    Round or flat earth

    Flat Earthers are on a level of dumb that makes AOC look sharp.

    Moving jitters

    Hire movers. The good old days of getting your friends together with freshly cleaned out horse trailers weren't actually that good.

    February Cold

    Note, as of this time of year the mountainous headwaters have usually received about 70% of their total SWE for the winter season.

    February Cold

    The Missouri and Yellowstone headwaters are right about average for the past 30 years.

    February Cold

    To some extent, yes...I am concerned that the longer we keep going on this below normal temperature pattern and Mother Nature will eventually kick the pendulum to the other extreme. Not necessarily up in your hill country, but down here in the Banana Belt of the state and we are quickly...

    -2 h.s. hockey coaches??

    Can't say I blame anyone for having their fill of youth athletics nowadays. Everyone seems to think their kid is the next high draft pick in their respective sport so they go all in and pin their retirement hopes on that big pro contract of their kid. When I lived in GF we had a name for those...

    February Cold

    Yeah, this is the official data for Minot. That place sucks, as does pretty much everywhere else in the state this month. Like the Departure From Normal says, -19.2 degrees. That's a boatload of difference from the long-term average! DY MAX MIN AVG DEP HDD CDD WTR SNW DPTH SPD SPD DIR...

    Deer Rifle Recommendtions for 12-year-old daughter

    Despite their tendency to bounce off deer, I bought a 243 Tikka for my son and daughter to use a couple years ago. Nice little rifle that has take a few deer already. My daughter was 11 this fall and about 85 lbs when she shot her first deer. One shot and done at about 120 yds. I'm just about...

    MDU Retires

    Am I wrong in thinking that the natural gas powerplants still run a steam turbine? Which means that while the volume may change, there will still be a cold water intake and a warm water outlet.

    In response to a snarky comment: I used to be a lot skinnier when I fished, f&cked, and fought a lot more. Your choice.

    Ground/Soil conditions under the snow question.

    Wirehair, interesting...I live east of Lincoln and I can't make a divot this year if I tried. Even bent the hell out of a 3-point pin yesterday trying to move some virgin snow with the blade on the back of my tractor. On the sand of Fox Island, can't say I'm surprised you can do some lawn...

    Initiated Measure Approval???

    Probably because it gives them a chance to tell the ND voters that approved a constitutional change that they won't implement it. The examples of this are the initiated measures for medical marijuana and the ethics panel. The State legislature is opposed to MM because they are a bunch of old...

    Ground/Soil conditions under the snow question.

    I was wondering if you all could help me get an understanding for just how hard frozen the ground is in your area this year compared to your historical observations? In particular, the kinds of observations that are of use to me are: 1. Is there a layer of ice on top of the ground under virgin...

    Initiated Measure Approval???

    I think what we need are simply better written initiated measures. Perhaps it would be better if they had some more hurdles and help from the State in the original drafting of an initiated measure. I don't think even as bad as some of the measures have been, that I could support a proposed...

    3 bank charger

    Not really sure why other than I like to see the batteries matched. I have a 24V bowmount, so a 2-bank charger takes care of them and of course, they should be equally drawn down when I plug in the boat. Whereas the starting battery should, at most, need to just be topped off. I have no...

    3 bank charger

    I kind of prefer to not charge my trolling batteries and the starting battery off of the same charger. This is actually easy to do by adding a single bank charger for the starting battery and using an electrical adapter that sends power to both chargers. That being said, I have had good luck...

    Best time of year to buy a new pickup?

    I've seen articles saying the new 2020 F250 is due out around Aug or Sept. That should make Sept-Nov a good time to buy the 2019 version.
