    ATV Mechanic

    Fired up the old 2001 Bombardier (Can Am) Traxter yesterday and it doesn't want to run right. Dies out when you push the choke in so I'm assuming it will need carb work. Had SeaFoam and Stabil in it over the winter with non-ethanol gas but it still starts hard and won't idle. Anyone have a...

    Who remembers~

    No I wasn't making a political statement like all your posts are. I'm saying I'm living in the good old days right now and I would never want to go back in time. Those of you who think the world is coming to an end simply because a politician you don't like is in office don't realize how well...

    Who remembers~

    I certainly wouldn't call having to get up at 5 AM to milk cows by hand so you could get done in time to go to school where the nuns told you that you were going to hell the 'Good Old Days'. Cleaning calf pens and chicken coops with a 4 tined fork in the middle of the hot summer, cleaning...

    Lynx

    Really pissed off racoons will make a sound that will open your sphincter too. In the middle of the night one time I was woke up by a sound that raised every hair on my body. I was actually afraid to look out the door it was so freaky. Sounded like someone was torturing a cat in some terrible...

    Kicker motor speed control

    Planning on buying a Tohatsu 9.8 kicker motor this spring and looked on the internet for speed controls for it. All I found was ControlKing and TrollMaster units. Does anyone have any experience with either of these two brands? ControlKing is about $250 and TrollMaster is about $280. Is...

    Old guys, Reflections

    What was the name of the town where you heard the speaker and what year was it. I know a group of people who could answer that in a few minutes if I have the right details.

    Minimum Wages

    Kangaroo isn't bad. Little tough and dry if it isn't made right. Camel tastes like very bad beef. Was going to try Emu and Crocodile but they only had camel and kangaroo the night we ate there. They alternate one night camel and kangaroo then the next night emu and crocodile. The kangaroos...

    Minimum Wages

    When I was in Australia in 2005 my niece was working as a waitress in a restaurant. She told us not to leave tips because the waiters and waitresses were paid $27 an hour and people were not expected to leave tips. Stuff like food and gas were higher priced than in the U.S. but when you...

    backup camera

    Just bought this one a few days ago. Really good reviews on Amazon and impressive videos on YouTube. Haven't had time to hook it up yet but it looks like a quality product when I opened it up on arrival. Bought a 40' extension cable because I want to mount it on the back of my 5th wheel...

    Lake george kidder county

    It was a very popular swimming and picnicing lake back in the early 1900's. One of my uncles drowned there in 1933 when he and a group of friends were partying there. He was 19. The rumor at that time was that the lake had no bottom because no one had a rope long enough to reach the bottom.

    Boat towing question

    I have a 3/4 ton HD Duramax for heavy hauling but it's overkill for the boat. I'm looking at the Subaru as a replacement for the Toyota RAV 4 I use for around town and was just wondering if it would pull the boat. I thought I could get rid of the Suburban if the Outback can pull the boat and...

    Boat towing question

    I'm looking to upgrade to a newer small SUV/Wagon and have found a 2018 Subaru Outback that seems to fit the bill. I hadn't intended to use it to tow my boat but after doing some research I see it has a tow rating of 2700# with a tongue weight of 200#. Engine HP is rated at 175 which I'm...

    Thansgiving Day Raccoon Roast Anyone?

    My neighbor used to invite a few of us over every year for a wild game feed. We all donated different game and his daughter and wife would cook them up. I had trouble with coons in my feed shed one year and he asked me to live trap a couple for him which I did. We had them that fall. He...

    Computer question

    Been using Avast Free version for years. Highly rated and easy to stay up to date although they beg you to upgrade to the paid version every once in a while. For what I need it's more than enough. I run CC Cleaner and Malwarebytes every once in a while just to check to turn off junk that...

    East Devil's Lake - Any help is greatly appreciated

    Who elected you the representative for how people on this site think. Just because you don't like people from southern California doesn't mean everyone else feels that way. I'll grant calling you an asshole was a bit harsh but your post was asinine. Just because you offered fishing advice...

    East Devil's Lake - Any help is greatly appreciated

    Always some asshole on this site trying to turn every post into a political commentary. Don't pay any attention to that, people from southern California are as welcome here as anyone else. Good luck and good fishing.

    Coyote hunting Mackenzie county

    Pick up a PLOTS book or go to their web site. It will show all the state and federal land and PLOTS land open to hunting. Lots of land open to hunting out there. Use Google Earth to zoom in on parcels to find roads and trails for access to those hard to find spots. Google Earth has saved me...

    Homeowners insurance recommendations

    I also have Nodak insurance and have been very happy with the way they have treated me. Moved into my new house in 2002 and had a big hail claim before I even paid my first premium. I've had 3 or 4 big hail and wind claims since 2002 on my buildings and vehicles and they paid fast and very...

    Boat mechanic

    I've got a 1976 Mercury 9.8 hp kicker that probably needs a lower crankcase seal. An recommendations of mechanics in the BisMan area? I'm afraid it will cost more to fix than the motor is worth.
