    Fargo Teachers and 630 behavioral incidents this year so far

    I came from industry into education (high school teacher) and have lots of family in education. Having graduated 20 years ago, the changes that have occurred are incredible. The educational world that I grew up in has so drastically changed. And for those of you who maybe are out of school...

    E Bikes

    As an avid biker, I see the benefits of E-Bikes but I am not a fan of opening up every trail to them. Maybe it's like traditional bowhunters vs. compound hunters back in the day. We're all here to enjoy the same thing, maybe method shouldn't matter. From a straight mountain biking standpoint...

    April Snowpocalypse

    Rapid is over a foot. I was just in Belle and it's probably 14" or so. Less south and west. Mud Butte area along 212 had 18" yesterday alone. But the wind has been mild to the west. East is UGLY. From about Murdo east the wind has been crazy and lots of snow. Drifts are big, 6-10' in...

    April Snowpocalypse

    How much up there now Kurt? The heavy stuff is hitting W SD harder than they thought. We are on the edge of it and I think much of our precip came as rain last night. 10 miles away they have a foot. Lots of ice farther east, that will be hard on the pheasants. There will certainly be an...

    April Snowpocalypse

    We had hard rain, then hail, then sleet, then snow, all with lightning and thunder last night in W SD. Lots of rain through the night. Probably 3" of snow now but tough to see the 12"+ they are talking about unless the storm really gets with it. It looks like it is a bit further north than...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    That is good to hear! Hope all goes well tomorrow and that sucker is off the lake. Several guys in E SD who are in similar conditions. Hope everyone gets them off!

    house/basement leveling

    Gypcrete isn't fun to deal with. And even though it is lightweight you are still adding a lot of dead load to a probably already stretched set of joists. Leveling with joists on top can work, though you are going to end up with areas that are less than the thickness of your new subfloor that...

    Snow totals

    They missed it a bit in SD too, but not everywhere. The Black Hills got over 2' at higher elevations. The wind has been wicked as well, pretty good drifts. I am glad for the wildlife it blew a lot or areas clean. I had about 6" of new stuff on the ground last night and woke up to bare...

    Snowmobile fuel mileage

    One thing that can make a big difference when towing or even going slow is gearing down. I don't have any gear charts available, but when I was riding a lot we geared them down 3-4 teeth (enough to use the current chain) and it made a huge difference. It changes your RPM range slightly but...

    Wish I had this.....

    We did some big driveways in the past and all I can say is you better be willing to pay for it. Lots of sq. ft. equals a lot of gas being burned. One customer left it on over the course of a cold spell accidentally and paid a $2000 gas bill that month. I would do it for a sidewalk/entry like...

    Hunting & fishing combo day... is North Dakota the best?

    Lots of states you can do it in, just depends on what you are after. I have done walleyes and pheasants. I could get grouse in there probably too if I tried. We used to fish stock dams for bass all the time before the pheasant shooting time in SD too. The stars would have to align to do a...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    All this talk of a skid steer on ice just gives me the shivers. I know there is a lot of ice and the odds of going through are small. But the thought of being in a skid steer and breaking through is enough to say no thanks. Going through in anything would be bad, but a skid steer takes the...

    -2 h.s. hockey coaches??

    I know nothing of the hockey situation, but I will comment on MS & HS coaching in general. It is a hard gig....you can't coach and push kids the same way many older coaches did. The kids and parents won't tolerate things being "too hard" or you being "too mean". Motivating kids is totally...

    So are we going to set the record?

    You're probably right, but 2 weeks on the back end versus 2 on the front end could be a lot of hunting opportunity in some cases I would guess for half of the years anymore. But this is based on the migration I see in SD, I don't know crap about up there! Pretty interesting this year to say...

    So are we going to set the record?

    You guys gotta push for a structure change in those areas. With the weather anymore you're missing out on the best hunting. Our zone 2 in SD does not open till early Nov. but we can hunt till mid February. There isn't enough hunting lost in that early part to have a heartburn over, but maybe...

    Christmas Weather Event

    I would say the snow is good for pushing geese south...except Pierre is supposed to get more than Bismarck!

    Montana Ski Resorts

    When Ramcharger 8 was mentioned I was thinking high school, 8 guys crammed into a tan POS Ramcharger going out to chase ducks. God only knows what is smelt like at the end of a hunt.....probably similar to that 8 seat bubble after the occupants have all had a long night! The Bridger Bowl area...

    Finishing a basement

    I did a 1200sf basement just over a year ago. The basement had the perimeter walls framed and insulated and the bathroom was already done. The HVAC runs were in but not terminated. No electrical other than basic lights. I did all the framing, electrical, HVAC, hung the sheetrock & taped 2...

    Deer decoy safety?

    Area I hunt is well beyond foot traffic in the Black Hills of SD. Never seen a hunter while in any of my trees. However, I hunt opening that have a decent line of sight from other directions so the possibility of someone coming by out of my eyesight is possible. I'd really love to use a deer...
