Like you I have some fletching to do. But I spent most of today going through gear and putting it away. Also took all the batteries out of everything that's getting stored.

Plugged in the Jeep so it will start a little easier in the morning. I got to get to work in the morning cause I'm the one who unlocks the doors and turns on the lights.

I'm doing lots of PT on my shoulder so I can shoot my bow more in the off season than I did last year. I'm also working out like a mad man in hopes of being in better shape for elk season next year than I was this year. Every year it seems to get tougher...

Other than that, I'm drinking beer and watching football!!! smile

I did truck and snowmobile maintenance over the weekend. I had a chance to use a heated shop with a lift and took full advantage of it. Plus I went shopping to use up a couple gift cards from Christmas. That took me to Gander and Cabelas. I don't normally browse / shop much. It's usually get in, find what I want and get out. It was kind of fun seeing a few things I didn't know where on the market. Plus, I even handled some of the many crossbows Cabelas has in stock. wink

I hunted the last weekend of North Dakota 2013 archery. The weather was cold, but the deer movement was excellent. I ended up not filling my tag, but saw lots of deer and several very nice bucks, I just couldn't close the distance this weekend on one that I deemed a shooter. I did manage to stumble upon a couple of freshly dropped 5 point sides off of what appear to be about a 145-150" and 135-140" buck respectively (the bigger of which I had an encounter with over Christmas). As soon as I can, I'll be out looking for the matches!

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
