I enjoyed the same laugh as Bobb-o. I actually considered a forestry job in SD.

Good Luck with the interview. I actually don't own any commercial publications for disease identification. All of my literature comes from the company I worked for. I have yet to find a good book for tree disorders.

I really like the Scotts book for lawns, but I'll let you know if I find something worth mentioning.

My boss for St. Paukl had some really good books from his days at the U og M i will check with him to see what the title is, otherwise, i might be able to get you a copy of the Minnesota Tree Inspector's field manual if you would like. The manual isnt very in depth but it does have the basics for a lot of the more common diseases.

Here's a research project for you.

I have in my home office several front pages from the newspaper where I worked in Iowa. On Monday, July 23, 1934, the banner across the top of the paper read, "DILLINGER KILLED BY U.S. MEN."

Down toward the middle of the page is a story:

Headline: "To Start Work on Huge Forest 100 Miles Wide"

WASHINGTON, July 31 (AP) — Secretary Wallace announced today that work would begin immediately on a $75,000,000 project to plant a forest shelter belt 100 miles wide extending from the Canadian border to Texas.

President Roosevelt, in an executive order signed July 11 and released today, allocated $15,000,000 of emergency funds to begin work.

The shelter belt, which will extend more than 1,000 miles through North Dakota, South Dakota ...

and that's where my page runs out.

I've looked at that story on such an eventful day and wondered what happened to the project because I know that there's no such forest.

Of course, that was in the peak of the Dust Bowl.

The 1930s must have been some time. Today's all-time record high in St. Cloud was 106º in 1931. The real business wasn't until 1934.

Boxcar, got your message a few days ago. Congratulations! Sorry I haven't called you back, I will try to do it in the next few days, provided I'm not out hunting grouse or getting the deer stands put out.

    • 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.
    • 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
