Thought for the Day

Posted in Books, Fish Local, Good Fishing Is Where You're At, Of Marginal Importance on January 8th, 2009 by Salty

“I have an idea that some men are born out of their due place. Accident has cast them amid strangers in their birthplace, and the leafy lanes they have known from childhood or the populous streets in which they have played, remain but a place of passage. They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever known. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deep-rooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history. Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs. Here is the home he sought, and he will settle amid scenes that he has never seen before, among men he has never known, as though they were familiar to him from his birth. Here at last he finds rest.”-W. Somerset Maugham , The Moon and Six Pence

Old Timey Goodness: Dulce de leche

Posted in Biscuit Appreciation, Laser Awesomnality, Ridiculously Brilliant on January 7th, 2009 by Wally

Unless you’re camped out, hung over and/or drunk you wouldn’t think much of my cooking. Enter the pop’n fresh pastry smothered with dulce de leche.  Doesn’t look like much but it tastes gooood.

1 tube of pop’n fresh pastry or Krusteaz biscuit mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk 

Let can of sweetened condensed milk – unopened – sit in pot of boiling water for two hours.
Bake pastry in covered cast iron skillet for ten minutes.
Carefully open can, pour over pastries.
Enjoy with your fav bourbon.

The View From Your Bench- At a loss for words

Posted in BWTF Seal Of Approval, View from your bench on January 7th, 2009 by Salty

Ok, this is probably the most unique bench view I’ve gotten yet. I swear this is a still from a David Lynch film

- a cat staring at us from a stuffed sheep

- a spotlit antelope head

- two women gazing slightly off camera

and if you look closely, there is a vice on top of the GI footlocker/ coffee table

Built for the upcoming SE Arizona Quail Bake

First, some theme music before the build

Start off with the mock up and layout. Total cost in materials was $14. Could be free if you can scrounge up what you need.

 Drill the appropriate holes for the mounting bolts and a pilot hole for the jig saw.

Cut on the line. I also recommend removing the front crossbar for “clearance”

Mount seat, tighten bolts and you’re done

Steelhead Water

Posted in Buster's Mustard, Fishin Dogs, Good Fishing Is Where You're At, Laser Awesomnality on January 2nd, 2009 by bacon_to_fry

The little river’s been out for two weeks, in for a day, went back out overnight and been gone for the last two.

Such is the duality of the Northwestern thing.

The true greasy, greasy, y’all, but it’s not there right now:

Ted Williams reports that the guest of honor at the spring meeting of the American Museum of Fly Fishing will be none other than that ultimate defender of wildlife, Dick Cheney.

You may still be recovering from New Years, but you did read that correctly.
