    Property taxes

    The state owns over 700,000 acres of land and over 7,000,000 acres of mineral rights. I believe originally when state land was sold the mineral rights went with the land but when the state ended up getting thousands of acres back from foreclosures in the early 1900's they decided to keep the...

    Property taxes

    At one time state owned land could be brought up for sale by some sort of petition process and if it brought appraised value at auction it was sold. That is why there is very little land owned by the state east of the Missouri River. Good crop land was purchased at auction long ago. Most of...

    Turbo Tax Et al.

    Turbotax still has a free edition but it is no longer part of the IRS Free File program and it is very limited - no itemized deductions among other things. They have long had a bad reputation for some very shady dealings - like encouraging buyers to upgrade needlessly and the IRS requested they...

    Game of Thrones

    For those who like the Wheel of Time kind of adventure books check out some of the stuff Brandon Sanderson has written. He actually finished the final book in the Wheel of Time series when Robert Jordan passed away before finishing it. His Stormlight Archive and Mistborn Trilogy tales are...

    Game of Thrones

    The books were so convoluted and had so many sub plots going that by the fifth book the author could only address half his characters in each new book. It finally got to the point that the TV show couldn't wait for his next book to base their episodes on so they started making up their own...

    Unclaimed property

    Does he have a copy of an income tax return from back then that has his address on it? Maybe that would work as proof of residence.

    Prop Help

    Looking for some information about the prop on my new to me boat. It is a three bladed stainless steel prop on a Evinrude 175 Ficht motor. Boat is a 1999 Lund 1800 Pro V SE. The stamping on the prop is Raker 479E4. It's possible the last figure is an A not a 4 as it's not real clear. I've...

    It's hot

    Saw him unload a Bobcat so I drove over to see if I could help. By the time I got there he had hooked a chain on to the loader and pulled it down. He had a big payloader tire laid in front to cushion the fall but of course nothing ever works the way you plan it and the tractor swiveled on a...

    It's hot

    Got up this morning and looked out my patio doors and thought, "WTF, where's my storage shed?". Looked to the left and there it was in my tree rows. Got no idea when it happened and didn't hear a thing or wake up but it's toast. That thing has stood through 40-70 mph winds many times over the...

    Brush Gun

    Yup they do take sound shots in Minn. I'll never forget my reaction when a friend of mine came back to school (NDSU) after opening weekend deer hunting. I asked him if he got anything and he said no but he did get some 'sound shots'. I asked him what the hell is a sound shout and he said if...

    Tkr x 2

    I managed to get both my knees replaced in my early sixties after years of pain. The improvement in the quality of my life was immeasurable. I wish I could have had it done much sooner but the technology was not there yet. Not all knee replacements go as well as mine did but techniques have...

    Rain

    It was literally a frog drowner all the way from Minneapolis to 20 miles south of Fargo today. Ten miles west of Fargo and I was back in the desert again.

    Onix 10 SI

    I did end up buying the boat and ended up with 2 Onix 10's. The sellers original unit, which he bought 4 or 5 years ago, crashed and froze last year when he tried to install an update. It's totally dead and won't even reboot. He bought a used head unit on E-Bay that works good and he gave me...

    Onix 10 SI

    Going to look at a boat tomorrow that has an Onix 10 SI on it. Anyone know anything about these Humminbird units? Are they any good?

    James River Headwaters

    Looking on Google Earth it looks like the Sheyenne River runs about 10 miles west of the starting point of the James. They both run north for a short distance before turning east then south. Must be a high ridge of land on that neck between the two rivers to keep them apart.

    ATV Mechanic

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. Found a You tube video that said if it isn't a mouse nest it is likely the pilot jet in the carb. Going to see if anyone in the BisMan area has a pilot jet It's a Mikuni with a part #KVM28/486-20. Supposed to be available through Western Powersports...
