    Bow mount GPS/Depthfinder

    Starting to look like I need a new (probably Lowrance) depthfinder for the bow of my boat. This time around I'd like to upgrade to a GPS unit to help keep me on an established drift line in the wind/current. I don't think my Ulterra has the Link or Bluetooth built in to connect to a...

    Finding old coins

    As a huge fan of Pawn Stars, one thing I have absolutely learned is that if I ever think I have found something valuable from yester-generations, NEVER...EVER...under any circumstances try to clean it. Doesn't matter if it's an old firearm, coin, or book...you are destroying the value of it.

    Wonder

    No ditchwitch, but I was able to troll a 4-5" wide crack in Stump lake one time about 18 years ago. I did it just because I could, for maybe 60-80 ft. Don't remember catching anything while I did that but we sure put the hurt on the perch that day from ordinary ice holes.

    Guiding Question??

    Yep, closer to 180 boats at Hazelton yesterday. And that doesn't include the number on that stretch of the river putting in at Fort Rice.

    Toilet Paper shortage

    Things are getting better. I needed to make a run to WalMart last night around 6'ish (about an hour before they close) for some milk and other basics (sunscreen). I strolled by several areas of the store that had been empty shelves in the past only to notice that not only was there TP, but...

    Ruh Roh, lol

    Try using Google Chrome, the link wouldn't work for me in Edge. Pretty cool video.

    Firewood...

    Everyone needs a hobby. I keep some of the wood I cut out back for firewood, but since most of my trees are willows and poplar, they are not worth saving. So I have an annual spring bonfire that probably scares the crap out of my neighbors. Last year's fire must have been near 30 ft high...

    Corona Virus....How Long?

    Restaurants are a low margin business a lot of the times. When I was in the Corps and taking some college coursework, one of my favorite teachers was a retired CPA who specialized in restaurants. Kind of made sure I never wanted to own one after taking a few classes from him. That last part...

    Considering Camper Remodel

    If you are doing it for work and are camping in the rough (not a campground), I'd be sure to add an outside shower. Being a bigger person, I fugging hate every camper shower I've ever been in. And yeah, finding a camper mounted grill/griddle setup would be a great idea. I have one and it's...

    The GOOD things & changes you're seeing in this mess?

    I overheard a gal in the store today belittling and talking down to her significant other over something so stupid I was thinking the same thing. I can't imagine being with someone like her at all, and she wasn't even attractive! And no, I wasn't being snoopy...she was just that loud.

    Call the dow (5/1)!

    Whoa, a specific date AND a value, ehh? While I think the market will fall to around 17000 before this is all over, I'm hoping that's soon and we start rebounding with a value on May 1st (market close) of 18,563.28.

    Social distancing beers

    I'm with you on the more sour grapefruit beers, some are tasty even if I can only stand one at a time. I don't mind an orange slice in my wheat beers, but even then it's best in moderation.

    Social distancing beers

    I like orange juice, a lot. And beer just as much, but this is a great example of "two great tastes that just aren't great together".

    Social distancing beers

    While I like Bud Light just fine, putting that orange label on it will help ensure I stay more than 6 ft away from your beer stash. It's awful, plain awful...

    Corona Virus....How Long?

    I thnk we have about 3-4 weeks in the U.S. before it's going the other direction for good. The whole social distancing thing, etc? Probably less.

    Retirement Opportunity

    Ehh, no. School's have been going to an online format. At least, mine are here in Bismarck at a private school.

    Retirement Opportunity

    By "same type of account" you mean similar stocks, mutual funds, etc, the answer is yes. However, you would have to pay taxes on that $50,000 you take out of your retirement account to put into the Roth. So I your marginal tax bracket is 20%, you would only have $40,000 in your Roth after it...

    Time to buy a new pickup?

    Just saw a Ford advertisement for up to $16k off of a new F150. Now if they would only do that for the F250s.

    Hoarders what should be done

    I stopped at WalMart yesterday to pick up some groceries. They were sold out of frozen veggies! I shit you not, they only had a few green beans, okra, and other inedible shit in the frozen veggies section. WTF???
