    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    At a minimum, I would recommend getting the snow removed from the ice surface for 30-50 yards around the sunken shack. Once the weight of all that snow is off the ice the buoyancy of ice should help it rebound upwards to help prevent the ice thickness holding the thing down from getting any worse.

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    There's already water coming up from the sounds of it through cracks. The ice won't get any thicker unless the sheet of ice sags even more. Which does bring another suggestion to bear. If a person had the equipment, I would try to remove as much weight from the ice's surface as I could. This...

    Frozen in Ice Castle ideas?

    Holy buckets! I've never seen one in that far. About the only advice I would have is to use water to free it. Yeah, it sounds counter-intuitive, but wait until there's a relatively warm day (thinking next weekend here) where air temps are in the upper 20s or 30s. Take a generator and a...

    lowrance hook 5 dsi / humminbird helix 5 di

    I will say this about the Total Scan transducer of Lowrance. 1. It's like hanging a frigging phalus off the back of your boat, so it's really out there for stuff to get caught on. Thinking fishing line, net, etc. And it sure looks easy to break off! 2. The total scan transducer is NOT good...

    Parents beware

    If anyone has a friend in the group Anonymous, this would be a better use than what they usually do with their hacking skills. Find us the A-holes responsible for going after the most vulnerable in our society, it'd go a long ways in generating some positive public relations for them.

    Parents beware

    I talked with my kids a few days ago about this. They are 11 and 13, and while they hadn't run across it personally, they have heard of it through friends, etc. While I sure as heck don't need an excuse to talk to my kids about not being stupid, this was another good opportunity for me to...

    Boat Trailer Bearings

    Interesting, that's a design style I have not run across. When you grease them, where does the grease zerk end up putting the grease in order to get fresh stuff into both the inner and outer bearing?

    Boat Trailer Bearings

    Guy, I have these on my boat, utility, and toon trailers. So here's the rub with them, because you had to know that nothing's perfect in the world of trailer bearings. That center grease zerk does just as you describe, it shoots grease in behind the inner bearing. If your are going to do more...

    Hunting & fishing combo day... is North Dakota the best?

    Depends on the bird and fish species. ND is a terrible place to hunt ptarmigan and fish for sockeye.

    Anyone else remember their mom using tomato soup as the base?

    Round or flat earth

    Flat Earthers are on a level of dumb that makes AOC look sharp.

    Moving jitters

    Hire movers. The good old days of getting your friends together with freshly cleaned out horse trailers weren't actually that good.

    February Cold

    Note, as of this time of year the mountainous headwaters have usually received about 70% of their total SWE for the winter season.

    February Cold

    The Missouri and Yellowstone headwaters are right about average for the past 30 years.

    February Cold

    To some extent, yes...I am concerned that the longer we keep going on this below normal temperature pattern and Mother Nature will eventually kick the pendulum to the other extreme. Not necessarily up in your hill country, but down here in the Banana Belt of the state and we are quickly...

    -2 h.s. hockey coaches??

    Can't say I blame anyone for having their fill of youth athletics nowadays. Everyone seems to think their kid is the next high draft pick in their respective sport so they go all in and pin their retirement hopes on that big pro contract of their kid. When I lived in GF we had a name for those...

    Yeah, this is the official data for Minot. That place sucks, as does pretty much everywhere else in the state this month. Like the Departure From Normal says, -19.2 degrees. That's a boatload of difference from the long-term average! DY MAX MIN AVG DEP HDD CDD WTR SNW DPTH SPD SPD DIR...
