- Bought some lag screws so I can assemble my tractor attachment rack.
- Bought some 1/4" rope for my sister flag pole. Existing rope is not going to make it thru another NE winter... Don't want to get up and find the flag on the ground.

Well I had to get a new grease gun hose and swivel. I had put my boom mower on and was greasing it when the hose let go at the swivel. It's on a Milwaukee M18 and it was stalling out on a fitting when it let go. Had to revert back to the old hand pump gun. A lot of fittings on this mower.

Just bought a 5 year, Sportsman Gold hunting/fishing licenses. Normally $500, was $275, with hard card, and I went ahead and rounded up for youth hunting programs.

A long time ago I bought an Indiana comprehensive lifetime fishing license. It paid for itself after about 17-18 years.

Indiana cancelled the program a while back because federal dollars to the state's fish and wildlife programs are based on the number of fishing and hunting licenses sold the previous year. So anyone with a lifetime license purchased previously was not counted and reduced the $$ from the federal government.

Same thing with senior citizens that didn't require a license, or active military, etc...

Now they offer a voluntary license for something like $3 that you can purchase even if you don't require a license so that you get counted towards fed dollars.

Let me get this straight. The state wants you to pay $3 to get counted after buying a lifetime license to fish so they can get more $ because they can't account for the license you already bought? That sounds like govt working at it's best. :LOL: Uhm, no.

They CAN account for the lifetime licenses... the Fed won't let them.

Still ... ridiculous. Govt at it's best. 😖
What part of lifetime license don't they get? Maybe the state needs to change the way they list the lifetime license to an auto renew annual license? Or a prepaid annual license? It just seems absurd that a lifetime license doesn't count in the annual licenses. That's all I'm saying :censored:
