Same by me until I cross into Eau Claire county, then the roads ALL suck. But that is a county expense.

Well, that is the opposite of what I was told prior to the downturn by a small community bank president. He stated the regulators told him to increase minority lending or his bank would be audited. The enormous expense of that would have forced them out of business, so they changed the...

We have seen what OVERREGULATION spawns... It forces banks to change their rules so that unqualified borrowers are suddenly qualified. They cannot just change the rules for minorities, so you get the housing bubble due to overregulation. Then when the unqualified don't pay the bubble pops. The...

It is none of the gov'ts business determining who needs what. NEED IS IRRELEVANT. At least I can keep MY money for the next 7 years.

Yes Buffet owns a railroad, not sue which one. That is why he was against the pipeline, he transports oil.

I wrote up a list this year so I can plan it better than just doing what comes to mind at the moment. The list is at the cabin so this is from memory. 300 black spruce 100 tamarack 250 hybrid poplar into my ash stands that I will be hinge cutting.(hoping to get new cover in there before EAB...

You will still get the reduced rates for your bracket, but you will lose the child tax credit. But you would have lost that prior to the change anyway.

I never had satellite and haven't had cable for 25+ years. I just bought a new tv for the cabin. I have a rooftop antenna, and I get 25 local channels. I can use my phone as a hotspot to get youtube and netflix, but I keep going over my data limit. I am thinking of going with an unlimited data...

Have you tried the bucky sticks of hybrid poplar they sell? I am curious as to survival. The price is right at $50 per 100 sticks if they grow. Paint Creek seems to have the best price on tamarack at .70ea for 100+ trees. northstar is 170.00 vs 70.00. They are 1yr trees vs 2yr old at Paint Creek.

Sounds good, thanks. I bought norway's from them in the past and was very satisfied with price and quality. Their price is much better than wallace (.70 vs 1.17/tree)

Does anybody have a suggestion on where to get tamarack seedlings? DNR does not have them for next year. I wish to add some along with the black spruce in my swamp. Tracking a buck I shot last month took me thru a tamarack patch and it was full of buck sign,( rubs and beds).

Ha... as soon as I grab a tool my lab heads for the cabin. I guess he is bored watching me work.

I would be interested in what habitat work you did for bear.

sounds great, thanks John

Was up last weekend. Missed a bear (damn) shot over the top of him. Sorry, no pics, but the MG rhyzomes are coming in good. We'll see if they survive winter. After having the tags mowed last winter there is a bunch of 3ft growth, but no buck pics this year. I hope this is temporary and they come...
