traderjoesium is highly toxic, with the main side effect being gabbing incessantly at the checkout stand. I avoid it as much as possible. that said, you will have to pry their Dragon Sauce from my cold dead jibbering fingers.
meanwhile, back at the non-ranch.

@wd40 Yes, it's the basic intro kit from Cabela's/Bass Pro. I can see that it's good enough to get started, but like my other hobbies, I'll soon go stupid with it. At least I'm under no pretense that I'm trying to save money by tying. And it looks like Regals are as much or more than the Renzetti Travelers these days. I think I'd get a lot of use out of the rotary function on the Traveler, but man, the Regals are just beautiful.
@troph, as a dorky kid who had half-dried Testor's bottles scattered about his room, the same thought occurred to me. We're just big kids, after all. It's a little early for me to enter my "puttering" phase, but why not? My younger son suggested I'll need a tying station with a pipe rest before long.
My older one is off at school in Colorado, so I wrote him a little note and slipped that first ugly fly in the envelope for him to fish when it thaws out. That was a pretty cool misty-eyed dad moment.
I'll bet it'll look great stuck in a tree.the Regal I got is the Travel one, with SS jaws, on close-out at LW for like $180 (reg $273). iirc, she gave me a deal on it below the markdown price of $191. it's rotary function is good enough for me, but what I really like is the big lever for clamping the jaws.

I think I started out with that same vise (Cabela's?) I eventually got a Regal, and it's night and day. but even then, I struggled with the ROI. a Renzetti, for me? no way. a magnifying desk lamp was way more bang for the buck.
when I said Salida guy, I meant a wanna-be, like me. I have an old binder with color printouts of midge patterns and whatnot from charliesflybox and some sites that don't exist anymore. but I found them by looking for specific patterns that worked for me in NM and CO.
everyone absorbs info differently. seems like everyone wants youtubes, now. but I would start with the flies you plan to use to find the voice that speaks to you most effectively.
the other thing is there's a lot of patterns out there that catch way more fishermen than fish. simple flies actually work, and it's easier to knock out a bunch ahead of a trip. you might find out you like tying as an end in itself. I find tying relaxing, but the goal for me is to fish them.

I believe it was horse beastiality? Someone on ShaggyBevo posted links to a beastility message board that had a bunch of posts about sex w/horses that were all signed "Bernard" the same way he did it here. They were creepily detailed.

Only took about three months of on-again / off-again work, but finally finished up this outdoor table. Still need to figure out what we're going to do for benches / chairs, so we're using some cheap ones from Home Depot in the meantime. I may get roped into building some benches to match the table. If so, those should be ready in the spring... of 2025.
Construction was pretty easy. Welded up some 3x3 square tube for the base. 4/4 Teak for the top. Fastened with dominoes and left a dime gap between the slats for water to drain. Had to go back and weld some additional supports for the perpendicular middle piece since I couldn't find any Teak longer than 10'. Turned out nicer than I expected, but the Teak was waaaaay more expensive than I originally thought.
love the table, and the house. #team chairs, but benches would be good for the following: 1) will help you get laid once, 2) when you have to entertain people you don't like and don't want them to get too comfortable, 3) magazine covers.
but what I also want to know is: do you plan to do anything with your rainwater pipes? I've gotten used to mine as naked white PVC, but occasionally I get ideas to help them complement the look of the house (besides paint, which I see flaking off the PVC pretty quickly and looking like shit).

Living Waters dude does pretty good tying vids; but you're a Salida guy, so I'd start with some simple beadhead thread nymphs, then some crystal flash emergers (black or chocolate, you should have a bunch of black thread, anyway). then whatever. as mentioned, clousers are good starters, as are Brushy Creek Streamers (LW fly, beegtime).

“White people taco night” for the kids who love just bean and cheese on flour. Threw some tots in the air fryer and heated up the leftover taco meat. Little bit of this, little bit of that. Lodi appellation and not vintners blend because I’m not a total philistine.
Went back for round two because Fat Tuesday is right around the corner so we’re making this a fat Friday.
My only regret was that the bear plate was in the wash. And I should have added more cholula.- 1

+1 on the Encore. I use a french press (like the sst one above) and my wife uses an aero press, so the grind adjustment gets a fair amount of use. I fucked up and let it overfill once. managed to clear it myself without much trouble. still works great, two years in.
