    The Farm Bill

    In general, one tends to only file lawsuits when they think the law, or is this case, the terms of the contract, are on their side. Farmers and ranchers, much like myself, can't sign a contract and then wish to hay CRP lands unless it's in the terms of the CRP contract. Are you saying PF and...

    spun hub?

    I could be wrong, but I think once you "spin" your hub, you'll pretty much be left stranded as your boat revs like she's in neutral. So tachometer it is.

    trailer damaged while fishing

    Yeah, I've had my trailer hit before as well. Cost me a new tail light. For the most part though, I've never seen or heard of too much bad stuff at the ramp parking lots. Yeah, you get the occasional missing hitch, and even heard of a trailer being stolen up on DL quite a few years ago. But...

    Water temps

    https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis/current/?type=quality&group_key=basin_cd or https://waterwatch.usgs.gov/wqwatch/map?state=nd&pcode=00010 Not a lot out there. The problem with temperature data for lakes is how you measure it. Surface temps change daily depending on sunlight, rain, etc...

    Boat speed and porpoising

    WHile you may have other issues, you won't ever regret putting a hydrofoil on that setup. My Lund is fairly similar and a hydrofoil makes it a much nicer ride.

    Non-resident fishing license

    Remember, ND fees are set by the state legislature. This is the same body of people who for years have watched their kids flee to other states for economic reasons. So when their kid(s) and grandkids come home, they don't want them to pay an arm and a leg to go fishing with gramps. At least...

    Sand or gravel in water pump

    Remember, the "pee hole" is generally a smaller inside diameter than the rest of the system. So a small rock can easily(?) make it's way through the system only to get stuck there. I've had that happen a time or two. In those cases, I simply had to remove the tubing from the upstream side of...

    Sunglasses!

    I've gotten polarized prescription (bifocal) shades through Walmart the past several years. No complaints, other than I tend to lose a pair right before I need them for a lengthy trip. With vision insurance, they are about $80, without I think they are nearer $250. I was up at New Johns...

    Lake sakakawea water levels

    Hey now, leave Hawaii out of this. They have enough problems with lava.

    Gasoline Price?????

    err, there's 42 gallons in a standard barrel of crude. Oil is down near $3 a barrel today due to OPEC.

    Lake sakakawea water levels

    http://www.nwd-mr.usace.army.mil/rcc/reports/twregfcast.pdf - - - Updated - - - On a side note, these high water years are the perfect time to go chase walleye up shallow on Sak. Look for flooded green vegetation and give them a slender presentation. I used to use willow blade spinners with...

    Lakewood entrance - mandan

    The hell you say, I have never heard of that or seen any obvious wreckage.

    Safe Space...

    I'm already the Tender Feelers focal point at work. I actually volunteered for it thinking my time in the Corps would be useful in helping my coworkers get over their need for a safe space.

    best NEW walleye fishing boat...

    I think you can get into a new Lund Crossover, or Impact pretty well equipped for that price tag. They would probably be my favorites in an aluminum. After that there's the Alumacraft Trophy and some stuff offered by Crestliner, but I'm a Lund guy, for better or worse.

    Lakewood entrance - mandan

    Oh yeah, I fished that area a couple weeks ago for the first time in a few years. Yep, those rocks on the east shoreline north of the Steckel boat ramp are still there. Some of those SOBs are about half the size of my Lund! I like to trim the motor up as far as I can while letting the prop...

    Lakewood entrance - mandan

    Bfishn, While I have no personal knowledge of that rockpile. It sure looks man-made to me. I'd have guessed it was installed to protect the land to the south of it from erosion. Google Earth Pro goes all the way back to 1991, there was a back channel there that allowed those homes to have...

    Sweet Jebus

    That'd be a lot of fun on about a 17 ft boat.

    transom tilt switch

    Hmm, sounds like you're going to need a multimeter. And I am by no means an electrical expert!

    transom tilt switch

    Is the switch mounted yet? It may be that it is "grounded" when mounted to the transom (assuming it's an aluminum boat).
