I had druggies (one the daughter of a respected judge) steal a bunch of stuff from my garage. The police took a report, but didn't do anything for reasons I can understand. However, my wife went on...
Be aware that the do not call registry has 4 major loopholes:
*It does not apply to political calls.
*It does not apply to charities.
*It does not apply to any business where you have a prior...
I finished reading The Turtle by D.L. Gilmore last night and consider it one of the best books I have read in the past decade. I enjoyed every story in it and admired the ways these stories were...
The copper john was a productive fly for me. Maybe it is geographic. I then lived in the same town where this fly was invented.
Excellent, Kerry!
Somehow I never got to the point where I blamed the pattern. I blamed myself, or just took it as an off day. The patterns stayed in my fly boxes.
Conversely, I suspect most of us have our few...
Korkers were the best boot I ever had. My only beef was that they kept changing the sole design. But their customer service was great about helping me find replacement soles.
Here's the same hat in camo.

I see a lot of mailings for senior citizen products in your future. ;) They will arrive very shortly, even if you do not yet qualify from a barrage of AARP mailings.
Jim, hate to say this, but it is probably going to get worse in the next few weeks as things really sink in. Use your support group, the folks you really trust. Then you'll hit bottom and you'll...
Jim, I think I have a good idea of how you feel right now as I lost my wife of almost 47 years in March. My sincere condolences!
Having a bit of a head start on you, I'll try to offer some...
I just used FlexiSeal for the first time today --on a gutter that caulking didn't seem to fix. Don't know how if would work on waders, but did note it does not allow for precise application. If you...
My USMC son Evan has come a long way since hitting the IED in Iraq on 1/1/05. Beautiful wife. 3 great kids. Several triathlons, including 2 Ironmen. Sunny, happy to be alive, disposition and no trace...
I think the phrase "let your conscience be your guide" applies here and I have no wish to judge anyone's conscience. I have returned waders that leaked way too early IMHO. I have not returned rods...
I did not have a good mother. We all turned out OK, but now think it was somewhat despite her, As we've aged and learned about life, we've all learned to forgive her and know she did the best she...
First thing I'd do is figure out what the Spring run-off was doing. It could be blowing out many streams, even while deep snow makes many high mountain streams unavailable.
If you are more...
I use Firefox as my main browser and am very happy with it. It works better for me than IE for most sites. I have not used Chrome. I keep IE on my computer as there are still some sites that run...
I used a Katadyne, very carefully, for years. I got giardia. I threw it away and used bottled water after that. Giardia is not pleasant
I heard that on NPR too.
I found FAOL shortly after seriously taking up fly fishing as a hobby. I was immensely grateful for the information the overall site offered and, especially, for the customized responses to my...
Denny, you've done a great job for the FAOL community. Many thanks!
Charlaine, thanks for volunteering to keep the coop clean, so to speak. ;)
Very best wishes! Everybody I know who has done this has been very happy they did.

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a very attractive woman waving at him.
She says, 'Hello."
He's rather taken aback because he can't place where he knows her from. So he asks, 'Do you...
You have mine for sure, Allan!
