If you buy up a bunch of residential lots and then start to tear down the residences, the value of those properties drop, increasing the tax burden on the remaining properties. Her overpayment on those properties causes the surrounding home values to rise, raising the property taxes on the other homes in the community.

People have a right to know.

Do you have the right to know how much I paid for my place, or the lot next to me? I think NOT. Most people are on a need to know basis and most don’t need to know. Do you think the value of my neighbors place went up cause I own 2 lots… nope not per the tax bases that were just delivered.

Most people are mad cause they just hate rich people cause in the shoes they’re in right now. Now if one would be happy with the life they live and worry about things they CAN control and less about what other people are doing we would be in a better place in this state.

Have you called these guys yet? https://www.safebasements.com/

Had them give me some options for my concrete block for my garage. It was a little outside their scope since we had to lift the garage up but what they told me for options was priceless.

I like how little San Fran has treated the whole situation. Just like the whole state is swayed by what happens in the metro. What happened in St. Louis county is swayed by what Duluth wants.

2 things noted, I think the city being so public about it didn’t help, and her telling the city what she wanted to do would hurt her buying what she wanted to buy. Just like any person owning a house. We should be able to sell it to whom ever and for what ever the agreed upon price. I guess laws are there for people in St. Louis county to build a certain size house with the lot size they have. I am assuming Duluth is close to the same thing.

Just like the county changing the septic system laws which would make everyone septic non compliant and would have to be replaced if they needed a permit for anything or sell. Word on the street is what came from some officials in Duluth as they have grandfathered in some systems and want them out.

We all have a different opinion and some times little San Fran goes off their rocker for no reason.

I have a bigger office chair in mine. No way you could put 2 of them in there and still turn around.

I have a kid with me sometimes and it perfect for that. Just need to make sure the chairs you want will fit.

Any LM fleet supply by me has plenty in stock to look at them.

I have a stump 3. Huge for one person with a heater. I can put my feet up on another chair and relax. I have mine about 7 ft high and it’s fine. We brush up the legs and spray black lines on the stump itself.

If you’re only hunting by yourself then a stump 2 is fine. I would get the platform that extends off stump to stand on.

Redneck blinds are great but spendy.

It’s bad up here. Dog had 10 on last night. One bad deer tick bit on a buddy and pulled 5 off me.

$1100 will be going down to the cities Friday for a week.

Updated the post, sorry

If you wanna stay at the vermilion hotel in cook, your boat should be good there.

If you’re still nervous about that, You can drop your boat off at my place north of cook, if you want.

Doing a deck rebuild now due to snow collapsing the deck.

We went with trex and the transcend line. I liked it better than the aztec stuff. I couldn’t scratch the sample with my key if that helps.

West end vermilion, maybe just off the dock/shore. It’s going to be a close ice out. I have 18in in front of me still.

Never had an issue with ordering nor getting it repaired when calling.

I would get another and would wait as long as it takes to get one well over a trollmaster.

I know of a 2018 ford with an ecoboost, a 2021 denali with a 6.2, and a 2020 ram with a 5.7 that all are used for towing 18-22 foot walleye boats, and they all have had major issues. Meanwhile my 2011 toyota had 235K miles on the clock, and I am due for an oil change. I suppose I should rotate the tires too, and while the the wheels are off inspect the brakes. other than that, I will just keep driving it. To the original poster, if you plan to keep it past its warranty, and don’t want to miss a weekend of fishing, because the tow rig is in the shop waiting on parts, but a Ram or a Toyota, however I am not sure they make a big SUV in the dodge line. A Toyota Sequoia would be a fine choice.

Too bad the new tundra’s are V6 engines.

I just had a 2019 6.2 with 38k blow an oil cooler which entails getting a new engine. GM issued a recall in Canada and Alaska but never in the lower 48 for this issue. Installing the afm/dam delete as soon as I get the truck back.

the newer 6.2’s have a lifter issue from a bad batch from the factory. No issues with the 5.3’s from an AT4 forum I follow. I would just get the module to delete the afm/drm crap.

Just add him into the bucket with Alex.

Price isn’t too bad. I just picked up a 19 LTZ, with 32k for 42.

Carver, how do you ever turn that thing? The tracks don’t turn as well, but the extra cab length too.

Lol ya with the tracks she is tough. I have a long winding road so it’s somewhat easy. What’s nice is the mount for the plow is customized to keep the normal turning radius of the tracks. Plowing isn’t the only use, mainly ice fishing.

Here is how mine is setup.

We were close to building right when Covid started. Then lumber prices spiked.

Some things that we wanted in our forever home which was in the north woods. It was slab on grade. One level living so when we got older there were no steps. All walls were 9ft. Spare bed rooms and bathrooms had a normal ceilings. Living room was open and opened into the kitchen with a double wide island. Vaulted ceilings in there and the master bedroom as well.

Total sq of the living space was 1900 I believe. The garage was somewhere around 30×38 with 12ft ceilings.

Some other key things to think about were on the lot you will have your well and septic and where you have your utility room at to house all that stuff. Well drillers like flat land and No rocks. But by me there are rocks the size of Volkswagens so they can get through them if needed. Also contact them and ask how deep the wells are in the area so you can get ballpark price. Also contact the power company to see that price. I was shocked when I got that price from them.

Sorry for the brain dump

I have mine mounted there. I can get chirp to find bottom going wide open. Side imaging is great but you can tell a little one side gets blocked by the motor a bit but not too bad. Let me know if you want any pics. I run garmins if that helps.

I had very little respect for AP before and now I have zero. If your in the business of making content, owning a company or part owner and you just flake out and leave one of the major marketing events you have, wow.

IDO keeps it hopping after my nap.

Few weeks ago made a random stop at Dave’s Cafe in Willow River, MN. Great little cafe in a gas station with prices from the 90s. Food was solid and the Cook was ornery, just how it should be imo 😂. What are your go-to cafes or breakfast spots?

I always wanted to stop there.

My favorite now is the Montana in Cook. Maybe I’m just biased cause I live there.

Yeah take notes where the wrapped boats are parked Sunday.

I refuse to wrap my boat anymore for this very reason unless the price is right lol.

But on the flip side, I loved messing with people who didn’t believe me. Bobbers over 60ft of water, with a wrapped boat just to see how many people would get close to me. It was very entertaining to say the least. Some friends didn’t believe me.

Aim for Vermillion won’t be 100 boats. I think we’re going to have around 70-80 maybe, maybe even less. I can’t wait to head up Thursday to start pre fishing.

I have only fished this lake twice in my life and didn’t catch a dang thing the entire time haha. So just because we’re tournament anglers or have wrapped boats, doesn’t mean we’re crushing fish.

I am hoping to break my curse on this lake.

Same goes for a guide boat. I mean I don’t mind if someone wants to fish by me but usually it gets to the point we’re one boat wants to use my graphs to see his jig.

Where are you staying on the lake?

There are some big ones everywhere even on the tower end. Just don’t fish in 30 ft of water with everyone else.

When your up pm me if you get into a rut. I can help you out.

I ate all the goodies already. But a good mix is the 2 dads mix I just got. I like to have one on the weekends in the morning before I go fish. I keep it a virgin but add a little pickle juice.

Wow I wish I understood decking and that stuff. If anyone wants to fish vermilion and help/show me how to rebuild a small deck let me know.
