Random Word: Down

Image
Today, I happen to be associating with other departments during a few work-related tasks and I asked one of them to give me a random word.  Today's word is DOWN.  As always, I will briefly define the word, then discuss how that word applies to tabletop gaming, fishing, and 3D printing. There are many definitions related to the word down.  I will use the first one from the Merrian-Webster Dictionary.  Down is defined as: Definition of down (Entry 1 of 8) 1a(1): toward or in a lower physical position, Don't look down.  Pull down the blind. (2): to a lying or sitting position.  Please sit down.

A Beautiful Fishing Lure "Mess"

Image
  Tonight was a fun little adventure.  I made a "mess" on my table with all of my fishing lure parts, past lure projects, and future lure projects.  Now that it's all cleaned up, repacked into flat plastic sorters and stored in a reused Amazon box, my table is now clean and the Mrs. won't be too aggravated ... unless I dropped a bead or hook i'm not aware of and she stepped on it. I'd like to do a blog post to recap the video and consolidate some of my ideas in an effort to formulate more lure making content in the (hopefully near) future. A link to the video in question  here! First, my camera skills with my phone are atrocious.  I have some smaller off-brand GoPro cameras with mounting equipment and such.  In hindsight, I should have used that equipment instead of my Galaxy 9 smartphone.  (It still works, the OS still updates, don't judge).   I also needs to work on my verbose, but this was an impromptu video, so cut me some slack.

  SUMMIT / PAXON LAKE TRIP PLANNING  2022 Thanks for stopping by to read my blog.  If your looking for some ideas for a fishing trip to Summit / Paxon Lake area, hopefully my ideas can help you out.   Please note that I've never been to this region before, so everything is pure research, map spots, and leaning on all of my other fishing experiences in other parts of the state.  I intended on going in 2021, but the trip has been delayed until this year, 2022. I'll break my post down to three distinct points: *  Locations *  Time of year *  Gear taken  Locations Paxon Lake         ADFG: Paxon Lake Summit Lake      ADFG: Summit Lake (Paxon) From map spotting, you will reach Summit Lake first, followed by Paxon Lake when traveling from Interior Alaska, passing through Delta Junction, going south along the Richardson, over the mountains, and then you're there.  Hwy 8 that connects the region to Cantwe...
