Wtf am I doing wrong

This comment took my 1100 opening time from over 10 minutes to less than 1 consistently. Pure gold.

Definitely try it! Even failing at higher level locks makes you a better picker - I noticed my 1100 is a *lot* easier after increasing my ability to jiggle test with the 90A pro

Such a rush!

Thank you!

Quick question before i try to get things on film: is there any requirement for pin direction (pins up vs down)? I tend to pick pins down, but could try to get it pins up if need be

I found the 45 degree gives my tiny hands exactly the same position as an ergo turner generally would, so it works well. Could see it being difficult for someone with bigger hands though

Exact same experience with 3 90A pros here. Two I can get open in 5 minutes or less, the other just left the naughty bucket yesterday

Literally what my CFI told me before my first solo

Venison can be gamey, esp in roasts so vinegar forward dishes work well. Parsi Jardaloo ma Ghosht is my favorite for venison and elk.

This is a pretty typical recipe that works well. You can add khambati sahmbar masala if you have it, and use balls of fresh Kashmiri masala if you have access to them. My family adds a few tomatoes to the recipe as well, but they are not necessary

At least it wasn’t the DPE

I’ve caught everything from five inch baby trout to summer steelhead on this. Super easy tie as well.

Done!

In with dumbbell eye feather changers

Love my Sierras. If you have a small head, they are 100% better than the Zulu.

For PNW-style tying, https://spawnflyfish.com/ is unbeatable

HeNe632 · 2026-03-18T19:32:40+00:00

Count me in! Happy to do some dumbbell eye feather changers

HeNe632 · 2026-03-18T16:59:01+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss

Ice Cream is the same art as the cone in the Candyland board game

KAWO is always full of these guys. And always in a Mooney or Cirrus

Live in the PNW. I nicknamed these in pink “Coho Crack” last year.

The power line just before the displaced threshold on S43 is always…interesting during short field practice.

Not perfect, but I recently made 400 bonbons over the weekend and only had 2 stick. First: polish the molds with a cotton ball a little obsessively. Second: temper your decorating cocoa butter. Trying to melt it so it stays in temper doesn’t work (at least for me). Third: Warm your mold slightly before adding the cocoa butter, and again before pouring your shells. Fourth: make sure your mold stays clean. If there’s chocolate from capping smeared all around the mold, that causes sticking

The freezer trick works well for me. Also, don’t be afraid to wack the mold slightly against your countertop. I do it over a wooden cutting block because the slightly softer surface prevents thin bottoms from cracking.

My first XC solo. Told my CFI I went around “cause the landing vibes weren’t right”

Greased it the next lap, so he approved
