    NFL News (Vikings)

    Personally, I like the Viking's chances of winning the stupid bowl as much as any other team left playing. But to be the best, you're going to have to line up the best in the league and beat them. That's never an easy thing to do. For as they say in the NFL...on any given Sunday. Shiite...

    Interesting ice formations found on farm south of Scranton, ND

    No, not the same. One is a crystallization process (birdbath), hence the regular shape; the other is a depositional environment and creates the more artistic look. Interestingly, I've never seen the birdbath ice spikes before now.

    New Flooring

    The only thing I will say with respect to hardwoods is to not go that route if you have active dogs. I put teak in a basement a number of years ago and the GSPs nails would leave grooves in the otherwise smooth finish. Not really scratch it, just leave long dings as they spun their wheels...

    Interesting ice formations found on farm south of Scranton, ND

    These are natural phenomena that you can find just about any year along some stream in ND. Basic premise is that there is a source of dissolved gas in the water below the ice. Whether this comes from biological decay (such as swamp gas in wetlands), or aeration of the water coming over a small...

    Tattoos... who on NDA has at least one?

    I've made an awful lot of questionable decisions in life, but when it comes to ink and holes I seem to sober up quickly.

    Freezing sewer vent pipes

    $60 frigging dollars for that is highway robbery! A "T" and a couple feet of soldered in pipe is going to set a person back, about $10?

    Fish Preferences??

    I too would prefer to fish somewhere that a guy at least has a chance of catching a variety. Places like Sibley, where I can go and catch 30 fifteen inch eyes is fine when I'm in the mood to fill the freezer, but my desire would be to fish somewhere where I can catch five fish spread out...

    Which one of you.....

    Ditto here, I spent 4 yrs split between workover and drilling rigs. Tough way to make a living that is best for those unattached fellas in their 20s. I tire of BS easy.

    No such luck. It is going to be shi-tay.

    Which one of you.....

    It was early January in 1988 where I was chaining out of the hole wet on a drilling rig that changed my life. Nothing like spending 8 hours soaked in hot, then cold, diesel fuel based mud on a -40 degree day to encourage a career change. I went into the Marines a couple months later. After...

    Tree Order Time

    Hah hah, it's pretty shallow right now. This winter will likely see it freeze to the bottom. If you run out of places to put things, let me know. I can always find room for another fruit tree.

    Tree Order Time

    About 30 cherry (meteor, Montmorency, and North Star), and about the same number in a mixture of apples (Honeycrisp, Statefair, etc). Gets a little spendy to buy them at $30-50 each from box office stores.

    Tree Order Time

    Am I the only one disappointed in the fruit tree offerings through Linocoln-Oakes? It'd be great if they put a little effort into satisfying large plantings of quality fruit.

    Well good for him, adoption has never really been in the cards for me but I can fully understand the want to help shepherd a growing human through life.

    Property Tax Increase

    Property Tax Increase

    I'll tell you this. If you're trying to get a deed recorded in Burleigh County, your attorney best dot the T's and cross the I's. Because they look at them here and if it's not keeping with their wishes on the verbiage, they will tell you to do it again. I had that problem a few years ago. I...

    Better or Worse?

    While I'd prefer to not discuss my personal finances in much detail on a public forum, let's just say that there is a reason the bill is nearly 500 pages long.
