As many of you know, there was a memorial dinner for my late sister Wendy. Thought some of you would like to see the words spoken of her. http://theiowarepublican.com/2013/thoughts-tidbits-and-videos-from-story-countys-wendy-jensen-memorial-chili-dinner/

This is a very belated thank you for all of your kind words. I also wanted to brag a bit about my sister. About a month ago my parents received a call from the Republican Party of Iowa informing them of a Republican fund raiser on Sept. 30th. They chose to have this fund raiser in my home...

Sorry, life has gotten in the way again and I have not checked back in lately. Thank you all for the input, great bunch of people here. Rick thank you for the generous offer, and Iwill reciprocate with an offer to do some upland hunting behind some great pointing dogs.

I have always been an upland hunter, but I would like to start duck hunting. I built my first duck boat a couple years ago but have not spilled blood on it. Is there anybody that would be willing to help and show me the ropes. Wis boz, please greet the Vierthallers for me. Great people that...

Sorry Mike, I meant it as a joke. The Goose Island location is where us guys from the tristate area have an annual gathering. But I would still be interested in coming up north to see the guys up there. Yaa heeey dare

i would love to be there. How about Goose Island just south of Lacrosse? :) Seriously, I would be interested,, will be waiting for the where, and when.

Thanks for the info guys. This is what I had thought but did not want to get carried away with prying them off and find that they are threaded on. Not sure if I want to drop the money on bearing buddies, as I hope to replace the trailer next year. I want to remove the wheels and clean and...

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. Life is always getting in the way. I have a question on bearings for my trailer. The wheels are not held on by lug nuts, so I am assuming that there is a nut on the shaft underneith the hub cover. Problem I have is I can't get the covers off. I...

This winter I am considering storing my boat under the front deck of our house. This is rural so there are mice. Anybody have any suggestions on how to keep the mice from setting up shop? In the past I have tried moth balls, I have tried Vicks vapor rub, with mediocre success. Anybody have any...

I have been a wood turner for a number of years and would like to try my hand with game calls. Can anybody recommend a good source for parts? Thanks Gary

I finished my DHII build this past spring. I have had it out a few times fishing and I love the boat. Have not had first duck blood yet but soooon. The hard chine construction did not seem that difficult although I did take additional time to mentally evaluate each step. Thought about the...

Never much cared for the Jimmy Hendrix version of the Star Spangled Banner, but this version I kinda like. http://www.starspangledbannerchallenge.com/

Think that I may go squirrel hunting with my new 17hm2. Or work on the Wisconsin feral cat problem, one trigger pull at a time:)

We have a 4 year old Pointer that tore his cruciate tendon yesterday, and we are not sure which direction to go with his health care. As some of you know I had a GSP (German Shorthair pointer) that blew out both of his knees at about the same time. We did put him down because of the extreme...

Here is some info for anybody that is interested in a fun day. Think I will show up with my German Shorthair and show those lab and chessie guys how to do it:) http://www.couleeregionhdc.com/index.html
