    tapping boxelder trees

    I wonder what brewer's yeast would do to that fresh tapped maple sap. Maple wine? Is that such a thing?

    Adventure Catfishing

    So, would the idea be to anchor upstream and set a line like you would in a big boat, and then untether and float to fight the fish? Or would you stay anchored? What happens when a 30 pounder takes off top-side and overturns your client and he spills his Blue Num Num???

    Dog Names

    I really like Lindy for a dog name.

    Rat but what kind

    Screw buying a cat. Get a Jack Russel! I once watched a Jack run into a flooded dark house during the summer (it was parked on shore, we got a bunch of rain, lake rose, flooded old spearing shack) and come out with a rat he caught and killed. Sat down and ate it right on the lawn. Then went...

    COLD

    You're talking off-peak, though. Customers in town who don't have that option can't get rid of their electric fast enough. Of course, that's natural gas, not LP, and it's quite a bit cheaper. Not a fair comparison, I admit.

    COLD

    Dude...do yourself a favor and upgrade to LP. You could even have a backup electric plenum heater as a safeguard if the propane runs out or something. Other than venting, a HVAC company can rip out the old unit and get a new one installed in a day. And if you don't have an LP tank yet, a company...

    Fuel oil, propane or electric? For your sake, I hope not electric...

    Marathons

    Right now I'm just building mileage. Doing 3-4 mile treadmill runs (yuck) a few times a week if it's too cold, then running 5-ish on the weekend. Keeping it steady until the end of Feb. Then the 12-week program kicks in and I'll be adding speed runs, tempo runs and increasing my long runs by a...

    NFL News (Vikings)

    I can't get it out of my head that there was some tomfoolery going on. I mean, that was easily the worst game they've played all year --and maybe years! Everything from the call playing to the players themselves was totally and completely out of whack. A bit of that you can understand. Nerves...

    And forever more, the "Minneapolis Miracle" will be remembered as that one game that we pulled out to make it to the next round only to lose and not get to the Super Bowl. Again.

    4 wheel drive / mechanic advice

    ^^^^This I got stuck in November when a bunch of snow came over night and I made the dumb decision to back into an approach that had a pretty steep grade. Two tires, one in the front and the other in the back, would spin. I finally cleared the snow enough with a swamp seat I had lying in the...

    Fixing your own

    I try to do as much as possible on our vehicles. So far I've changed the oil and filter and all four brakes and the front rotors. Nothing that difficult, but saved a crap-load of money versus taking it in to a shop.

    Ice Fishing Dream Trip?

    I fish Upper Red Lake every year in January, and it's a trip I dream about. I have yet to not catch a ton of walleyes on that lake. But my honest-to-goodness dream trip beyond that would be to actually have a lights-out mutlispecies smorgasbord at Devils Lake.

    Imagine getting this on your phone

    I don't care what president is in office -- you get an alert that your impending doom is imminent, and that's gotta ring a bell or two. But the last finger I point is at the Commander in Chief. I know his button is bigger than the other guy's, but I didn't realize he had access to our mobile...

    Marathons

    ^^^^ This! I PR'd the Grandma's half in 2012 in 1:33:12. It was the best shape I've been in my entire life. Then kids came along and I totally fell off the wagon. Now I'm signed up again for the Fargo Half. It's WAY harder now than it was five years, two kids and about 15 pounds ago. But it...

    Marathons

    I've ran a few half. Never a full. I never got to the end of a half marathon and thought to myself "boy, I'd love to turn around and run that all over again." To me, 13.1 is plenty. Get yourself a good 12-week plan. Get your mileage up. Don't worry about speed, just worry about getting in all...

    Underwater Camera decision

    Well, I used Christmas money and GC and visited Scheels yesterday. Bought my wife a birthday present, and got something for myself: Aqua-Vu 715c! Not the HD, which when I saw them both side-by-side I couldn't tell much of a difference (other than about $300 on the price tag). So I went the...

    lure wraps for ice rods

    I've seen something similar at Scheels, but always questioned the robustness of that plastic in Arctic weather.

    Fargo Area Fishing

    Ashtabula is a smorgasbord within an hour of Fargo. Good lake to explore and drown minnows (and Busch Lights). Can be decent fishing if you put your time in.
