    How low did you go?

    Do all yourselves a favor and keep this in mind to (possibly) save some money from an HVAC company dude like me: 1) Check your exhaust/intake vents. You would NOT believe how many folks call with furnaces/boilers out and it's because there's a 4' drift covering their vents. 2) Same goes for...

    So I bought some land...

    Figure out if there's any drain tile, then plug it up. I'd find the low areas and see if they can be excavated a bit. Getting a permanent or semi-permanent pond/s there would help a lot with biodiversity. I don't think you can go wrong with grasses. As much as possible. Wildflowers? Pretty...

    Thanksgiving Dinner - Any Shake-ups?

    We're mixing it up. I'm making ruffed grouse, woodcock, and turkey legs. The women folks are handling the fixins'

    Cheers!!!!

    My uncle said I could hunt his property in MN for the next four days to try and get some venison. If I strike out, I'm definitely partaking in some adult self medicating. If I succeed, I'll also partake in some adult self medicating. Either way, I'm covered ;)

    Water Heaters: Tankless vs Traditional

    Every home is different obviously, but I don't think it's a huge ordeal. Just make a couple phone calls and see what folks thing. I think they even are Youtube videos showing how to do it yourself.

    Water Heaters: Tankless vs Traditional

    If that's the case, they probably shot themselves in the foot. Tankless are high ticket items. I'd wager they'd get a lot better kickback on something like that than a standard water heater install... - - - Updated - - - You're thinking of a recirculation pump. Makes it so you basically have...

    Weather Bucket 2021

    Hope it didn't blow away! Did you remember to put a rock in the bottom before the snow came?? Not sure what we got for total accumulation in Fargo. Crunchy, crusty, icy crap for sure. Can't see the grass in my yard, and there's no point in shoveling the driveway or sidewalk because it's...

    Water Heaters: Tankless vs Traditional

    Totally depends on what you want to get out of it. If it's just you and the honey with no little ones, tankless is great. It's hot water when you need it. There are capacity issues you need to think of, though. If someone wants to take a shower, boom, hot water. But if you want to take a hot...

    Getting pumped: Deer opener!

    Boy, some of the best times for us to hunt used to be that first hour after opener. Where I hunt regularly -- when I draw a tag -- it was very common to have deer kicked up as folks walked in at noon. They'd come screaming to the woods we were in, look back, then calmly saunter by inside 50...

    Getting pumped: Deer opener!

    Well, I liked spending time with my dad. But for the second year in a row, the weather killed the deer movement. Hopefully that changes this week. I'll be switching to the "good side" of the river to see if I can fill either my ND archery tag or rifle tag. Stay tuned...

    Getting pumped: Deer opener!

    For the first time in years, I'm legitimately excited for deer opener. I get to spend it with my dad. It took me until this morning to realize we've never, in fact, actually deer hunted together before. Done plenty of other stuff -- duck, pheasant and grouse hunted, camping, fishing, etc. -- but...

    hunting ethics

    Guy's a scientist. It's in his blood to ask questions. Valid, IMHO. I'd also think that 30 minutes seems particularly long for most warm-blooded critters to survive with a .30-caliber sized bullet (or somewhere abouts) exploding through both lungs. But as he surmised, maybe this is normal for...

    hunting ethics

    Maybe on topic, but I had a buddy who did the elk cull hunts in TRNP. They were required to use all copper bullets otherwise the Feds wouldn't let them donate the meat. He said they were double and triple tapping almost every elk they shot. Could have just been the design of the bullet as I...

    Solo duck hunt

    Nice job, Kurt! I love waterfowl hunting. It's great with friends because you have someone to commiserate with when it's slow, and celebrate with when things go right. But there's just something about going alone, just you and a good hound. You have nobody to blame but yourself for the misses...

    hunting ethics

    First buck I ever shot was on a trot (the deer, not me). I didn't have a ton of experience deer hunting, so tried getting him to stop by using a voice bleat. He just kept right on going. So I timed my shot. Kept both eyes open, and when it felt right, squeezed off a shot. He was about 100...

    Things on my mind...

    Gotta be a local bar that has some space where a deer mount would look neat-o. Especially with a trucker cap and aviator glasses on it.

    Over\Under shotgun

    My dad shoots a Benelli Montefeltro semi auto and that thin is pretty darn light. Even lighter than my M2. Part of it is the balance I think. Swings supremely well.

    Duct Cleaning

    Here's what I know: Should you get your ducts cleaned on occasion: Yes. Does it matter as much to clean your vents if you forget to change out your air filer regularly or use a POS filter system: No Having clean duct work isn't just for the air your breathe, it's for the air that goes through...
