    School Reopening

    The accountability for work is huge. Expectations were low last spring with the quick onset of things. This can't become an excuse for students to not do their work or do a poor job at it. Too many want to leverage it. I agree on the face to face. However, I think the mixed face to face /...

    Planer Boards

    I think the Church Boards handle heavier applications better than the Offshore's. But the Offshore boards do a better job with lighter applications and big waves/wind. I have heard too that the Cabelas boards are good. All my board tactics have been off the bottom, but this weekend I may...

    Tying Your Own Spinner Rigs

    If you want to pull faster, the have much less resistance than other types of blades. But don't work as well at slow speeds. I have had a couple days where they were a clear winner....but those days were few compared to Colorado blades or Smile blades. No reason I can figure out they worked...

    School Reopening

    I don't disagree that many "essential" workers have certainly played the role they signed up to. Teacher are ready to do the same. However if you're a 60 year old teacher with a lot of health issues, I think they should be have an option to leave or teach the virtual options.

    School Reopening

    I'll be in school right with the kids as an educator. I believe kids need to be there for themselves and for us to work toward normalcy again. That said, there are several things that need to be addressed- -Protections for vulnerable staff. There are lots of older teachers that are certainly...

    Tying Your Own Spinner Rigs

    Whats the best snell tying aid? I have a little red one with a pull through needle of sorts, but you have to be perfect to not kink the line on double rigs. I tie them to burn up time in the winter, if I go crazy I usually have several years worth. I would like to see someone sell a GOOD...

    Zebra Mussels found in Lake Lamoure

    Yes they contribute to weed growth due to increased water clarity. Or that is at least the theory. Obviously, some plants aren't going to grow beyond a certain depth in most cases, so this can be argued to a point. I think you would have to see a marked difference in water clarity for weed...

    Zebra Mussels found in Lake Lamoure

    Yes, Francis Case has them. So I am guessing Sharpe does too, lots of boat hopping there. And if Sharpe does, Oahe will too. With the amount of OOS spring fishing that happens on Francis Case it isn't a surprise. And they're taking them home to their lakes now too. Pickerel Lake in NE SD...

    cloud seeding...

    Not denying it has an impact, but shouldn't you be able to take cumulative precipitation models (during the months the seeding is occuring) and verify that rain is being dumped before it gets there? If it's that black and white, it seems it should be relatively easy to see in the precipitation...

    Down Goes DAPL

    DAPL isn't the only pipeline in our neck of the prairie that is facing hurdles. The Supreme Court's decision is a big setback to the Keystone XL...they're not doing anything till late next year IF at all. The incredible investments they already have already made are pretty impressive. There's...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Heat and not a lot of rain aren't helping me. For some reason my city water does not do much for my garden. It obviously helps some but my yard is looking rough too with lots of water. Pretty common thing. Less mowing I guess, but the garden is looking pretty weak!

    2020 Deer Drawing

    Do 30k people really apply for a muzzleloader tag in ND? It's a tough draw in SD but its probably 6k people. That is insane to me, a good hunt for sure but not to that point....

    Tandem towing

    I must treat my truck like a princess and drive like a candy ass, because I see no way my 1/2 ton truck could EVER pull tandem. In my mind I have to run the living hell out of it with a 26' bumper pull camper OR my 19' Pro V to keep it in the 65 mph range. Hills or wind just eat you up, flat...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My tomatoes got pounded pretty good along with onions. Other stuff was a bit more protected. How do they bounce back from hail? I could probably get new ones and plant them, just getting late for me.

    Dicamba Drift?

    It's hard to blame tree damage just on Dicamba. We have some trees that sit in a poor position for spray drift and have never done well. There's no Dicamba being used there up until maybe two years ago, but plenty of spray damage before. Hard to say it is 100% of the cause, but similar 5 row...

    Hail claims?

    Thanks for the info. I knew the roof was totaled but once I got up there I was surprise at the damage. Probably 20 spots nearly went through the shingles, and did for sure in a few spots. Good 30 year Malarkey shingles that are less than 5 years old. Pretty nasty hail. We'll see how the...

    South Dakota sink holes

    The note in the development application apparently stated there may have been a mine and test holes should be done. But, it was also noted no obvious depressions or issues were noted at the time. Western SD at the county level= stone age/wild west/no regulation. At least in comparison to...

    South Dakota sink holes

    Something along the lines of 75 million I think. Developers, county, state, are all involved. State had mining permits on it. County did too and part of the application for the development included a note that test holes should be done. It's going to be messy, but if the burden of proof is...

    Hail claims?

    I know I can find damage up there. I'm just tired of doing it every three years it seems. Any disadvantage of waiting?

    Hail claims?

    Got pounded with hail last night, golf ball to tennis ball size with lots of smaller stuff. Vehicles were inside but the house took a few hits. Not near as bad as I thought it would be, gutters have some dings but not bad. Fascia took a few hits and a few holes in screens. Haven't been on...
