    So, If gas hits 5 a gal this summer...

    Yah, the only people who use my jet-ski are the grandkids. If you drive them nice it only uses about 6 g/h.:;:huh But I'm also one who always tells my wife "You don't see any U-hauls behind a hearse." Getting to the age where I don't buy green bananas so I'll just grin and bear it and let them...

    Gun Builds Being Contemplated

    Have wondered what has been tried with the well-known .270Win. Has anyone ever tried a 1/7 or 1/8 twist barrel. I have been shooting "My Gun" a .270 Rem 700 since 1964. Still shoots well and it just feels good in my hands. Have a couple other rifles but they don't feel quite the same even though...

    Ribs In Beer

    I always thought an additional benefit of smoking any kind of food was the time available to have a beer, or beers, while tending the smoker.

    who's going to the super bowl?

    Liked the game. Wasn't high scoring but I'm a defense fan. both teams played some solid defense. Half time? I must not listen to enough rap because during the whole show, which I watched while getting and eating some supper, I don't know if I actually understood more than a dozen words. It's...

    Zeroing .22 LR

    I guess I failed to see the actual comparison. Isn't it reasonable to expect a 1/2" group at 50 yds to be 1" at 100. And the same 1/2" group at 50 to be 2 in the same hole plus a possible flyer at 25 yds isn't bad. Quite honestly, and I don't shoot a lot of .22, I would have thought his grouping...

    Ohio mayor says ice fishing leads to prostitution

    I wonder if this mayor wishes he had never brought up the subject. A classic example of "Make sure your brain is in gear before engaging clutch to your mouth."

    Shop/man cave project

    First 2 things that come to my mind are 1) Cost and 2) ease of finishing the inside. After that make sure you either finish it the way you want or at least have a plan for easy finish later. I know cost is important but I've done a couple of projects that I cut corners on and later regretted...

    Olympics?

    Normally watch a lot of he Olympics but very little this year. Just doesn't have the appeal with no fans and little excitement. Add in that it's in China and that lessens the appeal a great deal. The young lady who is competing for the Chinese, haven't seen her at all, or any of the skating for...

    Ohio mayor says ice fishing leads to prostitution

    Not sure a prostitute would be interested in entering my fish house. Every time my wife comes in her first comment is "What's that smell in here?"

    ND Game and Fish stats

    Years ago, early to mid 70's, a group of us were hunting deer late in the archery season. Snow was crotch deep so we were getting around on snowmobiles. I had hit a deer during a drive and then tracked it onto a refuge. Got back to my pickup and a warden that i knew very well was sitting there...

    who's going to the super bowl?

    I'll be watching. The past two weekends of playoffs have been really good FB to me. Of the 6 games, 4 were won with last minute, or second, FG's and the other 2 with overtime game winning TD's. Very few turnovers except for a couple interceptions that weren't necessarily bad passes but more of...

    who's going to the super bowl?

    There are some advantages to attending the game in person. 1) You will not see any of the commercials. 2. If you wave someone will actually bring you a beer (at a cost that will seem like peanuts after paying for the tickets.)

    Apache Trout

    To each their own but it's hard to imagine the fun of catching finger size fish. Wonder what size the record fish is? Guess it's no different than us who have to have a 170+ whitetail or mulie to think it's a trophy compared to a 100+ Coues or Sitka Blacktail.

    Holy Cow are the Canuks Angry!!

    From my experience with Canada, and prior to Covid I traveled back and forth quite a bit, I find that there is a huge difference between western (west of Winnipeg) and eastern (east of Winnipeg) Canada. Western Canada is very similar to US from my experience. As for health care, yeah, it's...

    Spreadsheet question

    I've never been very good at a hobby related to collecting anything. I've often wondered how many dollars at today's values I've gone through using baseball cards in the spokes of my bike when young so it sounded like a motorcycle. Pretty sure I shredded some that would be worth something today...

    Rabbits ???

    Hunted cottontail rabbits when younger and they are very good eating as would be the squirrels. The ones in my yard are more pets than table-fare at this point so not interested it trapping or hunting as they don't create a problem. Have deer come into the food I put out before Christmas and...

    Rabbits ???

    Make sure you have your furbearer's permit before you trap.:;:cheers I have rabbits come into my corn during the dark. Squirrels are pretty thick during the daylight. Of course they do seem to like when I dump some corn every few days. Also have a few Blue Jays, They are not a very sociable...
