Hoping you were fairly rewarded afterwards!!

Back home already Glenn, thought you just went up  Evening forum fellas, we made Bismarck and called it good, 680 miles with 300 in the rain. That whole stretch from Idaho through Big sky up towards Bozeman Montana is just flat out cool as heck, we have around 450 to home tomorrow which should be a breeze.  Been getting pics from ma and pa with the pooches so we're kinda pumped on roughing them up tomorrow ( the pooches)..lol. Anywho best get some rest...See ya!!!

[LPS]

Cool as heck and fun to hear about your adventure.

[glenn57]

Where in Bismarck are you staying boober? Spent some time there doing the union thug thing. Best western 7 seas actually think it was Mandan.

Yea went up Monday came home today. To many things going on with moms stuff and felt I needed to be closer.

[glenn57]

momma left me unsupervised today............ may run to the store with nuttin on the shelves i usually need.....FF but will try anyway!!!!

Mornin all, 64 last I looked here & it's going to hit 80 later. Brother said it was a little after 5 when our company headed down the drive, I was out . Only 1 little walleye today. Looks like they've backed off our rain for today now, it's sayin ~ 10 tonight now. Got most of my mowing done yday, then we hit the meat raffle last night. We hadn't been there in a while & the niece wanted to check it out. Not certain of my plan of action for today yet, so I'll just roll with it. 'Bout it here, have a good day.

Morning boys.  Jake is sleeping on my lap so I am doing two finger typing.  Heading to the Falls today to get some things. Pretty hazy out today.  Possible rain today and tomorrow.  No other plans and that is just fine.

[Dotch]

Mornin' comrades! 66 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-80's. Weather terrorists keep threatening heavier rain then back it down. I'm watering the crap out of things just to make it rain. Just once it'd be nice if they were wrong and we'd get more than their constant last minute forecast changes indicate. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like it will mess up the outdoor wedding now. Bean picking on the slate along with more weeding. I'd rather stay home & pull weeds than go to this wedding but will save this one for future reference. In the meantime Poppy & I are unsupervised. Marshall Tucker was decent. They've assembled an extremely talented group of musicians; two outstanding guitar players, a flutist, drummer & bass player. Perhaps the disappointing thing was the original lead singer, Doug Gray. At 75, sounded like the voice is gone. Sounded more like Willie Nelson with a bad cold than Doug Gray. Oh well, the price was right & now I can cross them off the list of bands I've wanted to see.

Sad that we and others are getting older.

Just finished breakfast here. First big cook on the new Blackstone. Four and a half pounds of shredded tators, four venison brats, one one onion, one green pepper and 16 eggs. Washed down with a fuzzy naval. Might need a nap now. Weather man here is saying around 12:30 for rain to start. We’ll see. Have a great day all, later……

looks and sounds good Mark!!!   

[LPS]

That looks like fun!

[Bobberineyes]

I gotta get one of those mark! I'm guessing the hair on the back of your neck was standing while I blew by you guys on 94 Mike and Glenn !  Afternoon peoples,  the last leg of journey was ok, 94 in ND was gravy, in MN it was a gong show, WTH.. Funny as soon as we showed up ma and pa bolted, our pooches can't be that bad I thought. Anywho us 4 had a complete BLAST, no shortage of laughter,  the kids are already wondering where we're heading to next year. Just a few pics, the waterfalls are pretty abundant,  ran across a family of Mink on a dock also. The Elk and Bison sure like to stand on the roads slowing one down, but as hard as we tried to walk nasty looking trails we never seen a Grizzly,  can't say we didn't try...just one pic of the badlands.

Mornin boys, it was 66 when I went down to the dock & 74 will be the high. I got bit off twice & caught 1 real small perch. No rain here yet either but I'm gonna wash clothes & hang 'em out, that should make sure we get some rain.   No more now, have a good 1.

[Scenic]

[Dotch]

Mornin' comrades! 65 at choretime heading for a high around 70. .29" of rain so far at the ranch so that's a start. Appears to be more on the radar so we shall see. Wedding went off w/o too much of an issue. The food was absolutely awesome. The gal married a Mexican who seems to be a super guy. The supper was catered by a new Mexican outfit that's starting up in Owatonna. They grilled the meat for the fajitas on site prior to the meal so the smell made your mouth water. I was hungry already and the portions were huge. My wife dumped about half her plate on mine so I was stuffed. The best wedding food I ever ate, washed down with Modelo beers. Small, informal outdoor wedding, had their poop in a group in case the weather turned, it wasn't beastly hot & I knew a lot of people there so it was tolerable as weddings go. And I have low tolerance. Freezing string beans, cleaning up the house & maybe getting some groceries today. And of course spending quality time with Poppy. 🐕

Morning boys.  Man that is early Glenn.  They had an ad for help two days a week stocking shelves and unloading trucks but one day was Monday.  I don't want to get up early on Mondays.  Started at 6.  See you are a bad influence on me Glenn.  Had me thinking about it for a minute.  LOL  Well it is real cloudy here and had sprinkles for awhile but I think it blew past us.  Must have been Bobbs fault.  I am going to pull the wild parsnip this morning.  Forgot all about finding it till the wife reminded me.  I will put a garbage bag over them and then pull them out.  Works good.  Then I will jam it all in a box and close it.  Should be safe then.  Coffee is good and was nice out on the deck too. Not a lot going on today and that is great.  Great pics Bobb.  Thanks.  Have a good day all of youse.

[glenn57]

  yea its pretty darn early for a retired guy!!!!!! but its only 1 week out of the year. i did this last year to.

its usually followed by a Dotch style nap!!!!!!

[Dotch]

Followed by a much deserved Dotch style nap...
