    Lightning strikes can generate significant induced currents and differential voltages in everything from power lines to small electrical systems. Induction happens even to ungrounded systems like a vehicle on rubber tires. May help to compile some weather data like this...

    Oregon conservation

    Areas of national forest closed to motorized vehicles for 3 months during the toughest time of year for wildlife seems like a good and reasonable measure for wildlife and sportsmen.

    Power Tool Batteries

    No need to run down lithium batteries before charging. If they will sit idle in storage for a while it's best to not store them fully charged. The name brand tool batteries and chargers have logic circuits to optimize charging such as not attempting to charge when batteries are too cold or too hot.

    North dakota tunnel

    Haven't taken the time to visit when out that way but have heard it's worth it as described in the article. Thanks for the reminder.

    Farm Bureau Boy

    Didn't listen long so didn't catch that part, but I was listening when it was clear he isn't familiar with the tag and photograph rule but criticized it anyway. That is a very reasonable accomodation the NDGF made a couple years ago to simplify things for hunters that can't drive a pickup to...

    Farm Bureau Boy

    Heavy traffic on county roads is restricted in real time for oilfield but not agriculture. https://www.loadpasspermits.com/Notification/List

    Farm Bureau Boy

    I happened to catch that part of the show and he was clearly joking. It was part of a jab at NDGF. The gravel roads are definitely soupy in many places and prairie trails are likely worse.

    favorite ice rod locker holder

    I like the cheapies. Around $20 or less if you catch them on sale. Can fit 6 rods plus 6 rod holders in one side pocket, tackle in the other. Keep 2 of them loaded up and they take less space than some of the cases that hold half as much. When they wear out after 3-4 seasons break out a new one...

    Bismarck Event center

    I sponsored one of the portable bars there for an event a couple years ago and when I got the instructions to send a check to Moritz I thought "wow that must be nice to have exclusive rights to sell $7 Busch lights at the biggest venue in town... don't remember seeing that opportunity advertised."

    Residential Snowblowers

    Bought a 26" two-stage troy bilt from Lowe's in 2016 that has been an awesome machine and taken lots of abuse chewing through huge drifts, compacted snow, ice chunks. No issues or maintenance other than routine oil change, fogging cylinder for storage, etc. I would not buy a toro even if it was...

    Your neighbors water

    While it seems convenient at first glance, connecting watersheds across continental divides is problematic for numerous reasons as Allen noted.

    Your neighbors water

    In town or out on the prairie, all of us affect and are affected by our neighbors. In any case, be thankful the issue is excess water... for now.

    Anterior ankle pain

    I don't know you and this may not be your situation but being less fat is always the first step for most things. Unfortunately I don't follow my own advice.

    Harvest is STILL here guys...

    I wish it was easier to contact land owners to get permission to hunt and a place to park that is out of their way. I would rather just go fishing than be the asshole parked in the middle of the road or in the approach a landowner needs to use. I hope we can figure this out in ND before it...

    Pulling Boat Docks early?

    Ah you're not familiar with Lord Burgum's main street initiative. We are all to consolidate ourselves into densely packed cubes and access the provided amenities on foot, bicycle or scooter. No vehicle parking required!

    Pulling Boat Docks early?

    Oh well they're just giving everyone a preview of what it will be like after that ramp is bulldozed to make room for the tax dollar extraction scheme proposed there. https://www.kfyrtv.com/2023/05/18/riverfront-projects-full-steam-ahead/

    Pulling Boat Docks early?

    Call the entity that operates the ramp and talk to them. Typically USACE or county. Care to share which dock has been pulled?

    Nothing Bismarck Mcadees

    And this here is why I am not pro choice... some people should not have a choice. Too bad someone else in there wasn't carrying legally.
