    Lasik

    I had mine done in Bismarck around 2005 by a now retired doctor. Fair results is the best way to put it, better than 20/20 in my left eye, near 20/20 in my right. However, I am also now 49 and readers have become increasingly needed over the past couple years even though my distance vision...

    pull start a 90...

    Had a mid-80s 70 or 75 HP Mariner that pull started a HELL of a lot easier than my old 25 hp, mid 70s Johnson. The latter could wear you out in a hurry!

    Legal or not?

    You do know they operate under a different set of rules, right? Not that I condone the double standard, just noting its presence.

    How Cold Is Too Cold?

    Good weekend to stay home and process some venison sausage.

    Legal or not?

    Hanging things from your mirror in ND is also illegal. I've had law enforcement give me a hard time about a small trinket I brought home from Japan. It was a travel souvenir that is supposed to bring good luck while driving. Must work, I haven't had an accident with the pickup since I came...

    Malheur Refuge Takeover Is a Wake-Up Call for American Sportsmen

    fritz, Ol Debbie there sounds like a card carrying member of the Buffalo Commons. And you are right, they are still out there and every now and then they find a bit of dumb and write a letter to the editor. Funny stuff.

    New NDA Logo

    It's not. I spent a fair amount of time trying to debunk this while in the Corps. Guess I was snopes before snopes became snopes.

    2016 NR any deer bow licenses

    Can't blame the NDGF on this. It's strictly a legislature kind of deal. The guides and outfitters along with the pay-for-hunt crowd were cringing at the prospect of fewer NR hunters with deeper pockets than their fellow North Dakotans.

    Gas Gauge

    My Lund is the same way, I rarely put more than 12 or so gallons into the 25 gallon tank. That still is a lot of gas for me to go through in a given day where and how I fish. Maybe have to replace the whole sending unit? I just don't know.

    Contest: Things went wrong, hunting/fishing stories

    Back in 2000, I lived in Grand Forks and my fiancé (now ex) had just started hunting. So I thought I'd make it easy for her and get us deer tags in 3B1 where my family's land lies and we wouldn't have to deal with other hunters. Wouldn't you know it, my stepfather waited until deer opener to...

    Interesting phone call

    Usually something along the line of "sir, I don't theenk you haf been entering what I tail you kerrectly". I usually lose them right around the second beer. Speaking of which, I just about spit on my own screen as I recalled one of the funnier ones. And yes, this has happened to me a few...

    Interesting phone call

    I love the "your computer is in danger, please type this in the command line" and then when they ask for what pops up on my screen I tell them something along the line of "my computer says U R an acehole". They usually think I mistyped in the command they have just given me and we go through a...

    Swearing

    As others have mentioned, I am guilty of letting myself get carried away but overall I tend to try and control my verbiage. I find it funny that I can go all day around kids and not let an F-bomb fly, but put me in with adults and that's not likely the case. Like with most things, everything...

    Vikings (10 wins)

    Seattle is playing very well right now, however...it's about time for them to throw up a shitty performance and let's not forget, they aren't the only ones who handed the Vikes their ass at home this year. Next week is not a given for the Sea Chickens!

    Another run on ammo?

    Like they weren't willing to fall on their swords for the Great One when it came to his healthcare crap.

    Braid to mono knot

    Yeah, I just tie directly onto my cranks as well. Once in a while I get the WTF happened here moment when the kids hand me a reel all fubar'd. That's when I whip out the leatherman and just start unspooling line until I get to where we are again using non-kiddefied fishing line. Yes, I know...

    Need pet help asap

    Sucky deal, but I wouldn't even gift a dog to someone else that has previously been aggressive to a kid. You never know when they will have a kid over to visit, or runs across one in a park, etc. IMHO, the dog needs to be put down regardless of all its other good traits. I have zero tolerance...
