We had a foot of sand in front of our 10-12' of rip rap where the dock sits in late April when the dock went in. Now, more than 1/2 of that rip rap is under water. I think the water has to be up 16-18"in the last 2 months here.

damn....i can about imagine what our dock may look like. wont be going up till July 8th!!!!!!

HEY GUNNER...I sent ya a pm yesterday  You don't like me now.

[glenn57]

OK.......so gunner or fishwidow or even kettle if he checks in. . got a question regarding furniture stores.  i'll take both your opinions to heart!!!!

i'm seriously contemplating replacing the mattress in the bed i sleep in at the cabin. no way can i haul up a mattress from here at home up there with other things i need to bring, so thinking i'd hook up my trailer and head to rapids. when i did a google search for mattresses in the deer river area, i found these 3'. mt trailer stays at the cabin.

rivertown furniture
lake country furniture, and
lake country furniture outlet.

any opinions on any of them???? pretty sure the mattress is a double.  and needs to be somewhat plyable to be able to squirm it in place because of the bunk on top.

any input would be much appreciated.

[glenn57]

AND NO!!!!!!!!! I'm not really looking for one thats urine or baby batter stained!!!!!

I know how you guys are!!!!!!!

Never bought a mattress from any of them.  I have gotten smaller things from both Rivertown and Lake Country.
We have a queen size bed, and years ago I bought a mattress snd box spring from some outfit in St. Paul that claimed their mattresses were all made by major manufacturers and had minor imperfections. The labels were all torn off because the big name makers didn’t want their name associated with a discount merchant. The box spring was one piece. To get the box spring up to the second floor, I had to go underneath the steps and knock out the lower two thirds so the mattress could be tilted almost upright to fit. My wife was upstairs pulling while I pushed from the bottom. Then I had to reassemble the steps so I could get up there.  That mattress was the most comfortable thing I ever slept on for about six months and then turned into pure torture as the springs failed. When we decided to cut our losses, I had to take a saw and bolt cutter to the box spring to get it down the stairs.
We ended up buying a good mattress set from a store in Hudson, Wisconsin. They delivered it all the way to the bedroom for $75.00. Money well spent.

sleep number and problem solved....

yea iffin your response to me.....that aint happening.

i need something that bends because of the braces that hold the top bunk in place. just a simple mattress. that one currently on the bed is shot.

HEY GUNNER...I sent ya a pm yesterday  You don't like me now.

Yeah........................at 9:30 & I've usually been outside for over an hour by that time, so I didn't see it. Then we were at the bank in DR by 8:45 yday. But it looks like there's a Slumberland out behind the Lucky 7 east of L&M's warehouse on 169 too. About all I know is that the oldest niece & her husband bought the mattress they have here in GR & I think they got theirs at the Lake Country Outlet store. That's right there by the light where 2 comes into town. I never see any cars at the 1 on the corner of Pokegama Ave & Hwy 2 & I'm not sure they're even open anymore. That Rivertown 1 is just east of LC Outlet but on the other side of the road.

I used to volunteer and it was great.  But as soon as you have any title you are the one that has to fill in when someone doesn't show up.  Like for bingo or meat raffles.  Great time though.

i was officially elected in Aug of last year........i have had 1 communication since then. i sent an email to the rest of the board objecting to the idea of raising membership fees from $15.00 to $50.00. since then its total silence.

oh and boober..........

[LPS]

    So you are the new guy making waves.  Now they are all quitting and leaving it up to you.  LOL

[glenn57]

  maybe. but there's like 3 or 4 new people on the board.

I can't help it I'm not afraid to speak my mind! 

[roony]

Maybe they thought by raising the fee they would keep out the riff raff.

[glenn57]

Maybe they thought by raising the fee they would keep out the riff raff.

nope.........his theory was.......raise it to accumulate more money to do things. oh he had some strange ideas, in my mind!!

his math figured it if they raise it to 50 bucks........yea we may lose 3 people but with one new member they gain 5 bucks!!!!! maybe. my explanation to them was, isnt it the goal to gain more members?????? this shouldnt be a track meet......but a marathon.......

and the meeting i went to, not even all the board members where there and i believe there were maybe 4 other people there......so???

they have a little picnic and meeting on july 26th.....i'm kinda interested the turnout for that

[Gunner55]

We had at least 80-85 for our Fish Fry.

[glenn57]

must be quite the sh!tshow up there this weekend!!!!!!

last night i texted the VP of the JLWA, he's from Arkansas, but spends his summers  up there and his place is on the same lake we are on.  i appaprently got his and his wifes # mixed up but, i was wondering about the picnic and meeting. itold them i would be up on monday after the weekend circus was over!!!!

her reply.......be glad your missing the circus!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Took the 8' long pc of old windmill that I use to move the lift & stuck it in the lake pretty close to the spot where the water was when the dock went in at the end of April the other day. Then measure it against the 1' composite sections of the new dock, it was at least 2-4" deeper than 2-1' pcs of that decking. So, the water level here is up at least 26 -28" in the last 9 weeks.

[glenn57]

WOW.....thats alot of water!!!!!

[glenn57]

water musta really came up on bowstring as well...........Geigers has a completely new dock design in the lake!!!!!!

[glenn57]

the VP of the JLWA and i have been emailing and texting now and then since the announcements/resignations.......he wants me to stop by......wonder what he has up his sleeve. 

the picnic is still on for the 26th..........but good grief there isnt anything other then what was put in there bulletin they sent out about a month ago.
