I dont know where you live but theres a 1048 lakes in my county so its not an opportunity problem to get your moneys worth.

All watercraft reg for the state are the same fees. They increased in 2024. It is based on the length and type of watercraft. The only real difference in watercraft is jet ski or kayak/canoe, or boat. Sail boats are different too when they are a certain size. The sales tax is 6.875% for the state but they have to add local taxes on as well in my town there is a city and a county tax added. You don’t pay sales tax on privately purchased used boats though just dealership.

Yeah 2nd the poke bowls. Sushi is a pita to make at home but a poke bowl is easy. I get the 1$ microwave sticky rice bowls from walmart and mix up some spicy mayo and tuna and crab and the only real problem then is having ripe avacados around. I get little seaweed packs from Amazon that you just put a little sesame oil and rice vinegar in to make the seaweed salad. I have avacados on my list today for this specific reason.

Dumb question, newer boat owner here. I also got my renewal card a few days ago. Is this the year to renew for every boat owner in the state, or is every 3 year period dependent on when the boat is originally registered?

Its a 3 year renewal from when it was renewed if you skip then 3 years starts the next year you do a renewal.

Prices went up last year for watercraft. Anywhere from 100-150%. Kayaks didn’t go up that much. Wait until you do a pontoon or jet ski though you will notice it there for sure.

Mountain Dew Kickstarts. Pretty sure theirs highly addictive drugs in there. Oreo cookies. I have a glass of milk every night before bed, ad oreos became my go to snack because they never go bad.

If Trump takes over Mexico, does that mean we can get the Mexican drugs? I’m pretty sure I can cure the flu with enough low priced pharmaceuticals.

I need to get the shingles vaccine. My little brother had the chicken pox same time as me and now he has shingles problems.

I hear vaccines can make you grow a caudal appendage in your posterior coccyx. Seriously though the flu shot has gotten me sick before. I’m not an anti vaxxer by any means seeing I see untested drug use an indicator of true americanism, but sometimes it gives me cold sweats and a fever for a few hours after the shot. Once I got it at the healthcare facility I worked at and they wouldn’t let me walk 3 blocks home because it got me so sick.

I’ve never heard of a “wet” scope mount. Do you like spit on it and slap it twice before tightening the screws or what?

Every summer up here in lakes country dogs become the number one problem. People come up to the lake and let their dogs run free and are shocked when suddenly they are gone. Last 4th we had 3 dogs sitting in the front yard. It wasn’t until everyone left that we realized the third dog didn’t belong to anybody that was there. We checked a few lost pet pages and found a picture of the lost dog and called. The owner had already left the area and was driving back to the cities. The dog had been loose for two days. They said they were on their way and we informed them that the sheriff would get their first and they could likely pick up there dog from the Humane Society for a small fee.

I dont have a laser on my Security 9 but its one of my go to carry guns.

Make ’em a furbearing species and trap them. If you don’t pelt them out wanton waste. Seems fair to me. 15 years ago during an environmental survey class (the one that you take to actually learn to do animal counts) I said to myself if they make it to SW Ottertail County they have reestablished their home range and should be treated as recovered. They pretty much have done that.

I’ve also heard that some offices still may not have their paper by tomorrow but the ones that do can sell reg.

Word on the street is first thing Tuesday morning renewals should be available.

No paper as of yet this morning.

Think about getting a job where he’s already going to be going to school. He might be able to get a waiver to skip the freshman on campus requirement for some schools. Concrete and Landscaping are good summer jobs, hard work in the sun.

Yeah thats supposed to say 2027 and be green, you just lost a year of reg. As of 1:50 still no 2027 reg.

It must have rained all night in the Ottertail area. Snow was pretty much gone this morning from the yards. Groomed trails not on pavement might have some icy snow. Lakes could be fun with lots of water on top of 10-12″ of ice. Maybe a little less ice by the end of the day.

odd, i went to the DMV in waite park to register and gets tabs for a new 4 wheeler and had no issue the Friday prior to Christmas.

Check your reg dates. They are counting this year as the first year. If you wanted to get 3 full years you would have to wait until the new paper came in.

To err is human. To really screw up, give the state of Minnesota a computer. Remember the DMV fiasco a few years ago?

I don’t remember but my coworkers occasionally cry when they talk about it.

I was wondering when this would finally come up. I am not an expert and my opinion is not that of my employer. That being said when asked what they were supposed to say to the DNR officer when they asked where there reg was I humbly suggest telling them that is a good question and maybe it needs to be answered by the commissioner of the DNR since its been the same way for at least the last four years. The DNR enforcement knows about the delay but I doubt the sheriffs do yet. If by chance your local license center was also sick of telling customers that they could not renew the ATVs or boats they might have contacted the commissioner themselves and gotten a response with an email for customers to contact with concerns about renewals.

Next year the digital license comes on line. Should be very interesting.

If an email comes across saying that renewals are open I will update this thread.

Woah Woah Woah there tswoboda. Links to scholarly articles is one thing, but the use of latitude to determine “Up North”ness is unacceptable.

I kinda like Canon safes. I heard they sell them at Tractor Supply but don’t think I’ve ever seen one there. Maybe start with what you want, fire rating, waterproof rating, opening mechanism.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all that tilapia are being grown in a recirculating system. They eat poop and algae. We were supposed to get a giant hydroponics farm near here that was going to do the whole raise tilapia off the algae byproduct feed plants tilapia poop, etc. They had a bunch of grants out and I haven’t seen anything since. That was about 10 years ago. Some fish would do fine with a closed loop, I don’t think walleye will ever be one of them.

So aren’t walleyes that are closely packed together susceptible to the fungus that gives them those pink tumors? I caught a few of those this past fall and no way would I eat one. I even made sure to sanitize my hands between fish. And recirculating or not it will eventually discharge virus laden water, and boom CWD walleye style. No really sure that any of these farms have been successful but they’ve been talking about it for years.

Generally, a Ned needs to stand up and stay vertical as its being bounced across the bottom. Some Neds are very heavy, 1/4oz is about the smallest I use because I fish rivers. I fish tubes as neds sometimes with a 1/2 ounce football head jig. Little tube fingers sticking up in the air with enough weight that I can roll the jig back and forth with the bait waving vertical above it. That yellow butt looks like a good ned choice.

Most of the flat braids would be impervious to water, they are just stretched plastic fibers.

I kind of like chewing ice off my line keeps me hydrated.

you know people and fish pee in that water right?

They arent allowed to anymore the DNR made it against the law last year. All of our water should now be completely free of all species of pee.

Most of the big box tool stores have “recycling” boxes. They almost never get recycled. I would suggest slipping it into the core deposit battery bin at an auto store. They actually do send their batteries back to suppliers.
