    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    My good plumbing friend says that heat tape will rapidly deteriorate the integrity of PVC pipe making it brittle and subject to breaking so he absolutely does not recommend that. His solution is a homemade sewer skewer, or the www.frostfreesewervent.com device. I personally after last weeks cold...

    Advice Fox Red Labs

    Ill second Torgs labs as I had one of them. I lost him at the age of 4 to a freak accident but he was very smart, very mildly tempered and a great house dog as well as hunter.

    Photogs

    Save to a PC and put on a couple thumb drives, one for the safety deposit box and one for at home. USB will always be compatible, at the very least with an adapter piece. CD disc drives may be harder to come by in a few years.

    Does anyone know if Spartan Firearms in Minot does barrel threading? If so, any personal experiences?

    Tire Question

    There is a place off main ave in Bismarck that has nothing but used tires, hundreds of them, my dad was able to go there, have them measure the tire circumference and tread depth and find a same brand tire with the same specs to replace some belting that let go on the sidewall. I can concur...

    Lakemaster v5 vs. v6

    Just at the beginning of the month, I've been waiting patiently for them to hit the store shelves, but its sure taking a minute. Story also is that the 1.0 version does include the new mapping of Sak, I know someone who had to go re-map a few areas for Lakemaster and he will get a new 2.0 for...

    Lakemaster v5 vs. v6

    Interestingly enough, Lakemaster has released a new chip as of today. It'll be interesting to see if any changes come about with the contours: Story: http://links.email.johnsonoutdoors.com/servlet/MailView?ms=ODc2MTc4NwS2&r=MjY3NjcwNDg2NDA2S0&j=MTYwMDA3MDQ2NQS2&mt=1&rt=0 Chip...

    Remote drain plug

    Yar-Craft is installing the flow-rite at factory now, and TBH, I hate it. Even with copious amounts of cleaning and Vaseline, it truly never seems to want to release, I have to pull it with a pliers every time. I'm ready for them to go back to a manual plug again.

    Lakemaster v5 vs. v6

    Lakemaster produces 3 chips, if you have a Lakemaster Plus V2.0, you have the current chip with added satellite imagery for non water areas. If you have a standard Lakemaster V6.0, that is also the current version but without the satellite imagery features. There is also a SmartStrike version...

    Possible prop change?

    The Lund 186GL/200 merc combos should have come factory with a 19p Enertia or Tempest, with mine, I found a 18P Enertia to be about the best, I would have loved a 18P Tempest but they only go in odd sizes. I finally came to grips with the cadillac ride and the fact that it is a very heavy boat...

    ANuS Sniffers

    Likely the reason for an early press release, between the media outlets talking about it and the "threat" of them being at the tournament, awareness will help to be preventative in this case. Probably a better tactic then their less than stellar approach to ANS leading up to this point. I'm all...

    trolling motor speeds

    Morning! You should be able to see speeds north of 2.5mph easily enough, especially in the conditions you described. That motor is meant to yank around even the biggest of walleye rigs. I would disconnect and load test each battery individually. While it may show full voltage, the reserve may...

    Sportsmans rummage sale this weekend

    Garrison is playing host to the long running sportsman's rummage sale usually held in Minot every year. Due to the spring snow storms we were not able to host this in Minot in April as originally planned! For those that don't know, this is a 29 year running rummage sale catering only to...

    Access onto the lake at Steinke Bay

    The access off the low water boat ramp in the SE corner of the campground is nearly level, nothing to it at all. It was about as easy as it could get last Saturday. My only worry would be what the warm wind and melting did yesterday. It was nearly 50deg in Garrison.

    EHD

    Its bad in 3A3 like posted above, I live in Garrison and spotted at least 6 in my pheasant travels north and west yesterday. A GNF source I visited with found 5 in one area while hunting and said all were dead in the last 48hrs. He mentioned to me about the GNF Mortality Report and asked to...

    Mystery Post

    I would say old telecom cable marker, we use that format. SS=Route out of town 330S=Pedestal Number LP6B = Load Point 6B 156N = Township I bet if you dug around the base you would find some old copper cables cut off.

    Must have Pontoon accessories

    Thanks for the suggestions guys, all very helpful. Time is what he wants most, why he went so big so all of us can be on it with him. Just looking for something to put the finishing touches on it. Boat hook and bumpers will probably be near the top of the list.
