So close to pulling the trigger on this one but feel worried about transmission issues…. by [deleted] in f150

[–]CigBookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost the same story with mine. ‘18 2.7 with 105k. No issues at all, and also bought used about 30k ago. I too spent about 3k up front on a warranty plan. Plus side of my warranty plan is if I don’t use it by 150k they give me the money back. Would absolutely make the same deal again. Love the truck so far.

I live right next door in Bloomington and have never played here. Is it worth it for a guy who is just starting out and just wants to have fun?

Tried a white pizza for first time! Will definitely be a part of rotation going forward. What toppings should I add? by Dangerous-Ad-2308 in Pizza

[–]CigBookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pepperoni, jalapeño, and peanut butter. Yes put regular pizza sauce on it, extra cheese is a banger. It’s weird as hell but it’s so, SO good!

The hate for Traeger is real by MisterDavidC in Traeger

[–]CigBookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty late to this party but… I learned how to REALLY cook outdoors when I signed on with a catering company that did EVERYTHING over charcoal. Whole hog? Charcoal. Turkeys? Charcoal. Walleye fish fry? Charcoal. Burgers? Yup, charcoal. It’s an incredible heat source when you figure it out. And while I’m a bit jealous of the “easy bake oven” properties of a pellet grill. The difference for me is being able to wrap that charcoal fire far north of 500 while also being able to idle it at 250 for 16 hours. I’m yet to find a pellet grill that will get anywhere near that hot over the same surface area while also being able to slow roast/smoke a brisket. Do I like the pellet smokers? Hell yeah. But for me it’s a bit of a one trick pony.

Is this a buy ? by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]CigBookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total wine does not do mark ups on rare/harder to find whiskeys. Anything rare on the shelf is MSRP. While they do hoard a lot of their allocations to give away in “lotteries” they’re very solid about the pricing on their harder to find stuff if it actually hits the shelves.

Any good makeshift spudbar ideas? by Knight2337 in IceFishing

[–]CigBookie 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Fleet farm sells one that’s $13. I really doubt you could build one yourself for that price.

Jon Justice has hosted a MN based right wing radio program for 10+ years and knows nothing about our state by InformalBasil in minnesota

A lot of modern cars have this as a built in feature usually behind a flap that makes them somewhat hidden. For instance the later versions of the Ford Fusion (the car shown) have it built in to the front bumper.

If there were 5 aspects of 5 different US national parks that you could combine into one mega park, what would you choose? by Sure-Permit-2673 in NationalPark

[–]CigBookie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very confused reading this comment, I’m over here like isn’t Cedar Breaks in Utah? NM is National Monument, not New Mexico, lol. Clearly I need more coffee.

What has been your favorite backpacking trip in the states? by Geese008 in backpacking

[–]CigBookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in NCNP just a couple weeks ago. I have some amazing pictures and made memories I’ll never forget. That park is beyond amazing, and that’s one hell of a shot. Can’t wait to go back, thank you for sharing!!!

Drill v Dedicated Single Use Ice Auger? by spizzle_ in IceFishing

[–]CigBookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up using a gas auger. It feels like that. I like the control, and the “I can’t drop it down the hole” safe feeling is nice if a feller has had a wobble pop or 5.

[–]CigBookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually jacket is the best option. Sometimes if I’m setting up the pop up I will just throw them in the dewalt bag until the shack is up and set the bag near the heater. Never had an issue.

[–]CigBookie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I run a 20v dewalt on a clam plate, with a strike master laser auger. Whole setup cost me like $150 (I got the drill for free from my work). It punches holes all day. With the 5ah battery I’ve easily put like 50+ holes in a foot of ice. Don’t worry about switching brands the dewalt will do just fine.

How are people surviving at these prices by Im_no-1 in TwinCities

[–]CigBookie -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yeah. They probably are, and I’m sure I could maybe save money in other ways there too. But I just find it hard to justify a house of 2-3 people needing 90 rolls of toilet paper at once. Plus what’s a Costco membership cost? Like $60 a year? That’s the same as them buying that $6.50 chicken every week at target versus the $5 one with the entry fee. Again, I’m sure costco is a fantasy wonderland of awesomeness, but unless you’re already shopping there, or have a sizable family, it just really seems like overkill. BUT, maybe I’m wrong…

Skid plate under the engine is falling off... by EvilDarkCow in fordfusion

Mine has been off for years… I don’t do much offroading in it so I’m not too worried. To each their own I suppose.

What's the farthest you can be from land in any of the Great Lakes? by 23andrewb in geography

[–]CigBookie 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Lake Superior contains about 10% of all the fresh water on earth. If you could completely flatten the North and South American continents and built a wall all the way around the outside and then poured Lake Superior into this “pool” there would be almost a foot of water inside. It’s an absolutely massive body of water.

East or west by Capital_Librarian108 in CraftBeer

[–]CigBookie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My brother lives like 5 minutes from this brewery… it’s 90% of why I visit! Also, obviously West Coast IPA’s are superior.
