    Property Tax Credit

    In some states and municipalities they do but not here. However here property taxes pay for removing mountains of snow from your road. And maintaining the road that serves your house is no different than maintaining your driveway. If not you, then who should pay for that?

    Property Tax Credit

    I'll maintain there is nothing inherently wrong with property tax. If done properly (which it is not currently), it is a direct use tax which is the most rational form of taxation. I understand the notion that you never truly own your home when property taxes exist, but that's like saying you...

    Forward facing dilemma

    That is a great article that touches on all aspects of the discussion. Anyone can catch fish. Finding fish is more rewarding to me. Tough to say where the line should be drawn when it comes to electronics.

    Ice fishing

    Don't boil. Make torsk. Poach in 175 degree F water for 3-5 minutes, then apply salt and broil in clarified butter for 3-5 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of paprika.

    Late December early

    Stuff happens but it seems to happen every year at red lake and this year it's been like 3 times already. Those are not good betting odds.

    $50/yr for Navionics mobile!?!

    I get your point but it's the same data they charged $10/year for, nothing new or better. And I don't have a $125k boat so fifty bucks is fifty bucks.

    Traction master

    Bought some of those special screws years ago and they worked for a while but did not like them. Notice the slot cut in the hex head to give them "teeth". They were very inconvenient when you didn't want to destroy flooring in a business or ice house as LB noted. Also had some rip out after a...

    Happy Pledge of Allegiance Day

    And within 10 years it was bastardized by the religious zealots. Now the low information crowd points to the pledge and says "See!? The US was founded on christian principles... it's in the pledge. Derp!" https://www.ushistory.org/documents/pledge.htm#google_vignette

    Bismarck/Mandan Ramps?

    Dock was pulled from Fox Island ramp yesterday morning 12/22/2023. Thanks and kudos to Bismarck Parks and Rec for keeping it in as long as they did.

    Costco VS Sam's Club

    I scored some long sleeve HUK shirts a couple years ago at Sam's for less than $20/each. Meat is consistently good quality and low price so good place to get pork shoulder if making deer or elk sausage.

    Winterkill Aeration

    https://www.kxnet.com/news/local-news/winterkill-in-lakes-what-napoleon-did-to-save-the-fish/ Found this interesting. Didn't know the locals had done that there. Did a search and saw the NDGF fishing waters directory notes winter aeration occurs on a couple lakes.

    Favorite Christmas movie/show

    Mixed Nuts starring Steve Martin Ernest Saves Christmas Both are Thanksgiving movies but for winter holiday travel flicks it's hard to beat Dutch starring Ed O'Neill and obviously Planes, Trains and Automobiles

    Rifle Scope?

    Tempting for sure but either one of those for $299 would indicate low quality. $299 for both should remove any doubt that it's crap.

    Mercer county deputy killed

    The guy who is quick to tout his "strong moral and family values" as justification for supporting failed policies like outlawing abortion and continuing the drug war had one son drink himself to death before 40 and another son has now killed an officer and ripped apart another family. A lot...

    $50/yr for Navionics mobile!?!

    Navionics continues to disappoint. $50/yr to use the app is insanity. It appears maps saved for offline use are still viewable for now but everything else is gone unless you subscribe at the ridiculous new rate. Unfortunately I was not aware the change was coming and did not have much saved for...

    Hazelton Boat Ramp Status?

    A friend went down there on Nov 29 and said it was iced in. Have to believe it's solid ice but haven't been there myself in a couple weeks. Marinas around Bismarck are a solid 4 inches as of Dec 1. It's 100 yards of shallow slack water from the hazleton ramp to the channel so just don't see how...
