        Sign Keenum for 4 years 64 million. Use the money on a right tackle or guard, and resign the linebackers. It’s all about drafting well, and they hit gold with Cook and Elflein this year. Another draft like that and we will be tough to stop. Say what you will about Speilmans first round success, but the guy is a great talent evaluator, and I trust he’ll put us in a consistently good spot to compete.

          Have you noticed the fishing for panfish being poor during warm weather? Kinda funny every year I forget about it and get all amped up for a warm weekend after fishing has been good, and it seems like without fail the bite goes completely dead. Any ideas on why?

            I had a similar problem when I switched phones, but found if I searched for boating usa in the Google play store, it showed o already had purchased, and I could do overlays etc. In avionics plus, I couldn’t do overlays. I didn’t have to buy anything new.

              I’m pretty stoked for it, just got back from watching the Bison take home another championship, now get to watch the Vikes get to work on winning their first!

                Well I personally almost exclusively fish during the week for that reason. You might need to use vacation to do it, but if you only go out once a year on the spot and already have an figured out that’s what I’d do.

                  I’ve had a vesilar suit and an ice armor grey suit. They both keep you warm, both of them had the arm pits tear out reaching for stuff. What do you guys know about floating gear? Thinking about getting some floating bibs at least. No idea where to start.

                    We’re building a house on McDonald lake this fall/winter, so I’m excited to do a lot of exploring with the kids locally, it should be a really fun time getting to know the lakes in the area.

                      When I was a kid growing up on the red, we’d go down, dig up a worm, fish in a culvert for about a minute and catcheck a goldeye, then cut it into chunks and have catfish bait for the rest of the day, glad it still works!!

                        Caught some fish north of 4 mile in 22 fow yesterday. Lots of dunks but we sorted through plenty to have a good fish fry last night. It seems like we may be dodging a bullet on the wind today, forecast keeps showing it getting tamer and tamer this afternoon. Should be a fun day!

                          Anyone been out?? I can’t seem to find a report anywhere! Just got to baudette, blowing like a banshee, hopefully we can catch a few in 4 mile because I don’t think we will venture too far from there in the waves.

                            Anybody out fishing this last weekend? We are heading up on Thursday wondering what the bite is like on the south end of the lake and how the river flow is if anyone has any updated information. Thanks for the help!

                              I had a coworker go up to fish steel head and hooked a dandy. Fought it all the way up to the bank where his friend was waiting with the net, line hooks on a rock and breaks. The friend starts scooping the fish with the net from the 2 inches of water it was laying in with the hook in its mouth. He said some guy up on a bridge started screaming at him about snagging this fish and how he gives fisherman and bad name. He and his buddy just took the hook out and let the fish go without a picture or anything- did they do anything wrong? He was really shocked about the whole thing!

                                Photos of components attached – the regulators are rated by btu’s I believe, just depends on what your heater is.

                                The valve is shown in the control box along with the aquastat. The aquastat is the skinny grey box, there’s a temp probe that sticks out the back of it that’s drilled through the wall into the space that’s being heated.

                                The picture of the burner shows the pilot and thermopile sitting right above it as well.

                                You’ll need all of these components to safely run a heater in a space on a thermostat. For what it would take to track all of these down and purchase, I think you could probably get a nice empire direct vent heater on craigslist, but it’s an option.

                                  How about places where there are just a few camp sites without any services, anyone know how to find those? It’s always touch and go when you show up and someone’s already set up there, but man the big campgrounds are ridiculous. Drive out into nature in order to jam 8000 people into a 5 acre site with pavement roads………..
