I use a soft side tackle box with the flat Plano boxes removed. I then cut rain gutter downspout to the appropriate height pieces and hang my baits vertically in there. Once your collection expands you can use more than one bag ie: bulldogs and similar in one, spinnerbaits/cowgirls in another. Never have had baits tangle and is a lot less expensive than buying premade boxes…..more to spend on baits.
I live in Brooklyn Park on the Maple Grove border. We use Curbside waste. Their prices are on the lower side compared to some of the other competitors and we have had good luck with their customer service when needed. One time we forgot to put out our can and called and asked if we could put an extra bag on the side the following week and they obliged without charging us extra despite it was my fault i didn’t put the can at the curb in my rush to get to work.
I was just by Minnetonka earlier today for work and there are areas that have open water along shore, but navigating much would be pretty tough. By next weekend with the weather coming up I personally thing it will be looking better.
Thank you everyone for your replies. I will definitely put in on the list of possibilities as i start looking and hopefully upgrading soon.
We had good luck today with small tackle, 1-2 pound test mono (for panfish) and very aggressive jigging. Getting more of the reaction bite rather than the active feeding bite.
Yup….that will be on the shopping list when I win the lottery.
Ugh….century link. I prefer to call them century suck. I have had nothing but issues with them and am switching to comcast. I only use their internet as I have no need for cable TV.
I didn’t even think of doing it online. I should have my number. I still have my license from last year so I would assume it is on there. Although it would give me an excuse to go check out Joe’s as well. Have been intending to check out that store. Thanks Guys.

Are you opposed to drilling 4 holes @ 1/4″ each? Scotty bases with through bolts mounted just below the gunnel rail on the inside. Stainless pan head bolts would look fine IMHO. Scotty Bases
This is exactly what i did with mine and it works great. I have a smaller mid 70’s 14 foot Alumacraft

That’s a good one, but here is an even nicer one.
caught on a double cowgirl? 
mmmmm…..ribs. I could go for some of that action.
Found a PDF document. It is called Red Sore Disease. It is a generic term used to define several causes.
Source: University of Florida.
found a site that shows the current flow from the MNDOT website. There are also signs posted saying which way has less travel time.
I was on that stretch last Thursday and unfortunately it was still down to one lane each way. It looked to me like they were getting closer to done, but it is scheduled for until mid Oct.
It is nice to own because you can go to your local home improvement store of your choice and spend your vacation installing a patio…..oh yeah…..that’s what i am doing next week. 
Home ownership=vacation time to work harder at home than at work.
Congrats on securing home financing and good luck in your search. A lot of houses out there on the market.
Well….that would be enough to make me scream like a little girl.
Scotty for me. I have never had one problem with them and don’t anticipate any either. Don’t break the bank either.

cell phone range Click on the links with in the link to get an idea. I found it rather informative.
Another route is if you have a smart phone use a wireless router on the pc and use the wi-fi service. I am not sure if all carriers offer this but T’mobile did when I had a Blackberry.
I have T-Mobile and an android phone. The WiFi calling does work quite well. At work i sometimes have crummy service, but on the WiFi it works great.
A lighter wallet and no better reception. These “add on devices” are kinda like adding a performance parts sticker to your truck. Doesn’t help one bit.
This sounds verbatim to what my 98 GMC Sierra did when my left bank gasket went. This was a caused by a terrible gasket design by GM. I’m not sure if they fixed that issue by the 2001 model year, but there is an aftermarket gasket that is a vast improvement in performance (I don’t mean like racing stripes adding 30 hp to a cavalier 
). If my memory serves me correctly, it is a Felpro brand gasket. It has a metal layer added for extra durability. It is doable yourself with a lil patience and having proper torque information. The cost of the repair is mostly labor if you bring it in. All depends on your mechanics knowledge/comfort. Letting it go too long can cause engine corrosion, total gasket failure…which means coolant everywhere, engine overheating, and you stuck on the side of the road in freezing temps looking at a big green/pink puddle.

Congratulations to your family!
Might want to start clearing out an area now for the fishing equipment.
I already have a little jig box for him and will get it started when he gets a lil bigger….he’ll get the hook up

Way to go Frank!!!
Fish King kept me up to date with the play by play as it was happening. Very nice.
I’m already starting the design of the new “fish coop”, hafta make room for the new guy.
Congrats, take care, see you on the 14th.Slab
He is already got his hands going looking for his jigging stick 
one more….mommy holding Matthew Gabriel.
Wish I coulda came, but had a little higher priority Saturday. Sounds just like last time we were out.
Nicely done….nice haul
I have used the 1″ minnows, white waxies with the most success. The heads I have used some, with a lil success, but have used only limited number of times
We have had both and have now cut out any provider. 
I have a pc with a tuner card and an antenna connected to that. Also installed a HD video card so I have all the channels in HD if broadcasted in HD. With Windows 7, comes windows media center so we have the onscreen guide and dvr all for the price of free. I still get my outdoor programming by streaming it via websites and all on the 52″ tv. Can’t beat that for monthly tv charges.
I work in IT and can’t believe I didn’t think of that. One thing that can really help as well, especially if you live in an area where power surges/inconsistencies are frequent a ups used with your modem and router can make a world of difference. Helps regulate power and keep it consistent and not just protect your pc in the case of power surges/pages.
Thanksgiving morning my wife and I woke up and were getting our stuff together for the journey up nort to my aunts house. Well….we were short the cookies because the dogs got into the sweet “dog biscuits”
Hard to get mad….i would do the same thing.
