    Missouri River rise

    Probably because developers, real estate agents, and current landowners often use terms like Garrison can prevent floods and the senators have whipped the Corps into shape so they won't allow flooding in the future. Anything it takes to soothe a prospective buyer. Truth is, nobody in their...

    Missouri River rise

    Those "rains" were pretty near record rainfall across the eastern half of Montana. While Peck and Garrison are both going to reach what is called the Exclusive Flood Control zones of their respective reservoirs, that still leaves an awful lot of room for just about anything other than another...

    Missouri River rise

    The Missouri River at Bismarck hits what's called Action Stage at around 57k CFS, and Flood Stage at around 75k CFS. Granted, there are plenty of people who get nervous as the river approaches Action Stage, however I am not aware of any major impacts between 57 and 75k CFS, just more fear...

    Missouri River rise

    1853.5 is not gonna happen unless the wheels come off the river, so to speak. One must remember that at all points in time, any forecast for Lake Sak, Fort Peck, Oahe, etc are trying to forecast the Corps' management decisions. In that sense, the past couple of forecasts issued by the Corps...

    Missouri River rise

    Just for clarification, the Yellowstone through Billings is roughly a foot and a half below what it was last week at this time. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=byz&gage=bilm8

    spun hub?

    Damn, I would have thought for sure that once spun she's done.

    The Farm Bill

    In general, one tends to only file lawsuits when they think the law, or is this case, the terms of the contract, are on their side. Farmers and ranchers, much like myself, can't sign a contract and then wish to hay CRP lands unless it's in the terms of the CRP contract. Are you saying PF and...

    spun hub?

    I could be wrong, but I think once you "spin" your hub, you'll pretty much be left stranded as your boat revs like she's in neutral. So tachometer it is.

    trailer damaged while fishing

    Yeah, I've had my trailer hit before as well. Cost me a new tail light. For the most part though, I've never seen or heard of too much bad stuff at the ramp parking lots. Yeah, you get the occasional missing hitch, and even heard of a trailer being stolen up on DL quite a few years ago. But...

    Water temps

    https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis/current/?type=quality&group_key=basin_cd or https://waterwatch.usgs.gov/wqwatch/map?state=nd&pcode=00010 Not a lot out there. The problem with temperature data for lakes is how you measure it. Surface temps change daily depending on sunlight, rain, etc...

    Boat speed and porpoising

    WHile you may have other issues, you won't ever regret putting a hydrofoil on that setup. My Lund is fairly similar and a hydrofoil makes it a much nicer ride.

    Non-resident fishing license

    Remember, ND fees are set by the state legislature. This is the same body of people who for years have watched their kids flee to other states for economic reasons. So when their kid(s) and grandkids come home, they don't want them to pay an arm and a leg to go fishing with gramps. At least...

    Sand or gravel in water pump

    Remember, the "pee hole" is generally a smaller inside diameter than the rest of the system. So a small rock can easily(?) make it's way through the system only to get stuck there. I've had that happen a time or two. In those cases, I simply had to remove the tubing from the upstream side of...

    Sunglasses!

    I've gotten polarized prescription (bifocal) shades through Walmart the past several years. No complaints, other than I tend to lose a pair right before I need them for a lengthy trip. With vision insurance, they are about $80, without I think they are nearer $250. I was up at New Johns...

    Hey now, leave Hawaii out of this. They have enough problems with lava.

    Gasoline Price?????

    err, there's 42 gallons in a standard barrel of crude. Oil is down near $3 a barrel today due to OPEC.

    Lake sakakawea water levels

    http://www.nwd-mr.usace.army.mil/rcc/reports/twregfcast.pdf - - - Updated - - - On a side note, these high water years are the perfect time to go chase walleye up shallow on Sak. Look for flooded green vegetation and give them a slender presentation. I used to use willow blade spinners with...
