    Tattoos and Age

    67 years old and don't have any tattoos. Some day I'm going to get one though. Nothing gaudy, just a mallard, or elk, or something similar on my leg.

    Good advice to the next generation

    Yeah, some of it needs to be updated; EX: car phone and $60,000/year out of HS. Platinum pointed out the early age that young'uns are getting phones today and there are jobs that pay $60,000/year out of HS. They're not glamorous jobs and you don't get by with a 40 hour work week. Know some...

    NFL News (Vikings)

    I can understand the naysayers who keep referring to the Vikings and their 4 losses in Super Bowls. Do you think that matters to this team. I doubt that any of them were even a twinkle in their daddy's eye the last time the Vikings were in the Super Bowl. Hell this team probably doesn't even...

    Ice Fishing Rental Recommendation

    I'm pretty sure my wife and most others I know would prefer the suggestion from 3Roosters. You get the best of both worlds. Spending the night in a fish house I'm guessing isn't very high on most women's bucket list. Then again, I don't know your wife at all so do what you think she would really...

    New Flooring

    I've installed all of the ideas suggested above. For me wood is the best look and feel as well as quieter when walking with a hard sole shoe. It's just about always the most expensive and requires the most care. I do prefer Dura-Ceramic over laminate as I think it's quieter and doesn't sound...

    Fish Preferences??

    I'll bet this answer is true for most of us.

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    Does anyone know what makes some vents more susceptible to freezing. Lived in this house for about 40 years and have had a vent freeze one time. Have no special vent. Other than the standard sleeve going over to shingle over and around it's just a PVC pipe going through the roof.

    Fish Preferences??

    Catching big fish are fun in any species. A 14" perch is a trophy, a 14" pike isn't. I do have a problem with boredom and I like action to keep me interested. So my choice would be more fish vs big fish. Now from the other end, there was a day when I caught roughly 300 perch, not a one of them...

    What outdoors stuff did ya get for Christmas?

    Actually I didn't get much for the outdoors. Then again I've reached the age where I don't need much. I either already have it or if I need it I don't wait for Xmas. However, I do have fun supplying my grandkids with stuff they will need to hunt and fish. Giving becomes more fun than receiving.

    MECUM car auctions.

    Had a buddy who went to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Phoenix. He had to pay an entry fee but not a problem getting in to tour the cars. Getting on the actual auction floor was different. There you needed a bidding number and possibly a line of credit but he wasn't interested in buying so made...

    Makes me wonder

    I was correct. Maybe it was too easy, an article about the same train wreck so they must have found the same person who had no authority to speak yesterday either.

    So how many of you will be with me??

    good chance I will fall into that category.

    Makes me wonder

    Just about every day while reading the news I will see this message: "The spokesman spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the issue." Really? If you're not authorized to speak, why are you speaking? The latest I read it was a story about the train...

    What do you put in your winter survival kit?

    Hate to admit this but in more than 50 years of driving I have never needed a survival kit. Knock on wood. I usually carry a shovel and a tow rope in my pickup. The shovel I carry because I might need it when fishing. Sometimes there is a left over jacket from a fishing trip, etc. Also have...

    HOLY WAA . Are the Bison that good ?

    In reality there are no easy games once you're in the playoffs. Some look that way because one team doesn't play up to a certain level. For teams in the MVC that is a grind during the season and very physical FB. Benefit to teams in the MVC. SDSU laid an egg on Sat. but they have been a very...

    Smoking pike

    I've never smoked fish but my dad used to do it quiet frequently. Do remember that he use to wrap the fish in cheesecloth prior to smoking. Think the reason was to keep the fish from falling apart. If smoking fish that has been filleted this might be a cure.

    Property Tax Increase

    And if I'm not mistaken there are other protected funds other than the Legacy Fund. State is a long ways from being broke. Probably not a bad idea that it's not easily accessible.

    Property Tax Increase

    Was curious so I went and checked my tax statements. Have a house in town and a lake home. Taxes on both went down as far as total tax. Values stayed the same and mill levies were virtually identical to the past. Will pay a little more because 12% that the state paid isn no longer being picked...
