I carry Sig everyday. I didn’t jump on their P320, and still carry a P228, P220, and P226. I feel safer having a DA/SA setup.
I carry the P229 (40cal) and love it. I’ve got 2 of them and wouldn’t consider anything else.
What ever the case is with this fish what a great example of catch, picture and release at work. Good to see.
Fools…..???
While you are on your self imposed pedestal – to hell with special speed limits through work zones; road closures due to flooding; closures due to blizzards; want me to keep going? You government conspiracy theorists / extremists (both sides)are the reason this country is going to crap!!
Time to go out on Pool 4, enjoy the peacefulness of a full no-wake zone while and put the smack down on the Waldo’s. Tight lines.
And none of this is a BAN on ones rights. The river has been a hell of a lot higher than it is now and NEVER has a BAN been put in place. WAKE UP…..
It’s clear you didn’t read the posting put out by the USCG. NO place did they ever mention the reasoning behind the BAN was due to ecosystem damage OR damage to structures or property. They only played the “SAFETY” of boaters and hazards that maybe in the water. You fools that support such a BAN are the reason this country is going to crap.
In all my life I’ve never seen the Cost Guard close the river to recreational boating like this. This is another over step of “authority” by a government agency that needs it’s wings clipped. Talk about trampling on people’s Rights, here is another example of it. This is just like closing all business during COVID. When is enough, enough and we take back our country. I don’t need the government telling me what is safe and what isn’t and I’m betting neither do any of you. We all know the water is high and dangerous. That’s why we aren’t out there. Back off big brother….
Guys are running side by sides and atv’s on the ice. It’s been a zoo in that area. Seems no one works anymore and everyone has taken up ice fishing. Good luck
The concrete should NEVER have been power washed prior to 28 days. The blankets should have been put down as soon as the mix would hold up to the weight. Cutting the next day is usually ok. When you pour in cold temps you gamble that the mix wont freeze or get so cold that it interrupts the chemical reaction that takes place and weakens the final product. The length of time to leave blankets on is dependent on the low temps. Some cases a week if fine others two weeks isn’t long enough. Ive seen times when contractors have had to add heat to concrete blankets to keep it warm enough.

Your contractor is an idiot. You NEVER power wash concrete that hasn’t cured for a MINIMUM of 30 day from date of pour. Can be longer depending on conditions. What happens is the pressure degrades the surface/finish and it flakes off. Where is the missing piece? Contact the concrete company that supplied the mix. They have people that will come look at it and are usually very good at trouble shooting your problem. Tell them exactly what happened. The company that the mix came from can be your greatest ally when going after the contractor for replacement. Also DO NOT make final payment to the contractor until they warranty the concrete from future flaking. Make that warranty for a MINIMUM of 1 year. I’m willing to bet your going to see many more problems then just that spot. I’ve been working as a batchman in a concrete plant for many years. So I’ve seen A LOT of stupid thing done by people that call themselves a concrete contractor. Any fool can pour and screed concrete. Not all can make it look nice and have it last.A 1 year warranty was included, I made sure of that. As far as the integrity of the concrete, with your experience, is there anything to worry about? With it obviously being cause by the power washer, does it show pre-mature signs of anything else? Temps have been fluctuating from 30’s-50’s and the blankets have been down for the first week.
Thanks for your detailed response.
For as green as your concrete is, it’s a very real possibility that the power washer forced water threw the surface of the concrete. Concrete is porous thus the reason for sealing it. What happens is water is forced into the surface and will flake off the surface due to moisture in the surface. The same as if you spray water on the surface when poured to get the cream to rise. Excessive water makes for weaker concrete. Concrete has small air bubbles in it. These air bubbles allow for expansion and contraction of the concrete with the changing temps. Water washes these minute bubbles out so the concrete has no room to move around. Good luck with how you handle this. As mentioned before contact the company the mix came from to get there support if you need to take legal action. Only time is going to tell if your going to have any issues. With any luck you will be fine but it can go the other way and that’s what you need to be prepared for. Concrete takes 28 days to cure. That’s how long the chemical reaction that takes place in it lasts. In the perfect world you would keep off it for that long, but after a week you NORMALLY can use it. Good Luck
Just take look at this video. Looks like your concrete.

