    Alcohol

    I'm in the same boat. It used to frustrate me but I'm now confident it's a good thing. It's a lot easier to stay away from it when it causes such a problem. I see how much faster the guys that could "sleep it off" and keep hitting it are aging, its' not good.

    Alcohol

    I'm sorry for your loss and thank you for posting this. I don't drink much but as someone who's tying to model my behavior for my 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter I should just quit.

    West coast salmon recovery

    More bad news for our salmon. I doubt the emergency over the drought will ever go away. https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2023-02-16/newsom-seeks-to-waive-environmental-protections-in-delta

    Drought for the west

    They've sold out a real super food in salmon to give people almond milk. Depending on what report your read 60 to 80% of the almonds go to China.

    Drought for the west

    Yeah. The way the surface water is handled doesn't seem much better for a state that claims to be the leader on environmental policy.

    Drought for the west

    That is probably not all on the drought. From what I've read that has more to do with them continuing to expand the amount of permanent, water thirsty crops like almonds they're growing in the southern central valley. In many places the valley has been historically dry enough to be considered a...

    The mixed bag cooking may be part of the problem. Teal take about half the time as a mallard or pintail to cook whole, wigeon are somewhere in between depending on there size. As jrabq said they are probably being overcooked. It's also good to pay attention to the different species and how to...

    We have a week left but yesterday was most likely my last hunt of the year. Banded mallard was born in 2020 or before in Summer Lake, Oregon. That's the second one I've gotten here in the Bay Area from Summer Lake.

    Here's a petition for Californians that want to help the salmon. It's a quick sign if you have a minute. https://goldenstatesalmon.salsalabs.org/biopletter/index.html?mc_cid=3c177db156&mc_eid=b431aea330

    Great photo and some nice looking birds. I'm a little surprised a the neoprene waders in that part of the country. I gave up on them a long time ago here because of sweat.

    Home Heating Questions

    Insulation is a great recommendation but don't do it until you get someone to air seal the house first. Having an air barrier that separates the house and the attic and the crawlspace is the biggest bang for the buck improvements you can make on an old house like that. It's something you can do...

    This is our floating blind in a flooded island on the Sacramento/San Juaquin delta. It's public water and for being just on the edge of the SF bay area we're very fortunate to have it. A combination of hugely reduced rice crops in the Sacramento valley and favorable weather have helped us have...

    Freeze Dried Meals

    I don't do well with the pre-made meals so I went with straight freeze-dried chicken, potatoes, green beans this year. I brought olive oil and spices to add to it and was really pleased. It's boring but I'm fine with eating the same thing a couple of times a day for five days. It beats the...

    Back Spasms with New Pack

    You might want to evaluate your stretching routine. If you're adding a lot of hiking without properly stretching your legs and hips it can lead to tightness in your back. Personally I need to keep up with stretching and pressure work, like a foam roller, to keep my back in check.

    Vehicle purchase ( possible eco diesel)

    I have a 2018 Ram Eco Diesel and it's not high 20's overall on mileage, more like 22mpg. It will get high 20's on the highway without a load. It's the first Ram I've owned and I'm not impressed. It's spent a lot of time in the shop with various computer issues and they currently can't figure...

    Cheer me up boys…

    Good luck with the recovery. It should start getting better pretty quickly. I had that same surgery in 2016 at the age of 45. Under my doctor and PT's supervision I was pretty aggressive at getting back to hiking up and down hills after the six week point. I had no problems on my backcountry...

    Calling All Sport Psychologists

    I'm no sports psychologist, (I do coach a lot of youth sports) but I'd say she needs some easy victories and maybe some practice under pressure. Can you do some kind of small game or bird hunting so it's not as big of an achievement if she gets one? If you get her feeling more relaxed while...
