I agree with Westy, sounds like a tension thing. but rubbing some oil on the spokes at crossing points may help as well.

to tell cross pattern just count how many times other spokes cross a given spoke from flange to rim. the first cross with 3x can be very close to the flange so don't be fooled.
Thanks, the one at the bottom always tripped me up. This one is 2x. Looks like retensioning fixed the problem. No worries now. Quite a bit of corrosion on the bike so it might be something like that.

Great day.

Shuttled.
Swam in Georgian Bay.
Got a bleeding ear.
Low oil light on the shuttle vehicle.
Drank out of a random pipe coming out of a hill way out in Mennonite country.
Great drive out in the country on dirt roads for 2 hours.



Ice cold water. Will report later if I blow a gasket.


Today's shuttle rig.

My brother hit 35 years sober today. Considering the crack habit he had, that's impressive. Not something anyone saw 35 years ago, that's for damn sure.

In a van.... down by the river
Great day fishing, but the hike in nearly kilt me. It was hot as balls, even at 9K feet.

Nobody at the lake when we arrived. One other dude showed up about 1/2 hour after we did.

Fished for about 2 hours - clouds moved in and the wind picked up... it kinda looked like we might get skunked. But the wind died down after a short while and it was a jackpot. Kid and I both pulled in 8 fish - nice 10-12 inch rookies.

While the kid was casting during the windy bit, he did this:

Although Parachute Adams is a decent choice but I think he would look better and possibly catch more fish (less ears) with a Pale Morning Dunn or a Blue wing olive film critic

Pulling out would have prevented the need to pull that out.

Saw a fisherman "calmly" walking to the bank -> friend's car -> Urgent Care which was likely an hour + drive with what appeared to be a hook in the eye last month.

Just seeing your shot triggered me, I am still freaked out about it.

That may be enough to keep me from EVER fishing, or fishing without eyewear.
