    Adult beverage talk

    I’ll probab look like an alcoholic but I like a variety. Just started stocking the camper Tonight, raised the downstairs bar for the initial fill but still need to make a run to the liquor store. For the boat it’s either beer or premixed margarita mix. They make a handful of flavors, pour it...

    Evinrude G2 250 HO going on my pontoon!

    Rizzo, What part of math don't you understand? It's calculated the same way. I'm relying on the Engines ECU which is providing extremely precise pulses of fuel to the injectors. I could even argue mine is more accurate than yours. Much as I already mentioned, my total gallons used shown on the...

    Evinrude G2 250 HO going on my pontoon!

    Sorry Rizzo, we'll have to agree to disagree. My comment was toward getting 3 mpg at 60 mph on a Ranger 620 with a 250 hp motor, not a 300hp since they aren't rated for that, you might as well quit bringing that one up. It was never part of my comment. An Optimax Pro XS is 275hp just like the...

    Evinrude G2 250 HO going on my pontoon!

    Rizzo, I’d say they compare quiet well. It was implied talking about a 620 which is rated at 250hp. The 250 opti is the same engine as the 225 and the 200 with some tweaks to fuel mapping and a few other minor items. I’m not a Ranger guy, but a 250 pro XS will do it on a Yar-craft 209tfx. And...

    Evinrude G2 250 HO going on my pontoon!

    Wow, 52+ mph is hauling on a big comfy floating couch! that's awesome! - - - Updated - - - Both my 2006 225 Opti on a Yar-craft 1895 Storm & my current 2013 200 Opti on a Yar-Craft 186 will both do right on 3 mpg at WOT. In both cases, the motors both use +-20 gph at WOT and both boats will...

    . New and Improved Gas Cans?

    Yep, I’m completely on board with you! You can buy nice vented metal cans that pour decent for about $80 a piece. I refuse to spend that much money on a a 5 or 6 gallon can. VIP Racing makes some decent ones but you’ll be in for $50 a piece but the time you buy the hose extension and other...

    This Weekend - Sak or Audubon

    I really doubt Audubon or the East End of Sakakawea will be open by the weekend. At best you'll be dodging ice bergs the size of semi's and I don't really think it'll even be broke up by the weekend. As of this morning, it's still within 10ft of the shores and touching several places still...

    Evinrude G2 250 HO going on my pontoon!

    seriously, I hope 3 mpg at WOT (58-60mph) isn’t what the they’re bragging about. Been doing that for more than a decade with 2 different Opti’s!

    Pizza Corner pizzas

    Gotta be honest Johnr, I cann't say making our own is any cheaper than buying frozen from the store. They certainly taste better, cheaper though, probably not.

    Pizza Corner pizzas

    We do Papa Murphys and DiGiorno as far as the better of the home cooked stuff, once in a while we'll make our own from scratch but usually the reason we're having pizza is because it's something quick, easy, and we don't want to cook! or we have a few people sitting at the bar and we want...

    Face Shields

    Just one quick heads up, most of the UV protection shirts and face masks are air/hang dry only. They have some specific washing/drying instructions so they are a little more of a PIA to take care of. I didn't notice that when i bought them and if it wasn't for my wife, I'd wouldn't of thought...

    Face Shields

    Yep, started using one last year as I was pretty terrible about absolutely torching my neck fishing. I was a little apprehensive at first, thought they’d be hot and sticky but in reality they keep you pretty cool. Only time they feel hot is when its 90 or above out and then, just dip them in the...

    Camping

    Hey now, our first camper was a 1987 24' wilderness, rear bunk, front kitchen. No AC, no awning, no slides, had to turn the kitchen table into a bed or pull out the couch if you didn't want to sleep on a bunk and the refer only worked on gas. However coming from a tent, damn we thought we were...

    Camping

    Well, since I grew up camping and have continued throughout my adult life I checked a few of the boxes. I've slept under the stars, tent camped for a handful of years in my younger days, upgraded to a travel trailer, and then to another, and I'm now on my 3rd fifth wheel. Each has it's own...

    Seasonal Campers: Slides in or out?

    I've had a seasonal site for the last 8 years and have done it both ways. when we started with the seasonal site, the camper we had would leak around the rear bunk room slide so I tried leaving it in and out and eventually just left them out as it didn't seem to matter. updated to a Cedar Creek...

    GPS tracking collar

    I have a had a couple collars over my years. Last year when the new pup came home, I thought it was probably time for a new one again. Initially I had in mind a good GPS beeper type collar. I use my beeper on point mode all of the time when hunting which is really awesome in the cattails and...

    Why are trailer bearings lousy?

    I must just be lucky. Over the past decade between boats, campers, sled trailers, equipment trailers and so forth, I've yet to lose a wheel bearing. I did put new ones in one boat trailer and one camper and in both cases I just did it because I was servicing the brakes and they weren't silky...

    Trailer Tire Issues

    The real issue with trailer tires are most come from China which have really poor quality control. The old marathons we’re good. Manufacturing got moved to China and they turned into junk along with all the other China bomb trailer tires. The problem becomes finding trailer tires that aren’t...

    March Blizzards

    Left before it started snowing and drove back to minot at 8pm from grandforks. Didn’t hit any snow until about 10 miles east of rugby at about 6:30, roads got wet just west of rugby and turned to ice from Towner to Minot and from Minot south to our house. Visability was fine unless some jack...
