    Buying vs. Leasing

    What the "better deal" is depends on the individual and how they manage finances. If you have the mindset, view, or past history that you will always have a car payment (trade in for new one every 2-4 years) then its easy to compare the lease vs buy because its more apples to apples. If you...

    Vikings - Latavius Murry

    Lots of questions on Rick's moves and his lack or misses on drafting any OL for years is costing the Vikes. They have been stuck paying way to much for average OL in free agency. Even last offseason when the OL was a known issue, look at what they did, only spent a 4th rd pick on Beavers and...

    Pickup Shopping

    Times are changing a bit with the interest rates but if given the option of 0% or cash back, I have found it best to take the cash back and then refinance through the best option I found online. Many local banks or credit unions have had new vehicle loans at 1.5-2% for the last 5 years or so...

    State-owned Casinos anyone

    Ill agree with this, plenty of blame to go around. Very bad leadership decisions by the tribe, but also many outsiders causing problems. We all know the tribe has no money to give and wont anytime in the near future. The feds dropped the ball many times over on this one. Seeing all the clean...

    Improving the PLOTS program

    A good example of improving the plots program can be seen in the 22k acres of newly registered land in western ND (north of Beach) this past summer. There are some high dollars amounts thrown out at this, but its a 10 year contract on 22,000 acres. Mule Deer Foundation spearheads PLOTS...

    Fishing Rod Comparison

    St. Croix lists a 5 year warranty on defects in material or workmanship on the higher end blanks. Also remember that is just for the blank, so you will have to rebuild the rod. It is one downside to the custom route if you place a high value on fast and easy switch out for a broken rod.

    Fishing Rod Comparison

    There is some marketing stuff and other information out there. But the short of it is the Torzite ring is mounted on a titanium frame (same Fugi K-series as found on the SC Extremes). The Torzite material is stronger than the SiC. The benefit is found since the Torzite is stronger, they can...

    Fishing Rod Comparison

    +1 The Torzite Guides put the elites a bit higher on my list than the extremes. I don't believe the Torzite was available, or was too new, when they redesigned the Extremes. The Elites have only been available for the last year. I love my Elite, its built on probably one of the best available...

    Mustad Triple Grips

    Don't overlook the Owner hooks. For some reason they aren't usually mentioned on the walleye focused boards, but they are every bit as good or better than the gami's, VMC, Mustads The stx-58 is probably their best offering. It uses a lighter diameter wire while still claiming a 3x strength...

    Log blocking the river...not a problem.

    Most likely those boats are heavy gauge aluminum usually with a one piece seamless bottom. Most of the hunting boats with mud motors will have a .125" thick hull with a robust stringer design. Some good stump, log, road, beaver dam jumping videos of those boats as well.

    Cost per SQ FT for building a house

    I have lot (land) envy of many other areas. Any lot or chunk of land with any view besides the patio of your backyard neighbors is $130k to $330K in the Bismarck area. It is sad what that kind of money can get you in MN or IA and I am sure many other places.

    Cost per SQ FT for building a house

    Be careful about just going off of per sq ft #'s without further clarifications. If you are looking at a 2000 sq ft ranch with a finished basement some builders are stating it as $220 per sq ft finished. But that is 2000 sqft up and 2000 sqft finished basement. So you have 4000 actual sq ft...

    Honda side-by-side with tracks?

    This... I think so many hear and see all these new and used rigs with $25k to $30k price tags on them and don't look much past that. They accept that price as it is what it is. Do some digging and shopping and most of all be patient. Yeah if you walk into the showroom and want to walk away with...

    Honda side-by-side with tracks?

    You can get solid half doors for a few hundred dollars. Can also get half or full windshield. Would set up with half doors and windshield keep you dry?

    Honda side-by-side with tracks?

    I have thought the same and have looked into it a bit. Not sure you could outfit one of those for 50% the cost of a SXS. You will have a machine that weighs 1-2K lbs more than a side by side. This bumps you up into the next weight class or two for tracks (more $$) and also limits your early and...

    Honda side-by-side with tracks?

    A heated enclosed cab would be nice, but it will add $4-5k. That's a large chunk of additional money.

    Honda side-by-side with tracks?

    Have down some casual looking the past month. Saw that Mattracks is having a 20% sale on tracks for fall 2017 delivery, might want to look into that. Id say do some looking and reading on the differences between the Honda 700 and 1000. I believe the 700 has been on the market for a longer...

    Airfryer and Fish

    Have you tried adding a bit of oil to the breading or spraying oil on the fish as they were cooking? I am guessing the frozen food stuff works so well in the air fryers because they already have some sort of oil on the breading or crust because that allows them to be cooked in the oven and...
