    Sadly, Kings just shut down for non-residents for the entirety of Southeast.  Halibut is 1 per day in a slot for charters and no retention Wednesdays except for the far northern edge of southeast that gets regulated with Yakutat and is a little better. Silver/Coho is going to be solid from what I saw in outside waters in late June.  

    Kings are already shut down for the season?  Fuck.  I'm gonna be in Sitka at the end of July.  Good news on Coho, though. And I won't be fishing on Wednesday so I dodged that one, too.  Halibut is by far my favorite fish.  How are rockfish regs?  Have they tightened those up as well?

    They might have decided to make an example of him to put a stop to it.  The drivers are like little kids when it comes to stuff like that.

    If that's what they want, go to the next driver's meeting and tell them the next driver to do it gets a 10 second penalty.  Don't care for the way they handled it.

    It's definitely not ideal, but I can't get too worked up about it since it happened because someone was brake checking people on a wet track during a safety car.

    Yeah, but that's been a regular occurrence this year.  George did it in Canada.  Oscar said he did it at other times yesterday without penalty.  Just seems like the stewards went from 0-100 real fast on that penalty for something that did not impact anyone's race. And I can't stand Lando, so that's surely influencing how I feel about it.

    He did.  Maybe they've talked about it in drivers meetings since then.  I really think the track conditions played a big role in this one.

    Even Max thought it was overly harsh in his postrace comments.  I hate to see a race decided like that.

    I don't think a warning was necessary.  The drivers all know it's against the rules. The safety car was having trouble staying on track in some of the corners so it wasn't a great time to play games with Max.  I would say that probably contributed to him getting a 10 second penalty.

     

    No car may be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person at any time whilst the safety car is deployed.

    Didn't George do the same thing in Canada and got no penalty?

    Thanks for the info.  This is very helpful.  Just because we don’t have experience at either, we are thinking of Crested Butte for half and Beaver Creek for half.  Still deciding on that or  Crated Butte the entire week.

    There is more to do in and around Breck, but I prefer CB myself, especially when it comes to fishing.  To each his own.

    Wife is in Denver for work and just sent me this:IMG_0496.thumb.jpeg.85c86dd9e7f8f8ea45d17337e56d30fd.jpeg

    Just found out from my wife that one of her friends' son was on the jury for this trial.  Said the reason the award was so low is there was one holdout that wanted to let him off scott free. Almost resulted in a hung jury but the judge told them to keep going.  That was the most he would agree to.  Everyone else wanted much higher damages (not that any will ever be paid).

    Oscar is soooo much better a driver than Lando, but a dumb arse move to break that hard.  

    As mentioned above, he very much loves to fuck with Max and that is one reason why he is better than Lando, Oscar isn't scared of Max, and he is more competitive and a crafty sob.  

    I do agree that he had done similar things with the prior safety car and if there was no warning then the 10 second penalty was damn steep because you caused him the win. Understand he needs to be penalized, but you have drivers such as Ochon and the Divine Wind who wreck people out on a regular basis and do it every fucking race.  

    Not sure if Lando is the bigger Wanker than Zach Brown is a bigger miserable douche', maybe both, but if Oscar wasn't at McLaren they might be the most unlikeable top team in some time. At least with RB and Max and Lewis and Merc you felt like they deserved the wins. 

    10 seconds for that move was excessive, though, especially since there was no warning, as you mentioned.  If you're going to penalize him at all, 5 seconds should have been the max. Instead, they gave the race win to Lando.

     I want to do a fishing trip to Alaska with my son.

    Do it.  It's an amazing time and you come home with a fuckload of fish, which offsets the cost somewhat.

    Speaking of Alaska, just got back from 9 days on my North River.  Did a 280 mile round trip in one day to Glacier Bay to see the Margerie Glacier and slayed kings and silvers off the coast at Yakobi Island.  The pic where it looks like the boat is floating on a sheet of glass is at 41.5 MPH through Icy Strait.

    What are they doing with halibut and king regs this season?  Is there a required no fish day for halibut?

    yeah, kinda feels like a scorned ex-girlfriend running around going, "if you really want to know about him, I'm right here!"

    It's not like I've watched him play for 10 seasons or anything.  But keep on asking if he can just be more consistent.  I'm sure he'll do it for you guys if you ask nicely.

  12. The question is, can Rantanen be the man or a full season without having MacKinnon next to him?  
    I was hoping the crazy burst he had early in the playoffs would at least push him to be the bellcow for the rest or the playoffs(no not expecting hat tricks every game just consistency at a reasonably high level) but to be honest he kinda disappeared. 
    It's a big bet and add in head coach who hasn't been there before(or not really even close) makes it even bigger.
    we'll see.
    Read what I said earlier in this thread about him.

    What bothered me is that this is a 3-week e-library loans. I had to shut off my Kindle's WiFi for the past month.

    I just finished Part II last night. :)

    Also, I picked it up when I was binging webcomics, so for weeks I wasn't making progress.

    But yeah. The due date made me feel rushed.

    Reading these books with a due date would be tough indeed.

    I'm enjoying it, but it's JUST so damn long...

    I love long books when they are engaging.  Book 5 was not that and was the longest of them all.

    I'm struggling to finish the first one.

    I really enjoyed the first 3.  The 4th dragged on in spots and the 5th was a struggle to get through.
