    Sippin whiskey

    Jameson really is incredibly smooth for not being too high end, Johnny walker black if you like a little smoke and McAllen 12 ain’t bad either. Nothing wrong with having a few different bottles. Pendleton for occasional mixing, crown for giving to your friends(to sweet for me, overated IMO)

    retirement, good or sucks

    Roth 401k is just like your normal 401k from your employer and has all the same contribution limits. Its just a choice of paying taxes now or later. Roth IRA has much lower limits and also has income limits, but also has benefits the others don't like withdrawing principle without penalty &...

    No amount of snow is worth the traffic, crowds, prices at the resorts along I-70

    That's definitely a concern especially for us younger guys. Eventually Dems run out of other peoples money, and have to go searching elsewhere.

    retirement, good or sucks

    By doing the Roth and 401K you are basically hedging your bets on future tax rates. Nobody has a crystal ball so this lets you play both sides of the tax game. Also, you can always withdraw your principle on a Roth without penalty in case of emergency, you just cant touch the earnings.

    retirement, good or sucks

    General rule of thumb is to ALWAYS put enough in 401k to get company match because that's a guaranteed return. Then max a Roth IRA - $6,000, then go back to 401k, or possibly other investments depending on what options you have in company 401k. Watch the expense ratios on your 401k choices...

    Braid on small spinning reels

    On small ice fishing reels i use some electrical tape on the spool, for my open water rods I use mono backing to help fill the spool and stop the slipping.

    retirement, good or sucks

    I personally wouldn't take away from 401k to pay off manageable loans with that low of interest...certainly not the 0% one. Dave Ramsey is all about paying off debt for people who seem to have a problem with that. For financially responsible people who are already in good shape, he's generally...

    Tip ups

    Use a heavier weight above your swivel to straighten everything out and then have a 2-3' flouro leader below that with a small split shot about 6" above hook. I regularly use the coated line in 30'+ with current and do fine.

    Tip ups

    I use these, spool them with the nylon coated tip-up line for way less tangles. https://www.cabelas.com/product/HT-Enterprises-Polar-Therm-Extreme-Tip-Up/1659203.uts

    retirement, good or sucks

    These topics are always interesting and probably don’t get discussed enough because people are always scared to talk about money. I’m still a youngin in my mid 30’s but was fortunate enough to have parents that instilled financial skills at a young age. I think this is one area majorly lacking...

    Some registration changes for motorized watercraft

    So it sounds like $15 every three years for ND resident and no sticker required. $15 every year for out of state watercraft and sticker is required. If that’s how it works I’m fine with it, but they need to use the $ to set up required inspections for out of state boats entering ND or the whole...

    info on one man flip over shacks

    I think i would be looking at the Otter hideout or Eskimo Wide 1, unless your looking for something really light and cheap, then clam or others way be worth a look.

    Who's happier Men or Women

    I think overall men are just more content and easier going and therefore probably a bit happier.

    Let's talk drill/composite auger setups...looking for experiences

    I'm surprised they aren't putting the lite flight on the 40V, or at least giving an upgrade option. I currently have a Honda Strikemaster, and then a Milwaukee/Eskimo hand auger combo. The lite flight is tempting to get and use on both because I already have plenty of 8" lazer blades but I do...

    Guys, PLEASE PLEASE be cautious this year.

    I wonder what day the Nelson bay thing was. I was there on Saturday and definitely thought i heard kids voices yelling for a dog multiple times. I just assumed it was other ice fisherman, but i did notice a mini-van and a couple other vehicles driving around that didn't seem like ice fisherman...

    DIY European Mount

    My advise is to pay someone else the $100 to do it.
