Then sell that acadia and don’t ever buy a mid-size GM SUV again, because they are all garbage (acadia, equinox, whatever else they sell now that is in that segment).
Or any 1/2 ton Silverado’s either. In fact, just don’t ever buy anything from GM ever again! What a garbage company!
I’d avoid any GM product like the plague. We have a a half dozen or more 2016-2017 Silverado’s at my work and all but 1 (mine) has had its transmission replaced within 125-150K miles (3 have even had a 2nd tranny replaced). The one I drive is the only one that hasn’t been replaced yet, but I only have 100K on it, so I foresee a break down at some point this summer…
Called it!!! Not a shocker, but today my transmission took a dump on my work truck. It’s unbelievable to me how these generations of trucks never were recalled for this issue. Looks like it’ll be a few weeks before the new tranny gets here. Right in the prime of busy season! Chevy = GARBAGE!
Had some baby barred owls hanging out in our yard last summer. If you’ve never heard a baby barred owl screech and then suddenly hear that sound echoing from different areas in your yard late at night, it sends chills down your spine. 😆
Check hours on the motor, it is apparently quite common for compressor to go out between 600-800 hours. I had mine go out last year at 588. After researching I learned that it is common once it gets to that point. Other than that no complaints at all.
I’m at around 350, so with any luck I’ll get a few more years out of it.
I have a 1999 200hp Optimax. Last year was my first year with it so I don’t have much for history on it. I know it’s one of the generations that coined the name “OptiPop”, so I’m proceeding with caution. So far it seems to run nice, definitely has a growl. I ran the Merc oil in it last year, but just added a gallon of Lucas 2-cycle synthetic to it this last weekend. Merc oil was $50/gal and Lucas was $30. Maybe I’ll regret pinching pennies, but I think that other $20 is the cost of labeling it a Merc product. We’ll see!
Flame away, but there’s only 1 thing left to do to that monster…. 1 behind the ear. Done! Bad dogs simply need to be put down.
Such a tragic and horrifying story. As a father of 3 girls, I can’t even begin to wrap my head around this and how I can possibly raise my girls without being a completely paranoid helicopter parent.
I really don’t think the lakes north of Hwy 2, or for sure the Iron Range will have open water by opener. In the 10 day forecast, there are only 2 days with overnight lows above freezing, and next Tuesday the low is saying 18…. Not looking good!
I just hope summer falls on a weekend this year!
The last few days up here could easily be passed off as January weather. High of 23 today…. Supposed to get down into the low teens tonight. We’re still making ice in mid-April!
Another vote for weather underground. Dark Sky Weather is good too!
as long as there is cash, there will be coin. I will be long dead before cash as currency is bye bye.
You on your way out or something? Many in the Govt pushing hard for a CBDC. It’s coming, whether we like it or not. I’ll give cash 2 more years, tops.
On the podcast or tv show? There are commercials for sure on the tv show, but I dont see him advertising this scent killer, line of boots, trail cameras or insert other products here during the actual episodes.
The show is a constant promo for First Lite, etc. Every person he has on gets decked out in FL. It’s subtle and not in your face like other shows, but it’s in there and definitely being pushed.
and he isnt always cramming product down your throat.
This made me LOL! He definitely pushes his fair share of products.
Just a heads up that it’s illegal to camp at the fisherman parking lots. Good luck!
Just curious, why do you need the RABC? I thought we could cross freely on water without the RABC or calling in. Or does the RABC allow you to touch land and stay in Canada?
Need the RABC to go up into La Croix in the winter and also folks need it to get into the Quetico.

Does this mean I can get my RABC Permit?Nope. There are currently no plans to reinstate the RABC program. Hopefully that changes.
Uggh, what a joke…

Maybe deadly force should be allowed. A couple of these scum bags take a bullet and word gets out that that could be their fate, you bet your arse this shat would cool down real quick.
Its a mess! It’s also dog shat season. When you get fresh dustings most days during the year it’s impossible to maintain and keep up.

pick 1 and be done!How the HE11 am I going to know when to change the batteries in the smoke alarms!!
The number of clocks I need to actually change are getting less and less each year. I would prefer to keep it the way it is, but I won’t be complaining if we change.
(Prediction: we won’t be changing)
Batteries in What? Those need batteries? 
I agree, we’ll be barking about falling back an hour again over deer opener.
On a lighter note: this thread reminds me of an old Indian proverb regarding DSL
“Only a white man would think that cutting an inch off one end of the blanket and sewing it to the other end will make it a longer blanket”
It’s actually “Only the Government….”
I’m with the majority, pick 1 and be done! I’d prefer DST, over standard because evenings generally offer more opportunity to utilize that extra daylight vs mornings. For me, a 9 am sunrise in the dead of winter doesn’t really affect or bother me, but having a 5:30pm sunset will allow me more opportunities after work.
Not so much for fishing, but for sure the recreational boating fun days on Vermilion, VNP will definitely be taking a hit.
Don’t think I’ll make it up to Kettle Falls this summer.
My wife said to me last night she may be able to change her hours at work so we could car pool. Apparently the facial expression I made in my mind I actually made with my face. So I am currently dealing with that….

Saturday looks like mostly rain in the south and snow in the north. If this map proves to be accurate, the snow pack is going to really disappear quick in the south. Check out the temperatures in Iowa…70’s!So sad. First good sledding last weekend and now it could be over. #%$@&*
Dude, we’ve had great sledding up here the whole winter. You snooze you loose!
I’m a guy and I live on up on da’Range, and some would tell you I’m a little deranged, especially about fishin!
I rarely use live bait for panfish. Small tube jigs slowly reeled back to the boat crush crappies and gills. I also have success trolling small cranks for crappies and occasional gills.
I have a hard time going for walleye without live bait on me, unless I’m specifically trolling cranks. I just don’t get to fish enough to master the art of plastics. I don’t have any confidence in them.
I also really like to tip my jigs with some meat when I’m jigging for Lakers. I know I don’t need it, but I definitely think it helps at times, especially in open water when you don’t graph them as often.
As someone who is just beginning to dip their toes into the world of western hunting applications this year, this was an awesome read!
It’s amazing just how ridiculous navigating the rules, applications, draws, fees, etc. just to go out of state to hunt an elk and mule deer are. It’s a bucket list trip for me but I almost want to back out just because it’s so absurd and expensive.
I thought it was a fantastic series! Loved it! Way better than Yellowstone, especially after this last let-down of a season.
From what I understand there is a 2nd season now in the works, as there should be. Seems to be plenty of that story left to be told.
Remember that flash forward to when James stumbles into the home wounded and you hear Margaret screaming and we’re left to assume that’s when he dies? What happened there? Did I miss something?
I’ve got an 05 AC Panther 570 and that thing has been a beast for me! Never an issue with it in the 8-9 years I’ve owned it. I don’t put much for miles on it as it’s basically my boat for winter. I grease the bearings every spring and run non-oxy or premium in the tank.
