    Bismarck: I look down at the ground when people ask me where I am from

    OK, I'll ask the dumb question. What's the COE doing wrong now? Seems like post 2011 flood, if there's any inkling of larger amounts of water entering the system unplanned, that adding capacity with a pre-emptive draw-down makes for a fairly logical end-point. Having grown up in Bismarck, and...

    Summer Perch

    I'm certainly not saying that they can't be caught earlier in the year. I was only stating the time and structure I've been able to find them somewhat consistently.

    August, on deep structure opposite Walleye and Pike. If the walleyes/pike are on top of the structure, the perch are on the edges and vice-versa. 1/8oz or lighter jigs and crawler chunks.

    Cordless Tool Batteries

    I doubt I'll be swapping my cordless tools over to another brand. I don't use them nearly enough the way it is. To say that I'd use them as a "hobbyist" is doing a dis-service to hobbyists. But, since I own them, I want them to work as they should when I do need them. Maybe someone will run...

    Cordless Tool Batteries

    I have 5-6 ~9yr old 18V Nimh Dewalt batteries. They're all getting so that they don't provide much power and certainly don't last very long. Is there anything that can be done with them other than just recycling them? I've seen the "jumper them back to life" videos on YouTube, I'm skeptical...

    The Farm Bill

    Farm Bureau and Farmers Union aren't elected either are they? They must be OK though because they keep the "Gimme Gimme $$'s" headed your way. "Gimme Gimme Gabe" has his hand out again. Gimme Gimme Gabe isn't happy unless he's getting the "Triple Dip". He wants CRP and he wants to be paid @...

    Cold blooded 9.9 Mariner

    4-stroke shouldn't load up idling low unless you're running rich or have oil blowing past the rings. My 2012 9.9 4-stroke Yamaha needs a couple pumps of the bulb and the choke the 1st start of the day. Once you've run it even just idling a couple minutes it starts with a quick press of the...

    NHL Playoffs

    No way the NHL will let Vegas GK lose. Way too much exposure and a "Golden" opportunity to bring the NHL off "The Ocho" and into the mainstream. NHL owners are salivating @ the increase in their teams' overall net worth. Somedays I wish I wasn't so cynical. Howe about this, I'll cheer for...

    Boat engine repair

    New fuel w/no ethanol and a healthy dose of Seafoam. New plugs. 10min WOT. Muffs on a hose and carb cleaner right into the butterflies running @ max fast idle is a fairly quick and efficient problem solver too. IME, new plugs and fresh fuel solve A LOT of carburetor issues 2 or 4 stroke.

    best NEW walleye fishing boat...

    1. When actually fishing, the difference between AL and Glass is most evident in how much straighter it tracks when trolling (electric, kicker, or main) as well as predictability in a drift. 2. You need more trolling motor because you can never have enough. I went from an 18.5'/95.5" wide AL...
