    busted skag

    OB lower units have skegs. I think a skag is something else. Kind of like boat trailers have winches, but once in a while they also have a wench to turn the winch.

    Packing Heat when fishing?

    Before considering a firearm to stop a simple (no threat to your health or life) theft, consider that it will cost you about $50,000 in legal fees if it's found to be a justifiable use of a firearm. I don't own a vehicle with a book value that high. I love my flat screen TV, but it's not worth...

    propane RV water heater question

    Propane is potentially explosive. Take it to an RV dealership. Propane lines aren't a good place for amateurs. Get advice from a certified technician.

    What is your favorite cajun spice?

    I was once fed some pike prepared like blackend redfish. The spice was bought at a Space Aliens restaurant. It was wonderful.

    Camper Ignorant.....What do I need to know?

    Check EVERYTHING for faults while the camper is still at the dealership. Put some water in the fresh tank and test the water system pump and lines. Slide outs are commonly troublesome. So are batteries,generators, refrigerators, AC, & water and drain line connections. Do the stove burners...

    Try an internet search for "SD shooting ranges". A number of shooting organizations have maps of public/private clubs and ranges for most states.

    Deer rifle for the Mrs.

    Stock fit is very important. Game animals aren't like paper targets or prairie dogs that allow lots of time to find the sights. Her eye should line up with a scope with her cheek held firmly on the comb. (I can't use a Remington with a cheek piece because of my chubby face.) Length of pull...

    Cabin rental suggestions.

    With the choices you gave, I'd go to NE SD. MN has 10,000 lakes, 5,000,000 fishermen, and 5,000 fish left. Seriously, do your homework. If the resort has a website and fishing is important, look at the photos in their photo gallery. Maybe those good catches were 20 years ago, the clothing...

    hail in devils lake

    Dry ice can pop out hail dents. But it must be done on a hot day and the steel should be "fry an egg" hot.

    Lease or buy? need your opinions guys.

    Choose whichever one the salesman doesn't try to talk you into. He's not your checking account's friend.

    Scales

    On your way to the tackle shop, stop at a grocery store. Buy 5# of sugar and 10# of flour. Each will weigh a tiny bit more than the advertised weight due to packaging and the maker being sure the customer can't accuse them of shorting the customer. You can now test the scale the salesperson...

    Dog urine killing yard?

    It's the nitrogen in the urine. When the grass finally comes back, it will be darker green than the rest of the lawn. Don't fertilize the dead areas, they already have too much nitrogen. An application of gypsum can help a little, but prevention is better than any cure. The easiest...

    Leica Rangefinders

    I bought a 900 after the 1200 hit the market from Camerlandny at a very good discount. I've had it a few years without problems. I do remove the battery when I won't be using it for more than a few days.

    Hidden Rough Fish Delicacies

    I used to have a neighbor whose wife was into gourmet cooking. He caught a drum and she prepared it like redfish are fried around the Gulf Coast. They claimed freshwater drum was better than the saltwater variety. He had orders from home to keep any drum he caught. Just search for a...

    Your "Fish On" Expressions

    I won't yell "Get the Frabil" or "Ho-ho-ho" the whole time the fish is on the hook. I might mention I need the net, but not loud enough to call pirates. And when the fish in in the boat, I won't say "Let me tell you what."

    Out of State Hunts

    The size of MB bears is better with outfitters whose territory is close to a park. The highest concentration of black bear anywhere in North America is around Dauphine, MB. Riding Mt. Natnl Park to the south, Duck Mt. Prov. Park to the north. Mosquitoes and biting flies can be bad in mid-May...

    Chrono or not?

    A chronograph will be of a lot of value to any handloader. Velocity is proportional to pressure, so if your handload in your rifle reaches the published velocity, it's time to quit adding powder. It's also nice to know the velocity, therefore trajectory, of accurate loads. Standard deviation...

    Getting hosed on Optical warranty repair

    I'm of the opinion that refurbished is often better than the original assembly line product. I've had repaired binoculars returned sharper than when bought new, and have purchased refurbished laptops (seller had to replace one battery after purchase) and a gas-powered weed eater. I now...
