    Drones?

    That is where I was a few years ago. We live on the Missouri and had someone piloting a drone along the shoreline (from a pontoon) a number of times over a couple of months several years ago. Neighbors expressed concern to Burleigh Co Sheriffs dept and their only advice was to not shoot it...

    Property Tax Credit

    If you have not caught the Burleigh County commission meeting from 9/4/24 it is worth watching.

While our home stayed dry due to sandbagging, etc., neighbors that had...

    Fenwick Rods replacement

    Rod handles generally can be replaced. Amount of work involved depends on how the original handle was attached. Often manufacturers use arbors and epoxy paste. If the original is a straight grip such as cork, it is fairly easy. I have replaced original handles with neoprene or Winn Grips...

    Fenwick Rods replacement

    Never had an issue with a Fenwick rod but I have built many custom rods using St. Croix III's & IV's and to my knowledge only 1 rod broken to date (not the fault of the blank) and St. Croix replaced it without question.

    Property Tax Credit

    Voted against the measure last time due to specifics of that measure. I will be a "yes / hell yes" vote this time as the ND legislature continues to prioritize corporate welfare over the citizens of our State. Our property taxes have gone up 39% over the past two years. I consider property...
