    The future

    The oculus is pretty amazing. Spent more time talking with a friend over golf or bowling on that thing than we ever would have without it. It's mind blowing the first time you strap on the headset. Definitely worth the $300, and can be enjoyed by almost all ages. Even some fishing games if you...

    flashers~

    Digital depth, auto range and bottom zoom are all nice to have. Even with auto zoom I still have to toggle the range when changing holes for some reason.

    Underwater Camera

    Briefly owned a high end marcum before returning it. The lights on it were nothing but a gimmick. Maximum visibility of 4-5 ft in clear water, less than 10ft depth, good sunlight, and little or no snow cover. Visibility drops considerably as any of those variables deteriorate. Couldn't see much...

    Valley City area ice conditions

    About to get a lot tougher in that area if Friday forecast proves correct.

    Home Printer

    If you don't need color, get a Brother laser printer. Cheap and easy to refill. Ink is bad for infrequent use as it dries on the print head if not exercised weekly.

    J-Wheelz?

    Tracks work by 1) distributing the load over a much larger area to reduce applied pressure, and 2) significantly increasing traction through deep ribs on the tracks. Those j wheels do neither of those things and you would surely be disappointed if you expect to travel over feet of snow like a...

    18" Catch Cover hole sleeve

    You could modify a 9" to get by until the 18" are available again. Cut up another 9" to make an extension or find a piece of pipe the right diameter to fit the bottom of the 9". JB Weld plastic bonder has worked really well for me including extreme cold and it's available at all the big boxes...

    Cold weather and Honda EU2000i generator

    Thanks Musky. That is the crankcase breather tube discussed above. I got a vacuum cap for the intake side so I can do that if needed. You get a lot of grime coming out of the disconnected breather tube?

    Cold weather and Honda EU2000i generator

    Bought a new eu2200i last year. Have had no issues above 0 degrees but always problems below 0. Last year it shut off at -4 after running all night and would not stay running when restarted. Ran fine again once thawed. Installed the breather heater kit after complaining to Honda corporate for...

    Ice conditions

    Hole is marked but just in case avoid the shoreline immediately north of the nelson bay access. I know stuff happens but idiots sinking pickups into a national wildlife refuge could negatively impact access for the rest of us. There was 8" on the ruler when I left Monday morning. No excuse for...

    Garbage People

    I expect better from outdoors people than town rats. I don't know how you go to the effort to enjoy the beautiful ND outdoors and think "this place needs more cigarette butts!". Minnows are organic and won't hurt anything. Butts and cans are completely different. Leaving an edible size fish...

    Ice Predictions?

    Scouted around central ND today. 4" or less on the ruler where I checked, and still areas of open water on large and small lakes. Be wary of areas without little patches of snow as they were likely open water this weekend.
