Livescope really solidified point 10 for me. Water amplifies noise and it can have serious impacts on fish.
When you see a school coming in and then someone makes a crunch on the ice you realize this. The fish will scatter and likely not come back.
Early season when the ice is thin, the fish are shallow, and there isn’t much snow cover the key to catching fish is eliminating noise.
This place gives you a freezer if you buy a whole or half. Gotta be in the NE but that’s a good way to get past the “I don’t have freezer space” objection.
Red meat is bad for you. I’d suggest the following as an alternative:
If you buy a quarter it can be cut in perfect cubes so it fits in your freezer. This would work well for Gimruis.
All them drones need gas. Simple supply and demand.
ESPN said he has earned $294 million in his career. That’s not the value of his contracts, that’s his earning. The guy is brilliant at maximizing his value.
He’ll end up somewhere next year…probably in the same position starting ahead of a rookie til they are ready.
Matt, you considering trades? I have a stick I’m thinking about parting with. If so, what else would you be willing to add in. As much as I would like air conditioning in my pole barn, these sticks are a valuable commodity. Besides air conditioning, I need a newer 21’ walleyes rig.
Just a few of the valuable uses:
Baseball bat
Hockey sticks
Fly rod
Fishing pole
Walking stick/ cane
Weapon of mass destruction
Poker
Depth gauge
Object retrieving
Attitude adjuster
Hammer
And the list goes on and on
Is it a hard wood?
Do either of the fans have reverse?
Yes, both have manual reverse. You simply pick them up and rotate them 180 degrees.
It looked to me like Da Bears did the smart thing and didn’t play a particularly intense physical or competitive game against the Vikes. Well done Bears, now go out and shock the world next week.
Or, they got outplayed and out coached by a superior team.
I have a fan that’s on a stand, it also has speeds 1,2,3 and it oscillates. The fan was in great working order until my kid bulldozed me through the fan on to the bed and now 1,2, nor 3 do anything. I would offer a straight trade. No cash either way. It was a great fan until the incident with my son, now it makes a great room ornament.
Could you weld one of my fans to the stand?
Well, I can’t post the pic right now. You’ll have to believe me.

Maybe the West Coast drones will rise up against the East Coast drones and put them in their place.
Like Biggie versus Tupac. Westside for life.
I’m not saying you should shoot em but someone has to try.
How did they get an air tag on one?
I can’t believe someone hasn’t taken a crack at these with a rifle. Reports are they are about 6’ wide with some flying lower than 1000’. I know it’s the east coast but someone has to try it. Some seem pretty rural so you wouldn’t drop it on your neighbors lawn.
“Ma, hold my beer. I’m going to get the Savage.”
I don’t know anything about sheds…I’m a city slicker. But, my $.02 about the idea of “investment” when building something you want. We just did a massive renovation and feedback from everyone was “you’ll never get the money back.”
Well, I don’t give a crap about the money. We will be in this house another 10 years and I get immense use and enjoyment out of what we did on the renovation. That’s value in my book. My point being, there is a lot of value out side of the dollars and cents.
How much enjoyment would you get out of your batting cage with your daughter before she leaves for college? That would be a priceless investment to me.
If you get half your money back at some point in the future, can enjoy it the shed now, and it’s financially feasible, I’d build it in a heartbeat.
Pretty sad when you watch the video. Favre’s statement he released on the incident hit the nail on the head though.
Gastinaeu played in an era where guys didn’t create generational wealth so on the field accomplishments meant a lot more. You can see how much that record meant to him and how it defined his career.
This is one of the reasons I’ve stayed away from lithium for my Reata. It’s out in the cold almost year round and pulling the batteries from the front is an absolute chore.
This is why Vikes fans can’t have nice things…
You’re right, Werm. I can only think in 3 dimensions cuz I’m a total rube.
I’ll defer all future NFL strategy discussions to BP.
Wait you have a heated garage, What’s that like?
My car barely cranked over this morning. -11 on the dash
My only complaint about living in the city is a detached garage that was built in 1938. It’s not feasible to insulate and heat it…I get very jealous when I go to my friend’s places in the suburbs with attached, heated garages.
That analysis makes absolutely no sense. They need to rest starters this week to try and win the next? Why can’t they try and win both weeks?
The only thing the Bears are playing for is pride and to impact other teams seasons. I’ll bet the Bears would love to beat the Vikes and Lions and see neither get the 1 seed. I don’t think they win either game but to hypothesize they aren’t going to try is absurd.
I don’t know Naples guides but January can be a bit tough. The colder water turns the fish off a bit but your strategy of fishing inshore is a better bet. The offshore bite can be really tough.
My guess is you’ll be chasing trout, jacks, snapper, snook, and maybe redfish that time of year. So, worst case you get a really good meal.
I’d also pack a rod if you can. I usually bring a medium weight spinning setup and buy Gulp shrimp. The shore fishing around bridges and piers can be really good.
Good luck!
I’d agree with others…seems like you need to go back to the drawing board.
Make a list of all the things you “must” have in a boat and the things you’d like to have. You’ll figure out where to start the search and narrow it down.
These boats are very different and both potentially flawed. The etec is an issue as is the transom potentially. On a 17yo boat there could also be alot of minor issues you’ll need to address. I’d keep looking.
Just came off the lake after a couple days of fishing. We were up on the north end and fishing seemed to be good for everyone.
Ice was pretty good…I’d have been a little nervous on a SxS because we found a few spots of 5” ice but most was 8”. Hopefully the real cold weather this week adds some ice.
I think i read somewhere Cousins doesn’t use an agent, represents himself. Must be that MSU degree.
He’s made almost $300 million in guaranteed money in his career. That means he’s pocketed somewhere between $20-30 million in fees to an agent.
Seems pretty smart to me…he has probably maximized his value more than any other player in NFL history.
From my experience if you get a decent water softener there isn’t a lot to go wrong with them. Heck even a cheap one if something goes wrong just disconnect it and slap a new one in place. They all come with a bypass valve to.
This was my original thought but once I started looking at them with chlorine filters that kinda shot that idea out of the water.
Losing my mind a bit …
Renting is typically one of the most expensive ways to have a water softener especially if you plan on having it for a long time. I see customers renting them for 15-20 years and Culligen has done nothing to them but cash the check.
$45 a month for 10 years is $5400.
It’s $4500 but I get your point. We plan on being in this house 5-7 more years so renting makes sense. If things changes, I can buy it out.
It’s a good business model for Culligan but not having to outlay cash upfront outweighs that for me.
Just had culligan out….$45 a month for a high efficiency softener with the chlorine filter seems like a pretty good option at this point.
At $200 for them to install there is no reason for me to do one myself. First year of salt is free, too.
The break even on the rental is 6-7 years and I can purchase it with rental credit at anytime.
I think I just sold myself.
It’s a showstopper for my wife and daughter. It’s not only because it keeps your skin better in the winter but it helps with long hair. The hard water makes their hair really snarly so we need it.
I’ve got some calls to make. I’ll probably install myself because everything is plumbed already but I didn’t consider all the variables like Mike W pointed out.
