Dear Savvy Senior, Because of back pain and knee arthritis I’m interested in getting a power lift recliner for my living room that’s easy for me to get into and out of. Does Medicare cover them? Can’t Get Up Dear Can’t, Yes, Medicare does indeed provide some coverage for lift chairs, provided your doctor prescribes it for a medical reason, but they won’t cover the entire cost of the chair. Medicare will only pay for the motorized lifting mechanism, which is considered durable medical equipment...

I put the final turn of my whip finish on the black thread of the small jig, and closely trimmed the hackle wound behind the silver-plated lead of the lure destined for a small tacklebox on my desk. It would be a gift for a close family friend; a young angler who lamented that he had yet to catch a trout in all of his fishing adventures, despite having a water not 10 miles from his house that each spring is loaded with hungry browns that by the dozens had fallen for the same pattern at my...
Outdoor notes: *Ice is never completely safe. Avoid areas with vegetation, moving water, pressure ridges, and springs. Check conditions as you go along on the ice and don’t move around at night. *Remember to keep fish caught in 25 feet and deeper; they rarely survive coming up from deep depths. *March 15: Ice houses must be removed from all state lakes and rivers but can be used if they’re removed daily. *March 23: Elk, moose, and bighorn sheep application deadline. Fishing: *Devils Lake ele...

From handling the tasks at hand on the hardwood of the desk to dealing with in-the-moment upgrades and field surgery in the boat or on shore, there are tools I hate to be...
