    What have I missed?

    OK, so I've been out of touch with NDA for a week whilst on vacation and knowing the kind of clowns (in a lovable sense) around here...what are the highlights for the past week? I have kids for the next several days so I have no time to catch up on my own. and if ye are curious, I was chilling...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Hah, I think I said just about the same thing several months ago when people were wondering why the State was so adamantly in support of the pipeline. It's good for business, taxes, and ND residents in general.

    Slots and Closing spring seasons

    Yes. An abundant runoff helps to generate the water quality (less saline) areas of DL that will see successful walleye hatching and rearing of those young'uns in suitable shelter.

    Making the Switch to Copper Bullets

    At this point I have still shot a LOT more critters with lead than I have with copper. The copper bullets do indeed hold together vastly better than any lead bullet I have ever used. In particular, some of the more accurate lead rounds for my 25-06 and 7 mm were the Winchester BST's and some...

    State-owned Casinos anyone

    Actually, when you think about it from a numbers perspective, this would arm the State with 5 casinos to compete with the tribal casinos, and one to put in yet another location. In that sense, Medora would have to be pretty damn high on the list. Personally, I like to throw a little coin at...

    boat motor height?

    A prop with more cupping is the answer to help prevent ventilation (blow out) when turning. It will though likely cost you a little in top-end speed. My Lund Fisherman came originally with an aluminum 19P Yamaha semi-cleaver prop, it got the best top end speed, but was a dog out of the hole...

    State of North Dakota Buying Hotel Rooms and Bus Tickets Home for #NoDAPL Protesters

    I would imagine they are tallying the truckloads via tipping fees at the landfills.

    Cost per SQ FT for building a house

    Seriously, why is ND so damn expensive on new construction? I have coworkers who have recently (past couple years) moved elsewhere and I am in serious home envy at what they got compared to the cost of housing in the Bismarck area.

    Video: Truck falls through ice in Wisconsin

    That was not very thick ice! Hate to state the obvious, but wow was that thin.

    Pull the permanent?

    Western Sak is a definite pull at this point, the Yellowstone is rising and water is a coming in. I would also pull on every other little body of water in the southern 7/8 of ND as well. But that's just me, I hate falling through the ice.

    Well this is going to get interesting

    The "DAPL" cough, I wonder just how many cartons of Marlboro reds and Camels got donated?

    22 nosler

    I just don't see enough of an advantage here for me to upgrade over my 22 LR. Seems to be all I've ever needed in that 0.22X diameter. Aw, c'mon guys...lighten up a little. I remember the day when people were still saying the 25-06 Rem was never going to last because it was too expensive...

    Berry varieties for the garden

    Honey berries for sure, blueberries are a pain in the arse around here. Juneberries are great, but the birds raise hell with them at my place. Gooseberries are a novelty that wears off quickly. I've been thinking about trying mulberry, but have no idea how they will do around here (Bismarck...

    Trolling Motor Opinions

    I am guessing a 6ft shaft on a 16 ft boat is not necessary, especially since I once had a 16 ft Smokercraft and wouldn't want to be out in waves that require a 6 ft shaft. The spotlock is good if the wind isn't howling. The older models struggled with it in high winds, mine did anyway...

    Oroville Dam - California

    I seriously doubt they will pave the emergency spillway in this case, but they may shape it. It does not look like there's much of a shape to what was there already. Wide and flat is preferred. They are left grassy intentionally with the understanding that it will erode when in use and...

    Oroville Dam - California

    savage270 is on point here with his observation. They knew about this problem a while back according to some news stories I read. So for the cost of $XX,XXX in repairs that were put off, there will now be a hell of a repair bill. Perhaps in the hundreds of millions of dollars. And rest...

    Oroville Dam - California

    A little bit of water and the human proclivity to believe we can control it will forever fascinate me.

    Happiness.

    Yep, bring on the boats and beer! Mine is getting a makeover this weekend for the coming spring. I'm hoping to be on the river in a few weeks.

    New troller

    Looks like I'll have a 10 yr old 24V, 70lb Powerdrive that was upgraded to IPilot 3 years ago. Not used to dealing in used boat stuff, so I have no idea what something like that is worth. Anyone got some suggestions on starting price? The IPilot and everything works, I just wanted to get an...
