    Just out of curiosity, what's the content of the tank used for?

    While I will not condone the peanut throwing, you can't possibly be equating peanuts with full bottles or cans of beer, can you?

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

    That histogram merely suggests to me that the current price for a barrel of oil is unstable and that oil should either be headed up, or down. You get to choose which way you think it's going. Overall though, it suggests oil has spent more time above the current price than it has below it...

    Military Question

    Most federal agencies have contracts with local Sheriff's departments to provide patrolling during the year. Personally, I don't think I'd ever recommend anyone to TRESPASS on federal property. I'd check the USFWS' website for rules and regs before I went.

    Military Question

    I am pretty sure the answer to that is no. But I also don't work for USFWS. National Parks, Historical Sites, and govt offices are to be closed and I am reasonably sure that the last time around this included Lake Darling. Perhaps someone can refresh our memory if Darling was closed. - - -...

    Better or Worse?

    Worm, I'd say your friend is wrong. The bureaucrats with ability to sway policy are political appointees. They go with the politicians. Those that stay are career federal employees and their ability to affect policy is very minimal, rather they are expected to live with whatever policies...

    Military Question

    "Exempt" federal employees have to show up for work or risk being placed on AWOL (absent without leave) status. Arguably, they get even the shortest end of the stick. Not only are they required to show up for work, if they get sick they are then stuck in limbo (either AWOL, or furloughed) as...

    ANS CLEANING STATIONS in ND or not.

    I would have not problems with an ANS station about 5 miles west of West Fargo and Grand Forks as a start. These things are all coming from the east. I tend to keep my rigs free of weeds, etc and put even more emphasis on cleaning the boat and livewell if I am going to a different body of...

    Susspect flee's from police, Bismarck

    Pew research at http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/27/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/ stated that: "Unauthorized immigrants represented 3.4% of the total U.S. population in 2015. The number of unauthorized immigrants peaked in 2007 at 12.2 million, when this group was 4%...

    Fixing your own

    I was 12 or 13 years old the first time I tore apart a transmission, that was on a JD 70 tractor. Have rebuilt several engines, from a Dodge slant six, to Ford 360/390 and 300, and the ubiquitous Chevy 327/350. Never really liked doing auto tranny stuff, or rear end work. Bottom line is that...

    Holy SHIT!!

    Wasn't it just last year at Hazelton there was a boat that got run over? I was there the day it happened but was fishing upstream a few miles. Guy had one of them high rising bows and couldn't see jack. I say if you have a boat that does that, you definitely need a hydrofoil.

    Considering New Trolling Motor

    Heh heh, I too sit in front...and let the kids/girlfriend suffer with each other in the crowded main cabin. And yep, like retiredsmartguy, I still use the remote when in the bow. Partly because in my Fisherman, if I fall out of the damn thing I can hit spot lock and not have to chase the damn...

    Considering New Trolling Motor

    Is 55 lb the biggest 12V out there now? I once had a 62, and a 65 lb series of 12V Minnkotas and they were decent on a 16 ft Smokercraft. Of course, if you were giving her the onion the whole time you were on the water you had only about 6-8 hrs of use before the battery would die. One thing...

    Oahe ice

    I'm too chicken to play with the ice in that stretch. Lots of irregularities and changing current along that shoreline that could make your ice disappear over just a few feet of travel. It'd definitely be a walk with a spud bar, but near as I can tell that's quite a distance to walk from what...

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

    OPEC, schmoPec. Even those dumb bastidges have to know that it's better for them to sell 50 barrels of crude at $75 a barrel than it is to sell 75 barrels of crude at $50. Remember during the run-up to the last boom when OPEC leaders were worried far more about the price of crude than they...

    NFL News (Vikings)

    I tend to not take professional sports very seriously, so I went hunting this afternoon. To no avail. :mad: And recorded the game. Only to accidentally hear on the radio that the Vikes were up 17-0 at one point, before I killed the radio. So I get home and hit play on the DVR, enjoying the...

    Ford is debuting a diesel engine for the F-150 pickup truck for the first time.

    eyexer, you've kind of suggested that already. Can you give us some more specifics, like at what mileage a person should expect: 1. Major exhaust work due to particulate filter being plugged. 2. Oil cooler plugging up. 3. Injectors needing to be replaced. 4. ________ costing an arm and a leg...

    Ford is debuting a diesel engine for the F-150 pickup truck for the first time.

    I've been inside the local Ford dealership's diesel shop for a couple of little quirks the past few months, and almost not at all during the 8 years I've had my 09 F250. For the number of Ford diesels running around, it's not a very big shop. Like all diesel owners, I really dread the day it...

    Ford is debuting a diesel engine for the F-150 pickup truck for the first time.

    It's not so much paying for the diesel features as it is enjoying its advantages and getting a higher resale out of it when you move on. This is not an easy calculation to make.

    Smoker

    The water pan is to prevent stuff from drying out. When making jerky, I don't use a lot of water. When smoking a turkey or tenderloin or ????, I tend to make sure the water pan has water in it. A few times I've slacked off on it left the meat with a drier than preferred crust. Same with...
