    On Order

    The supply chain issues that we are seeing really has shown how weak and at the mercy we are to other countries along with our shipping system. It doesn't matter if your talking trucks or bicycles......they have a ton of different suppliers for all the parts and if you're missing ONE part, you...

    Aftermarket folding hitch?

    Has anyone installed an aftermarket folding hitch on their boat trailer? I am pondering the idea as it will make my storage situation much easier. The process looks very simple, other than I will have to put in flexible brake lines from the actuator to the Y in the trailer. I just worry about...

    Upland hatch?

    What is everyone seeing out there for birds with the dry year? We have land in far north central SD, right on the ND border, so am curious how things look in south central ND? We had a big rain (6") that probably drowned out a few nests. But have been hearing roosters and have seen some...

    Boat Trailer Brake Question

    I have a new to me Shorelandr trailer with UFP A60 hitch actuated brakes and found a few issues. I went through the bearings to repack and found both drums to have a lot of grease in them. The seals looked good, but obviously someone overdid it with the bearing buddies and pushed grease into...

    Sturgis Web Cams

    I know a local highway patrolman and he says that inexperience is the #1 issue right now. Too many trailer queens that don't have many miles under their belts. The curves eat them up all of the hills let alone just the significant level of traffic compared to any normal riding. Leads to a lot...

    Olympics~

    I don't support Rapinoe & any of the political BS. But it sure didn't stop me from enjoying watching the athletes who participated proudly for our country. I don't get how people let bad apples spoil the whole thing. Just like Durant said, act like an American. Many of these athletes chased...

    Sturgis Web Cams

    The scourge of the earth is here again and in force. The bikes showed up big time last Wednesday and things are really busy now. Took a break from it and headed west for a long weekend, a bit of an escape before this week. Not sure what it is about having bikes everywhere, after living in it...

    Water from the Great Lakes or Pacific NW

    This is the elephant in the room nobody is talking about, or not enough. 70% of the water going to Arizona gets used for agriculture. Add in ridiculous subsidies for crops like cotton and they end up watering the desert to grow crops where there should be none. Maybe I should plant some...

    Olympics~

    Instead of the Biles drama, did anyone see the world records in the 400m hurdles last night? Womens was impressive with two breaking the old record. But the Norwegian guy who ran a 45.9 to reset his recent world record by .7 was insane. Other than the top 8 at the Olympics, not many guys can...

    Olympics~

    My view is that they are simply doing a job. Regardless of pay, their job takes them to a place of some influence (right or wrong). I feel they need to do their job and leave all the rest out of it. Go kick butt for America, stand on that podium with the flag being raised, and honor that...

    full body decoys

    I had a friend that did this, sold a ton of Bigfoots to get 18 DSD's. The results, well, we're too hot. Other than early season little sets, the realism didn't matter. He sold them after three years and went to silos. That last year we were running a mixed bag with the DSD's up front...

    retail ammo supply~

    Picked up some target ammo at less than pre pandemic prices this last week. It's coming back, just have to be in the right place at the right time. Closets of ammo must be full for most folks.....LOL!

    Olympics~

    I'll be watching some Olympic events for sure. There are plenty of athletes who are full fledged Americans that will do nothing but honor the country with their successes. Many have worked their tails off for the last 5 years to get there and I respect that. Womens 3000m steeplechase, 1500m...

    Bear Spray

    The thing I think too many people assume is that a bear incident unfolds like a western 12 noon showdown. See bear from a distance, bear sees you, you try to deter, bear comes closer, until you have to shoot or spray. Unfortunately most of the encounters are the opposite and there isn't a lot...

    Camping with dogs/rattle snakes

    I know the opinions are mixed on the rattlesnake vaccine, but my dad's dog had it and was bitten right on the face. She did really well considering and the vet said it was the difference between her making it and not. He totally believes in the shot. Unfortunately you do need a booster every...

    Bear Spray

    For some reason I imagine the scene from Pulp Fiction when Travolta & Jackson get that 6 shooter emptied at them, then look at each other to see that they're not hit, then take care of the guy. I'm guessing that is the bear in most cases with the billy badass handgun shooters (including myself)...

    Zebra Mussels Discovered in Twin Lakes

    They're coming for sure. I think for some lakes it will make the fishing better, some far worse, and some you won't know. Fishing is the smaller part of it. Water intakes and other structures are the real PITA for mussels. We'll pay for that. Geography plays a part in terms of prevention...

    boat issue: what's causing it?

    Did the trim work properly with the engine switch or was it just the throttle switch that caused the issue? I had a similar era BRP trim switch go bad that acted funny in many ways, but the engine switch always worked. If both are doing the same thing, the next step would be to check the...

    Radon Mitigation

    Can anyone tell me why they vent out the side of the house in many cases? I think I could get up into the corner of my garage, then take it up into my garage attic with a couple elbows and out the roof. More pipe should not be enough to hurt the flow. I've seen them countless times ran up the...
