I’ve had enough of this post about violence. I’m going back to my video counsel for another all day /night round of Grand Theft Auto with my buddys. After that I’m gonna watch TV all day tomorrow with the Kill Bill series. Top off my weekend tomorrow night with some walking dead series. What could possibly go wrong! Peace out ✌️

Love my heat hog. Heats my 10 × 10 hub on half throttle under most circumstance. I put an A dapter kit and run it off a 20. Whole unit tilts up while it’s running so you don’t create a big puddle in front of the heater. Heat coil face is convex so it distributes heat more to the side instead of straight forward only. I can move it without it shutting down. When I can I buy local, sometimes at a little more cost. Then when I get defective product I go to my local guy and exchange it. Also I talk with him about the products he sells and this results in great feedback from his other customers to help me make my purchase. He also supports h.s. fishing clubs in the area, veterans fishing tournament .etc.

Some very cool 2022 memories. Here is mine: probably the single best day of fishing in my life! Not having been in Canada for a couple years, I gladly settled on my dog Cash as my partner as Canada at the time had some stringent crossing rules and nobody could go with me. My first full day back offered me absolute perfect boat travel weather. Something needed fishing a large open Canadian lake, if you want to find the spots unspoiled. I boated roughly 6 hours that day, the rest of the hours left for fishing. Boated 15 pike over 40″ including a 48″, 2 45″ and two 43″. The fat females were up shallow and polarized glasses spotting the largest girl’s were key. This was so much fun as I chose the fish I wanted to catch slowly cruising a large flat as shallow as possible. A simple drop of my spoon triggered inhaling bites every time. The 48 was / is my personal best. The one time I forgot my digital scale this fish was without a doubt 28# of pure pike. Selfy does this gal little justice.

I love the continuation of this thread. Hope to be eating my favorite game bird soon along with timber doodles opening up this Saturday. I love grouse fresh never frozen and I’m a plain grouse guy myself. But they are delicious in any form stated with cream of mushroom or chicken and with a bed of wild rice. Never thought of potatoes!
More recipes please!

My wife and I started sharing a 1/4 with another couple of locally grown grass fed angus. Put it this way, I dont think I’ll be buying beef from any chain grocery store ever again. This beef taste so much better and is considerably cheaper than any crap on the store shelves. Best move weve made on groceries in a long time

People. I hate people

Attending my nieces wedding in the south end of the state. Glad to see you guys getting some action. Thankfully we have about 100 days left in the season!

You boys need to understand I’m from the Joe Biden school of thought: I just do what I want regardless of law.
I wasnt expecting to get called out on it cuz Joe gets away with it. You guys are like the main stream media without an agenda.

That leads me up to this:

The Taliban is opening up a line of military surplus stores. There calling it Traitor Joe’s.

I’m kinda surprised you guys didnt notice the .25 degree angle I built it on east to west falling for rain drainage lol

Also for the main beams I’ll take 1/8″ stainless and make a truss support to cover each post from the edge of the ground brack up to the top of each beam?

Since Im a toolmaker by trade what if I cover the posts in 1/16 stainless with feet that attach to the main beam and the top deck. Say the full 9″ depth up to the bottom rail. Do you think that would be strong enough to pass code?

I have not installed the brackets yet as I just got them yesterday! Still working on it. If I get called for the posts I’ll fix them. Just what everyone had in the hood. Any oother questions. Yes hanger joist brackets are installed

Since this is my retirement plan I might as well share the atv/ hiker/ hunter trail I put through the property to access the atv/snomachine trail that cuts through the property. 200 yards of gravel and pit run for 200 yards of trail 6′ wide.

Anyone care to guess the budget on that project?

Thanks! Budget included lattes and a 6er of canoe Paddler! 6 days of building / busting ass and maybe had 10 cans on the job. Everything done except stairs and a little trim work inside vestibule. I was a little p.o. at being 1/4″ off my span on deck boards 16′ over and 26′ but I think it was warp

I finally broke down and am in the process of getting vaccinated. I had covid last October. But all the safe guards at work for covid have been removed ( paid time off) in fact the first shot got me so sick I missed work and did not get paid for it. Thanks for nothing government over reach, this is what 5 trillion spent on covid gets me! But I figure now they cant make me go home if covid breaks out in my workplace or treat me differently for not being vaccinated. Atleast that’s my hope. Plus once vaccinated I wont have to wear a mask at work – for now. Basically I felt I had no choice but to get the poke in order to best protect my livelihood. To me that’s wrong but that’s the world we currently live in.

Let’s not forget about customer service: I ordered the majority of my lumber yesterday morning. While they didn’t have the time for free delivery because of time restraints (I needed it delivered the same day) when I pulled in at 1 they had everything waiting for me and they hand pick each piece so I wont have to sift through warped lumber! Now onto the build.

I bought this over under last year after much research. For your price range you will be very happy with this gun. Super light, easy to handle, cones with all the choke tubes. I took it farm pheasant hunting twice and it handled the high brass 3″ shot very well also. I couldnt be happier with this gun and I hunt upland with my gsp 3 times a week through fall. 7 days and counting…..

In this instance every situation is different. Check out the campground and see what kind of neighbor’s you have. Every lake and campground is gonna have it’s own flavor. Its not for everyone but it seems to be a stepping stone to buying on the lake for others.

20 quarts of fresh sauce with garden garlic and garden peppers. Bet you can taste my wifes spaghetti sauce. It’ll cost you a bottle of red. Some for the sauce some for the boss

Lived in E.C. for 17 years. The Chippewa and Eau Claire Rivers both offer great fishing. Alma is an hour away. Some of my best fishing came on the Dells Pond portion of the river in the fall. Fishing in town all by yourself and catching numerous walleye, musky, smallys and crappy is tough to take. A bit of a learning curve down there but that’s why so few fish it. Send me a p.m. if your interested and I’ll get your curve flattened out a bit…..

This battery was 50 from 100. I’m kicking myself for not buying 2. Scheels sometimes does the same promo. I’m hoping…..

I got a pretty sweet deal on a lithium from scheels last year around black Friday. Keep that in mind….

Great job Dan.

Maybe next year, then again maybe not.

I would say this:

There’s alot going on in the world and very few places for people to discuss it in a civil manner. So it bubbles under the surface, then a talking point or maybe a smart ass comment triggers that under tow. Some people get offended or cant handle it and block it out, others want more and push the button. We all have our own mechanisms to handle it right or wrong. But in the end to suppress it at every sociol interaction and platform is not something that’s healthy.
