short or no ice season works for me

every day up here in Walker area, many road kills

its mot just the bird names its ridiculous how they ,whoever want to change names of just about everything, because its offensive?

you got it

well I bought a honda CB 160 in my senior year, had it one month, had a close call scared me, sold it. Crashed as a passenger a couple of years later, 1968 Saw many horrific accidents as a first responder. Not for me, so much fun they are but in my mind a big but,

yep 343 Firefighters. As a retired mpls FF, think about it the whole dept in Mpls is 410 or so, it would be like nearly losing the whole force, sad day for all. I was on Lake Bemidji fishing that day, heard a brief report, thinking it was a general aviation plane that hit the towers, didn’t know the details till I got home

down side for me is you still have to lift it in and out of your truck, not happening for me in those larger containers

sorry for the loss of your dog. Our family has had 5 goldens, most Recent one Ranger is 11 frisbee line, all goldens are great, good luck in your search

seems to me a few years ago A motor broke off in a PWT event, because of Big Waves, after that event theuy cancelled days that were to rough

I was a FF in mpls for 27 years, medical emergencies which was the biggest portion of our calls, violence was always more on hot summer nights, Until there are consequences, nothing will change, glad I am out of there, Nice place to live and grow up in my time

my story, as a young guy had a flat tire on my 53 Plymouth, could not get the lug nuts off, tried and tried, bent the wrench, had to call a tow truck, he arrived and found out I had been tightening them all along!. chrysler products in those days had left and right hand lugs with a l or r on the end of the stud, I kind of knew that, but it was so rusty did not see that, Lesson learned

only if you can get the old ones off, dont ask me how I know

semper Fi, remove handle, drill 2 holes, make a yoke of sorts, then your longer rope,

I use 1 or 2 buckets tied off the front cleats, works very well, when not in use, good for storing things, pee bucket, dogs water dish. Cheap, I use the smaller 3.5 gallon gallon size

$1.79 pre buy here in Walker, Mn Lake Gas

My mom was a world class berry picker, me a blueberry eater. This photo was taken in the 50’s, our blueberry patch was just south of highway 2 near Bemidji, un fortunately it was leveled by the big Potlatch plant. Pies, muffins, pancakes, wow great it was

love that 16 foot jon

sure fire is trolling shad raps at night on Cass, many long bars to fish, you will see the lights of the boats. Very clear water makes it difficult in the day

lazy ikes heddon flatfish loaded with nightcrawlers, Brooks reefers, River runts, the original doll fly, prescott spinners, wellers strip on spinners, red and white daredevils, first bass I ever caught on a hula popper, fun memories

FFS is a line in the sand I will not cross, yes I will catch less fish, but enjoy being on the water. They are legal and folks say how the fish scatter when approached, maybe they have always been doing that, just did not have the technology to see. But I do fear FFS on crappies in the winter could be devastating

I use a couple of 3 gallon pails as drift socks, cheap, do double duty for storage, water dish for my dog, pee bucket, get down to about 1.5 depending on conditions

plenty in the shallow bays of Leech Lake

jason mitchell rods, used to market a 14′ trolling rod. not available anymore. wish I had one, used my friends and it was a great alternative for a planer board type presentation

we ate one once 20 years ago, smoked it. Was delicious but I would never do it again, too valuable of a resource, they do not mature till 20 or so years old. Also contaminants, think about it, as old as they get. So much fun to catch

crazy state farm since I was 19, now 76 rates skyrocketing, home owners up $600 this year just a couple of claims in my life. Shopped a bit, found auto homeowners $200 higher! this op homeowners. crazy bad

don’t get caught, illegal, caught many on tonka years ago hauling sand

He also told because of storm chasers ringing your doorbell and telling you all about your roof and siding damage is making a major hit on the claims

have a 185 and love it, almost went to the dark side with a windshield last purchase, but stayed with the tiller, works for me. Yes in cold and wind windshield will rule, but on those kind of days I will just stay on shore. I am a oldtimer

are you kidding?

Rainy River in boat soon?
