I sent a water sample away for an environmental DNA test on my local brook and I was surprised what lives in there. cagrimmett.com/2026/09/13/w...

I made a pound of alubia blanca beans yesterday so I could work them into our weeknight meals. First up: Tomato and white bean panzanella. cagrimmett.com/2026/08/24/w...

I think of this every time I see Dude Wipes: The small founding team was behind me in line for four hours at Franklin BBQ in Austin in 2015 and they were super chill. We chatted off and on the whole time and they gave me many cold beers from their cooler starting at 8am. We had a great time.

Something awesome about Bluesky: 1. I see a post I'd like to load in my agent. 2. "wouldn't it be nice if I could give it the atproto link?" 3. Wait, markdown would be better, let's try renaming the domain to bsky.md on the off-chance… 4. It works 🤯

First of the garden radishes.

Fired up the pizza oven to make some flatbreads. Charlie is getting good at turning them.

What a delight to find another stream with native brook trout close to home! #tenkara #flyfishing cagrimmett.com/2026/05/05/b...

Some time at the vise.

A nice Jack in the Pulpit I noticed this afternoon.

Thanks to @jcguarneri.bsky.social's @tenkaraangler.bsky.social article, I found some Cinnamon Ferns and collected zenmai to some kebari with!

Today during our Trout in the Classroom macroinvertebrate sampling we had something very cool happen. Dozens of tiny BWOs emerged right in our sample bins! It was great to be able to show the students this happening in realtime.

The cat loved it.

Took some water samples today for eDNA testing. Saw some bloodroot and Jack in the Pulpit.

Deceivers and Clousers. #flytying #stripedbass

In this house, we use the outdoor pressure release method.

Charlie's school had an Earth Day event today and I set up a table on conserving brook trout, New York's state fish, and the only trout native to the eastern US. cagrimmett.com/2026/04/23/b... #flyfishing
