Good Morning!!!!!!

[glenn57]

So Roony I am curious as to what you do for work that they shipped you down to Arkansas?

I'm an undercover boss.

he spies on Dotch!!!!!!!!!!

[Dotch]

I was wondering where all these tacos keep coming from...

Mornin' gang! 32 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-30's. .20" of rain in Bugtussle. Still melting the ice out of the gauge at home. Must've been colder there. At least the clowns spread more crap on the road. 🤡🤡🤡 Some thunder and lightning last nite that caused a temporary power outage so will be resetting clocks, again. Have the last of the webinar series ~ 9-ish so need to get my coffee & BS time in.

  We got a message from Mid-American that the power was out for ~ 1 hour down home too.

hey Dotcharoo......been measuring frost depths lately?????? ground is pretty hard up this way  closer to the north pole!!!!!!!!

When I brought the round bale to the horses whilst the ground was still frozen yesterday morning, I realized that our puddles had disappeared.  I keep it plowed around the yard where I park things so should have more frost there you would think.

[Dotch]

I haven't measured frost myself around the yard since a week ago Monday. It froze hard as a brick again on top over the weekend. Looks like it's kinda freezing & thawing, doing the passive-aggressive thing. We've got a layer of frozen ground on top of thawed ground then more frozen ground. Then it thaws, gets like snot and freezes up again. They haven't updated any frost depth data at the SROC since March 7th. I did notice the water ring around St. Olaf had widened overnite. With all the wind that's not surprising. Found crap all over the yard to pick up, again.  Also talked to a young guy whose father in law was doing some tiling. Frost is definitely not all out.

[Gunner55]

There was no water in our driveway yday when I walked down to get the mail for about the 1st time this month. It has been windy whether it's 20* or 40* the last 2-3 weeks though.

[roony]

Found out my mother had a pretty bad fall. Had to happen while I'm down here. Ill have something to think and pray about on my 14 hour drive home tomorrow.

Mornin Gents,

dicey on the roads this morning freezing drizzel,lite snow over the top,she was a white knuckler after a 4 wheel drift on a clover leaf,careful  is the word for you early morning commuters.

[Jerkbiat]

Wow. Nothing like starting the morning with a dose of arrogance!  Morning boys. 23 here and heading for 38 today I do believe. Seemed to stay fairly cool here yesterday. Warmest I seen was 31. Otherwise just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

P.S. I am a machinist. Because engineers need heroes too! 

[mike89]

mornin all, 27 here and still windy..   might see 38 and no snow today..  got a few things to do today including putting a chicken on the pellet smoker, maybe a veggie too..   have a good day all!!   

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Ya the wind just keeps on blowing.  22 here now.  Looks like 40's next week.  Sure is a slow warm up.  No melting at all on the river.  Think I will start a fire in the garage and putz out there today.  I want to tweak my wood splitter some so maybe I will get that in there. Gonna grill pork chops tonight so that sounds fun.  All is ok Coffee.  Life is good.  You all have a great day.

[KEN W]

25 here this morning.....but we go dumped on yesterday. 7 inches here. 10 just down the road 10 miles. Heavy and wet.

[snow1]

Well bumper car thursday morning is under way,looking out my office window looks like several vehicles piled up,emergency rigs are lighting up the road way,this is  a bridge overpass,folks need to slow down.

Looked like the EMT ppl pulled a body out of a mangled car,tough morning commute today.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, 24* for our start & goin for 38* later. The snow stopped here ~ 11:30 yday & we had 6" on the ground by that time. We cleared the driveway anyway as we're headed to town today. We may hit 50* tomorrow so this new snow won't last very long. No more now, have a good day.

[LPS]

Just checked with Royal Dutchmen resort website and no more open water in the last 3 days.  Still frozen at Birchdale.

[Jerkbiat]

Not looking like there will be much open water river fishing for the walters this year.

[Dotch]

Mornin' gang! 29 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 30's. Another .06" worth of assorted frozen precip (including graupel) in the Bugtussle gauge. Was still melting the stuff at the ranch when I left. Had .17" there yesterday from the day before. Still battling to get my wife's Medicare stuff taken care of. Being the go between sucks so I'm gonna have her talk to the agent direct tomorrow. I got more important stuff to do like check out gin prices! I got a call this a.m. from a former customer who wants me back. I always enjoyed working with him but once his son got more involved, the co-op grabbed those acres. We always got a long great so looking forward to working with him again. He usually had a nice field of wheat to look at so especially looking forward to that.     

[glenn57]

Afternoon fellers, I see a first campfire of the season this weekend.

Got things to do.

[markn]

Just got home from picking the last few items for our MDHA banquet. Now just get them inventoried and wrote up and it will all be done. Going to try to get my new 17 sighted in this afternoon too. Did an old Marlin 100g 22cal yesterday. Later....
