    Marathons

    ^^^^ This! I PR'd the Grandma's half in 2012 in 1:33:12. It was the best shape I've been in my entire life. Then kids came along and I totally fell off the wagon. Now I'm signed up again for the Fargo Half. It's WAY harder now than it was five years, two kids and about 15 pounds ago. But it...

    Marathons

    I've ran a few half. Never a full. I never got to the end of a half marathon and thought to myself "boy, I'd love to turn around and run that all over again." To me, 13.1 is plenty. Get yourself a good 12-week plan. Get your mileage up. Don't worry about speed, just worry about getting in all...

    Underwater Camera decision

    Well, I used Christmas money and GC and visited Scheels yesterday. Bought my wife a birthday present, and got something for myself: Aqua-Vu 715c! Not the HD, which when I saw them both side-by-side I couldn't tell much of a difference (other than about $300 on the price tag). So I went the...

    lure wraps for ice rods

    I've seen something similar at Scheels, but always questioned the robustness of that plastic in Arctic weather.

    Fargo Area Fishing

    Ashtabula is a smorgasbord within an hour of Fargo. Good lake to explore and drown minnows (and Busch Lights). Can be decent fishing if you put your time in.

    Big kitty snared near Mcleod ND

    You can legally UNDERWATER spear walleyes in North Dakota (not ice house spear). Always wanted to try it in Nodak.... - - - Updated - - - I totally skipped the geography lesson. McLeod...ya...that's definitely a yote set and accidental catch. Still...wowza that's a big cat!

    Last weekend for roosters

    I want to but am deciding against it. The Bros. Wirehair will NOT be happy, but for the last three years we've hit the final weekend and wound up either bird-less or with a sizable vet bill. I'm going to end 2017 season in 2017 with 5 birds in the freezer and only one close call (Blitz wound up...

    Big kitty snared near Mcleod ND

    I'd be curious if that was an accidental catch or if he was actually targeting cats. From what I know about snaring you definitely need to "target" the species you intend to catch. So you purposely set your snares at dog height and size, thus limiting getting things you don't want. Doesn't means...

    lure wraps for ice rods

    I use those tiny snaps on all my jigging rods (except for panfish). I believe they are called No Knot Snaps or something. Work great. Super fast and easy. If you have tiny jigs they don't work, but for every rap, spoon and other jigging paraphernalia in my tackle box, they're great.

    Tattoos... who on NDA has at least one?

    My grandfather has a blue, faded tattoo of an open parachute with some words and numbers that I can't recollect on his left arm. It's to commemorate his time as a paratrooper. Never saw action, but to this day he says he'd do just about anything to make one more jump. I could never stomach...

    What outdoors stuff did ya get for Christmas?

    Not a damn thing. But I did get gift cards and cash that I will most likely put toward a new underwater camera. So there's that. Which is nice.

    Which one of you.....

    That'd be me. And the calls are starting to trickle in. Thanks goodness. That warm start to December was a budget murderer.

    A Toast!! My finest champagne

    Y'all assume I'm slamming other beers! My whistle gets whet regardless of the malted brew that goes down my gullet. That sounded dirtier than I intended, but whatever.

    A Toast!! My finest champagne

    I literally had no idea Keystone was more than Busch Light until a day ago. I was always under the assumption Stones were on the same level as Old Mil or Hamm's. The more you know...

    Valley City Ice Report

    I'm counting on those to make the phone ring where I work! Ain't nobody got time for this 30-plus-degree-in-December BS!

    Valley City Ice Report

    Good thing hunting season is still open for ditch chickens! Seems like the perfect excuse to thin out those males and give the hens a fighting chance.

    absolute minimum money to get you through a month

    We spend a bit over $20K/year just on daycare for our two kids. It's a high enough amount to make our lives a little more paycheck to paycheck than I'd like, but not enough to have one of us a stay-at-home parent. As it is, we both work full time. Mortgage is about $1,400/month. Then there's...
