Best smell? My first inhale in the morning when I awake to the smells of a new day and life ... un-describable grin.gif

Although often the first face of the new day is that of my yellow-lab “Bro” as he sticks that cold-nose in my face to wake me up smile.gif

The smell of my new grizzly bear faced, grinning,clowning,golden retriever puppy after losing my old buddy of 14 years. What a cure for the blues!

This a good opportunity to find out what it is that is my favorite smell. What odor is so prevalent in say - May or early June in northern Minnesota? I've noticed it in both the Bemidji and I. Falls areas, in low lying places, but have never known exactly what it is. I don't really know how to describe it but it's definitely a native plant unique to northern Minnesota. Maybe tag alders or some shrub like plant?

a friend of mine tells me he can smell grouse. he said he's not exactly sure if it is the grouse he is smelling, or something they eat in the area, but he says when he smells it he gets ready,because 8 out of 10 times, he jumps a bird. we were out once and he said "smell that?" i couldn't smell anything. he tried to describe it, but with my crooked schnoz no luck. right after that we jumped a bird---???? hmmm

How about the smell of burnt black powder. The smell of the exaust of a racing sled! Or the best smell to have is the smell of fish slime all over your hands because to caught so many fish! (its not a good smell to have but it was sure fun getting it tongue.gif)

Maybe this is just my farmboy roots -

I love the smell of fresh tilled soil in the spring, and the smell of corn drying in the fall. Whenever I get a hint of the smell of a diesel it reminds me of driving my Dad's old John Deere.

I also love the campfire smell from a distance.

How about the smell of fresh cut grass? I just love it. Not only the smell, but it also means that the chores are done and I can go fishin'!
Also... that smell just after a summer rain on warm pavement...... and the smell of fallen leaves on a cool autumn morning.

How about the smell of my yellow lab "Jozie" when she gets back into the duck blind after a clean double retrieve on a crisp frosty morning in late October/early November? That smell is truly unique. wink.gif

Or--How "Jozie" smells after a day of duck hunting when she is curled up in front of the fireplace, slightly damp, and dreaming of the past days events? grin.gif

Great Topic!!!!!!

Later...... Dugan!!!

I don't know what else to call it but I call it Sweet Water. The smell that arises off the tops of large freshwater lakes and rivers, it is sweet and cool, and fresh as ever. It's not there everyday. I don't know how else to describe it but it smells like the freshest air I ever knew. anyone know what I am talking about? another great smell is that of the grain dust in an old grain mill. Not too many will get to smell that anymore, with the passing of the milling era. Great thread.

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
