    Your method of fishing?

    On Youtube it appears that for fishing there are mostly videos of fishing from boats. Next are the videos showing fishing from a kayak. Then come the videos showing bank fishing. Which type of fishing do you guys prefer? Do you fish rivers, lakes, ponds, the ocean, or other bodies of water...

    Burger Press Recommendations?

    Do you have a burger press you recommend? I'm referring to the type that initially forms the raw patty, not the type that presses the patty to the grill while cooking.

    Sorry to bore you guys but I'm sooooo bored.

    1 week into a 6 week recovery after my surgery and I could almost scream but I won't. I can't even hold my guitar yet so I can plink around. Maybe I should learn how to play the harmonica. I get up and move around every hour or so as ordered but I can't do any chores around the house except...

    Value of a daily routine for retirement?

    For you retired blokes, did you sit down and work out a daily routine to follow for your retirement? How valuable do you think it was? I have a roughly established routine where I do the same things at about the same time every day and then I have times for self-assigned tasks that change...

    Let me resign ... PLEASE!

    Sent an email to my boss Thursday morning letting him know I plan to resign. He replied that he wanted to schedule some time to talk with me first. Late Friday afternoon he sent me another email saying he is busy but wanted to let me know he hasn't forgotten about me. It's now Wednesday and...

    Working in I.T. 45 years as of today.

    I've seen a lot and done a lot. I've learned that technology is amazing and too many managers are morons. I'm currently working in a company where the managers are coming and going like crazy. Most seem to have a bad case of ADHD. They're constantly looking for some silver bullet to...

    Physical Therapy ... Freaking AMAZING!!!

    I've been suffering from lumbago for years. Started going to a physical therapist for another reason 9 days ago (twice a week). At our first visit I mentioned lumbago and wondered about Piriformis Syndrome so she gave me an extra exercise to see if it helped. Geez! Since that first night, no...

    Good bourbon or rye from COSTCO for not too much money?

    Saw Jameson, which I really like, this afternoon and some Kirkland stuff. Also Bulleit and maybe some others where I recognize the names but haven't tasted them. I wish they had some Wild Turkey bourbon and rye choices but nothing at my location. What do you guys recommend from COSTCO?

    More visits to the doctors ... geez!

    I think this is the last specialist I'm going to see. I'm going to tell my regular doctor, "No more!" Bless his heart, he keeps trying but one of the specialists said it's genetic and it's progressive so that's the way it is. Life goes on. Learn to deal with it. :D

    Over-the-air TV channels.

    Just an FYI for you other tight-wads out there. I re-scanned the TV last night looking for new channels. New ones show up pretty often and some go away occasionally. We're up to 63 channels now. The commercials annoy me but as long as the mute button on the remote works I'm okay. I'm a bit...

    Time in the shed with the smoker yesterday.

    Smoked some country style pork ribs which have nothing to do with the ribs but can be damn good anyway. I've been doing this for years but I'm still surprised how good cheap cuts of meat can taste and how tender they can get when cooked low and slow. Amazing!

    Do any of you still listen to a radio? (Let me know if you don't know what a radio is. :) )

    I listen to a radio in the car and in my office. And I sometimes wear hearing protectors that have a radio built in. Occasionally listen to vinyl or CD's in my office but usually broadcast radio. Do you think AM/FM radio stations will wither away any time soon?