If the Vikings never won another game ever I would be happy. If they want to have that scumbag Floyds family be the only ones allowed to watch a game in person and then have the balls to play “The Black National Anthem” then they deserve what they get. Last I checked the National Anthem has no race and is for EVERYONE. The Vikings organization is a bunch of SCUMBAGS. Move to another state scumbags…..You are entitled to your opinion but according to you the Vikings and NFL are not.
Your KKK dues are due Jan 1.
Not condoning attaching race to an anthem makes me a KKK member? You ignorant liberal, you better wake up and take a good look at yourself and whats taking place.

I been pretty disappointed with Fleet Farm in general since the new one opened in Delevan WI I did a online order yesterday for their cyber Monday deal. I wanted a couple things one of which was their Vexilar hoodie they had on sale for $20 in their ad. I could not even find it online to order and nowhere to be found in the store. I know we are in the middle of a pandemic which has disrupted the supply chain for a lot of things but even before the pandemic the Delevan store has never been fully stocked with fishing supplies for open or hard water. Was ecstatic when a Fleet Farm near me opened but have been disappointed ever since it’s opened. The Gander near me closed down and now there is no good option near me. Ordering online is about the only option left which is convenient but when it comes to tackle I like to see it in person.
The Fleet farm in Winona has a whole rack filled with the very shirt your looking for. I picked one out just due to the price. I’ve noticed the last few weeks no matter what I look for in Winona it always says Not available. Fleet Farm has gone down hill ever since they were bought out.
Just went through this with the registrar, MN doesn’t issue watercraft titles for boat 16’ and smaller.
NOT TRUE. I just sold my War Eagle 542 that is 15 feet long and it DID have a Minnesota title. The title was transferred over to the new owner….
Green sunfish. No doubt
Too big for green sunfish. Tilapia
Just told that at 2pm ….governor walz is expected to announce shelter in place order for MN
Must have got your info off facebook.. Another fool jumping to conclusion and getting people worked up for nothing. Do everyone a favor and stop spewing miss facts and false assumptions around. People are worked up enough.
If you want to trap coon go for it. I’ve caught A LOT of coon in single digit temps. Don’t bother waiting for a warm spell. Coon may den up for some time but they don’t hibernate like other animals. Creek are a great place to set in late winter if the water is open. Not sure where you trap but if in Minnesota pay attention to the regs in regards to bucket sets and using 220’s. Don’t try to figure out there breeding season seeing it runs from January to June. You can keep your baits from freezing by using Glycerine don’t use large amounts of salt. It’s hard on traps.
It takes me one hand to talk on the phone and two hand to eat a Big Mac. Maybe we need a law for hands free eating as well. Seeing that both activities can be cover under existing distracted driving laws.
Enjoy your outing and turn the phone off. It’s amazing how everyone seems to live and die by a phone.
My idea to keep kids safe at schools is easy. Create a police sub station in the schools. A office that is for nothing more the police to come in and do police reports and any other computer work they need to do. No prisoners just cops doing the office work they all have to do. There is no point to all them resources concentrated in one police station when they could be out in the field achieving the same result. It’s a win, win for all. In the rural areas a officer my be in a office a long way from a call for help in the county. This way you can keep the resources spread out and in better position to handle calls. The cost would be minimal and you would never know when and how many would be working in the sub station. That’s my idea of a step in the right direction.
I run all MB650’S for coyotes. They are a trap that is made for the beating that a coyote can deliver. I wouldn’t recommend going cheap when it comes to coyote traps. They can be hard on traps and you want something that will hold up.
Let me start by saying, sometimes you do things that after the fact when you get older you look back and would do thing different. When my step son was in cub scouts the dads in there where hard core with Pine wood derby and after a couple of years of the arrogance I felt it was time to shut them up. I threw down the money a purchased a Pine Wood Derby premade car, and for a pine car it was NOT CHEAP. This thing had titanium nails for axles, balanced and matched tires with the left front axle slightly higher so contact wasn’t made with the track but looked like it was when you looked at it. Between the front and rear axle it was hollowed out. From the rear axle to the back of the car it was drilled out for the tungsten weights to be placed to bring the car up to race weight. (all weight had to be behind the axles). It came with graphite for the axle/wheel lube and special paint with clear coat for the final finish. You get the picture, it wasn’t even close. VERY UNFAIR RACES. The sky is the limit on what you can WASTE if you want to CHEAT at it these races. Sure the kid has a trophy for his races but you guys that take the time and do it the RITE way are the ones that really win……
My neighbor found out that a 12foot 2×4 was to short to chase a skunk out from under his combine. Ended up with it all over in his truck. This is what I used from my collection and took care of the problem. Still no smell but summer is still to come….. I’ve used this stuff often and been very happy with it.

