    AAA Insurance

    I've had the premium RV plan for about 5 years. Costs $93 and covers RV towing up to 200 miles plus all the other AAA benefits. I think I've used it nearly every year at least once and had my RV towed twice. The tow truck driver told me the cost to tow my 31' RV from New Salem to my place in...

    Lake Tschisa

    Just curious about why it seems like there is very little discussion here about Lake Tschida? Seems like it should be a tremendous fishing lake with it's size and lots of different structure. Game and Fish stocks over 300,000 walleye fingerlings annually but I almost never hear of anyone...

    Best contour card for Lowrance units

    I guess one question I should have asked is if the Navionics+ comes preloaded on the E-4 can I download it to an SD card and move it to another chartplotter like my E-7 or is it only usable on the unit it was preloaded on?

    Best contour card for Lowrance units

    Thinking of picking up a small second fishfinder mainly to let me know depth and structure while I'm traveling across the lake. Lowrance has a special with a $50 rebate on their Elite-4 HDI CHIRP units and that would fit my needs. I have an Elite-7 HDI up front on the trolling motor and I...

    ND State Wrestling

    Actually I'm related to very few if any Reis', Piatz's, Gross' and Weigel's. My mother was a Sperle and her mother was a Becker. Most had large families and married locally so that ties me to at least half the home growns even though there are not a lot of Sperles left there. The other half...

    Pretty sure I'm related to everyone in Napoleon so I'm probably related to all five who are going. :;:rockit

    A little History on Remington's 870

    Bought my first gun in college in 1970. It was a used/like new 870 Wingmaster Trap grade with the Monte Carlo Stock. Bought it at the Fargo Scheel's store. Can't even guess how many rounds I put through it over the years. Used to shoot 2-300 rounds a week practicing trap back when I thought...

    This Is What Life in North Dakota Looked Like in 1935

    I actually have a neat add-on installed in one of my computers that is a cassette player/recorder. You put the cassette in, start the software and the computer digitally records the sound as the cassette plays. I used it to rerecord many of my music cassettes on to the computer as MP3 files...

    Virus Protection - PCmatic?

    Very good advice. I've used Avast on my computers for years and regularly run Malwarebytes to just to be safe. Also run Adaware software as a backup to Avast. Usually you shouldn't run more than one antivirus program at a time but Avast and Adaware don't seem to conflict with each other...

    Backup Camera Wiper

    Seriously though, could a little cover be rigged on the camera that would flip up when you hit a button/switch and then be closed up after you're done backing up? The cover could be built water and dust tight and maybe even have a clear lid so that you wouldn't have to open it unless it got...

    Dog Food Thread

    That's an honest vet! People who think the more expensive the dog food is the better it is are usually just making themselves feel good while the dog would do just as well on road kill. I'm sure I'll be considered an animal abuser but my dog has been on Walmart's Old Roy Complete dog food...

    Good Deal Alerts

    Dick's Sporting Goods in Bismarck had some pretty good deals this week. Got a pair of Leupold BX-1 Yosemite 8x30's with the Porro Prism design for $104.99. After manufacturer's $25 rebate I'll have about $85 into them. I know they're not top of the line but compared to what I've been using...

    Wings

    You may not believe this but the Walmart hot wings are my favorite. They are not extremely hot but they have a good flavor and a little zing. I'm addicted to them and pick up some nearly every time I shop there.

    Underground dog fence

    My neighbors put one in a couple of years ago and they had a lab that was used to running wild around the neighborhood when ever they let her out. No amount of yelling or chasing would get her home until she was good and ready. They even tried a training collar but she ran so fast that she got...

    Odd mice and how to get rid of them.

    Speaking of the devil! Went to the bathroom last night and one of the little bastards was in my whirlpool tub. Don't know how he got in there but he couldn't jump out so...he died young. Now I need to mouseproof the house again after not having any uninvited rodents for several years...

    3" shells for Pheasant

    Early in the season I like to put a seven and a half game load in first and two 6's behind with a modified choke. Once the birds get wilder and tougher I go two sixes and a 4 in my full choked 870. I always like to get as many BB's in my pattern as possible. Knockdown punch isn't as important...

    whistles vs. voice vs. TT collar vs....???

    My brother and a friend bring their dogs (GWP) when they come to hunt and they drive me nearly insane with their constant whistling trying to keep their undisciplined dogs within 100 yards. Sometimes it sounds like you're in the middle of a covey of refs at a bad football game. The whistles...

    Doves

    Lots of them. The high line wires are full of them next to every sunflower field I passed this last week. Don't know how you would hunt them though as they fly from field to wire to water to tree row, then repeat the next day. They spend most of the day sitting on the wires between feedings.

    OPEC wins

    Ghost, I must be a couple years older than you. I remember filling my pickup in the midst of a gas war for $.19 a gallon at a station on University Drive. I think the name of the station was Bjornsons or something like that. They were known for being the most aggressive pricer during the wars...
