@maddogbakes.bsky.social Well, I’ve been avoiding social media to protect my sanity, but been baking all the while. I love the lack of politics inherent in the sourdough game… Today’s Mad Dog Bakes, ‘Mystery Cheese’ loaves. Remnants of cheese from holiday parties…
I was born and raised in Mt. Shasta and these log dogs were not used too around our area much as they were mostly used for rafting logs together...
Hey Beth. Great to see you here on the Sky…
Reminiscing about our experience crewing for Balloon Excelcior in the 1982 Gordon Bennet Race. Quite a thrill…

Congratulations Ross. Fly safe and enjoy the ride...
There appears to be a ton of misinformation out there about the interaction of the Blackhawk and the passenger plane. Blancolirio has solid details. Please don't spread info if you don't know the actual facts...

Trout Porn. Years ago, a neighbor of mine, who traveled extensively with weapons, brought these back from Africa as a gift. I never asked him why he packed up rifles whenever he left, as my imagination was far more fun than whatever the truth might have been... #troutporn #mercenary
@bfaballooning.bsky.social great to see BFA on the sky. This is a pic of our first PR piece when we were just starting out. Our company ‘Aerostat’ was a great chapter in our lives… #bfaballooning #sonomavalley #hotairballoon
When we had our retail display company we went to the Outdoor Retailer and the Flyfishing Retailer shows several times a year so now these smaller shows let me stay up on equipment and the biz. I miss having a blue ribbon trout stream minutes from my front door , so still worth the effort for me.
Just booked a room at the Marriott for the Lancaster Flyfishing Show. Small show, but I miss the Outdoor Retailer and Flyfishing Retailer trade shows. Anybody else gonna be there?

Ecowoodie Builds. A peek back in time when we decided to use waste from our furniture production to make something fun... #ecowoodielongboards #reclaimedwood
Ecowood Builds. A simple little Craftsman table influenced by Charles Limbert. Reclaimed Redwood and Douglas Fir….

Holy Cow! Beautiful flies...
Ecowood Builds. Another Uma variant console table awaits finish. Made from reclaimed Redwood tank stock... #reclaimedoldgrowthredwood #ecowood
First snow of the season here on the Right Coast makes me long for a spring trip to my home water at the base of Mt. Shasta... #uppersacramentoriver #mtshasta
No, electrical engineer, but we owned a furniture company specializing in reclaimed wood pieces for outdoor retailer store interiors…
Ecowood Days. I made several versions of the Uma table over the years. Gave them all away for non profit fundraisers. The Redwood in this version has about 30 years growth/inch. Old growth Redwood from Northern California is one of nature’s wonders…. #oldgrowthredwood #umatable #ecowooddesigns
Beautiful work!!!
Trout Porn. Big Lost Creek 'Bow cruising the shallows in Hat Creek Valley... #bidwellranch #troutporn
Ecowood Days. The "Tank Table" was built using old growth Redwood reclaimed from 2 water tanks at Camp Pendelton, originally built in the 40's when you could still source clear Redwood. We build a ton of great furniture from that amazing wood. #camppendelton #oldgrowthredwood #ecowooddisplays
Trout Porn. When you see these little buggers start showing up, good things will be happening in October. Remember, patience is a virtue... #casedcaddis #octobercaddis #uppersac
Ecowood days. Timing is everything. We started Ecowood Displays right before 9/11. We had one large project that didn’t cancel, Stone Canyon Outfitters in Castle Rock, CO. That job kept us going while the world held its breath…

Trout Porn. Remembering the great Joe Kimsey. Quite the character. One of my best fishing trips ever was with Joe on the back side of Mt. Shasta hunting small wild Browns in tiny water. And, those waders and boots. IFKYK...

Hey there Richard. We have G904 and an older 904 and 958. Mt. Shasta native, living somewhere else now, but still missing my cold, clear water of the upper Sac. Also a huge fan of your baby, CFF!! Had every issue since #1...
Trout Porn. My home water just south of Box Canyon. #uppersac #cantarraloop #sacramentoriver
Congrats. It’s a magical mountain. I was born there and she’ll always be a part of me…
Born and raised in Mt Shasta. Fished the Upper Sacramento River since a wee lad. My dad cooked my first trout over a fire on the riverbank. Ted Fay Fly Shop has been a fixture in the area forever. The owner is a good friend and carries on Ted’s legacy…
Our vintage Scott’s are awesome rods when landing big fish on very light tippet. Newer Scott’s don’t have the same action unfortunately. Now using Winston’s for most water…
We did quite a few projects for the NPS and the the vendors in the park. The best time to work in the park is during the winter shut down. No tourists and weather permitting, easy getting around.
Even though it’s been quite a while, I’m still amazed that they gave me the combo into Yellowstone. The park without tourists is spectacular…. #yellowstonenp #westyellowstone
