    Transducer issue? Or other? Humminbird Helix

    I am having issues with my Helix 7 DI unit. Worked fine until this weekend, but all of a sudden the DI image is junk and has very little definition. The 2D sonar seems to be a little less clear as well but still worked OK. No settings have been changed since the last time I used it so I am...

    Zebra Mussels Discovered in Lake Ashtabula

    I think the most realistic thought on waterfowl transporting ANS is this. What do you supposed the odds are of zeebs surviving in bird shit or in feathers versus a ballast bag or bilge of a boat? Granted their can be A LOT of waterfowl, but how many ingest/carry enough to infect a lake...

    Zebra Mussels Discovered in Lake Ashtabula

    I was certified a while back (let it lapse now) so I could take my boat into WY without being inspected. The training was an eye opener.....yeah, wildlife can transport it. But boats are the most likely carriers of the junk. All it takes is water to transport them as the velligers are...

    E85 approved for year round use? Anyone run the stuff?

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-what-trumps-ethanol-plan-means-for-farmers-refiners-and-motorists-2018-10-09 This article sums it up best..."you can approve this all day, but it doesn't mean American's want it."

    E85 approved for year round use? Anyone run the stuff?

    So I just read an article on the Argus Leader written by none other than the CEO of POET ethanol. It touted the new to me decision at the federal level to allow E85 year round. Apparently it was not allowed in some areas in summer due to pollution. He went on to say how it would increase our...

    E Bikes

    I love how all bikers are classified as city slicker d-bags.....far from the case. While I don't mountain bike in areas when the hunting seasons crank up, I surely don't get scared by a hunter with a gun. Nor does anyone I ride with. We all hunt, fish, camp, and yes, bike, hike and run. And...

    Pecker pants bikers.....

    I did a 50 miler yesterday morning, had my pecker pants on and high visibility clothing. Overall was happy with the traffic and respect given. Worst ones are the pecker pants Harley riders. Gotta make noise all the time so you notice them, don't move over for anything, and have a bimbo on the...

    Chest waders

    All depends on use. I'd rather buy Cabelas Supermags on sale for $150 every few years than spend big money on anything else if I am primarily waterfowl hunting. Just too hard on stuff. I'm not near as mean to my fly fishing stuff and would be more apt to spend more there. I've been happy...

    Pecker pants bikers.....

    OK, I'll bite. I'm a member of the pecker pants bike club, albeit in SD and not in ND. Thankfully I live in a place where I can spend most of my time on a mountain bike. That said, I do road ride in the spring and fall. Probably going to covert to a gravel bike so I can roll on pavement and...

    Fargo Teachers and 630 behavioral incidents this year so far

    I came from industry into education (high school teacher) and have lots of family in education. Having graduated 20 years ago, the changes that have occurred are incredible. The educational world that I grew up in has so drastically changed. And for those of you who maybe are out of school...

    E Bikes

    As an avid biker, I see the benefits of E-Bikes but I am not a fan of opening up every trail to them. Maybe it's like traditional bowhunters vs. compound hunters back in the day. We're all here to enjoy the same thing, maybe method shouldn't matter. From a straight mountain biking standpoint...

    April Snowpocalypse

    Rapid is over a foot. I was just in Belle and it's probably 14" or so. Less south and west. Mud Butte area along 212 had 18" yesterday alone. But the wind has been mild to the west. East is UGLY. From about Murdo east the wind has been crazy and lots of snow. Drifts are big, 6-10' in...

    April Snowpocalypse

    How much up there now Kurt? The heavy stuff is hitting W SD harder than they thought. We are on the edge of it and I think much of our precip came as rain last night. 10 miles away they have a foot. Lots of ice farther east, that will be hard on the pheasants. There will certainly be an...

    April Snowpocalypse

    We had hard rain, then hail, then sleet, then snow, all with lightning and thunder last night in W SD. Lots of rain through the night. Probably 3" of snow now but tough to see the 12"+ they are talking about unless the storm really gets with it. It looks like it is a bit further north than...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    That is good to hear! Hope all goes well tomorrow and that sucker is off the lake. Several guys in E SD who are in similar conditions. Hope everyone gets them off!

    house/basement leveling

    Gypcrete isn't fun to deal with. And even though it is lightweight you are still adding a lot of dead load to a probably already stretched set of joists. Leveling with joists on top can work, though you are going to end up with areas that are less than the thickness of your new subfloor that...

    Snow totals

    They missed it a bit in SD too, but not everywhere. The Black Hills got over 2' at higher elevations. The wind has been wicked as well, pretty good drifts. I am glad for the wildlife it blew a lot or areas clean. I had about 6" of new stuff on the ground last night and woke up to bare...

    Snowmobile fuel mileage

    One thing that can make a big difference when towing or even going slow is gearing down. I don't have any gear charts available, but when I was riding a lot we geared them down 3-4 teeth (enough to use the current chain) and it made a huge difference. It changes your RPM range slightly but...

    Wish I had this.....

    We did some big driveways in the past and all I can say is you better be willing to pay for it. Lots of sq. ft. equals a lot of gas being burned. One customer left it on over the course of a cold spell accidentally and paid a $2000 gas bill that month. I would do it for a sidewalk/entry like...
