Alaskan. Electrical enginerd. Hunter, fisherman, gardener. Ham radio operator.

GM. I have a Western Digital MyCloud that has been working without issue for 6 years. It does connect to the web, but I have never used that feature.

I enjoy saltwater fishing more. I have only fished Valdez in August, trolling for silver salmon. It was a blast, they put up a good fight.

Right now, you may be able to take a charter out and jig for halibut or lingcod. I would bet there are some roadside fly fishing opportunities along the drive for trout, dollies and grayling, but I don't know of any specific spots. Flesh flies or beads work in any stream with a salmon run.

You put it in an ETF and charge people a 0.25% fee per year to hold it on their behalf.

If I have to report capital gains when I spend bitcoin that has appreciated since I acquired it, I should get to report capital losses when I spend dollars that have deprecated since I acquired them.

My dad is in his early 70's and lives in another state. I don't see him more than once or twice a year, but I just went and visited for a week.

It's tough to see age slowing him down. He mentioned that he recently went to change the oil in my mom's car. He has a pair of logs that he cut with a chainsaw into car ramps. When he pulled them out to use they had gotten too rotten to be 'safe' so instead of cutting new ones or buying actual ramps, he decided that his oil changing days are over, drove to town and paid some guy to do it for him. It's the end of an era, chokes me up a little.

I just beat my mom at scrabble by playing nigger on a triple word score.

Booyah!

They take your picture and the computer compares it to your id.

I just went through TSA in Anchorage. They are making everyone walk past a dog individually. They have roped off a 40'X15' area for this. There are 5 people supervising the dog handler. It's odd.

They are actually enforcing the real id thing, but they are real cool with opting out of facial recognition. No one was though.

It is in the brewery district. We are staying in Oak Park.

I have to go to #Chicago this weekend for a wedding. How's the riot forecast looking?

I was five or six when the 'brain on drugs' commercial came out. They played on TV nonstop. I remember being really concerned that my mom was trying to feed me brains cooked in drugs for breakfast.

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, an Anchorage man answered his door to find two grim-faced Alaska State Troopers.

"We're sorry Mr. Wilkens, but we have some information about your wife," said one trooper...

"Tell me, please! Did you find her?" Wilkens shouted.

The troopers looked at each other.

One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?”

Fearing the worst, an ashen Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news first."

The trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in Prince William Sound."

"Oh. my God!" exclaimed Wilkens. Swallowing hard, he asked, "Well, what's the good news?"

The trooper continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 twenty-five pound king crabs a 5 gallon buckets worth of shrimp and 6 good-size Dungeness crabs clinging to her and we feel that you are entitled to a share in the catch."

Stunned, Mr. Wilkens demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news?"

The trooper said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow."

I helped my first tourists of the year who were wandering around the grocery store looking for the beer aisle. Sorry, beer aisles are illegal in Alaska, you to go to the weird little liquor store attached the grocery store, but with a separate entrance. Even after living in here for 15 years I can't over how stupid this is.
