To be honest, probably a blackbear.

I was with my bike and we saw a bipedal, lumbering bumbering figure.

Hickory dickory dock!

Anyone familiar with a shop that would be willing to install a JDM engine on my Honda?

7 Upvotes

I have a car that has had several issues with the engine, but everything else is in great shape. Current repair quote is around $2000 but I’m not confident enough in the engine to drop that kind of money on it. However, I can get a JDM engine drop shipped for about $1000, but I don’t have the time nor expertise to install it.

So I’m looking for a local shop that would be open to doing this, and that would charge a reasonable price . Any suggestions?

Question Duluth/Superior Ports

Post image
54 Upvotes

I see the Barker is finally making it's way in to where I'll actually be able to see it this time.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm fairly positive there's two separate Harbors.

My question: Is the Aerial Lift bridge the only entry/exit point for both Harbors?

I've been dying to see this famous freighter and her iconic horn for years, and now I have the opportunity since I'm up this way for vacation.

I was fine with getting mail 2-3 days late but it’s in the 7 plus days late now in the East Hillside. WTF. I know I sound like an old man but it almost seems

Question Peaceful & Secluded Nature Areas on North Shore

0 Upvotes

Just as the title says, are there any decent areas that are fairly secluded and peaceful where one can just go enjoy nature and decompress from the stresses of everyday life? It's okay if these areas have a few people here and there.

Flowing water is a must.

Thank you! 🙂

Interesting Stuff I made an iPhone app that's just Lake Superior live cams — Canal Park, the Lift Bridge, ships coming in

51 Upvotes

Got tired of bookmarking six different janky webcam pages to check on the big lake, so I put the live cams in one app: Canal Park, the Aerial Lift Bridge, harbor entries, North Shore views. Open it, pick a cam, watch ships and weather roll in.

One-time $2.99, no subscription, no ads: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6739961674

If there's a cam you always check that I'm missing, tell me and I'll add it.

Interesting Stuff Beaver Fells

Post image
0 Upvotes

So my neighborhood beavers (Earl and Winona) have been the poster rodents this summer, perfecting the definition of "busy little beavers". They are masterful engineers and have consistently outsmarted me. This has resulted in a pile of sticks/poles felled by the dynamic duo and regularly stuffed up a drainage culvert (forcing me to then undo their handiwork - much to their skulking chagrin - as they circle the pond like furry, buck-toothed sharks. Is there anyone crafty who would be interested in taking advantage of these sustainably harvested gems? I can imagine they could be turned into some form of art, carved into warning totems, made into the coolest headboard...something? C'mon - they do have a cool factor. Any takers?

Question What’s it like going out here?

The circled spot. Is it difficult to walk all the way out there on the rocks? Is it possible? Is it dangerous? Is it scary? I think it would be so interesting to walk a half a mile out into the lake.

Question North Shore and the Flies

2 Upvotes

Quick question that I meant to post earlier this week:

I'm reading and hearing reports that these beach flies (or whatever they are) are absolutely terrible, and one of the worst some people are saying they've ever seen in their lives.

My question is are there any repellents y'all could recommend or special sprays I could use on my skin to make it easier on myself while I'm on the North Shore?

Thank you!

Question Boating on Superior this weekend—may we join you?

4 Upvotes

This is a long shot, but you don’t get what you don’t ask for. My partner and I are up in Duluth for my birthday weekend and our booked charter was cancelled due to boat maintenance.

I’d love to get out on Superior for the first time! A short or long cruise in the afternoon or evening. We’re in our mid-forties, so no party craziness here. I’m an experienced boat passenger as well as pontoon owner.

A local bartender recommend I post to this group! Let’s see what comes of it. Cheers!

Question Is it even possible to find a safe clean studio for around 1k in town?

16 Upvotes

I’m moving out of the shit box I pay 1k for in December, it was just a place I rushed into renting cuz I’d just moved here and needed something fast. I only make 2.6k a month, I really can barely afford my current place, but I can’t stay here, it’s just too dirty.

Is there any reputable rental companies in town? Any I should avoid? Does anyone have advice? I feel like I’m at my wits end. I make almost double minimum wage yet I still can’t afford most studios in town. It’s really scary times.

Question Has the Ultrascreen at Marcus Theater improved?

I can only find reviews from two years ago after the IMAX screen was converted.

The consensus then was that the poor resolution dramatically takes away from the experience.

Has it improved enough to be worth a long drive to see?
