    Duck Stamp?

    I have to say, I'm pretty bummed about the new electronic only situation. I went to Scheels the other day and figured I'd buy a duck stamp as long as I was there. Guess what? They only do it electronically. I said no thanks, I'll go to the post office. Only bummers is there's only ONE post...

    Family Motor Coach Associate takes over the ND State Fairgrounds

    No lie, we drove to the Twin Cities and back this weekend and I bet we counted 500 plus RVs. I told my wife "is there a camper convention somewhere??" Apparently there is!

    Can't concentrate, story time

    And just like that, he’s gone as of 4 am. God bless all the grandpas out there. Our world would be a bit dimmer without them.

    Can't concentrate, story time

    I appreciate all the support and kind words. Mom informed me grandpa is in a worse way than we thought, so I'm heading down to see him this afternoon. Everyone give their families a squeeze tonight. Sometimes I think we don't hug each other often enough.

    Can't concentrate, story time

    August may just turn out to be one of the most chaotic, emotional, trying months of my life -- depending on how things shake out. My first-born is starting kindergarten. That, alone, is enough to fill my emotional well. I found out a bit ago my grandfather on dad's side is going downhill in a...

    Squirrel season extended

    I would poo-poo squirrel hunting, too, however it's gotten HUGE in Minnesota, mostly thanks to the growing Hmong community. They hunt the dickens out of those buggers. We might get a little tourism jump during some odd months if the word gets out on this. At least, if there really are huntable...

    Damn Wind!

    If I had to keep a garbage can in a confined space, like the garage, I'd be more concerned about the smell. As it stands, we have an outside location that allows it's unique funk to blow wherever the wind takes it. Ideally to the south where our shitty neighbor lives. I get a certain sense...

    Popped my cherry last night

    My little sis snagged me when she was about a year old. Dad had the bright idea of putting a hook on the Snoopy Pole despite my mama's better judgement. Sis likely would have been just dandy casting nothing but a bobber. But, no, dad had other ideas. Our fault for standing behind her. Sis got...

    Damn Wind!

    You know folks are bored when they dig up a 4-year-old thread about how windy it is in North Dakota. That's like resurrecting a debate how wet the ocean is.

    Sandy flesh walleyes

    Pretty sure you can pickle that and make it palatable.

    Fillet Knives

    Got a Leech Lake Knife for Christmas a few years back. Took some getting used to (the sharp edge on the top can give a nasty nick if you're not careful) but the concept is solid. Use the back hook-style edge to open up the skin, then the sharp side to cut through the softer meat. I've had it...

    Crazy Rain Yesterday

    Apparently it's only a problem when dealing with 4 inches of rain in the span of an hour or so. Prior to that storm, it was never an issue. Expensive learning experience.

    iCast 2019

    Lowrance and Garmin out with trolling motors in the same year?? Well I, for one, and happy for a bit more competition and options on the trolling motor front. Might make the old dogs a bit more accountable when it comes to quality and robustness.

    Crazy Rain Yesterday

    I appreciate that! IF we were at the old house I'd totally take you up on that. I feel like this was a freak thing, mostly due to poor placement of the sump pump hose. I may find a way to trench that bastard out to the street, but it has to be close to 100 feet. We should just leave it on bypass...

    Crazy Rain Yesterday

    Third time for us, but first time in this house. Same story though: Window well floods and gets into basement. Luckily this gives us the opportunity to install an egress window and do needed updates. Just horrible timing financially.

    Crazy Rain Yesterday

    I'm not sure what we got last night, but it came down in sheets. Then it rained this morning starting around 6 and didn't let up until almost noon. Basement flooded. Again. Spent six hours tearing out carpet and cutting sheetrock. Guess mama gets that sewing room remodel sooner than expected!

    Big Head Carp

    6 ducks/meal x 12 months = 72 ducks. If I brought home 12 limits of ducks a season, I'd be tickled. So I exaggerated. We probably eat duck once every two months at current capacity. You're right -- always room for improvement in the marksmanship category. - - - Updated - - - I used to feel...

    Big Head Carp

    I'm really not sure I can sense sarcasm any more on NDA, but I'll play ball. Duck is my favorite meal. We actually save all our duck for special occasions and I limit consumption to once a month so we can make the meals last until the next hunting season. It's one of only a handful of meals...

    I feel like I don't even know you any more.
