Ashland to Almaden in 3 Minutes…. This last weekend, we hung out in Eugene visiting my son who is in his senior year at University of Oregon.. We watched the Ducks put the hurt on the Georgia State Panthers. On our way up to Eugene, we stopped at his roomates parents house located ten minutes…
After a marathon two days at Disneyland with Gina, I managed to get up this morning at 5 AM to give O’Neill Forebay a ride on Labor Day. The winds really laid down all weekend and I couldn’t resist a still morning. I was hoping for some topwater and when I arrived at…
NEVER NEVER NEVER again. Do not use Home Depot and JW FLooring . They are a big company that contract incompetent local installers that promise you everything and deliver nothing.
More Videos to come as I edit them! This years St. Mary’s anglers consisted of Wayne and the twins, Jon Leonard, Dick and Mike Sasaki. Halfway through our week long expedition, Alberta Fish and Game closed a vast amount of its river system to fishing due to low and warm water conditions in order to preserve the…
I thought shooting little league baseball and high school lacrosse was a challenge even with a Nikon that shot 8 frames a second at full frame. To capture that right moment, you had to anticipate the moment and hope that a 1/100th of a second event could be captured with a one of 8…
Fourteen years ago, after wearing glasses and hard contact lenses for over 15 years I took a chance on a new type of surgery called “Soft Brush” Epi-LASIK (PRK). After I did a consult call Touch Up Laser clarified for me that Flap LASIK surgery was first approved in the US in 1999 and when I…
Having both your favorite college football teams beat by the same team is a new type of agony. The Arizona WIldcasts for a second year in a row upset the Oregon Ducks. Two weeks ago they beat CAL with a Hail Mary pass. You can blame last nights Duck fail on many things that are not that surprising. The…
Finally! We started the backyard renovation November of 2013 because the existing deck was ready to collapse from rot. After several estimates ranging from 30-75k, I picked a contractor that gave me reasonable quote for deck construction and demolition and who was willing to work on anything else I wanted at a rate of $50…
The wind has been blowing big at San Luis Reservoir these last few weeks and with the three bad trips I had in a row in March, I’m using the down time to finish the Backyard Deck Remodel which I have been working on since November. When its done , I will post a detailed…
I’ve spent much time trying to figure out where exactly my fly is in relationship to what Im seeing on my electronics. I figured I would try to simplify the math in determining where a fly is behind the boat . Last week Dan showed me a technique he uses to fish for stripers at…
Every so often I find a web site that is a game changer for me. For example in the last couple years, sites like Kickstarter.com, Fasttech.com and Cheesycam.com have inspired me to build things that have enhanced my flyfishing, photography and dental professional skills. Kickstarter is a wonderful mall of a site to explore some…
I called it last week. The Refs, in an obvious way, screwed the Niners out of the Superbowl. Unbelievable. When one play in the last 20 seconds of a game determines the winner, every bad call is momentum changing. Upon replay, there was no doubt whatsoever that the calls were wrong! Gene Steratore and…
It seems everytime the 49rs have lost a playoff game in the last three years, its was because of a bad call by a referee. I call conspiracy to keep the 49rs out of the playoffs. So many bad calls in the red zone in the last couple years that it seems obvious. A ref…
Congratulations to the Niners for pulling off the spectacular win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in the Freezing Cold. The more I watch football, the more I realize how it is actually a game of inches and not yards…. As I watched Phil Dawsons’s last second field goal barely clear the right…
This year’s Christmas was unique for a few major reasons–the absence of our annual Luminaria Tradition and the fact that both kids had to fly home fro distant locations to be with us. New York and Eugene were incredibly cold over the holidays and both kids were happy to be back in the warmth…
