    for you pickup mechanics out there

    Regrettably, I think you have your answer. All they did was confirm your own initial suspicions. Tough pill to swallow, but unless someone else chimes in I would think you were right all along.

    gst, I hate to point out the obvious here, but you are merely repeating yourself. Repetitiveness doesn't change the facts. When the law hits the lights and gives you an opportunity to surrender without harm, I suggest taking advantage of it. I can't answer as to what was in any of the...

    "I have not gone thru law enforcement training, but I would bet a steak supper there is a portion of it on de escalating bad situations which one if looking at this from an informed position would argue the FBI did the opposite of." Nor have I, but I am guessing that the next chapter covers...

    I don't know, gst. This is kind of damning of Finicum's actions. Unless you think it's a good idea to run from the law and pack heat when dealing with the gov't. Personally, I don't think it's a healthy choice. Astarita is accused of firing twice at Finicum as Finicum emerged from his white...

    Depends on the fertilizer, but I'd imagine they are all appropriately labeled. My only real experience with mass fertilizer application is anhydrous ammonia. Not much inert material with that stuff. Since we live in ND, I wouldn't spend an awful lot of money on phosphorous soils anyway, but...

    Fire by Grassy Butte

    Hah, we had no garage! In this story, the squirrel shorted out the power pole going to my barn. He got cooked medium well from that little misadventure and I put his arse up on a post for the hawks to find.

    By definition, tile drainage is one way to combat increasingly alkaline soils. The mechanism for the vast majority of alkaline white spots on the countryside is fairly well understood. Water, mostly from rain, infiltrates down into the ground. This rain water is a powerful solvent and if it...

    Fire by Grassy Butte

    Back in the early 2000s, the Deep Creek fire burned a bunch of the whitetail habitat in the area. I ended up getting a nice 6x6 whitey that year as I was able to find more of them in the muley country I typically hunted. It is still early enough in the year to think that area can green back up...

    bow steps

    Note on the bow steps, make damn sure you cover them well in non-slip tape! The ones on my Toon's trailer were downright dangerous until I added some more non-slip tape I just happened to have around. The problem is that the steps are steep and the edges are well rounded. So they were a...

    Need a little help

    The dump I owned in GF had a wasp problem. They infested the overhang on the front porch. I thought I killed them once with a full can of bug killer squirted up in there, and then I plugged the hole with a can of expandable spray foam. A few hours later the bastards all found a way into the...

    bow steps

    If you are talking about steps mounted on the trailer, they are AWESOME! I don't have them on my boat trailer, but I do on the Toon trailer and it is amazing how much I use/like/need them. So much that I am thinking my next boat will have them as well!

    These work quite well, I have been using them for years.

    HVAC question

    hell, with as "tight" as most HVAC vents close and the less than stellar fit between HVAC pieces, you should be able to close all your basement vents with no problem. I do it here in the summer, and I did it at my last house where I did the HVAC for the basement and taped all the connections...

    new trolling rod

    I bought a couple of the Scheels extendable trolling rods this spring. They're north of 8 ft, maybe 8'10"? Not the most expensive rods around and even for the price I don't think I'd recommend them. They have pretty weak eyes. I've already broken one off and in hindsight now see how they are...

    Patience is a virtue

    Hopefully remm has remedied his lack of help in getting a boat in and out of the water. Just yesterday I watched two grown men load their boat and then stop ON the ramp to tarp it up before pulling ahead. It wasn't exactly a busy ramp, but they gave me more time than I actually needed to...

    There were a handful of boats patrolling the dam yesterday evening. Don't know if they had any success though.

    Patience is a virtue

    Oh my, there would be a confrontation of epic proportions if someone ever did that to my son who was simply following my directions.

    Patience is a virtue

    Given the average age of the douchiest of the douches that get worked up at a ramp, I'd suggest recertification at around age 35-40. You know, just when a person has enough experience to think they no longer need to remember a different time in their own development.

    Patience is a virtue

    Didn't notice any Oakleys, but yeah it was a jacked up POS worth about 1/12th the cost of the boat. Maybe even less.

    Patience is a virtue

    So I was up at Van Hook this past weekend, or more the New Town area in general. On one occasion, I was in line to pull the Toon off the lake using the main ramp at Van Hook. There was a fella in line ahead of me who was vocally announcing his displeasure at how fast those ahead of us were...
