2/24 Today I saw the twenty yard line on the local football field. The snow had melted away showing the fake green grass, it looked pretty good!

Thinking of Spring and having just been to the boat show it reminded me of a story I once wrote about a trip I made. It was called " All I wanted to do is catch a fish!

Several years ago I was at the Duluth Boat Show with a bud of mine who had another bud of his working the concession stand who was selling Bud. Well my bud had already had a few to many Buds and was telling me about his special way of catching trout from the pond. He then put down his 75 cents and went behind the rope. His idea was to snag them... He tossed the little fly out which he had weighted down with three bottle tops from the three Buds he had already drank and proceeded to rip the fly through the pond. On his 2nd time through he latched on to a trout which he then reared back setting the hook and yanking the fish out of the pond through the air to land on the top of an elderly lady who had a stocking cap covered in yellow beads.

The next rod action was to yank the fish back taking the stocking cap off the head of the now screaming lady and the hat and fish fell back into the tank. I guess the yellow beads look like corn to the hungry fish and now the 500 trout attacked the stocking hat as one, sending a wave of water over the side of the tank and on to the floor. Well it was pretty much down hill from there. Women started screaming, men started ducking. Kids chased flopping trout across the wet cement floor. Then you know a guys falls into another guy and that guy takes a swing at that guy and misses and hits another guy who falls on the girlfriend of another guy who hits the first guy who falls into the pool. Then security comes and drags the guy in the pool out but they slip on the edge of the wet pool and then the pool splits and before you know it a couple of thousand gallons of water is flowing into the main arena and then the sail boat gets floated and the mast hits the big net holding the balloons for the final night drawing and they fall all over the place and the band starts playing Danny Boy and it's like the Titanic all over again.. And there I am just standing in line with my 75 cent ticket and all I want to do, is catch a fish.

I'll let ya know as soon as 10" of new snow melts away.

[Bobby Bass]

I hear ya, 6" of snow here today the first real snowfall since Jan 4th, but with the sun so high by mid afternoon the street is clear and steaming!

[Dotch]

There was thunder and lightning here Thursday morning. Oh yeah, but it snowed 4", the landscape is white and the temperature was about 3 this morning. Oh well, at least the sun is shining, chores are done and I have to make one of those "awful" trips to the Man's Store. Gotta pick up some more thistle seed. These common redpolls are eating us out of house and home. Lotta lambs on the ground, a sure sign of spring if ever there was one.
