    Auger blade sharpening.

    I used the green belt and sharpened my old chipper blade with success. I used the coarse green belt in order to apply very little pressure to keep the belt straight as Guy mentioned above. Sharpened both the blade and the point.

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    All I'm saying is line up a brand new KTM 250 SX and a brand new KTM 250 SXF in a straight drag race. I will put down as big of a bet anybody will match on the 2 stroke using 10 year old technology.

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Here is the YZ 125 2 stroke vs the YZ 250 4 stroke. More usable power on double the cc four stroke, but still more peak power by the little 2 stroke. Most 250 2 strokes put out around 45-48 horsepower. That's about 40-50% more peak power than the 250 4 strokes.

    The local critters thank you.

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    I agree with everything but this. The 125cc 2-stroke class turned into the 250 4-stroke class and the 250 2-stroke class turned into the 450 4-stroke class. It does take more cc's to be competitive with a 4-stroke so far.

    Winnipeg 2018

    I've been thinking about heading up there again, but I know it won't be as good as the glory years and the featureless bowl makes it like playing roulette as far as where you drill your holes. Fishing has been better that last year, but I want me a teener and I haven't seen much of them. I...

    Old Timers Memory

    Another one is "to beat the band". As in "He was on that sled going to beat the band before he crashed" Or "looks like old Chuck is drinking to beat the band." Basically means to "out do" everybody.

    Florida School Shooting

    I have 2 kids in school and one more that will be shortly. The answer to this is not an easy one. I don't think you are going to eliminate the pharmaceutical issue, or change society as a whole. An armed guard may sound good, but who is going to stand there with pistol for 15 bucks an hour to...

    Old Timers Memory

    Dad uses a lot of the OP phrases. Kinda neat. A few more I've heard: "Holy Toledo!" "Can't dance and it's too wet to plow"

    Weather app on this site

    Going fishing with W/NW wind and before a major weather front usually helps, but you can catch in all conditions if right place right time. I hate east winds. Sometimes I stay home with those on the forecast. That or immediately after a huge front. More times than not those conditions make a...

    Ice augers

    I use Nils bits and they transmit almost no torque back to the handles. They make the way a Mora cuts look jerky and archaic. Shavers are far more efficient barring dirty ice. I dwell in the east so dirty ice hasn't been an issue.

    Federal removal of state gun laws?

    I was thinking the same thing. I don't really see the negative if there isn't a lot more to it. If you live in ND and head to Illinois, you can still carry your sidearm. Sounds handy in Chicago.

    It's time to panic!

    I got a full shaker you can have if you pick it up. Wasn't my cup of tea.

    24 year old walleye out of Sakakawea

    Probably poor growth conditions most of it's life and the genes of Danny DeVito.

    24 year old walleye out of Sakakawea

    A 4.5 lb 20" fish would be built like a cheese wheel.

    Why?

    If you test the ice conditions beforehand and they're good, no biggie. Just driving out "blind", not good.

    I'd do it just to say "Release the Hounds!" in my best Mr. Burns voice.:D

    Bow upgrade to garmin

    I've been fiddling with a Echomap Chirp 73cv and it is stupid easy to operate. Never even had to open the owners manual and I haven't touched a Garmin before. Even Panoptix isn't much of a learning curve. Adjustable cone on traditional sonar in 1 degree increments from 7 degrees to 16...
