    SeaStar Seal Replacement?

    Anyone do their own SeaStar seal replacement? Mine need done, looks like a simple job. Only concern is pulling the side brackets off, everyone says the can be a pain. The pullers are fairly cheap though. Planning to do the nice deals too, not the Amazon cheap ones. Any other advice is...

    Instead of College

    Our school did a good job of introducing MS kids to the different courses to help them make better choices once they got into HS. I do agree that schools still need to play a part as many kids don't have the guidance that many of us have been lucky to have. There are also kids who won't listen...

    Instead of College

    The best thing mechanically to happen to me was having old snowmobiles. We rode them, broke them, and learned to fix them. Same with my old truck. And parents who let me tear into things just because.

    Instead of College

    I am nearly one year removed as a HS Career & Technical Education (CTE) instructor. CTE is the "new" term, vocational, go-ag, shop, home ec, are all outdated terms these days. That said, I'll lend my thoughts and try to keep it brief. First, career guidance needs to start at home. Parents...

    Small engine oil changes

    I get that too. On my Yamaha there is nothing left after I use the pump, I’ve pulled the plug to check. Maybe a tablespoon? Other engines could be different depending on how you get it set to depth and such. But I certainly do it with warm oil.

    Trolling motor batteries

    Any preference on starting batteries? I have yet to go to a separate battery for electronics but that is probably the next thing. For now looking for a big 27 or 29 series starting battery. Recommendations?

    Small engine oil changes

    It’s the recommended way to change most Yamaha 4 stroke outboard. I didn’t think much of it till I used it. Impressive.

    Small engine oil changes

    I have the hand pump model and use it in everything from my mower to Yamaha F200. It’s as good as it gets.

    Another winter storm

    Don’t take off your gutters. Put on snow guards. Heavy snow sliding off is great, but all that water right by your foundation the rest of the year isn’t!

    Another winter storm

    I'm a year removed from the profession, but one thing I will tell you with certainty is that teachers ARE NOT happy to teach virtually from home. Every teacher in my school saw it as a total waste of time and would rather be in person with the students. It got to the point where we'd assign a...

    Spring Snows 2023

    There were a decent few birds around chamberlain this last weekend while fishing. But a bunch of snow coming to that area and a solid snow line north. Once spring finally comes they’re going to go in a hurry!

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    Final update. The 24v Strikemaster is legit. I have really liked it, even with the late thick ice we have had. I do not believe it will do the advertised 800" of ice with the 8" bit. I have gotten around 650" consistently, which is cutting holes on and off through the day. I think in really...

    Northern Lights in GF

    Another winter storm

    Forecast models look crappy for the whole ten day period. Thursday storm and way out another one is popping up. Winter needs to end….

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    I said clutch, probably should have said drive. It was in drill mode. Drive completely broke, wouldn’t spin the chuck in either direction. Motor just spun. Total fluke I know, I’ve abused Dewalt tools on the job site for many years. Just got a lemon. That said, I’d have bought a Clam plate...

    Electric Ice Auger Recommendations

    Saga continues. Dewalt DC999 broke second trip. Returned it. Put the pistol bit on my gas auger. And picked up a SM 24V new for $250. Happy with the SM so far. Dewalt clutch breaking was a fluke but I didn’t like it too much. Great deals out there end of season on all augers!

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    Yes, thats the one. They talk about all the items you list, but saying they suggest it happens everywhere is not correct. Options that could be used, sure. I thought the NDGF employee in particular was reasonable and understanding. He gets both sides, but believes baiting if removed will...

    House Bill 1151- Prohibiting baiting bans

    I just listened to the Hunt Talk podcast regarding this bill in ND and CWD in general. Worth the listen regardless of what side you’re on.

    Noem under fire...

    Noem has lost me. No matter the circumstance, she finds ways to push her agenda and get what she wants. You’ve got to be willing to work through the process, rather than find constant work arounds. That’s why a legislature who is 90% Republican and very conservative doesn’t really get along...

    Deal Alert!

    There are some good deals on all ice stuff there. Drill augers are darn near half price! Picking another one up!
