    WTF is wrong with kids these days

    I'm with Lungdeflator, there are just some things where an "I'm sorry" won't cut the mustard. I work really hard to let my kids know that making mistakes is a part of life, but being a bad person is not a mistake.

    2019 silverado sneak~

    Shiite, easy as hell to tell the difference between a Ford and a GM product running down the road. The Ford is the one with the lights that work. Am I the only one to notice that if I see a light out on a vehicle that it's damn near always a GM product? If you haven't noticed before, it's the...

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    Yep, rates of hedging tends to be near nil for companies that are using free cash flow to finance wells, and almost 100% for those that have to finance pretty much everything. Companies like Whiting and Oasis are around 40-60% hedged from what I've read. I would think with the backwardation in...

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    Yes, we know they partner on wells, although that is not quite the terminology used. There are generally operator, and non-operator interests in a given well. The operator is usually the one with the larger share of the spacing unit. That is the entity that gets to make all the decisions, the...

    arrow question

    Fletching on arrows wear out, they get lost when hunting, styles change, etc, etc. I say find an arrow you like and buy a dozen of them. Yeah, it's not cheap in the short term, but that way you will have enough of the exact same arrow for many years to go hunting and target shooting.

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    Since most oil companies operating in ND have a line of credit with the banks in order to drill a well, I don't think I'd call it a farce. The banks have made the companies sharpen their pencils a bit over the past couple of years. Hence the increased hedging of oil prices with companies like...

    WTF is wrong with kids these days

    I think one of the biggest reasons we see stuff like this is simply because "we", as a society, tolerate it. Every damn one of these little homo's will be able to go seek the shelter and love of their family. Contrast this with Japanese society where it is always well known that if you pull...

    While I will not condone the peanut throwing, you can't possibly be equating peanuts with full bottles or cans of beer, can you?

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    That histogram merely suggests to me that the current price for a barrel of oil is unstable and that oil should either be headed up, or down. You get to choose which way you think it's going. Overall though, it suggests oil has spent more time above the current price than it has below it...

    Military Question

    Most federal agencies have contracts with local Sheriff's departments to provide patrolling during the year. Personally, I don't think I'd ever recommend anyone to TRESPASS on federal property. I'd check the USFWS' website for rules and regs before I went.

    Military Question

    I am pretty sure the answer to that is no. But I also don't work for USFWS. National Parks, Historical Sites, and govt offices are to be closed and I am reasonably sure that the last time around this included Lake Darling. Perhaps someone can refresh our memory if Darling was closed. - - -...

    Better or Worse?

    Worm, I'd say your friend is wrong. The bureaucrats with ability to sway policy are political appointees. They go with the politicians. Those that stay are career federal employees and their ability to affect policy is very minimal, rather they are expected to live with whatever policies...

    Military Question

    "Exempt" federal employees have to show up for work or risk being placed on AWOL (absent without leave) status. Arguably, they get even the shortest end of the stick. Not only are they required to show up for work, if they get sick they are then stuck in limbo (either AWOL, or furloughed) as...

    ANS CLEANING STATIONS in ND or not.

    I would have not problems with an ANS station about 5 miles west of West Fargo and Grand Forks as a start. These things are all coming from the east. I tend to keep my rigs free of weeds, etc and put even more emphasis on cleaning the boat and livewell if I am going to a different body of...

    Susspect flee's from police, Bismarck

    Pew research at http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/27/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/ stated that: "Unauthorized immigrants represented 3.4% of the total U.S. population in 2015. The number of unauthorized immigrants peaked in 2007 at 12.2 million, when this group was 4%...

    Fixing your own

    I was 12 or 13 years old the first time I tore apart a transmission, that was on a JD 70 tractor. Have rebuilt several engines, from a Dodge slant six, to Ford 360/390 and 300, and the ubiquitous Chevy 327/350. Never really liked doing auto tranny stuff, or rear end work. Bottom line is that...

    Holy SHIT!!

    Wasn't it just last year at Hazelton there was a boat that got run over? I was there the day it happened but was fishing upstream a few miles. Guy had one of them high rising bows and couldn't see jack. I say if you have a boat that does that, you definitely need a hydrofoil.

    Considering New Trolling Motor

    Heh heh, I too sit in front...and let the kids/girlfriend suffer with each other in the crowded main cabin. And yep, like retiredsmartguy, I still use the remote when in the bow. Partly because in my Fisherman, if I fall out of the damn thing I can hit spot lock and not have to chase the damn...

    Considering New Trolling Motor

    Is 55 lb the biggest 12V out there now? I once had a 62, and a 65 lb series of 12V Minnkotas and they were decent on a 16 ft Smokercraft. Of course, if you were giving her the onion the whole time you were on the water you had only about 6-8 hrs of use before the battery would die. One thing...
