    Douche of the Year contest.

    Don't worry, Mort. I have to think the charges will be upgraded. I started this thread with the hope that we would occasionally run across an article that makes us feel good about our own lives. Not sure I imagined it would be so easy to find so many examples of people being such...winners. :(

    Douche of the Year contest.

    "Authorities say no one was hurt when Miner was apprehended Tuesday....." Most unfortunate.

    It sucks to have local contestants.

    Extended Vehicle Warranty

    My goal is to always make sure I pay off the vehicle before the warranty runs out. Having an occasional repair bill with no finance payment isn't so bad, having to fund repairs while still paying for the vehicle's purchase = terrible. As someone up above already noted, these companies don't...

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    Darn good question, this is when I become easily convinced there's widespread insider trading. Lots (almost all) oil stocks have hit the crapper over the past few days and not a bit of publicly available cause and effect. I think the one bearish indicator I've seen is that while crude...

    Winchester Stock

    I've known a few people that have put thumbhole stocks on a hunting rifle. None of them lasted two seasons before they went back to a more standard stock. They loved them for sighting in, not so much for carry and shooting in the field. If you end up just wanting it to look like new again...

    Interesting fish situation

    Dean, and what pray tell, is the half assed fish bypass proposed for Sakakawea? I haven't heard of that one.

    .25-06 Ammo for deer

    The 25-06 is a great rifle round. I have shot Federal PowerPoint (?), Winchester PowerPoint, Core-Lokt, Winchester Ballistic Silvertip, Noslear Accubonds, etc out of mine. The Core-Lokt and Power Points are kind of OK, but nothing special. The Ballistic Silvertips and Accubonds were both very...

    Pickup tires

    I tend to like my Hankooks, I'm on my third set of the 10 ply version for my F250. I get about 45k out of a set and notice no "squishy" feeling when she's loaded. Several years ago I had a set of the Revo 2's on a half-ton, so they were the P-rated version. Loved the ride, but they wore out...

    How much do you like honey ??

    I like honey just fine, but that rope ladder is a nope.

    Favorite fishing rod/reel

    Favorite is whatever's in my hand at the moment. And literally, at least a few times in life, that's been a stick with some string tied to the end of it. I must just have too many kids around to graduate to really expensive combo's. I have some Scheels rods matched up to Pflueger reels that...

    Airlines really do suck

    While I too have my complaints, I tend to bite my tongue lest I be the next in the news. That, and I really prefer the crew to have no concerns at all with the airplane before I get on it.

    WTF is wrong with kids these days

    I'm with Lungdeflator, there are just some things where an "I'm sorry" won't cut the mustard. I work really hard to let my kids know that making mistakes is a part of life, but being a bad person is not a mistake.

    2019 silverado sneak~

    Shiite, easy as hell to tell the difference between a Ford and a GM product running down the road. The Ford is the one with the lights that work. Am I the only one to notice that if I see a light out on a vehicle that it's damn near always a GM product? If you haven't noticed before, it's the...

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    Yep, rates of hedging tends to be near nil for companies that are using free cash flow to finance wells, and almost 100% for those that have to finance pretty much everything. Companies like Whiting and Oasis are around 40-60% hedged from what I've read. I would think with the backwardation in...

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    Yes, we know they partner on wells, although that is not quite the terminology used. There are generally operator, and non-operator interests in a given well. The operator is usually the one with the larger share of the spacing unit. That is the entity that gets to make all the decisions, the...

    arrow question

    Fletching on arrows wear out, they get lost when hunting, styles change, etc, etc. I say find an arrow you like and buy a dozen of them. Yeah, it's not cheap in the short term, but that way you will have enough of the exact same arrow for many years to go hunting and target shooting.

    WTI crude oil to hit $70 in 2018?? above?

    Since most oil companies operating in ND have a line of credit with the banks in order to drill a well, I don't think I'd call it a farce. The banks have made the companies sharpen their pencils a bit over the past couple of years. Hence the increased hedging of oil prices with companies like...

    WTF is wrong with kids these days

    I think one of the biggest reasons we see stuff like this is simply because "we", as a society, tolerate it. Every damn one of these little homo's will be able to go seek the shelter and love of their family. Contrast this with Japanese society where it is always well known that if you pull...
