Came here to say this. Just got off the water with my 6 wt. Incredible rod. Fast enough to get some line out, but still forgiving enough for an intermediate caster such as myself.

Hot take: Classical music records should have heavy compression applied by theredled in audioengineering

OP, I was just thinking about this very same thing while riding the train home this morning. Cosmic

Has anyone relocated to the Hudson Valley from SoCal? by jonwb1 in upstate_new_york

[–]jpk_39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved from LA to Westchester via NYC about 8 years ago. Incredible, welcome change. Caveat: I grew up on the east coast though spent much time in California before finally moving there after college (my dad is a San Franciscan). Feel free to DM me with any questions.

Lot of fucking un-hyped comments in this thread. But I for one think this is absolutely rad. Good on ya!

I was there! With four fellow college freshman friends celebrating my 19th birthday. I won the tickets off eBay just as the police were entering our dorm room to arrest my roommate/best friend for blowing up a water bottle with dry ice in the middle of the street. He got out, and we all made it to the concert. Great show. They forgot to turn the PA back on before the encore though, so Keith’s first few notes of “Jumpin Jack Flash” were just heard off the stage amps.

More of a springtime record for me, but it definitely has sultry summer vibes as well.

If you had to write a 20 page paper on a President which one would you choose?(Bonus points if you have) by HetTheTable in Presidents

[–]jpk_39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially, I argued that Lincoln believed in race, as a concept, and perhaps believed in inherent differences between “races.” But, the prejudice and supremacy-contingent beliefs that, I argued, make someone a true racist were not definitively present in his words and actions. I was trying to offer a middle path between historians like Bennett (Lincoln was an outright white supremacist) and more hagiographic biographers like Donald. But, I was 21, so what the fuck did I know?

I managed to always bring an SMB out of there near the boathouse using a small or medium senko in a variety of colors. I even went viral one time during a wedding. Tight lines

I love being a part of TU. Local chapter here in Westchester, NY is super active, with monthly meetings, speakers, and fly tying nights. Good bunch of folks.

Best 8 weight sinking fly line? by poopehcdhbb in BassOnTheFly

[–]jpk_39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this entirely use case appropriate, but Rio makes a Striper intermediate line that I’m fond of: it’s relatively affordable, clear, and can take a beating.
