    Of All the Places to Brag About Your Origin

    My grandpa on Dad's side came over in 1894 at age 17 with his older brother Ole. You had to be 21 to homestead, so they worked in northern Minnesota in the timber industry for 4 years and then went out to the Westhope area to homestead. After "proving up" their land (took 5 years by law)...

    When Will It End?!

    If you want to see when it ends on Metigoshe, watch this website. When the barrel goes under they declare the ice broken up. http://metigoshemelt.com

    Full Blooded Norwegian - all 4 of my grandparents emigrated from Norway (Hornindal & Hallingdal) in the 1890's thru Ellis Island and homesteaded in the Westhope area in western Bottineau County. Both homesteads are still in the family.

    Frozen four

    I'm with you. M Duluth is the only NCHC team in the Frozen 4. The rest are Big 10. Michigan has 9 National Championships and I don't want them to get another one to pull farther ahead of UND and DU who both have eight. Happy with the results tonight. And to top it off after college hockey...

    A word on CO2

    The only thing that you can use inside your house safely other than an electric grill is the sterno can type heat that some Vietnamese restaurants use to heat a water pot at your table for a type of cooking that is primarily theirs. Sterno must have more petroleum products in the fuel (the...

    updated Rule and Regulations for fishi g

    Underwater spearers are using a spear gun with propulsion almost exclusively. Either with rubber bands (my guns) or with air compression. I never speared a fish with a pole stick (I have 2) in 20 years of diving. I think that the only places that you can dive and spear fish in ND are DL and...

    A word on CO2

    Carbon monoxide has an atomic weight of 28 (O=16 and C=12) and oxygen has an atomic weight of 32 (16 + 16), so they are very close. But since carbon monoxide is lighter and is produced by combustion, the gas will be hotter than the air around it and will rise slightly. The common thinking is to...

    A word on CO2

    CO poisoning is not from the lower O2 content. You breathe the CO into your lungs and it has a greater affinity for the hemoglobin in your red blood cells than oxygen and as a result you become starved of oxygen and you suffocate without knowing that you are not getting oxygen. Almost every...

    You never use charcoal for heat in a confined space - not even a garage!

    Happppppy easter...

    I smoke my meat on a weber with a double grill set up and coal rails to keep the briquets to the side/indirect. I use aluminum foil on the coal rails to keep the side radiant heat down (don't burn the beans) and get my beans ready the night before I smoke the meat (brisket, pork or chicken.)...

    New home ideas

    A definite plus for ND! Fishhard: I put in 36" high vanities in the master bath. Normally they are 32". You won't have to bend over so far to rinse after brushing plus you have 4" more storage in the drawers/cabinets. Tell the kiddies to stay/use their own lower bath top while you are...

    Cast nets / netting for bait?

    This is what I'm going to try - we call it a "goodie bag" in our dive club. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OAKUFK/?tag=nodakangler10-20 It is a mesh bag to hold dive gear. The mesh lets the gear dry out. I have several and I am going to take the netting off of a small (16") diameter fishing...

    Garage Finishing Ideas

    Don't know your aversion to flat paint on drywall in the garage. Here in CA we install sheetrock on all home garages that we built and just painted them with flat paint. If you are really concerned you could use a waterproof elastomeric paint. What we have to be careful of here is if the house...
