Was it the spring in the switch? Probably had to put a whole new switch in though, huh?   

not sure but that's my guess. I talked to some gal who simply looked on the puter and told me it's done. Find out Monday.

Heading up tomorrow and going fishing for a few days. Glen, if I end up in jail will you bail me out when you come up.

Man a good juicy burger and an ice cold beer sounds damn good.  We all need to meet up somewhere someday and do that.

Only for take out, so far is what the locals are tellin us. Just like Sportsmans, brother had a lady at Wallyworld tell him this week that they've been almost as busy as what they are normally.

Got some lumber in Marcell yday & the younger guys workin said they order from Riley's quite a bit. Also said they just had 1 of their better days ever & were surprised for it being just take out. I do know that when we stopped at the north access on Sunday last weekend that Riley's had sign right there were get off 35.

[glenn57]

mayhaps he did order take out. as usual some of the finer details got left out! what threw me was the beer part...…...didn't think they could take or sell it outside???

[merc]

Bars can sell up to six beers, I believe, to go. It was passed to help keep them going along with the take out food.

Brother said when he went to Marcell there was 5 or 6 of Merc's buddies sittin outside at Hayslips on some picnic tables havin a couple.   Might've been on the lookout though thinkin it was 'bout time he showed up. Bet don't come 'round there very often so they can get away with a little more.

[merc]

I may have to check it out this week. I know they are open for off sale, so who knows what rules they have.   

[Gunner55]

Yeah, a lot of 'em around here have an off sale license. Bet they'll be glad to see ya.

Forgot to mention that Riley's does have a few of the big wooden spools that the utility companies use sitting out in their parking for customers to use as tables if the weather is nice. Brother said there was a few around 'em yday afternoon.

[glenn57]

Good for them!!👍 10 news last night interviewd the manager for the 6 area Shady's. These folks are seriously hurting.

Also got an email from the DNR red flag warning up that way.

[Gunner55]

I'm not surprised as it's been so dry that there has hardly even been any dew in the mornings. There's only been a day or 2 where I needed to put on my Muck slip ons so my feet didn't get wet. Been pretty windy just about everyday too. Took the wheeler down to the NW access twice this weekend & only 2 rigs both times. Must've slowed down over there or there'd been more locals over there. That or everyone's waitin for next weekend.

[Gunner55]

Made a quick run to GR today as we needed a few things & tryin to free up some time. Maybe even run up to URL, dependin on the weather. Leavin there today I noticed the sign at the place on Hwy 2 were you liked their Reubens. It said closed & the VFW comin soon. The old VFW was completely tore down last week so I was wonderin what was goin on.

well if that rueben was anything like the rest of there food I can see why it's no longer opening. The food  at the pickled loon in st cloud was great. There was a place called Grandma's saloon on hwy 6 north of Emily, that is now a pickled loon, still alot of cars there when I drove by.

[glenn57]

got the boat back last nite. the fix it ticket said it was a bad fuse holder to the motor, I looked a bit and never did find it, but i'll take a more in-depth look when I start putting all my stuff back in the boat.

No, no............................I said the 1 on Hwy 2 & that was Toivo's or something like that, wasn't it.?  I thought you liked the Reuben at the place by the Goodwill store. The Pickled Loon in GR is out by Zorbas & the Pokegama bridge isn't it? We don't get out 169 that far very often.

[glenn57]

Toivi's is closed???????? NOOOooooooooooooooooo  that bites!!!!!!!!

yea I was confused, when yo said Rueben...…….that one at the pickled look still haunts me!!!!!!!

but rumor up there was Toivis was up for sale!!!!!!! they had a points program I used, spend a hundred bucks, and you got 10 bucks off next bill.

I don't believe there's a in line fuse on our main hot wire going to the starting battery. I know there is 1 on the switch & the rest of the console though.

Yeah, it said for sale on their sign when we came up, the end of April.

Best talk to your buddy on Oteneagen Rd & see what up with Mn 6 too. Orange signs up all over saying it was closed yday. MnDOT is saying they are resurfacing from just north of him all the way up to just north of Talmoon or Little Too Much Lake where they're replacing a culvert.
