    Ford F250 - 7.3 vs. 6.7

    I don't think I would recommend the diesel for you. They are not necessarily designed as daily commuters (you say 30 miles/day, so I assume one-way is 15 miles). Fifteen miles is not enough for my 6.4 to go through a regen cycle. I live only 6-7 miles from work and there have been a fair...

    Bismarck Event center

    In general there are rules about what public employees can accept as gifts, even if every similar public employee is getting the exact same thing. In this example though, a really great deal on a boat that is not available to others is generally considered a gift equal to the difference between...

    Bismarck Event center

    In these kinds of cases, it takes two to tango. Moritz should probably lose his exclusive right to sell booze at the Bismarck Event Center if they really believe the boat purchase was a form of a bribe.

    At this point, this guy belongs in the All Hah Hahs thread.

    migration 23

    I just got back from a trip to Jamestown today. Any of the prairie potholes less than about 7 ft deep are iced over. Saw a fair number of birds sitting on open water and the ice though. About 4:30 this afternoon, had a small (35-40 bird) flight of sandhills come over the house with a single...

    migration 23

    No shock here, but I can hear a few different flights of geese right now. Lots of birds heading south of Lincoln.

    The Hook

    Water temp off of Mallard Island was 56 degrees this past Sunday. The smallies and catfish were biting. Catfish in 41 ft of water, smallies were up around 19 ft.

    Mushrooms

    This was his choice in timing for his first trip on shrooms? Well, he'll probably never be let on another plane again. Much less as a pilot.

    Snow forcasted

    When it comes to snowfall, why would anyone ever take the forecast out to 2 decimal places? I get it in that the given screenshot are from a numerical model, but that's clearly suggesting a level of certainty that is not realistic.

    CAD program for yard design.

    https://learn.g2.com/free-landscape-design-software#plan-a-garden No experience with any of them, but thought it was an interesting question. One that I have asked of myself a few times with all the plantings I have around the place.

    Lawnmower starting issue

    Yeah, but worn out piston rings often leaves one with a very easy to turnover engine. If one still notes good compression on the starting attempt, that pretty much leaves you looking at other causes for improper air-fuel ratios.

    Lawnmower starting issue

    It can throw the air-fuel mixture off. Think of it akin to the old carburetor chokes, you'd never get some of those old 50s-70s engines started without using a manual choke if the engine came with one. But once the engine was warmed up, you could shut it off and restart it easily. A gummed up...

    Drury buck

    Right, I too am not saying it was raised in a high fence and sold to the top bidder, instead what I am saying is that they have exclusive enough access and control over a large enough chunk of land to as they suggested, continue passing on this animal until this year. I generally hunt where I...

    I guess I just don't have the resources to grow a deer like this. Or, the patience.

    Corner Pizza Walleye

    I wonder if it was a legal snag job? E.g. in front of the gills.

    Price of land just keeps going

    The only help with water wells that I know of from the State are under their drought water supply program from ND Dept of Water Resources for cattle. I don't think you are planning on running cattle out there, are you?

    Price of land just keeps going

    Years of low interest rates let lots of people buy more home than one could afford back in the 80s..

    Snow forcasted

    Anything over 48 hrs out is wrong as a golden rule. That goes for both the Euro and GFS, but truth be told I think a lot of forecasters favor the Euro more that half the time. As a seasoned weather forecaster once told me "if we lived on day ten in the models, the Earth would be uninhabitable".

    Euthanize a pet...

    Trust me PD, you will know if/when you have to make the call. I cried all the way to the vet's office when I had to put my first GSP down and then the next 135 miles to where I buried him. He went down-hill quickly after getting diagnosed with lymphoma. Vet said he would probably make it 6...
