    Toby and the Infamous Ban-Hammer!!!

    That may be true, but there ain't a one of us who would like for our dirty laundry to be aired when it was sent as a personal message. Trust me, I think about it often and choose to not indiscriminately share. Seems to be the higher road less taken.

    Lund windshield replacement

    Contact BobKat on Fishing Buddy or here, I don't see him on here often though. He just recently had the driver's side on his Lund smashed by a flying rock. Not sure if he's fixed it yet, but the two of you may be able to work together on a mutually agreeable one full winshield deal for people...

    New FBO in "a few days"

    Much like when Cabelas moved into East Grand Forks and made Scheels and Home of Economy much more responsive to their customers, I suspect NDA here will push FBO into being better about serving their customers than they are at serving "Google". Sooner or later, a person comes to the conclusion...

    Aluminum vs Fiberglass

    There are pros and cons to both. One of the things that I like about glass is the ride, way superior to aluminum because the manufacturers can simply better form the hull for hydrodynamic characteristics. Rivets have never been a problem for me in 20 yrs of owning aluminum, but you do hear...

    Lease or buy? need your opinions guys.

    I think Sweeney summed it up for me. The guys writing the lease terms have done the math. IF, and only if, you were to put on exactly the lease allowed number of miles do you get the full value for your lease based on the economics in play when the lease is offered to you. What happens at the...

    Dog Clubs Around the State.

    There is the Central Dakota Chapter of North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) located in Bismarck. I know there are members from at least as far away as Minot.

    Trailer bunk board options.

    I just had a bolt holding one of my guide-on fall out today. Reminds me of why I hate bunk trailers. Buy a boat with a good hull and let her roll!

    Stocking a private pond.

    Best reference for such interbasin transfer of biota I know of would be the supporting documents for the Red River Valley Water Supply Project's EIS. They spent a good deal of time on this topic because of Canada and Minnetucky.

    The Regular 40 Hour Work Week

    Highly variable for me, supposed to work 40, but when I have the kids I get in about 35-38. Weeks I don't have the kids are more like 40-42, and then there's the busy season where I work anywhere up to 35 days in a row of 8-16 hr days. Hopefully those years are now behind me (us). And wow...

    60 trees and bushes later................................

    If the tree gets to be old enough and you still aren't seeing much fruit, try wounding it in the late fall by trimming the heck out of it. This seems to work on pear and apple trees. In particular, the pear tree I have now (well, one of a few) was known to kind of having stopped producing...

    Deep Fryer Oil Disposal

    I use new oil in the pan every time for making fish. Then when it cools I toss a wad of paper towels in the garbage can and just pour it into the garbage. I only use about an inch deep oil bath though in a frying pan to make fish. It works for me anyway.

    Just filled boat & truck

    Typically when I fill the pickup needs about almost 28 gallons of $3 diesel, and the boat takes about 18 gallons of $3 gas. So right around $130. The boat doesn't get filled nearly as often as the pickup though. May burn about 5 tanks of gas in that over the course of the summer. It's going...

    top soil erosion?

    "They" would not be me. The cycle I have seen is roughly 22-25 yrs between the peaks (about 11-12 years at a time on each side of normal). Depending on one's opinion of "climate change or global warming", we are either just coming off the peak or we will continue to change. About the only...

    Walleye Taste vs Northern Pike Taste?

    Northerns are great eating, just so long as they don't come out of warm water. Also, their lateral line can be more robust than that found on a 16 inch walleye, so take some time to get rid of the darker flesh. As for comparing them to walleyes? To each their own, both are great table fare...

    NEW GROUP = Fishing Buddy All-Stars!!!

    I vote we ban Lycan until such time as he develops more of a JohnR style taste in women. Damnit boy!

    Stop copying FBO forum topics

    Right, the Friday Funnies is the longest running and most successful thread on FBO. Then again, it does pre-date current management. If we can't copy it, can we at least send a team over to steal it?

    Who Drinks Alcohol While Fishing?

    I love my beer, but cannot remember the last time I had even 2 beers while fishing. After the fish are cleaned? Now that's a different story. - - - Updated - - - Gotta admit, I love that this site isn't hypocrisy driven. :D

    Our "Real Job"

    I work with water quantity, in particular the problem of too much. In the past I've been farm-raised, Oilfield Trash, commercial fisherman, U.S. Marine, maintenance supervisor for a park, gambling site manager, near professional student, and lectured/did research at UND with respect to water...

    Calling our Lost Members

    Yeah, I've been a member of FBO since it first hit the scene, but all I see over there now reminds me of when Coca Cola went to the New Coke version FBO. Good to see a lot of familiar ID's and faces.

    Calling our Lost Members

    Aw fudge, I see Allen finally got called up from the minors. So much for no Jackwagons.
