I found a picture of a garage door rod holder that holds like 4 rods. I made myself a copy of it.

I don’t think almost anything will hold a charge for two years unless like a watch battery or something.

If never run, the thing should still be coated in the cosmoline type rust preventer and should be ok. Price seems just a little high but warranty is good. If the place was into bargaining, they wouldn’t have a 2008 motor! Good luck.

Different state but basically the same situation here. I’ve been yelled at numerous times and whatnot. The worst problem I’ve had is when the people yell that I need to move and then put in a boat slip like 60′ away. They can’t see and just get irritated. It is also worse because they’re paying for their slips right now, imo.

you want a prop that works when loaded.

My 50 hates old gas and loose battery cables.

I caught a little one this summer with a balloon. There was a high pitched screech sound and I later figured out it was the balloon being pulled down the line.

door size is width x height. For standard hardware, you need 15″+ from the top of the door to the ceiling. However, you can order doors 8’6″ high and have them all the same. Looks better, imo.

I have one 10′ reflex rod. I redid the handle and have some new guides to get her ready for this year. I think it was a dipsey diver rod? It is 1/2 flexible and 1/2 stiff. I had an ugly stick tiger that had the same action once. I think it is replaceable.

Otherwise, my best rod is just one that is way too light for the line on it. Like a 10-20# crankbait rod. It catches the most fish. On a lot of days, it will 2:1 a graphite rod and not sure why. Something to do with braided line maybe. Seems like it is going to break all the time.

It is harder to enjoy the money you saved if you drown.

If the building isn’t done, they might change it as part of the sale. When the real estate market was booming, I saw a lot of 8′ tall doors but when things got lean there were a lot of 7′. Measure and see what you actually need. People often over estimate the height they actually need.

easy on the wenches. they can ruin your day! happened to me many a time.

Such an excessive limit has no purpose. It made someone feel better to have a number in a chart so they made one up. The problem is that it looks like management.

Gamo is like the chevy of the airgun world.

I’ve met the guy at http://flyingdragonairrifles.org/fdallrifles.html Mike can actually fix what he sells and you’re never one day out of warranty.

Get the one with 24d and dicamba. There is a version of trimec that has both. I wasted a ton of my life on the next part. The mixing directions for a hand sprayer were way too low dose. I sprayed and sprayed and nothing ever died. I ended up at about twice the dose and it does take affect in a few days and the grass is fine. When you spray a spot of charlie, spray a circle about 4′ around it. The runners start off tiny.

This is like the third time they’ve tried to mess with transporting bait. The other options were worse. I wrote Martin Konrad who was the guy you were supposed to write about the proposed changes before and he assured me a guy could put his bait in water from home. Well, here is what he wrote.

Mr. Bjork, When transporting live fish to be used as bait, the fish must be transported in freshwater water (water taken from a treated water source). Fish must be transported this way to and from the fishing location. I would use a large container located in the transport vehicle. A smaller container to keep the bait in while fishing. If you have left over bait; water from the large contain should be use to rinse off the fish. Once rinsed you can place the bait fish back in the large container for transport back home. When leaving your fishing location all water-related equipment needs to be drained of water. Water-related equipment is portable bait containers, live wells, ballast tanks, bilge areas and water-hauling equipment.

This winter they were proposing basically limiting to bullheads and bluegills and the current bait. They dumped that plan. There was no comment period for this one that I know of.

What troubles me, is I put my drain plug in at home so I don’t sink my boat.

I’m also worried that an over zealous DNR guy would write a ticket for bait water no matter what you do. I do hear of a few reports of questionable tickets. They interpret the law how they feel like to some extent, at least that is what it sounds like.

On the flip side, I was never checked last year. I don’t see DNR unless I go to a lake on a week day and they have the patrol boat. There are only 50ish officers. I assume they will try to enforce these laws in lakes with zebra infestations and such which I think includes clear lake which is a lot of recreational boats.

Iowa DNR law is weird. They enforce so little, it is hard to tell their intent.

It will be kind of akward mowing the lawn while you’re bent over beside the mower. Maybe you can put a handle down there to make pushing easier?

I want to get some silver carp and try that.

I’m not sure how light/dark apply when I can only see two inches into the water but it does. I think cloudy would have helped today but no one told me it wasn’t going to get as hot as they forecasted. Water level down here is pretty decent. Just super moon and super humidity this week.

Not a nibble last night till almost midnight. I assume they fed later…….

Don’t eat muskies? Not true. Muskies are delicious. Smoked musky on a cracker is a delicacy and muskie fish patties satisfy children and make then better behaved. Also lowers cholesterol and helps women maintain their figure.

It seems like some vehicles get an easy 100k and some a much harder version. I’ve seen some discussion of some low mileage toys rustin apart even though they don’t get any miles. It all depends. One thing that does bother me though is when the vehicle gets old enough the titles don’t track the miles anymore, at least where I live. I’ve seen it a couple of times in a forum. A guy buys this 10 year old 10k mile car and then runs a carfax or whatever on it later and finds out the last time it was serviced there was 199k miles on it.

Dave, so you using an atomizer and dripping every two or three puffs or a cartomizer? I’m a fan of cartomizers. Somewhat less fiddling with them.

I see people talking like ecigs are a quitting tool. I guess they could be that but they are literally an alternative to smoking. If you smoked for a decade or to or three, it might take more than a weekend or a month or a year to quit. I buy whatever supplies I want and it costs maybe 1/2 of what it did to smoke.

… I am 1 1/2 days without chewing (I started e-cigs 5 days ago). Still a challange for me… I REALLY want that dip in my lip.

Dave, I gave it a try because I found the e-cig forum and I’ve been with it a while. There is a confusing array of equipment available. If you get juice from a shop, you can choose the mg of nic. Maybe in a wider variety than you have now. If you need anything, I would be happy to discuss. I would prefer not to do it here, in this thread. It has turned into one of those discussions where no one can hold a candle to the cold-turkey crowd.

Larry, There is a place up in MN that sells filter foam for a fish tank version. link They just power them with a bubbler. The mat is pretty stiff. I’m tinkering a bit on this one. Didn’t want an ugly bucket sitting on top of it. A nitrite kit would be wise.

Thanks for a not crabby conversation.

I meant to mention a lot of koi ponds have a settling tank which would be a cool feature. They have the main tank overflow into a settling tank and then siphon off the top half of the tank to feed the pump. The poop settles to the bottom of the settling tank so they can crack a valve and drain the poop off in a minute or two.

You can buy the oval headed ones at some woodworking places. Rockler, maybe.

Some outdated study said catfish were worth about double the price of rough fish per pound. And they do net them on the Iowa/Ill border.

I met a guy that nets carp and buffalo and he was pleasant. Every sportsman wants them out of the lake so the commercial guy is your friend here.

The weirdness with pay ponds is that there is a limited area for them to harvest fish and it is pressured. One side of the river there is maybe one big fish per day and on the other side anything goes. And the fish get sold back across the state line to confuse things.

If it wasn’t for pay ponds, they would harvest smaller fish and the length limit regulations would pass easier. People are not happy with the politicians who influence these things.

Have a nice day gentlemen. Winter is going. Eventually.

I don’t carry as much as I first thought. A pull start emergency rope and an extra boat plug are high on my list though. Also want to get an extra boat key.

There is a ground at every fixture.
