So I finally bought a new turntable and cartridge to replace the MoFi with the bad azimuth set screw. I could not be happier! This VPI absolute tank weighing in at around 50lbs. Paired with the Audio Technica ART9xi it sounds better than I could have imagined! #vinyl #nowspinning

Was a nice day to be out on a trout stream. This nice looking little brown hammered a #16 Elk Hair Caddis, but it was the only catch I had. Still the scenery was nice!

And just wait until we find out the meager campaign finance laws, that we do have, won't be enforced against anyone running as a Republican. Only Democrats will be under scrutiny, since they replaced everyone that investigates such things, with sycophants loyal to King Donald The First.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Took three month old Hyundai to the dealer for an oil change this morning. 100ish miles from home all the oil had leaked out and the warning light came on. Hyundai towed it 50 miles to the dealer 50 miles from home. Dealer was closed and I was told too bad. No additional help with a loaner or room.

This just aired on my local news, and there are two big takeaways: 📌More confirmation that Becerra is the clear front-runner. 📌Voter turnout is extremely low so far. If you haven’t voted yet, drop off your ballot. Don’t wait. Make sure your vote is counted.

Tried a new to me trout stream today. Was about to call it a day, as not much was happening, but decided to change to a caddis and cast upsteam to a fairly deep hole. Third cast, about 50 feet up, this nice brown lunged on the fly.

New trout stream for me. One of the prettiest I've been to so far in the Driftless. Ice cold 35° water and loaded with small hungry brook trout. Until the sun came out it was one after another after another hitting my fly. Was a fun hour or so.

It’s almost like there is a media landscape that recognized after deregulation and the creation of Fox News in 1987 that there was an extraordinary pull to grievance and the money it generated.

Key words: “by the school.” In Hollywood 80 years ago, we had very clear ideas about how to treat HUAC lapdogs and informers. No one involved in this choice should hold a job in education ever again.
