the spun rabbit looks like a fat, juicy caddis pupa. Very cool fly pattern.

Second time out with a western fly rod -- quick 45 minutes practice casting -- and got my first catches. The pettirosso nymph has worked for me with tenkara and western. Love it.

One of these assholes compared the protests to the attack on Ft. Sumter.

My new federal judiciary reform idea is that every federal judge from the appeals court level and up needs to be housed in a supermax as a condition of their position.

The Trump administration may deploy National Guard troops to Portland, the judges decided Monday.

What a beautiful fall afternoon to slip, fall on your back in a creek, drive 30 miles back towards home, realize you lost your full fly box in the fall, drive back, find it has floated downstream and is barely hanging on a stick, and recover the whole batch.

I am so sick of these chickenshit, no-virtue-having, Confederacy-respecting motherfuckers who've never spent a second of their life in selfless service to others, let alone this country, claiming that they're the true judges of who does and doesn't stand for the foundational truths of this republic.
Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Klamath dam removal has been a spectacular success for salmon. Really awesome to see them getting farther up the river and into tributaries than expected.

Went out and saw my friends in the water today. Once again, they were all too small to make it up to shore. But for the first day with a western fly rod, I was just happy to get interest (and a ton of info from the host here).

Rainy Friday bluelining with the Keiryu Rod Co minimax (mostly... Got our a couple others out too).

Water is starting to rise in this Coast Range river system.

Wild how everyone around here is getting sick, everyone who goes to the hospital tests positive for COVID, everyone has classic COVID symptoms, and all of them say "I don't have COVID, it's just a cold or the flu."

Hey, it will help them afford the big fee increases for my services I anticipate for 2026. I'm paying way more than $2000 in additional business expenses for this bullshit.
What do people think about giving working class Americans a $2000 tariff relief check for the unfair tax that has driven their grocery and housing prices up?

I didn't catch anything and broke a brand new rod. But my goodness is it nice to get these reminders of how beautiful our public lands are.

These are three separate lakes on a trail just below 6K feet near the intersection or Umpqua, Willamette, and Deschutes national forests.