City and County agencies should be allowed at that sand with NO FEES to restock the sand supply for winter seeing this is being funded threw tax dollars prior to private company’s gaining from it.
you can launch from Bass Camp just north of winona on hwy61. $7 fee. You can check the east end landing in winona or the Minnesota City boat club they both MIGHT be open. I do know Bass Camp as of yesterday was good to go and should still be this weekend. They didn’t have any plans to close the landing.
I sent you a P.M. with a number to Dan Hesse’s office. He is the CEO and I have personally spoke with him twice in the last year. He will take your call if he is in his office. If not they will put you in contact with a member of the executive team. I don’t deal with customer service anymore.
I only sent rat to this auction. Ended up with a $11.30 average with my top rats going for $18. For rats they are down some from last year but not as bad as beaver coon and mink.

Secondly, state and local ordinances impact CC in a variety of ways. Any city or town can ban CC outright or can ban it in certain places and that’s that. Is such a ban or restrictions in place in the town where the Gander Mtn was?
Grouse
Your going to have to explain this. Where are you getting your info? Minnesota statute 471.633 states “The legislature preempts all authority of a home rule charter or statutory city including a city of the first class, county, town, municipal corporation, or other governmental subdivision, or any of their instrumentalities, to regulate firearms, ammunition, or their respective components to the complete exclusion of any order, ordinance or regulation by them except that:
(a) a governmental subdivision may regulate the discharge of firearms; and
(b) a governmental subdivision may adopt regulations identical to state law.”
That means the state regulates CC NO OTHER COUNTY,CITY OR TOWN CAN REGULATE OR BAN CC.
What do I need to explain? You have just cited Minnesota law. Read the original post. This incident did NOT happen in MN.
There are 49 other states and the issue the original poster is referring happened in TN.
There are all kinds of cities that have gun laws of all kinds that are more restrictive than the state. Just look at the mess in IL where the Chicago-area counties and cities have enacted a web of gun restrictions that are vastly more restrictive than IL state law.
I didn’t look up TN and I don’t know the city where the Gander in question is located. I was simply pointing out that this may not be as simple as Gander having a policy that appears to be “anti-gun”. They may be forced into this policy by a local law or ordinance.
This issue of local laws comes up all the time when people are running their mouth about how this/that retailer is “going anti” because they don’t sell guns at X or Y location. When people dig into this, often they find out that the retailer couldn’t sell guns due to local ordinance or local restrictions make it so burdensome that it isn’t worth it.
Grouse
Your the one missing the point here. If you don’t know for a fact don’t make sh1t up. When it comes to CC guys want facts not a bunch of B.S. thrown at the wall to see what sticks. I take the responsibility of CC very serious and giving guys false info only adds to the problems. His friend did NOTHING wrong when it comes to TN law. It is that GM who made the issue for him and his right to carry….

Here is TN law on CC.
“Tennessee’s preemption statute prevents localities from enacting new laws regulating the possession, ownership or transportation of firearms and ammunition. The law grandfathers local ordinances passed before 1986. But most aspects of licensed handgun carry are regulated exclusively by the state.”
Do your homework……
