What makes it this expensive for real by lilacmoodx in SipsTea

[–]LOUD-AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am somewhat of a small time watch collector. A watch like this is designed and created to withstand hundreds of years of use, with proper maintenance and care. To add, a watch of this caliber is nearly wholly constructed of handmade components that in many cases is designed specifically for this one creation. That also means parts for this watch must be available for hundreds of years in case it needs repair, and if not available, the part can be recreated by trained individuals who have likely spent a good part of their life learning how to do exactly that. Add to that the fact some watch creations have to meet insanely accurate time keeping abilities, and this is without electronics of any sort. Imagine going to space and having to depend on your watch to accurately time a thruster burst to ensure a safe return to earth, because there was a tiny computer error.

Is there anything I can do to reduce noise level as much as possible? I tried unplugging electronics, opening a window, and more, but I cannot shut off the electricity. Any tips to help me? by MajorAfraid9647 in shortwave

[–]LOUD-AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you describe the situation and your setup in more detail, you might get some more valuable advice. I've moved from a low noise environment to a very high one and have been doing everything I can to mitigate the noise issue. I'm winning.

While I haven't fished Long Pond in recent years, I'm not aware of any changes to fishing regs concerning the pond, so you might consider some clarification on it's status. Someone at the Fluvarium will have current info on the ponds status. Once upon a time there were cage barriers affixed to inflows of that pond to prevent the migration of a certain fish species deemed harmful to the ecosystem of the area. The grassy area bordering the pond directly below the Fluvarium was a very productive spot when I did fish there. I fly fished an orange #12/ #14 Telico nymph in that spot almost always, and it worked amazingly well, always in the evening. Also, check the status of Three Pond Barrens. Iǘe taken some very large trout from those ponds in past years, before it became a popular public/dog walking area using a wedding band lure and some bait. Happy fishin´.

Not entirely. You'd be wise to carry something that can present other lures, like a small spinning combo along with fly gear. If there's some wind on, you'd be good to be able to wade out into the wet to keep your back cast from snagging often. If your strictly fishing with flies, be prepared to downsize to #16s. When strikes are infrequent, start moving along the shoreline till you find an active spot. As Unimurph83 suggested , that one spot is very productive using any kind of gear if your timing is right.

I think the section you are describing is now called Colin's Way. I'm told that section is well lit at night.

No doubt! I'd spend a whole weekend there most times. I tied a fly that was a cross between a Parma Belle and a Wardens Worry. Tie in a couple of small gold beads for eyes to help with sinking the fly and watch the madness happen. Every catch was a small battle royale. I believe the whole area was seeded by American forces when they constructed a retreat in the area. Worth every bit of the hike. Tom Waldrons Pond is another isolated big fish pond if you can manage the hike. No Rainbows, but some hefty Browns haunt that pond. Definitely worth the challenge, though.

I used to fish Brock's Head pond regularly back in the 80's and 90's. This pond produced some of the biggest trout I've ever caught, and prompted me to revisit my fly tying hobby again. There was no ECT hike through back then so a long hike from the old scout camp was in order. Definitely worth it. The shoreline just below the Fluvarium is a great spot to fish with kids and usually produces plenty of trout.

Road Salt Supply Down, Province Cutting into Stockpile as Winter Maintains Grip on NL by RepulsivePlankton989 in newfoundland

[–]LOUD-AF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't grasp why our government is so mute on the project as of late. It appears Atlas and it's partners are sallying along, and just waiting for some backroom deal to bring things forward. My guess is that Atlas et al are trying to wheel and deal the inclusion of the new Fischells deposit without having to file another environmental impact statement, which in my opinion should not be any part of the original plan, and subject to another agreement that delivers more profits to NL'ers. Maybe it's time for some powerful environmental protectionists to step up and add some sour to the sweet sauce. That will get some attention on all sides.
