    Hunting with the mrs

    My wife has never expressed much interest in hunting. Will sit in a deer stand to watch the deer as she thinks that is neat, provided the stand has a heater. Did shoot a deer one time but it wasn't much of an excitement for her. Absolutely no interest in getting up early to go lay in a waterfowl...

    Remington 700 in .308

    Don't own a .308 myself but have never heard anything bad about them. Know they are fairly common caliber for long distance target shooting. That wouldn't be the case if they weren't accurate. Only other consideration I might look at in that type of caliber might be the 7MM-08. Have heard lots...

    wheel house accessories

    Sounds like sound advice. Thinking you can never have too much stuff is incorrect. You need what you need and nothing more. Also, remember that every day you go you need to bring something a little different. One day it might be deer sausage, the next might be fixings to fry some fish. (One note...

    ND DUI laws

    Didn't actually look up the statute. Just know if you want to travel to Canada to fish or hunt you don't want a DUI on your record. If you end up in a position where a DUI is possible, plead it down the best you can. I'm also assuming the level of alcohol may have some bearing on how willing the...

    ND DUI laws

    It's hard to blame the police for enforcing the DUI laws with all the hype about drinking and driving deaths. Someone has to be the scapegoat. I have heard of some of them giving rides home. there is a difference between DUI and APC. In most cases a first offense can be pleaded down to APC...

    William and Kate

    What is wrong with some dignity. The Royal family has very little power, just a figure-head And you have to admit that Kate's head and the rest of her is very nice indeed. The British are proud of them which says something. It's to bad that we haven't had a figure-head to be proud of the past...

    better insulated garage doors

    I think there are several good doors. Most companies make more that one model and are priced accordingly. If it sounds really cheap, it probably is. I really like the side-mount openers. Very quiet and smooth. If you come home late it won't be the garage door opening that wakes your wife. Have...

    electric floor heat question

    Not an expert on floor heat other than making sure the insulation is done properly. It also seems to me that floor heat is designed for off-peak rates. Once the floor is heated that heat will be retained for some time thus allowing for continued heat while the heat source is actually turned off...

    Your roots

    One set of great-grandparents came to US and ND about 1900. Other set of grandparents came to ND about 1920 but that part of the family has been in the US forever. Haven't traced them back to the Mayflower but do know that they were in the eastern and southeast US possibly in the 1700's and for...

    The girls are knocking down some deer!

    Perfect 3 deer by 3 young women. My experience with hunting with women is that they have a tendency to enjoy the total hunt, not just the kill. Most of us could take a lesson from the female persuasion.

    From start to finish......... (Pic Heavy with icky stuff)

    Great memories when your son or daughter is first successful and you know you have a hunting buddy for life. I remember those firsts myself. Not a negative comment at all for a successful hunt but a hint for all hunters. You can buy a box of about 100 latex gloves for a less than the price of...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Everyone in the state, mostly the state and county should protest giving land to the tribe. Tribal land is not taxed, leaving those maintenance expenses the responsibility of the rest to the county residents. Never figured out how so many others are responsible for the expenses of a "Sovereign...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Didn't read the legalities but did read a news article this evening about the woman in MN who evidently was in charge of the Go Fund efforts for the 3 fisherman who drowned in that state last fall. Not all the money went to the fishermen, or their families, and she was being charged with theft...

    Eye Dominance

    I'm just the opposite, right eye dominant and shoot by bow left-handed. Peep sight doesn't work for me very well but I can use a sight. Just have to have a little longer sights and then make sure my anchor point is consistent and the sights work just fine. Don't shoot competition very well as...

    Do you agree?

    Yeah, if you're paying in $32,000 and want a return of $48,000 you're going to need to start producing (or listing) a whole bunch of dependents. And no, legislators do not count as dependents. I could live with low-income people getting all they paid in back as a return, but getting more than...

    Do you agree?

    I heard it a little differently. The version I heard was "Those who cannot teach, administrate. Those who cannot administrate, teach in college."

    Wives

    I need to apologize right up front. When I read the ranting and raving about mom's driving a Big vehicle my immediate thought was. "If that's your biggest problem you've got it pretty good." I find my biggest advantage to being pretty much retired is that I don't get worked up over very much...

    Do you agree?

    The brain does work in mysterious ways and this theory certainly qualifies as strange in my book. I have a hard time thinking that people like paying taxes or that someone works harder knowing that they are going to pay taxes. In my mind people cheat on their taxes because they think they have...

    Garage door on Quonset?

    Agree that this may be true, depending on the size of the door. For an 8X10 - no. for a regular quonset size door such as 16X12 or similar that's not bad. Garage doors are not hard to install, as mentioned earlier, dependent on size. Do make sure you start level and keep door rails square. In...
