    Deer Scent Blocker

    I always eat an apple on my way to the stand. But I hate littering, so I pick it up the core on my way home if it doesn't get stolen by some varmint. Truth be told, I've watched deer walk into the wind to a spot I'd taken a leak just minutes earlier, so there's something about smells and what...

    Things to ponder

    Just go to the North Pole and you can circumnavigate the Earth at 89.9999 degrees north in just a few minutes. I'd suggest sometime in the latter half of June.

    eulogy advice needed

    Along that line, I'd suggest making the eulogy about any great service (military, civil, volunteerism, etc) to start with, and then go on to talk about what the person meant to you (the speaker). One can roll their eyes if you talk about a tightwad's philanthropy and maybe even if their service...

    Ford F250 - 7.3 vs. 6.7

    Can't is not the same as don't wanna. I change oil on enough equipment around the place. Laying on the ground to do the bottom fuel filter on an F250 is generally an unpleasant experience if you don't have a lift in your garage, I don't.

    Things to ponder

    How fast would I have to drive west to keep the sun from setting in front of me? Depends on your latitude. https://planetcalc.com/7721/

    Bismarck Event center

    Without knowing the make/model/year of the boat, the amount paid and that received on his trade-in are a moot point. And who exactly is Moritz paying to rent the BEC, if not BEC? What's the deal with that? All that being said, I don't think the city of Bismarck would forward stuff to BCI if...

    Ford F250 - 7.3 vs. 6.7

    Back on the maintenance topic. I just had my 09 F250 into the Ford shop for an oil change, replacement of fuel filters, tire rotation, and a back-up light bulb replacement. Total came to $461.30, yes...I was a little surprised by that number. My memory had me expecting something in the $350...

    Baby Browning 25 ACP

    Not just pricey, but WOW...read their warranty rules: Unless otherwise stated, our guns are not test fired as we have no facility for that. We inspect the firearm and it's action to see if everything appears functional but they are sold without warranty. Unless the item is listed as being sold...

    Roast duck?

    I've used the cook-in bag technique on wild turkeys a few times. Turned out really well.

    Ford F250 - 7.3 vs. 6.7

    I don't think I would recommend the diesel for you. They are not necessarily designed as daily commuters (you say 30 miles/day, so I assume one-way is 15 miles). Fifteen miles is not enough for my 6.4 to go through a regen cycle. I live only 6-7 miles from work and there have been a fair...

    Bismarck Event center

    In general there are rules about what public employees can accept as gifts, even if every similar public employee is getting the exact same thing. In this example though, a really great deal on a boat that is not available to others is generally considered a gift equal to the difference between...

    Bismarck Event center

    In these kinds of cases, it takes two to tango. Moritz should probably lose his exclusive right to sell booze at the Bismarck Event Center if they really believe the boat purchase was a form of a bribe.

    migration 23

    I just got back from a trip to Jamestown today. Any of the prairie potholes less than about 7 ft deep are iced over. Saw a fair number of birds sitting on open water and the ice though. About 4:30 this afternoon, had a small (35-40 bird) flight of sandhills come over the house with a single...

    migration 23

    No shock here, but I can hear a few different flights of geese right now. Lots of birds heading south of Lincoln.

    The Hook

    Water temp off of Mallard Island was 56 degrees this past Sunday. The smallies and catfish were biting. Catfish in 41 ft of water, smallies were up around 19 ft.

    Mushrooms

    This was his choice in timing for his first trip on shrooms? Well, he'll probably never be let on another plane again. Much less as a pilot.

    Snow forcasted

    When it comes to snowfall, why would anyone ever take the forecast out to 2 decimal places? I get it in that the given screenshot are from a numerical model, but that's clearly suggesting a level of certainty that is not realistic.

    CAD program for yard design.

    https://learn.g2.com/free-landscape-design-software#plan-a-garden No experience with any of them, but thought it was an interesting question. One that I have asked of myself a few times with all the plantings I have around the place.
