    New boat

    I went to the sportshow this afternoon, I could be happy in any of about 10 boats I looked at. Granted, I am already thinking of upgrading the fishing Toon ahead of the boat. Not in a big hurry, but after last summer, I noticed just how darn much I was on the Toon compared to the Fisherman...

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Not a boat mechanic, but since it was in the upper 80s to lower 90s that day, I am familiar enough with the properties of water to be sure it didn't freeze. If I were to guess though, I'd say it was probably a connecting rod that came loose.

    Florida School Shooting

    I've seen that stated before on other sites. The truth is, more than a couple of them were accidental firearm discharges involving LEOs, some were weapons brought to school and not used, some were targeted vendettas, and a small handful were actual people with ill intent on a larger scale.

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    That is almost identical to what happened to my 2013 Merc 150 Fourstroke. Except it was on the other side of the block.

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Rey, You know, I said the 200 Verado vs the 200 Optimax in the weight comparison, right? One was 505 lbs, the other 510 lbs. - - - Updated - - - And that came directly from Mercs homepage. I guess they could have been wrong though...

    Florida School Shooting

    You don't "allow" things by law as a general rule, laws tend to be more restrictive in nature than guidance on what a person should do in normal course of their daily affairs. In that sense, the 1st amendment suggests to me that it is in no way illegal, or unconstitutional for a school to have...

    All New Mercury 4-Strokes - Just released

    Times are a changing, I see the 200 HP Verado and Optimax are within 5 lbs of each other now. No way would I go back to a 2-S for five pounds of weight. As far as weight to giddy-up ratio, that's a changing too. There will be 4-S with every bit the snap of a 2-S in the not so distant future...

    Old Timers Memory

    Wrong ones. We're just too stupid to tell the difference.

    There's a difference between wandering and migrating.

    Federal removal of state gun laws?

    No problem. BTW, I renewed mine right after tbe state went to constitutional carry. What I am not sure of is the purpose behind doing so, other than the already in place reciprocity agreements. - - - Updated - - - Not as much as I probably should, I just don't like congress reeling in all...

    Babe of the 2018 Winter Olympics

    It may not be popular, but the comparisons to Skankelina Jolie keep her from being the hottest gal at the Olympics, by far! There are a lot of hot blondes on the other teams to occupy my time watching. - - - Updated - - - https://sports.gunaxin.com/hottest-female-olympians-pyeongchang/210636...

    Federal removal of state gun laws?

    I am guessing it's the pre-cursor, or impetus to the feds setting the standards for concealed carry. ND is one of the easier places to get a concealed carry (recently made moot), if the feds oversee it...we and our gun friendly/similar states don't have the political pull in DC to prevent the...

    Federal removal of state gun laws?

    I've been loosely following this topic for a little while now. I didn't think there was much chance of it passing before, but it is starting to look like it has legs. For those who haven't been paying attention, this is Congress' attempt to make all states recognize each other state's concealed...

    I'll be there. You'll know it's me when you run across the most over-chicked dude in the place.

    Hog Oahe Walleye

    Pretty sure "we've" been saying that for at least the past 10 years. Like you, I have to believe there's at least a couple of eyes in the state that would break the record if caught with a belly full of eggs. Probably a few in Sak alone, another couple in Oahe and Devils, and maybe even a...

    Gator UTV's? meh? or awesome?

    While I have not personally driven one, I think they are intended for the working crowd with the high durability, low sex appeal philosophy.

    Brain worm in ND Moose

    About 20 years ago, I saw a WT buck with the same symptoms near New Town. I called the warden but never did hear back on if he found him and put him down. On a different note, the brain worm may be why we don't see nearly as many moose in the east and north as 20 years ago, but I don't think...

    PROPERTY TAX - Must Read

    espringers, I've always wondered what they include in those kinds of assessments as they are rarely straight-forward with their methodology. I read one quite a few years ago that included not only the interstate highways, which were built for national security and transport of goods, but also...

    PROPERTY TAX - Must Read

    One could argue that you aren't very "successful" if you've lived in the moment and not saved enough to maintain your lifestyle into retirement. I fully plan on my costs of living to remain very similar to what they are now after I retire. To include taxes and inflation.

    PROPERTY TAX - Must Read

    Not to derail the discussion, but I thought this was an interesting article: ND has the lowest maximum rate of State income tax. http://www.businessinsider.com/state-income-tax-rate-rankings-by-state-2018-2/#california-1
