I also use water and a cotton towel. Works great for me.

Good luck jbob. I’ll be fishing it for the first time. I wish the weather would improve for pre-fishing. Sounds like 20-30mph winds tomorrow afternoon.

I watched Myth Busters when they tried to replicate that picture and the most they were able to do was get a small bulge in the barrel. They even shoved the gun barrel into dirt to pack it tight and nothing happened. I also believed they lightly welded something to the end and couldn’t get it to banna peel. After watching that episode I don’t know if I am sold on that picture be truthful.

This is the second year that I have fish the series and I very much enjoy it. They run a nice circuit and the other teams are a bunch a friendly guys.

This is what I found on the 21 gun salute.

I wouldn’t hold my breath on anything changing soon. They called off the groud search this morning. The situation seems a little fishy from the rumors that I have heard up in this neck of the woods.

The situation with the FBI comes about because Red Lake is a closed reservation. One of a very few in the U.S. The only law enforcement agents with policing powers are federal agents. County and State law enforcement personel cannot enforce laws on their reservation without permission.

The White Earth tribe will advertise their jobs with this at the end.

Hmmmm???

Jon that may be true in the Mille Lacs area but here in Mahnomen county the whole county is with in the reservation. The tribe has to sign a “policing” agreement with the counties in order for their own police department to stop non-tribal members. The “reservation” communites in Mahnomen county tend to get more tribal police patrols so maybe thats why the county stays away from the reservation areas around Mille Lacs. In our county the Sheriffs department would have to investigate the problems that are seen at the launch but their might not be enough officers to patrol the area properly. We have a few launches in the county that I will not use for the same reasons and stated earlier.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t band members living on res. only subject to their own laws and law enforcement?

Sort of….. I live on the White Earth Reservation and tribal members subject to our counties law enforcement (primary for the county, tribal law enforcement is sub par) and the state patrol. There are exceptions: “regulatory” laws i.e. speeding, no insurance, running stop signs, etc. DUI’s and other more serious crimes fall under that juristiction of state laws. The only place this doesn’t hold true for in the the state of MN is the Red Lake Reservation which is termed a closed reservation. You need to be a federal law enforcement agent to arrest people on the Red Lake reservation.

I have to older Honda’s, a 1976 and a 1982. They are just fine to work on but they are both in-line 4 cylinders so it is easy to get the carbs off and out. I just ordred (off of ebay) four carb kits for the 1982 900cc and the total cost was $70……not that expensive. I would not shy away from these older bikes as they are well made and still have many good years and miles left in them.

Interesting observation about the illegal aliens from another site.

TO THE HEAD OF THE LINE [John Derbyshire]
Tom Sowell points up a little-discussed aspect of the Senate proposal to amnesty illegal aliens: the affirmative action angle. Most of the people living here illegally — including all Central Americans, under the “Hispanic” label — be eligible for affirmative action programs and “diversity” quotas in hiring, contracting, college admissions, etc. They would thus go to the head of the line in many situations, in front of native-born U.S. citizens. And this would be true EVEN BEFORE THEY GOT CITIZENSHIP, as the quota and “diversity” rules kick in as soon as you are legally resident.

Native-born U.S. citizens, and people who entered the country lawfully would, unless they belonged to some preferred category of “historically disadvantaged” persons, be left, ah, living in the shadows.

I have you dryer sheets for years and never had any problems. Yesterday I find a mouse nest in one of the storage compartments and its located next to a dryer sheet. I must have some tough mice running around my shed!

Thanks for the information.
