    What was your 1st boat, ever?

    First boat I owned was a 1976 Alumacraft. 16.5 ft long with metal bench seats, 25 horse Johnson and a livewell. Even though the motor generally ran well, that song about "pulling on my johnson" could have been written about me, there were a large number of times I'd have the rewind on the pull...

    Note, one used to be able to choose to go to the latest unseen post on a given thread, has that feature gone away for good?

    Boyds Harwood Stocks

    I put a Boyd's stock on my 25-06 a few years ago. 98% inletted from the factory, that last 2% was way more work than the first 98% done by a milling machine. Nonetheless, I enjoy woodworking and just let it be my hobby for a few weeks one winter using a dremel tool and sandpaper. Then I...

    natural defense

    What I want to know is what is your preferred solution? You say there's a 100 elk on your property at night, but they go back to CANADA before daylight most of the time. Sounds to me like you want some kind of a magical fence that keeps elk off of your 1.8 acres, but anything that will do that...

    Vehicle donation?

    It surely is something to consider if you are fond of a particular charity that accepts them. As far as the pros and cons outside of the touchy feely reasons, you are primarily limited to the tax benefits. Maybe a tax professional will weigh in on this, but in general most charities will be...

    Electric Vehicles

    Considering the interweb is full of Chevy volt batteries, new and refurbished around $3500, I don't think Roger Dean Chevrolet is a serious consideration when replacing the battery on one. Since a Volt is basically a glorified golf cart, did they even cost that much new?

    Rifle Scope

    LOL, most of my scopes have been 3x9s over the years, now I have some better scopes and magnification and I will tell you in no uncertain terms that while I consider myself an above average marksman, I have still missed aplenty!

    Pittbull breed, what do you think?

    It's unclear in your post, KurtR...but was that the dog's owner that shoved a finger in the sphincter of the dog? Just curious, but I'm wondering if they've played this game before.... I've given a GSP the big toe before, but that was a legit accident. ;:;popcorn

    `/*%$ taxes

    If I had my preference, I'd rather pay property taxes that go to law enforcement, schools, roads, parks, etc; all of which may be reasons why I choose to live in a given area. State income taxes are what support the general fund and can be spent on social welfare programs and vote purchases...

    Pittbull breed, what do you think?

    There are so many not-bred-for-fighting dogs out there that will still love and protect their humans that I see no need for pits, rotts, or other guard/attack dogs in the home. That being said, the last dog to actually bite me with intent was one of my sister's chihuahuas. I made it quite...

    Electric Vehicles

    I can't say that I am surprised by any of this. I'm no electrical engineer, but I'd guess putting these charging stations on the local grid in a pattern needed to ensure recharges when needed may put a stress on the local grids. What I want to know is who stands to benefit from this? Who will...

    `/*%$ taxes

    Yeah, I've seen several posts on social media from people claiming "The IRS is hiring! The government wants its IRS agents armed and its citizens disarmed. We’ll let everyone just marinate on that for a second.” Another post reads: “What would the founders have to say about 87,000 armed IRS...

    `/*%$ taxes

    So you're anti-education and teachers? Just effing with you, there really isn't enough in your original post to discern where the problem arises.

    Do you tell the family?

    Ok, so as someone who lived if GF for 9 years, let me drop some news on you. El Forke Grande is the absolute least friendly town I know of in ND to drive around, and that is odd given it's maybe the best gridded street system in the state. They a lot of weirdness in the residential areas...

    Bitcoin

    I would agree with anyone who said I don't understand crypto. Shit's just miraculously made out of thin air, and it has value? One of the original attractions to bitcoin was as a means to pay for illegal stuff with a very difficult to track method. Successful for sure in the early years...
