    M1, yea or nay?

    After sitting through a quick 5 min pro M1 presentation, I initially thought sure sounds good. But not being really smart about things like this I asked a good friend who works in politics in the state what his thoughts were. The take away from his rant was it doesn't do enough for campaign...

    Crawfish

    I caught quite a few in the bwca one time and steamed them up in my percolator. They were not that large, and they didn't taste great but I didn't season them or anything. It was a great one-time experience.

    Sand or gravel in water pump

    1-2 times a year I notice my water pump slows way down. If I am on the water and concerned I go with the wire trick 90% of the time that does it.
