Baked Salmon

If salmon is cooked wrong it tastes yuk yuk yukky. So, any of you that are fortunate enought to have some fresh salmon steaks/fillet’s around here is my favorite way to prepare dah salmon for eating:

Pre heat the oven to 350 deg. F.

Place the fillet on baking pan. Sprinkle finely chopped dried dill, lemon pepper and salt on it.

Allow the fillet to sit for 10 minutes.

Place one table spoon of butter on the fillet and cover the tray with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes and it is ready to be eat. Longer for steaks.

Nuclear Testing in North Korea

Is North Korean technology so out of date that any nuclear weapons they fire might hit an accidental target?

Han Song-Ryol, the North’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations, told South Korea’s Yonhap news agency that the United States must prove whether it wants to peacefully coexist with the communist regime. Mr Yonhap reported that Han Song-Ryol said any sanctions would be an “act of war”.

An earthquake early this morning in Japan set off rumors that North Korea had conducted a second nuclear test.

Timeline of North Korea

Now how about Donald Rumsfeld’s involvement in North Korea’s nuclear path building two nuclear nuclear light water reactors? Here’s a 2003 Fortune article on the subject.

Nuclear Power Generation and Fuel Cycle Report (1997) :

“Current Status: North Korea has no nuclear plants, but in
December 1995, the Korean Peninsula Energy Development
Organization (KEDO) signed a contract to provide
two light water reactors to a site at Pyongyang. KEDO is 37
a multi-national body consisting of three membersā€”Japan,
South Korea, and the United States, with the European
Union considering active participation.”

Footprints and Bass

Back from visiting our friend in Anderson and a fun filled fishing trip on Lake Shasta. I caught my first intentional bass. I have caught some small ones unintentionally while fishing on the Sutter Bypass for catfish. But this weekend I caught my first legal sized honest to gosh bass! After hours on the lake while our friend most excellently powered her father’s bass boat around in awful winds, over white cap waves, and avoided numerous ski boats manned by idiots – we caught bass.

Other trip highlights include a story – the beginning and middle omitted -the end result – me floating off alone – in a bass boatĀ  . ..Ā  that I could not start.

I did catch the smallest bass:
