Anime | Manga / Ranking of Kings

Ranking of Kings

The anime is low quality, however it is full of powerful emotional motifs.  More of a developing drama in the make than most.  The first episode is only so so, but one can get the feel of the developing plot.  The second episode provides more substance and it where it really gives purpose to this story.

Anime | Manga / Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

Whoah this one is pretty good.  At first I thought it might be a predictable side story regurgitation, but it is definitely for mature viewers.  Anime quality is only average but the twist a plot is definitely a thriller theme.  One thing about this anime is that the ending of each episode does not leave you hanging.  It does come to a good conclusion and also leaves you looking forward to what the next episode will introduce.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Fishing Reports

« on: April 14, 2022, 09:03:11 AM »

Went down to the St. Croix today.  It's windy, snowing and cloudy.  Temps was freezing with the wind too about 28F degrees.

Well the water level is up and a lot of floating debris from the flooded shoreline.  Of course all the trees and downed timber made it impossible to cast worth anything.  All the  floating debris also meant that every cast you're hooked over something floating.  Mostly dead shoreline grass and other dead vegetation.  So nothing biting.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Ice fishing is Nice wishing

« on: September 05, 2021, 12:39:30 AM »

Ah all summer long, all I think was ice fishing.  That simple minded idea of pulling up a fish at your feet through a hole in the ice.  It's just so satisfying.

Although it does take some work to find fish.  Sometimes it's just luck, drill a hole in the ice and boom fish are biting.  Sometimes it's no luck, and it's just wasting time out there.

So it helps to get a few gears together to enjoy the time and peace of the tranquility of snowfall on the shelter roof, bare the freezing windy conditions, and just sit in that camping chair and doze off.  Let's see what this next season will bring us.  What's the latest gear?  What's the latest gossip?

And always, the best'est secret'est fishing lure or techniques.  The big fish stories, whether they be true or full of embellishment.  Or the tried and true methods of old will always produce.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / New fishing reel

« on: August 25, 2021, 04:18:48 PM »

Gosh I tell myself I have no need for it.  However with just a few mouse clicks, I went a ordered a new reel.  D'uh D'oh D'ang.  I guess all that time not fishing, means I'll just spin the reel at home for no apparent reason.  Just to have it.  Shimano shenanigans.  Twin power wins.

And to date, since my Curado BFS reel finally got delivered about a month ago, I still haven't even put line on that reel.

Outdoors & Recreational Hobbies / Eskimo Outbreak 250XD

« on: December 11, 2020, 02:03:08 AM »

Heck ya...So I bought this new tent.  No, it's actually an ice fishing shelter.  This is gonna be how ice fishing will be done.  Now I just gotta go check out if my heater will still work.  New for Eskimo shelter this year is their new insulated fabric called Storm Shield.  The best thing is that one no longer see those pinhole quilted welded/stitching that defeats the purpose of insulation.  The best thing about this Outbreak 250XD is the big door that somehow ice fishing shelter has long forgotten.  Yeah I had big doors on the old Clam 1060 and that was awesome.  Well the big door on the Eskimo here is that like a door and nothing to trip over on the floor.  Well the only thing that Eskimo really needs to work on is getting some cross bars onto the door frame.

However with this warm weather we've been having and lack of snow on the ground...well looks a lot like there's not going to be much ice fishing.

Health & Fitness / Ringing in my head/ears

« on: August 10, 2020, 12:09:10 PM »

There's always this thing I wonder why is there a random ringing in my ears or head.  Now there's a medical condition called Tinnitus.

However what does it really mean when one actually hears a high pitch frequency sound?  Like as in dog's hearing and then reacting to it.  Well there is sometimes such an audible high pitch frequency that some hear while others do not.  There is such a medical condition of tinnitus.  I wonder when is it one or the other at times.

I've heard high pitch sound while someone operates electrical devices.  There's evident of being close to such a device and usually when one gets used to the sound, one often tunes out the background noise as noise.  How then is in most instances covering one's ears will often reduce it.  Now when it does nothing at all and clearly isn't sound related, how does one know if it is? 

So just today, for the first time, I heard a ringing.  Now only this time I plugged my ears to check as usual.  It had no effect whatsoever.  It almost appears to be from withing my head that I'm picking up this ringing frequency.  I also sort of felt the presence of and exterior electrical type of unit operating.  Maybe a passing UFO or satellite or drone?
