There a SAE2 plug. Put that into Amazon and you will see them with a inline fuse as well. I have Noco charger and use those on most all battery’s that I own.

I get what your saying Matt but my grip is what are getting for our boat license vs what we get for our fishing license. Too much tax and nothing to show for it.

The State of Minnesota requires sales tax to be collected by businesses selling boats. Minnesota Sales tax rate on boats is 8.125%. Boat Trailers are taxed at 6.875%.

So your $50,000 boat cost you $4125 in tax for your boat and $350 for the trailer. You would think we should get a lifetime license for the boat for that price.

I just feel we are not getting our moneys worth for what we are paying in to the state.

MN state park pass and boat tags are still the best deal on anything in the state.

Do you guys typically keep your pitchforks right next to the keyboard or do you have to run out to the barn every time you get riled up? And if it’s the latter aren’t you exhausted yet?

There are around 800,000 registered boats in Minnesota and look at the price increase per boat. I have not seen many improvements so where is all the money going ? Most of the boat access’s were built in the 60s so its not there and stocking has not changed all that much.

My 91 1660 was still $53 so I think it is based on length only.

Use 3m 35 vinyl tape. I like the yellow or the red. Stretch the tape when putting on but not the last inch or so because it will want to retract over time. If you have a cork rod handle is the only time I would put tape down first before securing. Myself I would never use masking tape..way too much goo. 3 M 35 won’t leave the residue like cheap tape.

Same with avocados. I don’t even remember hearing about avocados until about 2010. I don’t think they existed before then.

I tried them in the 60s at my Aunt and Uncles and loved it. They went to Cali a lot and knew how to make good guacamole.

Hook the lip on the wet side of the ice. Will give you a really good idea!

That’s all I use. Quick and easy to read.

Won’t let me add file !!

I have been seeing what the next week or 2 is going to bring and it sounds cold. We might even see -20 for a low and highs below zero. This is from the National Weather service.

Not that hard to make up some short jumper cables out of 8 gauge wire. I always have a set in the boat and the 4 wheeler just in case.

I have a cutting board that I use on top of the washing machine. I wipe down with lemon wipes when done. Making sure it is cleaner when I am done then it was when I started.

Here is the board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C81T4R8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

We might have 5 or 6″ with light snow still coming down.

I have to agree with Captain Musky. Anything to bring misery to the Philly fans just makes me smile. Hate is a strong word but in this case it fits perfectly!!

Just to give you an idea on what it is like in a clinic with drug reps. Maybe not today but not long ago. I was doing the wiring for a new addition and was going back and forth between the new and the old. Lunch time comes and the break room was full of fried chicken and all of the other good stuff. Next day it was pizza and every day it was something. This clinic was not that big but the drug reps were there just about everyday. Drug dealers trying to bribe the doctors is the way I saw it. Just to be fair it was the same thing when I worked at the Duluth clinic doing phone work before it was Essentia.

My doctor always asks and my answer is always no. I have never got the flu or had any type of symptom that was close to the flu. I got the covid set of shots but no more. Got a buddy that got really screwed up from them. Never got covid but the other 30 some people who work on my line got it. Never missed a day of work.

Why not just cloverleaf your holes with a 8″.

Marine General has the older version of the pistol bit for $99 as well.

I wonder if the Flame King valve is not on tight enough to the 20lb tank or is froze up a bit. I would take the 20lb into the house for a day and then give it a try.

What tanks are you filling ?
How full is your 20 # ?
Is it upside down ?

I only use Flame King and never had a problem.

This will explain the difference.

Twins are certainly imploding from within. No money … boy never heard that from the Twins before.

The sad fact is the Twins are one of the most profitable baseball teams. They make more money then the Yankees because the Yanks spend there’s on team payroll instead of putting it in there pocket.

I agree and I am a part of that demographic. I will take an ATV or Snowmobile, but if someone can just drive a vehicle to these normally inaccessible spots it really doesnt give the fish a break from pressure.

I think the last 2 winters have given the fish enough of a break. Too much snow and then a very short winter.

All the cold weather will make some good ice quickly and extend winter ice fishing. Not like last year where it was done by mid January.

Seems odd. Not a lot of people calling for restrictions on Autos or at least a background check to buy one. What, No red flag warning laws needed on deadly item like a auto? They is just no way you can stop Evil people from doing evil things in this world.

Maybe if we require them to carry liability insurance in case of manslaughter they might have better background checks. Just a thought.

I also thought it was strange that the rental place was unknown to me but I don’t rent vehicles.

I bought 4 off Amazon 2 years ago and got them for half of what they are going for now. It was a end of year and they were not known as well at the time.

I really like the line guide on the President but will stay with my Piscifun for now.

Makes you wonder what is going to happen when you get the Super Bowls crowds. Hopefully they get there barriers in place by then which will help to shut down traffic on Bourbon street.
