    insurance paying for flood

    Yeah, the article I read specifically mentioned the flood/hurricane role in the insurance cost. As far as the property details...it didn't sound special as they described it only as a 2,000 sqft condo. Which isn't exactly a mother-in-law shack, but is also not exorbitant in size.

    insurance paying for flood

    Flood insurance went through a number of changes over the past 10-15 years. Back then Congress stated they wanted to get out of the business of subsidizing flood insurance policies and that the insured were to start paying the actuarial cost of insuring said property. In general, I would think...

    Property Tax Credit

    Right, and no sales taxes are collected on money saved. The poor who live paycheck to paycheck spend every penny they get, the rich do not...even if they do spend a lot more than our poorest. In general, I get the concept of people not liking to pay taxes. However, I get screwed EVERY DAMN...

    Weather...

    Not a lot of wind. But yes, harvest is underway in Burleigh and surrounding counties. LOL, I watched a lot of videos of yesterday's chaos. Probably the worst street flooding I've seen in Bismarck since I moved here in the early 2000s.

    Property Tax Credit

    I believe the brain child of this anti-property tax initiative pays a little over $100k/year into Burleigh county. Remember, it's not just little old ladies and farmers who pay property tax. Business owners do as well, and they are well known to pinch pennies in furtherance of their profits.

    Yep, while not on par with yesterday, I'd expect there will be some street flooding again in Bismarck. In, about 30 minutes...if'n I had to guess.

    Define "big". I watched a pelican eat what must have been a 6-7 lb carp a few weeks ago. That SOB had no need for the Heimlich maneuver!

    Apple river stabbings documen

    I think the biggest take-home message from all of this is that there are consequences in some parts of the country for being a little quick on the trigger when it comes to self-defense. And, that is coming from someone who doesn't think this guy should spend most (if not all) of the rest of...

    Freak accident. (Understatement)

    Going back to my little fishing trip to Van Hook last weekend, that damn carp I caught was snagged by the dorsal fin with the single hook on my spinner. Just about the time my BIL netted the bastard, it flipped out and the whole rig came flying at me as I still had a pretty good bind on the...

    Steel Roofing

    Last time I had to reroof a home, it was some $17k. That was on a 2300 sqft home, so roughly an uncomplicated roof over an 1150 sqft home, plus a two stall garage. So, maybe 25-30 square overall. That was around 2008.

    Shore Fishing Salmon

    I have wondered the same. They were clearly hitting something on the surface that I never identified, but I have enough fugging hobbies without picking up flyfishing.

    Kept the cat, not the drum. Never tried them, but I've gutted hundreds.

    He's got his health issues, but he's a trooper! Note, it's a lot easier on the Toon as he can get up and move around a bit, but damn...I keep a close eye on him as the wind picks up!

    Right, I was there and I'm still not sure if it was a good day or sucky day.

    I literally don't remember if my dad caught 1 or 2, that would be the difference as I know my BIL and I each caught one.

    Lots of people dislike them as they can be pesky bait stealers to go along with the disappointment handed out when you realize what you're reeling in. At the same time, I am pretty sure young goldeye are important forage fish for pike and probably walleyes. I've only known a couple people...

    Shore Fishing Salmon

    Yeah, it often seems to be an early bite. I've taken the Toon up to the area in the early morning and drifted around casting spoons. I don't know what bugs the salmon are hitting on the water's surface that time of year, but you will often see them swirl and break the water surface until late...
