    LOL, yep. I really try hard not to though.

    I don't know if I would necessarily call it "better", it does have differences though. I think the better way to characterize it though is that at any given point in time, the mets looking at the models tend to prefer one over the other because, well...that's their professional take on things...

    Yep, they charge for it and have restrictions on direct sharing of output/images from it.

    Protecting Schools

    The problem with having an armed security guard is that each and every nut job out there who wants to attack a school will already know who and where the guard is located at specific times of the day. Then they just have to target that person first. You would need multiple guards in order to...

    Remember, that information isn't actually being generated by Pivotal Weather, they are just pilfering (legally, I might add) the various models out there from government sources and putting it on their webpage. One of the better and more locked down models that they don't have is the European...

    Snobears and active perch

    Gunny sacks are awesome, not so much when filled with fish that need a cleaning. :( I know what you mean about the perch, I didn't fish them often as a kid back in the 70s, but when we did they were the easiest damn things to catch on the planet. Only a northern on patrol under the dock would...

    Depends on what you want the moisture to do. If you need soil moisture, gentle April rains are the best. If you need runoff to fill reservoirs/ponds/dugouts, I'll take the snow. The soils have been dry as heck since last fall, but the cold temps have pushed down to 60 inches in some places...

    Bitcoin

    And there's the rub, high risk...high reward. I am not sure how many dollars I'd like to turn into nickels.

    New boat

    Not that they ever shared with me. It wasn't bad fuel, run out of specs, over-revved, or run with a code thrown, that much I can tell you because Merc made sure to do its legwork.

    New boat

    Seriously, there's something to be said about that. On the flip side though, I paid a little over $30k last year for a 4 yr old Toon with less than 330 hours on it. The motor catastrophically shit the bed at about 360 hrs. I got lucky as I didn't think there was a warranty left on the motor...

    New cordless drill

    Yeah, I wasn't in the market for sparkly stuff. Just wanted to use it as a checkout counter for other things. And nope, it was too busy!

    New cordless drill

    They were doing that from just about day one. I would imagine the good stuff gets picked through a bit more each day. I know the jewelry area was busy as hell a week ago. I guess 70% off does that to jewelry. Highest I've seen on tools though is a 20% discount.

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Yeah, with that few of hours, it probably can still command that amount of coin. Which is probably just a little more than I am willing to put into the Lund for the "fun" factor right now. That annoying little dead spot that kills the engine when switching gears can also be controlled...

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Ahh, that makes sense. How many hours on the 150, and what would you need for it? I'd love my Fisherman and probably put off shopping for a new fishing boat if it had a 150 on it. I feel the same way about the 115 on it, just feels like it's lacking a little oomph that would make it a whole...

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Wild and Free, What kind of pontoon do you have with a 250 on it? And why the repower, just a lot of hours on it?

    New cordless drill

    If you are in Bismarck, run up to Sears. Last time I was in there they had a drill/driver combo (two tools) along with a pair of batteries and charger for about $20 more than what I had just paid for two of their 20V batteries at Lowes about five days earlier. Not that I needed new drills...

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Yeah, I don't know. But I do know it had been running fine right up until it crapped itself. Probably had 3 hrs on it that day right ahead of the big bang.

    Hot Air Fryers

    My girlfriend has one of those glass domed versions. It works great for bacon, what more do you need? Also does well for chicken if you're on a diet.
