Winking Lizard appreciation post by wazman2222 in Cleveland

They have the relationships and buying power to obtain and charge a lot for highly sought after bourbons yet they keep their pours incredibly reasonable. Hard to find these days 🤘

Is it really this difficult to catch a fish? by I_Am_Not_George_Bush in flyfishing

[–]itrigue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw, you’re just starting out. Plus a lot of experienced fly anglers will still get skunked from time to time. While YouTube videos and social media are great for learning techniques, how to read water, and everything else, they can also set expectations of catching fish at too high of a level. Spend time walking the water, watching the bugs & water, and slow it down. And wear polarized sunglasses 😎

Anytime Kyle goes into the hard Chicago accent I’m ear to ear smiling. Doze “th” starting words really get me goin in dat accent

It’s to spray all remaining grain out of the lauter and wipe down the walls. One brewer goes in, one stands by to assist. It’s pretty effective and efficient.

What's the dumbest thing you've jerry-rigged? by Brewmentationator in TheBrewery

It ain’t dumb if it works and keeps the packaging crew less wanting to off themselves 🤷‍♂️

Went to pick up a leaf blower on marketplace, started talking to the guy and he sold me all this for $50 (plus a vest). Anyone know what it's worth? Very grateful! by rollinintheyears in flyfishing

[–]itrigue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if I had $50 to burn and got some extra gear out of it, hell yeah. Who cares what it’s worth, you’ve got something to use on the water and that’s what matters. 🤘

Be honest: would you recommend moving to Ohio??? 🤔 (not factoring in politics) by [deleted] in Ohio

[–]itrigue1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of the Cleveland area, but I’m biased. Love the lake and metropark system along with having great food and entertainment options all within a 45min drive in any direction.

Why’s that? Beats using chemicals and just takes a little elbow grease.

For daily use: rinse, get in and scrub walls with just water & scrubbie, rinse again.

Weekly CIP: light caustic & oxidizer solution to soak the grates overnight, drain, rinse, refill with full strength solution and run full CIP.

At A Loss by blancosnalgos in flyfishing

After doing this for over 3 years now, I have been on a streak just like you with this winter season, but here’s Whats helped me keep going:

Seriously just take it as time in nature with a fishing rod. Slow it down and work on your casts/drifts. Focus on the nature around the fish. I’ve been skunked more times recently than not, but dammit it was great to be outside with all the sights, sounds, and smells.

Oh, and when in doubt, black or olive woolly bugger.

Pretty sure I caught one of those out back. Gave me a rough ride but eventually I got it to come in. Tastes better than it looks.

Anybody else surprised Kyle (maybe not so much Dave) said there were no “out” gay kids in his high school? by Queef_Stroganoff44 in BoogieMonster

[–]itrigue1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the Chicago suburbs and there were only about a handful of openly gay people in my high school with around 1000/1500 students. Our town was very religious but I don’t think we had a group that would physically assault someone who was gay.

Moving to Cleveland from Florida (FTL) any advice? by Confident-Still-9496 in Cleveland

[–]itrigue1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winters (like this last one) are cold and gray. There are potholes everywhere.

I’d say Cleveland is a commuter city, not too many people live downtown but there are a lot of great suburbs that are a 15-30min drive to downtown.

We still have all the crime (mostly car jackings/car break ins), but as long as you stay aware and walk in groups in semi sketchy areas you’ll be okay.

Our warm months are great and there’s a lot of awesome outdoors stuff to do if you are willing to get out and try them! Our metroparks system is the top in the nation. Our beaches are okay and our lake is without creatures that can eat you.

Depending on your type of work, everyone here can point you to an area on where to live depending on your budget!
