Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 22/09/2026I love some local interest at museums. Today Charlie and I found the Peekskill Meteorite at the American Museum of Natural History. It hit a car just a few blocks down the hill from where we live. 120

Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 10/05/2026Fired up the pizza oven to make some flatbreads. Charlie is getting good at turning them. 000
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 07/05/2026The drill bit version of tire repair tools is 100x easier than the T handled version. If you ever plan to plug your own tires, get some. $13 at AutoZone. 010
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 29/04/2026Thanks to @jcguarneri.bsky.social's @tenkaraangler.bsky.social article, I found some Cinnamon Ferns and collected zenmai to some kebari with! 030
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 28/04/2026My 4yo had a blast today playing in the creek and trying to net some creek minnows. He eventually caught a blacknose dase and was thrilled. 100
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 28/04/2026Today during our Trout in the Classroom macroinvertebrate sampling we had something very cool happen. Dozens of tiny BWOs emerged right in our sample bins! It was great to be able to show the students this happening in realtime. 010
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 26/04/2026Took some water samples today for eDNA testing. Saw some bloodroot and Jack in the Pulpit. 000
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 25/04/2026Charlie loves playing with our friends' cat, and they invited us over for dinner tomorrow, so I took a break from tying striped bass flies to tie a hookless cat toy on a swivel clip. I call it "Maisie's Deceiver." #flytying 131
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 25/04/2026In this house, we use the outdoor pressure release method. 020
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 22/04/2026The stream also has frogs, crayfish, turtles, and some great macroinvertebrate life. I saw giant stoneflies, free floating caddis, and mayflies. Also some little black early stoneflies, too. 100
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 22/04/2026I caught it in classic brookie territory, around deadfalls. 100
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 22/04/2026Today I caught a beautiful wild brook trout today in Westchester County, just five miles from my house. I'd heard whispers that this small stream contained brook trout, and I was delighted to catch one on my first outing there. #flyfishing #tenkara #brooktrout 172
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 20/04/2026I put in a reverse osmosis water filter system under the sink today. Took about 90 minutes, which included collecting my tools, drilling a hole, and following the instructions. I picked the iSpring RCC7AK. Working nicely so far and we can taste the difference in a side-by-side comparison. 010
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 15/04/2026Had a great afternoon yesterday taking my son out exploring Constitution Marsh after school. It is fun that he is at an age now where we can do this regularly! 000
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 13/04/2026Charlie and I found trout lilies, wood anemone, fiddleheads, and a common flicker feather today in the woods. 110
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 11/04/2026I still remember my first time trying out HTML at a school computer lab and the magical feeling of hitting Save and Refresh and seeing the webpage change. I wish I still had the old Elizabeth Castro book I used then. 3301
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 10/04/2026Trying out some float bags on the Guideboat. These are actually inflatable dock bumpers. 040
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 08/04/2026Caught a nice little brook trout today on a dry fly, a CDC little black stone, size 16. This one is probably 2-3 years old given the faint, fading parr marks. #tenkara #flyfishing 030
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 07/04/2026On a walk in the woods I came across some atypical daffodils. I think they might be called Double Daffodils? 020
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 01/04/2026The macroinvertebrate sampling was incredible. In about 10 minutes, we collected: 2 species of Stoneflies 2 species of Mayflies 2 species of Caddis (rock cased caddis and free floating green caddis) Crawfish Blood midges Water pennies Hellgrammites Crane fly larvae Horsehair worms Scuds Eggs 000
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 01/04/2026Tied some Synthetic Clousers tonight. Striped bass on the brain. #flytying 061
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 27/03/2026Another nighttime walk in the woods with rubber boots and a flashlight. Lots of green frogs out tonight. 010
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 24/03/2026I think something went wrong with your blog. That post is showing Not Found for me and your homepage is blank where the posts usually are. 201
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 11/03/2026I added a new photo to the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation Chronolog. www.chronolog.io/site/PRC105 010
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 08/03/2026Update: The dry little black stone landed me a wild brown trout today. Lots of stoneflies were out. #flyfishing 050
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 07/03/2026I used @automattic.com's Telex to create a Pages Family Tree block for my Digital Garden. I wanted to be able to see my hierarchical post types in context, so it shows two levels of ancestors and two levels of children in relation to the current page I am on. I use it in the sidebar. 100
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 06/03/2026I haven't tied much this winter, but the prospect of some rain and warmer weather melting the snow and ice has me hopeful for getting out on the water. Tied some peacock body little black stoneflies with CDC wings, and some dark glass bead sakasa kebari. #flytying #flyfishing #tenkara 2111
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 06/03/2026The Little Free Library I put up in 2024 is still doing great! The three of us walked over and each put in a couple books. Glad to see it was pretty full with good books. 030
Chuck Grimmett @cagrimmett.com · 11/02/2026A brook trout I sketched for Charlie's daily lunch note. 030
