    Back up power

    Mine was already installed in the home by the previous owner when I got it. I have looked into it for my parents as they live rural and lose power often. Maybe that'll be an early Christmas 2027 gift.

    Spent the afternoon behind a snowblower

    I spent a full 6 hrs on the tractor and behind the snowblower to clear my 200 yds of driveway. I'm quickly running out of places to put the stuff. If I ever catch the SOB that is putting the geo-engineered storms this far north of the Cannonball...well, I'm gonna yell at him. note: I'm trying...

    Back up power

    Absolutely! They sell boxes at Menards, etc that allow a person to relatively simply hook up a generator to a house. The generator supplies power to that box and when you throw the switch on it the power from the main breaker is disconnected and a select set of circuits are powered by the...

    Christmas Blizzard

    Pure crap in the Mandan to Lincoln area. Took me well over an hour to drive home from hunting this evening. Normally it's about 35 minutes.

    Merry Christmas EVERYone!

    Good tidings to all, including Sportsman and all the others from FBO over the years.

    Christmas Blizzard

    Just hazarding a guess here, but I'd suggest the ice shifted and sort of "settled" into place. No extra water coming out of Garrison based on the 3-Week forecast, I suppose there could have been a spike in power demand that sent more water through the turbines, but I haven't heard anything.

    Rumor of ice jams?

    Not really, Sak is just fine in its normal range for this time of year. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=bis&gage=garn8 Besides, the Corps wouldn't want to restrict the flow coming out of Garrison too much, there are water intakes along the Missouri that need to keep...

    Rumor of ice jams?

    Think about it, how could you possibly have an ice jam on the farthest downstream part of a reservoir like Sakakawea that is over 150 ft deep? And no, there is no ice jam blocking the inlet to the dam's outlet either, they are a long ways below the water surface. Lycan, same kind of response...

    Christmas Blizzard

    Yeah, at this point I would almost be disappointed if we got missed. I am hoping to get out and do a little hunting Sat - Monday. I LOVE hunting in crappy weather. It just seems to enhance not only my success, but the overall story.

    Christmas Blizzard

    I need to make a stop at WilLiquors. Or however you spell it. I should probably also pick up a spare can of gas for the generator and another 5 gals of diesel for the tractor. Oh hell, who am I kidding. I need to just find out if I can get my girlfriend talked into getting snowed in with me...

    Advice on studding out a dog

    There are any number of ways to handle this, all are acceptable if you and the stud's owner agree to the terms. As mentioned, pick of the litter is common for breeders looking to bring new blood into their line, price of a pup is a more pure whoring of the dog. I knew someone who paid big...

    College players staying out of FBS Bowl Games

    I'm with eyexer, if they are healthy and decide to sit it out, they are forfeiting their scholarship by not being a part of the team. Who the hell goes to a FBS level school on a scholarship with some thought of they won't have to play in a bowl game?

    Missouri West rural water issue.

    Iron hardness. I'd call the Missouri West and complain. I'd be shocked if they don't have a softening plan in place, they wouldn't appear to be following it very well.
