    Hey Alan I have a question for you

    The official NWS forecast location is at Breien. Historical evidence suggests that the flood plain near the mouth is largely wet when the Breien gage reads about 15 ft. Backwater from Lake Oahe can also inundate the area if it gets high enough, but that is not very likely at this point...

    Online employment apps

    Once you leave the military and start looking for jobs, you may find yourself gravitating towards civilian jobs with the gov't. If you think these stories of private hiring practices are onerous, wait until you hit the circus that is the fed govt. I tell people that if they haven't spent a...

    Culture of Mediocrity

    I know you're from Antler and all, but your kids seriously wear cleats to play basketball? LOL, just messing with ya. I think we're on the same page here outside of footwear.

    Minnkota Ulterra

    OK, so I have found a way to finagle the cost of a new Ulterra out of Cabelas (they have them on sale right now). So what I am curious about is what's the difference between Ipilot and Ipilot + Link? Isn't Link just the way to network everything into a high end depthfinder? I don't have a...

    Well this is going to get interesting

    Culture of Mediocrity

    I understand what the coach/author is getting at, those who put in above average amounts of time training and practicing end up being more successful at that sport. Makes sense. However, we are talking youth athletics here. I am not trying to raise a football, basketball, soccer, or chess...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    I agree with Guy, many if not most degrees are like that. I picked up a geology degree and a ton of geologists think they will be spending their life out cracking open rocks while hiking around some of nature's coolest spots. Then in pretty short order the realization sets in that those jobs...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    I probably should have added that I taught and did research at UND for a few years. I really LOVED the teaching part, I just found dealing with the uncertainty of being on soft money for the research side to be more stressful than it should have been for the amount of money UND was willing to...

    Midlife crisis? Epiphany? Or am I insane?

    While I must admit to being a little jealous at times of my coworkers who spent their entire career doing one thing and in doing so they find themselves able to retire at a relatively early age, I gotta admit I have really enjoyed variety. So I have to work a few extra years, big deal. So I...

    neutering a dog

    Mehh, unless there's now child support for puppies, this is not likely a concern of the person who owns the male dog. Unless they own an unfixed female as well, then they're just dumb if they are going to run that risk.

    Ford Expedition vs F150???

    We have an Expedition in the EL (extra long) configuration here at work that I drive on occasion. They are fine vehicles but I'd take a 4 door pickup over them any day of the week, and twice on the weekends. I like the longer wheelbase! I have two kids and my girlfriend has another two. When...

    DH Custom Hats

    Despite some peoples' false observations, I also have a large brain with a thick, non-hair based, protective system.

    Easy limit

    It is low dissolved oxygen. I've seen it on places like Epping/Springbrook, Larimore dam, and in my backyard. Remember, ice tends to come off the creeks first in the spring melt season as warm water hits them before it does the lakes. So it's highly unlikely this is something related to a...

    Kicker hookup and qs

    When using the factory auxilary connection on the bulkhead, you shouldn't have to unhook the kicker. Aren't there separate uptakes in the gas tank for the two lines? Otherwise, I can see where a person may wish to unhook or put valves in the fuel line if you are using a single line coming out...

    Ford coming out with new Diesel in F150

    I've owned and/or driven a lot of different pickups over the years. I still love my diesel, but like with everything else it comes with its own drawbacks. The cost of oil changes and fuel additives is not trivial, nor is it in the significant figures of total vehicle ownership costs. I have...

    If the winter doesnt kill the deer the coyotes will

    I damn near took out a herd of about 18 antelope earlier this evening. Had to lock'er up coming down highway 83 as they crossed the road. I missed them by about 3 feet and since they were bumper to bumper with each other, it would have been a massacre. To them AND my 4Runner. That'll wake...

    Hunting land for sale $376 dollars per acre

    Fixed it for ya. - - - Updated - - - Bottom line, there isn't a lot of dry ground here and the USFWS easements make this a cheap quarter of property to own. I've seen similar in other places that are priced similarly, but often the easements are not properly taken into account in the asking...

    Dick's Sporting Goods

    I've been in there three times. That should pretty much take care of my needs to ever stroll through the place. Twice I walked out without buying anything, the other time I was specifically looking for an air pump to fill tube to pull the kids on. If I hadn't already been in that part of town...
