The Coffee House

The wife and I are almost fully caught up on Doctor Who, just need to finish up Season 10.

I watched "Blink" last night - one of my favorites.

I love that one, as well! The Weeping Angels are definitely one of my favorite species/enemies in Doctor Who. Their episodes were always very engaging.

I think the Daleks are my number one favorite. The scene when the Daleks and the Cybermen first meet is probably one of my favorite scenes of the entire series. It goes on for around 2 minutes and is absolutely hilarious.

I never got trout fever. Just something about rubbing elbows with fellow fishermen that ruins it for me. I like peace, solitude and quiet when I enjoy nature.

I haven't been fishing, in general, for a number of years; neither offspring was very interested (though #1 went a couple times but always fell in water or mud) and I got busy with other things.

I'll probably take a fly rod, as well as a spin rod in case there are too many folks. I'll pick up some bait hooks, a small block of Velveta, and small can of corn.

They look like R2-D2 and 3-CPO...

Opening Day is an 'unofficial holiday' in Cincinnati. They might as well just make it a holiday for all that anything else gets done. I'll watch the open and the first pitch and then it won't be long before I'll get bored and switch over to hockey for the evening.

Velveeta and cheese? Just get a corn dog on a stick and dangle that in the water.

Inside the National Park it is strictly artificial, no corn, cheese or live bait. Brooks are the only native species, which I've considered myself lucky if I caught any above the minimum 7". At lower elevations and outside the park you can find some Rainbow and Brown. They can get larger. Might be because of all the "corn" people feed them LOL

We used to fish salt water for trout and redfish inshore and kingfish, ling, dolphin (fish) and red snaper. But offshore has all but been regulated so that it makes no sense to go.
And we live better than 140 miles from the gulf now. Used to be only 45 miles or so.

Samy's Camera day in the newspaper

Supporting the local camera store (which is "local" about 40 minutes away) is great, but mine doesn't carry anything outside CaNikoSony. I was told, "we don't carry a huge selection of brands" the last time I asked about m4/3.

I understand their perspective as a seller, but it's frustrating from a consumer's perspective when I can't go hold any of the cameras or lenses. I'd much rather buy from them than any of the other large retailers.

Speaking of, does anyone know if we have any threads on here about "what photography related item did you buy recently"? There's a fairly active one on another forum I frequent, and while it's pretty bad for GAS and GIGS*, it's really opened my eyes to products and brands available that I may not be familiar with. @terri, @tirediron, @SquarePeg, @limr, do any of you know if we have a similar thread somewhere? If not, I might start one...

*GIGS - Grass is greener syndrome

My favorite camera store is in the middle of relocating. Been trying to wait for them to reopen to buy a telephoto lens. Now that it's warming up, I don't know if I can hold out until their grand reopening on April 30.

Same here - there are a number of waters that are special trout management areas: catch & release, artificial fly, artificial lure) and one trophy trout area (12" Brook trout minimum and 18" Brown trout minimum). One of my favorites is a little stream that flows through Cunningham Falls State Park and Catoctin Mountain National Park. The stream follows along side MD Route 77, the Federal Park (including Camp David) is on the north side, the State park on the south. I've only seen Brook Trout there, but I haven't fished there in a long time.

In order to please the masses, a number of small ponds and streams are stocked for "put and take." These carry a five-per-day limit. I did pull a 13" rainbow out of one; it probably lived through the previous year.

few years ago a friend of mine took his toddler grandson to a pay to fish area for trout. In all the excitement of watching grandson, he lost track of the count. By the time he remembered he had already run up a $100 bill.

We had a mighty good crock pot concoction for dinner. No fish involved.

Don't know if they still have it but it was.a spring fed pond that they overstocked with hungry fish. You paid upfront like $10/person to fish, plus $5/lb for every fish caught.

Change your passwords.

My wife joked that they now have the weight of everyone, too, haha.
