    Missouri River rise

    I would have to think that 1853.5 is still too high of a guess. It would take another couple weeks of heavy rain in MT to do anything like that. http://www.nwd-mr.usace.army.mil/rcc/reports/pdfs/weeklyupdate.pdf

    That's on the Missouri, the problem for Williston and Sakakawea is/has/will be the Yellowstone.

    Missouri River rise

    Obi, you make it sound like the Corps is also responsible for the weather. Dude, are you sure you're cutout for living next to water? If there was anything in my life that created nearly as much angst as what this does to your online persona, I'd be making some damn changes. Maybe...

    Missouri River rise

    Err, what misery? The river is expected to top out at around 13 ft, which is 1.5 ft below flood stage. How can you possibly be so worked up about the Corps operating the dam as designed and without exceeding the river stage that the state and locals have set as the "flood" stage?

    Talapia~

    MSA, Where have you ever run across smelt for human consumption at a market? All those bags of smelt they often sell/sold at grocery stores were all labled "not for human consumption". Messing with you, aside. Fresh smelt out of Sakakawea are quite edible. I found I didn't like them much...

    Knowing is an awful lot different than guessing.

    Left Lane = PASSING LANE!

    I think the bottom line here is we all advocate drivers being aware of their surroundings and courteous to other motorists. Calling the left lane of the interstate, interstate, or highway 83 a "passing lane" and insisting it is used only for such is a blatant disregard for the reason there are 4...

    Left Lane = PASSING LANE!

    Not exactly true. You can be ticketed in ND for "hindering" traffic, or something like that. At least that's a conversation I had with an LEO acquaintance who claimed he could write a ticket for this. However, that leaves hindering or obstructing traffic open to legal interpretation and you...

    Fifth Wheel Friendly

    I've had airbags in a pickup when it was used for a pop-up camper. The sway of that 1/2 ton was just too much without the airbags. I run a 2009 F250 now with a 34 ft camper at ~8,000 lbs, and a 17.5 ft Lund behind that. Overall length is 73 ft if I remember correctly, so that's not an issue...

    Long Term Care coverage

    My personal take on this: 1. If you are in your 40s, you are too late to by buying this insurance as the cost of insurance will kill you, and then you wouldn't need it anyway. 2. People talk about "protecting assets" from being used to pay for their care. Umm, #2 is exactly what should be...

    Let’s assume for a second that I don’t know much about boats

    Yeah, I once had a late 80s Mariner, 75 hp. And I went in there not knowing. Thankfully, I had a magnet that helped me round up those damn loose steel balls. Needless to say, I was woefully unprepared for the initial discovery. - - - Updated - - - Except in vocabulary, I always seem to have...

    Loss of power wiring.

    Doesn't need to be 220V to use a transfer switch and power up a couple of ciruits on 120V. The key here is that a good electrician installs the transfer switch, to the switch goes the generator, and from it the selected circuits that your generator is capable of supplying enough juice. What the...

    Let’s assume for a second that I don’t know much about boats

    Yeah, sorry man. This isn't that expensive of a task for a do-it-yourselfer, but it does take a little time. Be careful when dropping that lower unit. There are like six ball bearings in there that will bounce across your garage floor. :mad:

    Loss of power wiring.

    I think this is EXACTLY what BobKat was talking about being illegal. Granted, I am no electrician. Bob is right, go the route of a "transfer" switch and use a qualified electrician. If someone powers up the power company's wiring and kills a lineman, it seems right that they go spend some...

    Let’s assume for a second that I don’t know much about boats

    That is what's called a "weep hole". They are there to let you know when you have a leak. If you are seeing oil come out of it, it is doing it's job. You need to replace the seal at the top of your lower unit. - - - Updated - - - BTW, that prop looks a little rough. You been grinding on...

    Hah hah hah, I have a knack for underestimating the time it takes me to do things. Just ask my ex! - - - Updated - - - Speaking of buying my time, it's time to go fishing!

    There's Never Enough

    I too spent many years working too many hours even when I really loved what I did for a living. Oddly, I didn't make as much money then, so I worked even more doing those things that I just couldn't justify hiring out. Now I am fortunate enough to be able to buy some of my time back from...
