    Keeping spirits/alchohol

    I make some fruity vodka and sugar based liqueurs. They taste like Robitussin when you first make them, but store them buggers in the fridge for 6 months and they are awesome. Store them another 6 months and they are unbelievably delicious. Store them for a couple of years and...who are we...

    "Hiker" style hunting boot recommendation?

    I think the reality is you need a few pairs of boots that fit your feet well AND have their own advantages. I think I own 3 currently, and usually have 4. They are all bought to fill a niche as no single footwear is the "best" at all situations. We have those (my Timberlands) that we like for...

    epilepsy in dogs

    Crap. While I was holding some hope for the girl, this is what I was afraid of deep down. So sorry to hear this Dirty, and I cried like a baby as I took my first GSP to meet his maker. It sucks.

    Cabelas

    If you've been watching the energy industry as of late (last year or two). Elliot Management (Paul Singer) has been very active in destroying oil companies that operate in ND. I'm not sure at all how a company like Whiting has been allowed to declare bankruptcy with over 7 billion dollars in...

    Introduction

    What's this "ice" shit you guys are talking about? It's amazing as hell what a 150 miles N or S makes in this state when it comes to spring fishing. I haven't bounced much ice off of the hull in a month already.

    Slow your ass down and pay attention!

    Thanks for the added info. I haven't been around the Heskitt area much the past couple years. Sounds like the zoo I remember though.

    .22 or .177 Pellet Gun

    I laugh every time I see that video and think if'n that were me, I'd probably wait a second before I walk into the house mumbling "got that effer".

    epilepsy in dogs

    This sucks! I've only had one dog ever have a seizure and he was already 13+ and at the end of his longevity anyway, so the ex and I decided then and there to have him put down. Really feel sorry for you and the whole family on this and hope the vet has a better solution for you than putting...

    "Hiker" style hunting boot recommendation?

    Nope, my Keen hikers are very stiff soled. - - - Updated - - - They are probably almost 10 years old though, so maybe they've changed it up a little over the years?

    .22 or .177 Pellet Gun

    The question I have is how many acres are you trying to defend here? I have a Gamo single pump air rifle and it's taken out a number of rabbits and muskrats without a problem. I suppose the range is sub 80-90 ft. Anything more than that and I tend to grab the old Ruger 10/22...

    "Hiker" style hunting boot recommendation?

    Hiking in ND (or in general), I've never understood the attraction to the super stiff sole of a Keen. I have a pair and will never wear the damn things out, but I only take them out when it's snow covered terrain in 20-45 degree temps because of their great waterproofing. Otherwise, I like a...

    Slow your ass down and pay attention!

    I can understand not putting names out there, but I think a lot of us are curious as to "where" this happened, and that's not something that i'd consider a national secret. I was down at Hazelton a couple years ago the day it happened there as a guy rounded the corner with his bow held high...

    Question experienced fishermen

    McDowell is electric only, and I'm not even sure it's open yet. Or will be open during the whole social distancing thing, it's kind of a unique animal. Sweet Briar is a no-wake lake, as is Harmon (I think). Nelson is a catch and release place due to the fish being full of parasites. Crown...

    Wentz Replaced in Philadelphia?

    Ahh, you're thinking of retirement income. I was thinking in the here and now since he's a few years away from retiring. The bottom line though is that the gov't tends to look at where the income was earned if it's salaried or hourly. Oil workers coming up to ND pay ND state income tax for the...

    Pergola foundation

    Tikka is correct for structural integrity. However, I know nothing about your local code. If you need a building permit, they will help guide you.

    Wentz Replaced in Philadelphia?

    I don't think it's that simple. He will pay state tax based on where it's earned. At one point, the states with high income taxes (New York, California) tried to get professional athletes to pay their state's tax when playing games there even if they played for a Texas (wherever) team. Not...

    High speed pit maneuver

    One can say law shouldn't pursue people for small infractions (speeding, running stop signs, etc), but if they don't we'd see an awful lot more of people running from the law. As it stands right now, people generally run because of something much larger than the observed infraction. They are...

    Wentz Replaced in Philadelphia?

    Good. I'd like to see Wentz with the Vikings, where he belongs. Actually, if you're the Eagles you have learned the value of a good backup QB. Whether it's an injury or even if it turns into an outright competition for the job, that worked pretty well for teams like SF and NE and AZ and GB...

    Opti Overhaul

    I dropped the lower unit on a late 80s Mariner in order to replace the water pump. About shit myself when the bearings bounced out the garage door. It was a real WTF was that moment. I'm not horribly shy about doing mechanicking, but today's stuff is just beyond my experience (and tool box)...

    Rob Gronkowski going to the Bucs.

    I think the Bucs are going to regret picking up Brady. Gronk, maybe not so much. Brady looks to me like Favre did in his last year, old.
