    Oahe ice

    I'm too chicken to play with the ice in that stretch. Lots of irregularities and changing current along that shoreline that could make your ice disappear over just a few feet of travel. It'd definitely be a walk with a spud bar, but near as I can tell that's quite a distance to walk from what...

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

    OPEC, schmoPec. Even those dumb bastidges have to know that it's better for them to sell 50 barrels of crude at $75 a barrel than it is to sell 75 barrels of crude at $50. Remember during the run-up to the last boom when OPEC leaders were worried far more about the price of crude than they...

    NFL News (Vikings)

    I tend to not take professional sports very seriously, so I went hunting this afternoon. To no avail. :mad: And recorded the game. Only to accidentally hear on the radio that the Vikes were up 17-0 at one point, before I killed the radio. So I get home and hit play on the DVR, enjoying the...

    Ford is debuting a diesel engine for the F-150 pickup truck for the first time.

    eyexer, you've kind of suggested that already. Can you give us some more specifics, like at what mileage a person should expect: 1. Major exhaust work due to particulate filter being plugged. 2. Oil cooler plugging up. 3. Injectors needing to be replaced. 4. ________ costing an arm and a leg...

    Ford is debuting a diesel engine for the F-150 pickup truck for the first time.

    I've been inside the local Ford dealership's diesel shop for a couple of little quirks the past few months, and almost not at all during the 8 years I've had my 09 F250. For the number of Ford diesels running around, it's not a very big shop. Like all diesel owners, I really dread the day it...

    Ford is debuting a diesel engine for the F-150 pickup truck for the first time.

    It's not so much paying for the diesel features as it is enjoying its advantages and getting a higher resale out of it when you move on. This is not an easy calculation to make.

    Smoker

    The water pan is to prevent stuff from drying out. When making jerky, I don't use a lot of water. When smoking a turkey or tenderloin or ????, I tend to make sure the water pan has water in it. A few times I've slacked off on it left the meat with a drier than preferred crust. Same with...

    Weasel

    Yes, an ermine is another name for the stoat version of the weasel. I suppose not knowing the fine splitting of hairs that split the stoat from the least and/or long-tailed versions, I've always just referred to the white coloration as the ermine. Which is most likely incorrect to the purists...

    Is it sad that I guessed who it was before I saw the VOA? Crap, I always felt much younger than you looked before now. :(

    I wonder how they will get this out

    eyexer has probably the best idea for undoing the dumb. I once had a friend who loaned his diesel 4x4 to an idiot. He got it stuck something like this. Then went and got a payloader. Yep, wrecked the frame getting it out of the RRV mud. Ouch... - - - Updated - - - Yeah, but you probably...

    Netflix and Amazon

    Anything with Ginger Lynn in it would be on my watch list. Or Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and Charles Bronson. But I don't do Netflix or amazon tv.

    Just a funny story (wild animal encounter)

    2400, That's a great story. Too damn funny. I used to know a fella that caught a rattlesnake and put it in his saddlebag. Some other emergency happened that day and he left his horse tied up only to have another guy do him a favor by unsaddling his horse. And since it was wet and muddy out...

    Big kitty snared near Mcleod ND

    I have suggested for several years that they consider allowing an "incidental catch" tag system for paddlefish in the Missouri below Garrison. No way, no how. They think people will stand around chucking rapalas intentionally targeting paddles. I've caught several paddles over the years by...

    Just a funny story (wild animal encounter)

    LOL, a couple years ago I had a whole family of coons try to get into my popup blind one evening. SOB's even knew I was in there.

    Pentagon ufo probe

    I love watching that Neil de Grasse Tyson fella as well, he and a couple others have a real knack for explaining complex science to the layperson, much like Carl Sagan did years ago. Not a skill set that's common in good scientists. However, he can only form opinions on the science that we...

    lucky to be alive

    After watching the video again, I gotta say that I'm not convinced that truck is stuck enough for me to walk. A shovel goes a long ways to unsticking a truck in snow. I guess I don't know what is on the far side of the pickup, but I've shoveled a metric crap-ton of snow in my day to unstick...

    NFL News (Vikings)

    Lest we forget, the Vikes have already beaten half of the NFC teams left. And IMHO, they really threw up a stinker in Carolina so more than half if you include themselves. Not something I'd expect them to do again.

    lucky to be alive

    Lucky fella, good for him. I don't go hunting or fishing unless I am dressed well enough to walk back home. Tires go flat, vehicles break down, diesel fuel gels, the hazards are damn near infinite.
