    Berry varieties for the garden

    Honey berries for sure, blueberries are a pain in the arse around here. Juneberries are great, but the birds raise hell with them at my place. Gooseberries are a novelty that wears off quickly. I've been thinking about trying mulberry, but have no idea how they will do around here (Bismarck...

    Trolling Motor Opinions

    I am guessing a 6ft shaft on a 16 ft boat is not necessary, especially since I once had a 16 ft Smokercraft and wouldn't want to be out in waves that require a 6 ft shaft. The spotlock is good if the wind isn't howling. The older models struggled with it in high winds, mine did anyway...

    Oroville Dam - California

    I seriously doubt they will pave the emergency spillway in this case, but they may shape it. It does not look like there's much of a shape to what was there already. Wide and flat is preferred. They are left grassy intentionally with the understanding that it will erode when in use and...

    Oroville Dam - California

    savage270 is on point here with his observation. They knew about this problem a while back according to some news stories I read. So for the cost of $XX,XXX in repairs that were put off, there will now be a hell of a repair bill. Perhaps in the hundreds of millions of dollars. And rest...

    Oroville Dam - California

    A little bit of water and the human proclivity to believe we can control it will forever fascinate me.

    Happiness.

    Yep, bring on the boats and beer! Mine is getting a makeover this weekend for the coming spring. I'm hoping to be on the river in a few weeks.

    New troller

    Looks like I'll have a 10 yr old 24V, 70lb Powerdrive that was upgraded to IPilot 3 years ago. Not used to dealing in used boat stuff, so I have no idea what something like that is worth. Anyone got some suggestions on starting price? The IPilot and everything works, I just wanted to get an...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    When your elected chairman openly calls for protesters to join the fight and then gets himself arrested on the frontlines of said fight, I don't think you'd need a great attorney to argue that the Tribe itself has some culpability. How much culpability though? Now that is the big question...

    where is my coffee?

    Yep, this is how the demise of Fishing Buddy got it's running headstart into nothingness. Since there are websites out there like the Chive, etc. I gotta wonder, how do they keep their virtual doors open through advertising if the Coffee thread was too much?

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Tschida is run by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. I think the better way to put it is that the U.S. taxpayers get pissy when you foul up public waters with your crap.

    Proposed Measure 5 changes (Medical Marijuana)

    Only a frigging politician can take a perfectly fine thing like MM and complain about how much it will cost the state to manage it. Here's a suggestion...how about DON'T manage it? Let the pharmaceutical industry already in place for dealing with other drugs take care of it. For the love of...

    Proposed Measure 5 changes (Medical Marijuana)

    Crap, if not wanting to have Uncle Sam, State, bureaucrat, or self-righteous legislator coming between me and my doctor's agreed upon treatment for whatever ails me is all that's needed to be a liberal, I guess I'm a liberal too. This will be quite the shock to my democrat friends.

    Selling of your public lands.

    Sounds like he got a lot of negative attention on social media. Whatever it takes!

    What are your thoughts on this?

    Knowing how to catch a fish and knowing how to maintain a fishery takes two totally different skillsets. I fish as darn often as I can, some fish go back in the water, a lot of them come home to meet the blade. Why? Because I can't remember the last time I had a frozen pack of shrink-wrapped...

    fishing tournies and taxes

    I suggest stop winning. That'll help remove your problem. :cool: Actually, I am pretty sure there are ways to deduct the expenses, but I would probably pay a professional tax preparer to make sure it's done right. At least for the first time I tried it, then in subsequent years you can...

    Other hobbies/interests

    Chasing my kids to all their sporting and school activities. Traveling, splitting it up by going both with the kids once a year and just the galpal and I for another trip. Concerts, live comedy, and pro/college sporting events have also made a late appearance/comeback in life for me along with...

    Who here has instagram?

    Well the 10% society claims to be everywhere. Can't really surprise you too much to find one on the internet, can it?:;:duel By the way, these two are actually using banjos for your benefit.:D

    Durable line for pike infested waters

    Knot too kinky, available at fine Walmarts near you. It's the tie-able titanium stuff. I use it in pike infested waters during the summer. Great stuff!
