    Lawnmower starting issue

    Yeah, but worn out piston rings often leaves one with a very easy to turnover engine. If one still notes good compression on the starting attempt, that pretty much leaves you looking at other causes for improper air-fuel ratios.

    Lawnmower starting issue

    It can throw the air-fuel mixture off. Think of it akin to the old carburetor chokes, you'd never get some of those old 50s-70s engines started without using a manual choke if the engine came with one. But once the engine was warmed up, you could shut it off and restart it easily. A gummed up...

    Drury buck

    Right, I too am not saying it was raised in a high fence and sold to the top bidder, instead what I am saying is that they have exclusive enough access and control over a large enough chunk of land to as they suggested, continue passing on this animal until this year. I generally hunt where I...

    I guess I just don't have the resources to grow a deer like this. Or, the patience.

    Corner Pizza Walleye

    I wonder if it was a legal snag job? E.g. in front of the gills.

    Price of land just keeps going

    The only help with water wells that I know of from the State are under their drought water supply program from ND Dept of Water Resources for cattle. I don't think you are planning on running cattle out there, are you?

    Price of land just keeps going

    Years of low interest rates let lots of people buy more home than one could afford back in the 80s..

    Snow forcasted

    Anything over 48 hrs out is wrong as a golden rule. That goes for both the Euro and GFS, but truth be told I think a lot of forecasters favor the Euro more that half the time. As a seasoned weather forecaster once told me "if we lived on day ten in the models, the Earth would be uninhabitable".

    Euthanize a pet...

    Trust me PD, you will know if/when you have to make the call. I cried all the way to the vet's office when I had to put my first GSP down and then the next 135 miles to where I buried him. He went down-hill quickly after getting diagnosed with lymphoma. Vet said he would probably make it 6...

    North Dakota mysteries

    You would really like the Ultimate Evil book by Maury Terry. Good Lord, it's been over 30 years since I read the book and I still remember the name of the author without even having to think about it. GREAT read...

    North Dakota mysteries

    The Ultimate Evil is the actual name of the book. I read it when I was a teenager and it still sticks in my mind on a regular basis. The murder of that young lady at Stanford was horrific. The whole Son of Sam thing has a lot of ND connections. Some of the Carr family were at the Minot AFB...

    This was decent land for the area, but that area is western Mountrail.

    North Dakota mysteries

    Probably because I was living in GF at the time I never heard of this crime, but ran across this from a Bismarck double murder in 1998. https://tubitv.com/movies/692509/the-house-on-sweet-and-seventh This is so methed up it's hard to wrap my mind around...

    Price of land just keeps going

    Yep, saw the same on a section of land near our land recently. One farmer knowingly overpaid for it. All because he wanted that piece of land to spite another landowner in the area. Glad he had the cash to do it because I prefer him as a neighbor over the other fella.

    Price of land just keeps going

    Yep, I have looked at buying land often over the past XX years. I'd really prefer it to be cash flow neutral, but what I've discovered is that I'd need to put 50% down to make the bank payment roughly equal to the cash rent I could get on something with hunting potential.

    This is being done to specifically help salmon populations.

    Pembina river and sturgeon

    I only caught one, but there were a number of lake sturgeon caught in the Grand Forks reach of the Red in the late 90s.

    Snow forcasted

    Depends on which model one looks at. The GFS has a solid chance for snow next week across a pretty good chunk of the state. Especially the central part of the state. The ECMWF (European) is much drier and somewhat warmer. It's that time of the year, but on this one the forecast out to 10...

    Your neighbors water

    It doesn't work that way when you start transferring water in today's age from one watershed to another. Americans generally view DL as a non-contributing area of the Sheyenne River basin. The Canadians and MN basically think of it as a separate watershed that should remain as isolated from...

    Your neighbors water

    Not all water treatment plants have the same design criteria even though they have roughly the same end goal for water quality. Since the Canadians and Minnetuckians have proven their willingness to sue ND and the federal government, this project would get stuck in the courts and environmental...
