    Property Tax Petition

    And que the fight in the legislature about who is going to receive the proceeds from said state sales tax. Our legislature struggles to get their job done in the current allotted time. Who is going to be the almighty decider of who gets how much money? No way rural ND stands a chance under...

    Property Tax Petition

    IMHOl, the closest widespread radical change I can compare this to is Prohibition. I doubt many thought there would be such widespread and negative consequences to Prohibition, and I suspect many who were in favor of it would have changed their minds if they had had the foresight to the...

    Property Tax Petition

    I think we agree on the public should be more involved. But a system that's unused isn't necessarily broken. There were some very bright people involved in setting up our system going all the way back to the Revolutionary War. I am not convinced we have the same level of public involvement as...

    Property Tax Petition

    It's because I think we would be delusional to think scrambling of this egg would lead to anything more acceptable than what is already in place, even if we think the status quo is unacceptable. I'm not inclined to think a monthly bill from my rural firefighting dept, the county roads dept...

    Property Tax Petition

    "let them figure it out" kind of reminds me of boot camp where the Drill Instructor would come in after you've just cleaned the squad bay and they'd tear shit apart just so you'd have to clean everything all over again. In this case it would appear the electorate is the drill instructor...

    First Fawn

    Usually, I run across a couple sets of fawns at my place by now. I did see a number of deer beds while out spraying weeds the other day, so I'm just assuming the does have their fawns tucked away nicely in some of the near nipple high grass this year.

    Gutters

    Both are on purlins, but I've been in a friends out building with a metal roof on sheathing and it was only modestly quieter during a similar downpour.

    Gutters

    Not sure I'd worry about snow slides. There are little "stops" that a person can install to keep the snow from sliding off, but probably not a big enough obstacle to be a problem if you wanted to clean the snow off the roof. My issue with metal roofing is how loud it is during even a heavy...

    Gutters

    I think what we can glean from this is that ABC has a more successful advertising campaign.

    Trolling Motor Batteries

    I've used Interstate and other quality lead acid batteries for years with an average price tag of around $300 for a pair of 12V batteries. I average about five years on a set. It would seem the Dakota Lithium are $989 for a single 24V battery. Can I get 15 years of service out of that lithium...

    Fathers day gift

    Yes, gout can and does show up in other joints. Knees are not as uncommon as you might think, same goes for the joints in your hands. When I first got it some years ago it was the classic big toe of the right foot. Then over the years I'd have minor flare-ups in other joints. It's been a few...

    Gutters

    I haven't had gutters in years. And can't say that I miss them.

    And phones with phishing texts and voicemails. I've been getting a lot of them lately.

    That's the spirit! Yes, I know...I am right as usual.

    Sak Van Hook 6-16 and 6-18

    Not a lot of people keep catfish out of Sakakawea, but if you're looking for a good eating cat...there's no place better. Plus, if you target them they are damn plentiful on the river side of Sak. Sounds like you all had a good time!

    Garmin w/Minnkota transducer

    Update: I finally made it back into Scheels and was told to try (sold) a standard adapter instead of the Y splitter since I don't have a need to have two transducers hooked up to the head unit. What do you know, it works just fine now!

    Record MN Nontypical Deadhead

    I could be wrong, but I think it still does. B&C was originally intended to honor the animal, not the hunter.

    The Best American President

    Ah, I get it now. You have elected yourself as the writer of the rules for the interweb and I've committed an infraction under your laws. Hah hah hahh, you can't possibly be this new to the internet, can you? If I plead guilty to not following your rules, will you just go away? p.s. you're

    Record MN Nontypical Deadhead

    As I had it explained to me one time when this rule first came into effect (2003'ish??) was that there were people who simply shot deer and then later on "discovered" the dead deer and were keeping the antlers. I was miffed by the rule because it immediately made just about every deer mount in...

    The Best American President

    You seem to be taking this personal. You didn't/don't like my opinion, and it's just that...an opinion on the internet, but not being able to convince me to change my mind seems to have put a burr under your saddle. Sorry man, that wasn't my intent. My "favorite President" completely depends...
