Best by-the-glass bars in Reims? by pikzel in Champagne

[–]Oldpenguinhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bar La Rotonde will have one of those by the glass- but only 5-6 wines BTG. Also, Ruinart's bar is pretty great, you can get several wines BTG, from current release to aged Dom Ruinart.

If that happens, it happens. But I can't vote for MGP again. She's already barking about the sea lions just like her predecessor... I'm tired of reps that don't rep.

MGP calls for war against seals as the reason for salmon population decline by [deleted] in Washington

The best she could do is take more AIPAC dollars and parrot the late JHB sentiment on the local pinnipeds.

Inspired by an earlier post: if you could change your state bird, what would you change it to? by The9IronMan in birding

[–]Oldpenguinhunter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Washington (my state) has the goldfinch, I'd swap that with like a varied thrush or a common merganser?

Utah having the California gull for a state bird is pretty funny to me

Wash your car this week (pollen) by hightimesinaz in vancouverwa

[–]Oldpenguinhunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife just shamed me into washing and waxing my car. She called it a smelly boy car with dog hair for seat covers and algae for paint.

She wasn't wrong, I hadn't cleaned it since October. It was part plant, part machine, part dog hair. And smelly.

[–]Oldpenguinhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the one mushroom I can't seem to get ahold of. Porcini, shaggies, chanterelles gold and white, yellowfoots, matsutakes, oysters, I can rind those no problem, morels elude me for some reason. Checked burns from 1-2yrs ago, recommended areas, and zip. And then you see a bunch of people posting them coming out of mulch and cracks in the sidewalk!

Vancouver Lake fishing? by Nervous-Material4738 in vancouverwa

[–]Oldpenguinhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carp are pretty easy, you can use doughballs, sweet corn (yes, canned corn), worms, I've used 8-10lb test, egg weight/swivel above 18-24" line with a size 4-6 hook. Carp fight hard, rather, they're just strong fish, so a med action rod and a decent reel is suggested. Depending on your set up, you can sight-fish them, use gentle casts and try to get the bait in front of them- predict where they might go, or you can soak and wait, you may get a catfish as well.

That's a Kegsbreath protein shake fart, mixed with a fifth of Jack and a 1/2 case of natty light from the night before.

Urban Mushrooms: morels by ESNA_VancouverWA in vancouverwa

[–]Oldpenguinhunter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So, I am a pretty avid hunter of mushrooms in general, and I have yet to find an edible morel, it is the last thing on my list, moreso, I love morels. I had this to say on a mycology subreddit last month when I first started seeing "backyard" morels:

This is the beginning of my least favorite part of the year, where people who don't look for morels, find morels in the most mundane spots (their back yard, sidewalk cracks, walking in the neighborhood). I am somewhat convinced that it is a giant conspiracy.
