    What’s a “walleye wing”?

    Love those pizzas for being an open slate.

    Pre game reporter: Is there any Lions defender who can cover you?

    JJ: There aint no one in the league who can cover me!

    Except the lions.

    I have a quick draw in my ranger. I do have to tighten the lock nuts once a year. We drive it around alot and it’s never fell down. I am not real happy with how loose the barrels are though. It has worn the finish off a few barrels.

    FWIW, I built an unheated shed last year. 14′ sidewalls, laminated post frame, no pipes in cement, building is wrapped and ready for heat. It was about $50 a square foot, and I did most of the site prep myself.
    The price of materials went up 10% from the prior year.

    Fleet in Alexandria is about the same. Last Saturday morning, there was two lanes open and they kept telling the ones in the back of the line to go to the service counter. I was in line for 10 minutes for 2 items.
    The Walmart was just as bad.

    Unfortunately, they don’t care that you you walked out either, leave a bad review, that might help.

    When I worked for an ag dealer, their “book” time was determined in the factory under a controlled screnro. Take an alternator replacement: factory worker replaces said alternator in a brand new tractor. He then puts it all back together, puts the tools needed on a bench and repeats the process. The second go round is timed and used for “book” time.

    Dealers want trained factory workers replacing parts. Like specialized doctors. Fine, but it does not work in the real world. What caused the part to fail? That is where you need someone with a brain to figure things out or repeat the process at the expense of the customer later.

    $1200 for a 10 hour job seems reasonable. Dealers have many more “mouths to feed” out of that labor than an independent guy in his garage.

    I see fleet farm has a High desert 42 gun safe for $450. Is that worth buying? It’s kinda what I am looking for.

    Really quiet this morning with the heavy fog.
    Only 3 shots by 8am!

    Weedis, hope you find that deer, that’s tough to loose the first one.

    273 is home for me. All harvest and tillage is done so we can get out. 5 in our family all out for antlers right now.
    They are moving around, two small bucks hit a quarter mile from each other 3 days apart last week.

    You play like crap you probably will not win. Only watched the last half, not pretty. Getting 3 points in red zone does not win games.
    Refs missing penalties does not help either…

    Years ago (like 5) , we ordered my kid a left-handed mossberg mini 510. Thumb safety and ejected the left side. It was pretty reasonable and solid. Now he shoots a left handed Tristar semi auto. It is better when you are comfortable shooting.
    Get what you can if it’s a “kid gun” that only lasts a couple of years.
    There is getting to be more options for south paws, luckily.

    He basically worked full time this summer. Then still works on the farm after school and on weekends. His pickup is worth more than mine!

    Thats cool CBMN. It’s heavy too!

    It’s the newest vehicle at our place!
    I usually don’t let any of them get more than 5k. With synthetic oil and name brand filter by the way.
    Yes the oil gets “cooked” and all the additives break down and do damage to cam bearings and lifters if you wait too long.

    I stand corrected. It’s called a standard bed 6′ 7″ long. Apparently gm had 3 bed lengths to choose from.

    I found a website that lists what the topper fits. Looks like 2014-2018 1/2 ton “standard” bed and 2015-2018 3/4 and one ton ‘standard” bed silverado and Sierra.

    Well, he is 15. Lol.
    I told him he will regret selling it. I would love to keep it but, I am not in the market for a pickup to put under it.

    Really nice morning. We should have stuck to the water. Tried field hunting and saw no geese. Switched it up and found our sloughs are really full of water and the cat tails are about 8′ tall. The boy managed to get 3 teal anyway.

    You could use a dc to dc charger if you don’t want to run an extension cord to the vehicle. They are used on electric over hydraulic trailers. That way it does not drain your vehicle battery but would still mean a wire connection to boat.

    X2 on the plug-in tuner. My 2010 and 2014 chevys both have them.

    Talk to your agent first and have them explain why it is so steep.
    If your not satisfied, switch. We did when our teen started driving, lowered our premium by 50% compared to state (sell the) farm (to pay)
    Insurance is a game of numbers. Boys are more expensive cause they wreck more stuff. Certain vehicles are more costly to repair and therefore cost more to insure.
