Pike- Shoot me a PM of where you are thinking of heading and I could possibly help you out closer to the season

It will work, will just take a while longer to charge at only 5/amps per bank

They are the bare bones model, no Bluetooth and not heated. Can buy a battery monitor pretty cheap tho

I ordered 3 100ah “like new” ones yesterday for $120/ each. Still come with the 5 year warranty and basically was an opened box that got returned. Figured that was worth the gamble

I got it too. How much of this is a scare tactic and then 1 month from now they are advertising a 60% discount at the same price it is today

My Minn Kota PC charger (on AGM setting) charges my lithium batteries fine. I can check charge on the Bluetooth app, which states 100% charge when finished. The BMS should have overcharge protection, protecting from overcharging. This I can also check from the app.

How long have you been doing this? I have heard you can but didnt know of anyone first hand doing this

The name…
Im sure there is some better components and the guts of the battery is probably better. But from reviews and real life experiences I will take my chances at buying LiTimes 2-3X for what the other ones cost. And with the price of lead acid batteries its not much more to just go with Litimes to try

Lots of guys using a heating blanket to resolve this.

No problem. I have more access to private land than what I need but there is some very good deer that are in public and WIA that don’t seem to get to much pressure because it is simply over looked.

If anyone is planning to hunt in the NE part of the state, shoot me a DM. Living in Watertown, I can certainly help point a couple guys in the right direction and do some scouting during the summer

I saw at the local one here a Nitro ZV21 was on sale for 120K. Sticker said $975/month. Read the fine print and it was $975/month for 240 months at 8.9% interest. Who would be this mentally incompetent to do this? Probably the same person complaining about the price of eggs

Reno has a nice resort and Im sure there is some VRBOs out there. Can catch walleyes off the dock at night. Minnewaska would be good to with all the bass and panfish, but its also spendy. Any lake that time of year should be able to get the kid on some fish off the docks. Osakis is another option

Bought a dyson when the 1st kid was born 6 years ago and still working like a champ. i never knew how much of a difference there was between a generic and a dyson

While on this subject… if anyone has a 36V Ultrex with a 60″ shaft they are looking at getting rid of please reach out. I am in the market.

in 2 months im going to be telling myself “damn should have bought more”

The sanders brothers were quite amazing. I remember when Zach got pinned at a tournament in the middle of the year to Andy Forester from Madelia-Truman. I think he was an 8th grader then and Andy was a junior.

Staples-Motley was an absolute powerhouse back in the day. They have been working on a comeback for a while.

Didnt they quit making these a few (4-5) years ago? Not sure why they would carry replacement parts.

But to help you out… when I had one, my latch broke as well and I put a small eye bolt on each side and used a bungy strap to keep it shut and never had a problem with it this way.

After getting multiple quotes for a full flake polyaspartic covering and everyone charging between $5.50-$7/sq ft. Im going to tackle the job myself

What email did you use? I asked about ordering some different triggers. I like the plastics ones better than the metal ones. Never heard anything back

Fly line is the best thing i have used

Im probably the polar opposite of everyone else here but I get it changed when the bell goes off and have never had a problem with any of our 3 vehicles and they all have over 150K miles. ’12 ecoboost, ’15 explorer, ’21 civic

I always use full synthetic and whatever brand the quick lube uses

I buy corn for an ethanol plant. You really get to see what everyone is like

Alright now the big question is can you get us any deals???

Owning multiple properties and their corresponding tax bills can add up.
Relying on one pension, 401k, 403b, and a fraction of the SS you paid in is risky.

This…. I have always said and will for years that SS is the absolute worst program in history. You will never get back what you pay in, let me handle my own money and invest it how I want. The day they quit SS will be a blessing

bassh83er- Care to share which lake this was?

Running some #’s. 100,000 loan at 6% for 10 years is a payment of 1110.00 if he books 2 days at 800.00 a day thats 1600.00. That covers the loan and puts 490.00 exta into his pocket. My guess is he’s not only booking 2 days a month. Not that hard to make it work for him.

I have heard some weekends he is running 6-8 guide bears

Id rather go to the game if it was my sisters wedding

I have done this for the past few years and as others have said, there is no way I would go back to buying store bought beef. Yes, the upfront costs is higher, but in the end for the quality standpoint it is a no brainer. One has to look at the price per pound, sure the burger might be a few cents more, but your also getting your roasts, t-bones, and ribeyes for far less than what you pay in a store

Most diesel is not blended anymore. Most diesel uses a chemical additive to stop jelling. In severe cold climates (Canada, Alaska, very north US States) additive and #1 is used to stop jelling.

What? I would have farmers and truckers screaming at me if I didnt have straight #1 fuel and at least a 50/50 mix in our tanks at the COOP. This is in central MN and NE SD. Maybe its different down there. Unless things have changed in the last 5 years since I have done this
