    Migration 25

    Yep, I saw numerous flocks heading north yesterday over Bismarck. Couldn't help but wonder if those birds knew something I don't, or if they were going to live to regret their decision?

    A.I. Are you Excited?

    Again, I disagree...respectfully. To think that the future homes and commercial properties won't be "printed" is bordering on silly. Concrete printing of homes is already a reality, this expanding into using robotic Ai to plug wiring into pre-planned conduits is a natural progression.

    The Decline of Devils Lake

    I agree with your first statement (note MN regs, they're insane), but can't agree with the rest. We are fishing stocked lakes that absolutely require NDGF intervention to keep those lakes a viable walleye fishery. A person can say that Sak, Oahe, DL and maybe a few other odd lakes have some...

    A.I. Are you Excited?

    Not a big AI fan here, but if you think an electrician (for example), can't be replaced by AI + Robotics, I think you are wrong. All we need to do is depend more and more on plug and play wiring instead of the old school wrapping a wire around a screw and tightening it. That will make...

    Damn....AI about AI. What could go wrong?

    A.I. Are you Excited?

    For someone who claims we won't need, or even be using cash in the near future, he sure has a high salary demand. Makes me wonder if even he believes himself.

    Western ND river ice

    Just a quick FYI to all in western and central ND, if you are one of the adventurous who like to icefish the rivers, we are absolutely experiencing runoff along most of those small rivers, up to and including the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers west of Williston. This is going to be leading to...

    Concealed carry

    They also have a Kimber Micro 9 for $499 at Scheels. I won one recently and opted for a used Smith and Wesson M&P Shield in 9mm, mostly due to how it fit my hand. Kimber firearms are darn nice as I also own a full size 1911 in 9mm from their line of offerings. From Scheels' webpage:

    500,000 acre habitat program

    While I totally get the knee-jerk reaction on access, I agree with those who are convinced it's unworkable in the real world. That's what the PLOTS program is for. There will be a lot fewer people signing up for this if they have to allow access. One good thing though that goes along with the...

    Cheaper Lithium for FFS shuttl

    Oh, and to just remind people...the old lead acid batteries have been known to explode as well due to hydrogen gas when the conditions are right. I've had a couple explode on me over the years when charging. Sure wrecks your clothes.

    Cheaper Lithium for FFS shuttl

    I get the concerns about lithium batteries, wasn't it on here where someone mentioned a person got his legs scorched from battery heated socks? Anyway, there are getting to be a pretty fair number of different chemical formulations for what we collectively refer to as a Lithium battery. It...

    Buying gold and silver.

    That kind of goes to prove my point. Elon can talk about AI and robots doing all these things, but the reality is a Universal Basic Income existence sucks. We already have plenty of examples of this in some form when you take a look at what we did to the Native Americans. The fed government...

    500,000 acre habitat program

    No rancher knows exactly how much hay they will have available, or how many days they will need to feed their herd in a given year. When hay is in short supply, and it is every few years, it gets damn expensive to buy and haul from those who have it in abundance, because it's rarely your...

    500,000 acre habitat program

    I just looked at OnX online and that east-west portion of 7th Ave is 880 yds north of the BLM stuff. Assuming 7th Ave NE is running east-west on a section line means that the BLM stuff is in the middle of the section, so there is indeed no access to the BLM land without permission of the...

    Polaris Ranger Windshield?

    I have a Lexan windshield on my Honda UTV. They don't like high wind when it's hot out. A few years ago on a windy, near 100 degree day I was pulling my UTV on a trailer at about 75 mph into a 30+ mph headwind. And collapsed the windshield. Thankfully, it was so hot that I was able to...

    Buying gold and silver.

    I'd like to place my order for 17 free tons of gold today, thanks!

    NFL News (Vikings)

    Nah, here are the boys 2025 numbers. https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/gamelog/_/id/4433970/jj-mccarthy It would appear he started a few more games than your post claimed, and the team went 6-4 when he started. From there, I could not continue reading your post on his season. I, for one...
