  3. Crate bin - simple 3/4" plywood ends, 1/4" plywood sides & 1x4 rails holds 26 7""x11" plano style boxes moves from bench to RV or truck for traveling well stocked by end of winter. Wally world sells the boxes for under $3.00 with dividable compartments. easy to restock vest or sling pack on the road.

  4. I use a 3-ring binder with index cards in folder pocket pages. details include notes on measurements and materials and if it is needed a sample or master pattern but most now have been photographed and stored on a stick. I probably should do the same and digitize and keep the file on a stick or separate drive. It would be much easier to keep organized or make changes.

    I couldn’t agree more with you, almost. I’m not a fan of deep cold winter but I’ll take it without question over the dog days of our summers

    👍 I need the change of seasons, the possibility of ice fishing, sitting in front of the wood stove with the wind and snow blowing. My wanderlust in the hot humid summers always drives me to head north 🐟


  6. If it is a decent day, sunny, above 25-30 degrees Ill fish if I get an opportunity. Used to steelhead fish in colder. Layers, neoprene waders, a sling pack and inflatable suspenders. thermos of hot coffee. fishing is slow and deep unless the winter caddis or stoneflies hatch about mid-day then its slow and shallow. Bitter cold - frozen guides and reels- snow & ice encased wader boots I'm over with fishing in that.............but I'll drag the ice sled out!
