@jdMyers posted informative and many times entertaining cooks. Not to mention his epic outdoor kitchen build. He's been MIA for a long time too.

Must be still checking in - his profile has him last active in December.

@dmchicago you lurking son of a gun.

Thanks for the shout out. Not so much lurking I just don’t sign out.

I check in to refer back to some of my past cooks for reference.

The forum became a little like ground hog day since I spent most of my time in the political crap.

I made the decision awhile back to limit my participation in online politics because it’s a huge waste of time.

The cooking side is great with many amazing cooks but honestly I only cook about 10 things on my egg and pretty much have those down.

I’m connected with a couple of forum members on FB and get to enjoy their cooking posts there.

Nice to see you pop in. Hope y'all are well.

@dmchicago - In the couple of forum Zoom's over the past few years your absence was noticeable.
Stay healthy and safe out there.

Here I am! (Larry hunted me down.)

What’s up?

How is everyone doing?

Stormbringer · February 12

He's alive!

Bombdiggity!

Thanks Larry! Hi @Sea2Ski

Do you have any recent fishing pics? Walk in fridge action? Livestock stories?

Great to see you dive back in.

lousubcap · February 12

Now that is running submerged and now detected. Welcome back.

Sea2Ski · February 12

In addition to the normal tuna and other usual species when fishing inshore and offshore, we have been dialing in our tilefish game. Got some really productive numbers the last few years.

Tilefish have since become my favorite food fish above all others.

I do have one tuna story.

We were fishing one day and got covered up with bigeye tuna. Went 5 for 8 which if you are not familiar with bigeyes, is an impressive feat. We were surprised ourselves we landed that many. Imagine 8 rods dumping line and the drags screaming. Then trying to keep the lines from rubbing and cutting each other off. It was an epic trip.

But yes - still doing a lot of fishing.

As for livestock - just added a longhorn calf to the family one week ago. Here he is. Now we have to decide to castrate him or not.. sell him or not… Pretty cool that he is 98%+ white. Hopefully he does not get any red patches in like his mom has. White longhorns look great when mature. We should have 2 more born in the next week or so too!

@Stormbringer
was wishing I had your mad photography skills over the summer. Went on a 2+ week trip to Gates of the Arctic national park in AK. The scenery was insane. No space or allowance of extra weight or gear, so made do with the iPhone, but you were on my mind when I was up there.

Two pictures to give a sense of how remote we were. (I could do a 5 page post just on this trip alone.) Those tiny specks in the first picture were our tents on the day we flew in. That was the most crazy and insane trip or thing I have ever done. Still can’t believe we did what we did. 3 years planning, one year unexpected delay, then to have the experience… it still gives me goosebumps.

So there are a few tiny updates showing a few things that I have been up to.

Stormbringer · February 12

@Sea2Ski those are some damn fine photos and would be great to see a 5 page post of your other photos. DId you go there on a package tour?

alaskanassasin · February 12

Wow @Sea2Ski that is the middle of nowhere! Looks like a bush plane on tundra tires operation. Were you guys on a hunting trip?

lousubcap · February 12

What foresight and drive to make that trip happen. Spectacular. Thanks for taking the time to update date us on your incredible experiences.

Sea2Ski · February 12

@Stormbringer it was not a package tour. A buddy of mine asked me if I wanted to go on an adventure and I said yes count me in and then I asked what it was we were going to do.. It was just the two of is. If I had to guess we spent about 500-600 hours planning and that did not include two local 5 Day practice trips and taking a wilderness survival and whitewater class.

@alaskanassasin we were flown in on a float plane. No hunting, but we did fish along the way and have shore side meals.

You guys really want to hear about it in more detail? To get the full effect, it is going to take some time. I do not want to bore you….

please! the boredom bar is pretty low, as evidenced by, well, so soooo sooooo sooooooo much

Sea2Ski · February 13

Okay. I will start working on it.

Serious question do I post it in the off topic forum or do I post it in the egghead forum?

Not to stir up old arguments but I remember lots of debates about OT discussions. not sure how much things have/have not changed.

Sea2Ski · February 13

Okay. Got it. Will get started. It will be a series of posts on the same thread.
