Happy Veterans Day to all who served, especially those who served with me in Vietnam. I was an Army helicopter pilot and would do it all over again. Our duty was to do everything we could to help our 11 Bravo infantrymen (the grunts) who were our heroes. Everyone who served had a job to do and we all did it well.

Mine is 2015 Silverado 2500 HD Duramax with Allison 6 speed tranny.
May 17, 2024 at 3:43 pm #2273001I had the same issue and the transmission oil change referred to by Yooper2 took care of the issue. No problems after that.
April 20, 2024 at 10:33 am #2268410Did you check your circuit breaker? Sounds like a low battery since lights are 12V and maybe furnace is operating off 12V also if it isn’t getting AC current.

April 1, 2024 at 1:28 pm #2264673Thanks Andy. We did call the DNR on Saturday and left a voicemail. They called us back today and gave us the date.
March 30, 2024 at 2:06 pm #2264434Montana application-the application calls for the date your hunter safety card was issued. My son’s MN card only has his birthdate on it. Montana says the date is mandatory. What have others done? Thank you!
March 29, 2024 at 6:57 pm #2264314Thank you for the post Dan. Welcome home to my Brothers and Sisters! I served in the First Cav as a UH-1 helicopter pilot in 1970-71 at Bien Hoa Army Base. It was very rewarding supporting my heroes, the grunts. We always did our best to get them where they needed to go and get them resupplied. Sometimes we delivered hot food, sodas, ice and even ice cream. Thanksgiving and Christmas were very special days delivering hot food to those on patrol wherever possible. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

November 9, 2023 at 7:07 pm #2234963Gunsmith Arms just north of Hastings does consignment sales at a lower charge than Bill’s. Jimmy lists on Gunbroker and Armslist. He charges 15 percent or a minimum of $50.
June 19, 2023 at 9:02 pm #2209015Be sure you are fishing on the WI side of the river if you are using sunfish as gamefish are not legal bait in MN waters.
March 29, 2023 at 12:10 pm #2191919Thank you for remembering us. We were very young and we did our best to serve our country.

February 9, 2023 at 4:07 pm #2180493Their website shows a video how to do it. Sometimes doing a little research is good.
November 2, 2022 at 5:54 pm #2156688To clarify, in WI the blaze orange requirement only applies to public lands.
July 31, 2022 at 11:54 am #2138576When in doubt, consult the US Coast Guard Regulations. Their navigation regs for Western Rivers, including the Mississippi and its tributaries, Part B, I, Rule 9-Narrow Channels, (c) A vessel engaged in fishing shall not impede the passage of any other vessel navigating within a narrow channel or fairway. This section also addresses other conflicts in narrow channels, but is very specific about fishing boats.
June 25, 2022 at 7:32 pm #2131841Chuck, the Mississippi at La Crosse is just over 6 feet. I’d say over the last 5 years it’s been around 5-6 during most of the summer. So it’s running a little faster than normal if anything. You shouldn’t have any trouble at all. Good luck!
May 30, 2022 at 12:02 pm #2127320Thanks for posting this Sharon. Far too many forget the meaning of this special day. Thank you to all those that gave their lives to protect our freedom. You are remembered.

March 28, 2022 at 7:37 pm #2111609Thank you for your kind words. If you please, the next time you meet a Vietnam Veteran, say simply “Welcome Home”.
We didn’t hear that when we did come home. It might be the first time they ever heard it.
Thank you.Welcome Home Brothers and Sisters!
March 28, 2022 at 12:32 pm #2111470In over 25 years of fishing there, I have found that what is happening on the Mississippi River in the St. Louis area has a great impact on Leech Lake’s water level. If they need more water down there, more water is released from Leech and that can lead to low water levels during the summer even though the year started at a decent level. It looks like the Leech area still has a 15″ snow depth, so the year should start pretty well.
March 14, 2022 at 1:32 pm #2107650I don’t know if you’re a hunter or not, but the monovision drove me nuts. Looking around a tree one way was ok, but if you looked around the tree the other way it was out of focus! That caused me to get rid of them.
February 27, 2022 at 3:17 pm #2103622My experience with a Barrett bolt-action .50 BMG is that it really is a push back instead of a kick. I’d rather shoot that than a big game rifle that really has a heck of a kick. I believe it’s a slower burning powder in a .50 BMG that results in a push rather than a kick.
February 23, 2022 at 12:43 pm #2102398Like I said, read the regulations. You follow the rules of the state whose waters you are fishing in. If you are fishing on the MN side, you follow MN rules. If you are fishing on the WI side you follow the WI rules. Carry the regulation book with you or download it to your phone and you can show it to anyone who challenges you. We have too many sportsmen who don’t read the regulations. Enough said.
February 21, 2022 at 10:29 am #2101493If you read the fishing regulations, you’ll find if you’re fishing boundary waters you need to have the license of the state you reside in. If a Minnesota resident, you need a Minnesota license. You don’t need a Wisconsin license if you’re fishing on that side, but be sure to read the regulations to see the details.
February 13, 2022 at 7:42 pm #2099277I recommend everyone do their own research. Dakota Lithium are LiFePO4. Obviously they have done research on this also.
February 13, 2022 at 1:58 pm #2099208LiFEPO4 is the better choice as Don stated above. I use them for ice fishing and amateur radio.
February 6, 2022 at 5:35 pm #2097193Midway USA has six different loads of factory ammo available on their website.
February 6, 2022 at 1:51 pm #2097131The livescope specs state that a minimum of 11 volts input power is needed.
February 1, 2022 at 3:38 pm #2095613How about a normal shed? It’s something you’ll need anyway as you develop your land. Just make sure you make it larger than what you think you’ll need.
