    Tree Order Time

    I have cedars within 25 yds of apples. They're 30-some years old now with no issues.

    South Dakota volunteers needed

    KDM. WTH? Not like NDGF (or any agency, for that matter) provides lodging and meals for its volunteers at the OWLS pond, or in any of their habitat planting efforts over the years. Why would Wind Cave pay "volunteers" for their lodging and meals?

    Texas church shooting, thank God for conceal and carry!

    Sippin whiskey

    Finally, someone got around to Woodford's Reserve. Pretty darn good stuff. When it comes to less expensive varieties, I drank a fair amount of Yukon Jack as a sipping kind of drink many years back. It was a little on the sweet side, which I like.

    What next??

    Yes! Screw them rich bastages that want to spend $400k on a home away from the slums. This is nothing more than the housing version of student desegregation in the form of bussing that hit the country in the 70s-90s(?).

    Someone picked the wrong home.

    My favorite home defense round is 8 shot out of a 12 gage. People who show up with bad intentions out here will be well ventilated. 00 buck shot will produce, what 10 holes? I'm gonna make some doctor rich by the stitch! - - - Updated - - - Ehh, don't you have bears locally? I'd have my...

    Enough said. ReutersThree suspected burglars shot dead inside Texas homeDecember 23, 2019, 7:19 PM UTC (Reuters) - Three suspected burglars were shot dead inside a Texas home on Monday when a man who lived there fired a shotgun at the invaders and was wounded himself in a brief gun...

    Harmon/Bismarck

    That smell was likely hydrogen sulfide, e.g. sewer gas. Lakes like Harmon have a tendency to develop an oxygen free zone at depth as organics decay and consume all the available oxygen. If Harmon's outlet draws water from the bottom, this is normal. I see this at a lot of other dams as well.

    Quite the video

    Someone's gonna get hurt if they don't learn how to play nice.

    Inflatable Rescue for Side by Side

    So the Wilcraft doesn't have foam for flotation within the seats, etc? I'd think I'd want it that way, even if it's not supposed to need it.

    retirement, good or sucks

    Timbuk, There are limit differences between a Roth IRA and a Roth 401k. I think they are $6k and $19k, respectively. There are "catch-up" contributions a person can make after age 50 to go along with those limits, I think they are $1k and $6k, respectively. Why there are such differences...

    retirement, good or sucks

    Right, that's why I'm a proponent of having both. I am much less worried about passing money on to my heirs tax free than I am about my own financial security in retirement. Current death tax laws allow for plenty of inheritance before significant taxes kick in.

    retirement, good or sucks

    That's almost FREE money with interest rates like that. I'd say pay the minimum on those loans and maximize what you can put into your savings. It doesn't take a very good financial planner to help you top those kinds of returns. - - - Updated - - - All employers have a downside. With...

    Braid on small spinning reels

    Yep, electrical tape. Even a pretty small piece, like 1/4" x 1/2" is enough to provide the grip you seek.

    When Things go wrong on your first tag

    I've hunted long enough to where I have aplenty of clean misses on my record, and a very small handful of wounded critters that were never recovered. It's just all a part of the sport. Plus, it's not like ML hunting is the easiest way to kill a deer. In a sort of good way, I'm glad this...

    retirement, good or sucks

    Huh...while I always knew I was older than you, I didn't realize I was also that much better looking. I suspect you will be fine. Worrying at a younger age seems to always give a person more worry-free time at a later date.

    retirement, good or sucks

    Like mentioned, if you enjoy what you do...do it as long as you enjoy it. Otherwise, I plan on going by the mantra of "Retirement is wasted on the old and infirmed". That means I will pull the plug on working for a living once I can replace my work income with retirement income. Don't get me...

    We could just send the dog to my mom and stepdad. They seem to have a way of turning 40 lb dogs into 65 lb Jabbas. ;:;banghead
