    Pontoons for fishing?

    Just like out of a boat, you can pretty easily fish 4 lines while running cranks, if you are wanting to run more than that you should probably use planer boards.

    turkey hunt

    I usually have turkeys around come spring, but haven't seen any lately. I'll let you know if they start showing up around here. I'm out by Lincoln, BTW.

    Pontoons for fishing?

    The 150 Merc 4-S on a 22 ft tritoon idles at about 2.2 - 2.5 mph in forward gear and a medium load of humans. Closer to 1.3 mph in reverse at idle. Hence why I pull spinners a lot of time in reverse if the wind isn't favorable. If idling in forward, I best be pulling cranks as it's too fast...

    Pontoons for fishing?

    One should be able to fish 7 bobbers, so long as the fish don't have a preferred side of the toon. One in each corner from designated chairs, one off of the couch, the driver, and one off the very front of the toon while sitting on a cooler.

    Drought?

    Most people would agree that floods suck, water where not wanted can be awfully destructive. However, droughts are far more likely to cause long-term changes in population as people move away from droughts.

    Boats seats

    Kind of the same concept as mesh office chairs. We have a few, and while they are not my preference for my desk, they are pretty comfy. I think I'd like them more in the boat. Perhaps a lot more. Especially if they were as durable as my now 20-year-old vinyl-covered Lund boat seats.

    Looking forward to them joining my already diverse neighborhood. (V, we need a sigh emoji)

    Bismarck high water.

    Cool machines, never seen one of them before. I wonder how well they would work on grounded ice as opposed to ice floating on water?

    Bismarck high water.

    The general idea was to create waves that would put Archimedes Principle into effect by creating waves that would lift and break up some ice. I am kind of torn on how effective it really was on a 3+ mile long ice jam. An argument could probably be made that every little bit helps.

    Bismarck high water.

    Ice breakers are heavy, they run into thick ice and they ride up on top to push it down and break it. The draft of them is considerably more (I'd guess 8-10 ft for even a small, light duty ice breaker) than our average walleye boats which are often less than 2 ft. We don't have many boat ramps...

    Real Estate Taxes

    Let's put it this way, just this morning I was reading an article about how California is losing its high earners as they flee the tax structure of California. They just went below 39,000,000 residents (legal???) for the first time since 2015...

    Real Estate Taxes

    As a percentage, yes. However, the median home value is around $660k compared to the $232k here in ND. The property tax on a median home is about $4,700 in CA compared to $2,300 here in ND. Let's remember they also enjoy up to a 14.4% state income tax versus our maximum of 2.5%, state sales...

    Only an idiot who hasn't done their homework would legitimately try to blow up ice.

    Bismarck high water.

    This is correct from what I have also heard. We had a democratic delegation in Congress at the time. One of them sat on a very important committee to the Corps from what I understand.

    Well, ice can really suck at times: https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=bis&gage=biwn8 No significant impacts yet, but this story isn't over by any stretch of the imagination.

    Boating Access of the Future?

    Heck, I haven't even tried to read the MN fishing regulations in many years. Their fishing proclamation is worse than an encyclopedia. And I've probably fished less than 6 times total in MN, even though I spent 9 years in Grand Forks.

    Snowpocalypse

    LOL, ain't that the truth. I had a seasoned meteorologist tell me years ago that if we lived on days 7-10 of the GFS, Earth would be uninhabitable. There's some wisdom in his observations.
