[mike89]

mornin all, 23 here and hoping to get into the low 40's..  quiet and gray looking morning...  going to Alex this morning, got some things to to drop off at some place safe...  and then get a few things for me...have a good day all!!   

[snow1]

Agreed G.T. cold and damp this morning,crazy precip yesterday evening,not snow or sleet but large white balls like cotton balls coming down exploding on impact,today later more lite snow on the way...this weather is messing up the early crappie bite in my area,neighbors in south dakota claim the walleye bite is hot,most fish caught are spawned out already up shallow.

We treated ourselves to texas roadhouse prime rib for 31 years of wedded bliss tonight.

so when did the katchup get into the meal!!!   

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 25 here and heading for low 40s just like Mike. That prime rib looked yummy. And like Mike asked when did the ketchup hit the plate? LOL. Just another day in the slat mines. Have a good one boys.

Mornin' gang! 24 for a low, 27 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-40's. Looks like the apple blossoms should be OK. Slowly warming up. Be more planters rolling today. Saw 3 deer this morning in the corridor to the CRP while checking my cutworm trap. They looked at me, tossed their heads, flipped their tails up and sauntered off. Probably waiting for me to get out of there so they could come back & finish eating my hazelnut bushes.

while shoveling and hauling that granite sunday i asked my son if his friend could get me a price on 1/2 inch treated plywood. i really need to replace my bed on my snowmobile trailer, bad.

yesterday he hauled 2 more loads of granite. at 4;30 ish i had 3 sheets  of 1/2 inch treated plywood in my garage. no charge to me.  kid says thanks for hauling and all the work getting the rock!!!!!!! they never did fessup what it costs!!!! lets just say my sons friend gets a good discount!!!!!

he did say in about 2 months, your not going to be able to find that stuff though!!!

[Dotch]

Was hearing upwards of $70 a sheet in places. Surprised the protestors didn't just take that and leave the stores alone! 

[LPS]

I've been reading about the lumber rip off going on.  This may not be the total truth but seems loggers aren't getting anymore for trees.  Truckers aren't getting anymore for hauling.  Lumberyards aren't jacking prices and making a huge profit.  Seems like it is the mills that are hijacking everyone.  One article said they have huge piles outside the mills. 

[glenn57]

When this rona crap first came about,it was my understanding alot of places shut down and the product flow was severely interrupted. When they slowly ramped back up places couldn't get the right stuff at the right time!

Then when everyone was at home everyone was into do it yourself projects, compounding shortages, say canning lids. Then maybe some good old man made shortages snd add a little bit of good old American price gouging

  Why, you get a call from Inger?                        Shouldn't be for more than 2-2.5 weeks, so still be back up before The Opener. 

[mike89]

heard there are train loads of lumber in Canada and they are not moving cause of covid...

$72 a sheet @ The Save Big Money Store before the 11%, or $64 after. https://www.menards.com/main/c-13331.htm

All I know is I am glad I built that little fish house before covid lumber prices hit.

yea they keep ASKING for this gunner??????????????

[roony]

As long as fools keep paying these stupid prices for building materials they will keep jacking them up.

[LPS]

I have been reading also that they do expect there to be a big nose dive in prices as the glut of lumber at mills gets too big for them to store it all. 

[Gunner55]

  I believe that until the rest of 'em get CV-19 somewhat under control it's not going to change much.  We're way ahead of the rest & they're now sayin we will most likely need another booster this fall/winter. The builders will still be working & they'll pay whatever the market says it's worth. Very little supply & high demand..................... simple economics. What will they pay?

[snow1]

brisk ,morning but we have sunshine,off to a rough start dang alarm system at my shop,little touchy these days,sure woke me up,ears are still ringing.

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 29 here heading for 60 today. Then back into the 30s for highs tomorrow  . That alarm will wake you up better than coffee snow. Just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[glenn57]

Morning fellers. Off to get my 2nd rona shot this morning. Then have an appointment to finally after about 8 years to finish filling out my living will. Some of those questions are tough to answer!!
