Good Morning!!!!!!

[deadeye]

They are nice to have around.  Here are a couple strolling by a camera.  This pair has been around all spring and summer.  They did have a young one but something must have killed it because it's not around anymore.  Tough life in the wild.

[delcecchi]

Tough life for sure.  We have several broods of mallards that patrol our beach.  One mom is very territorial and there was a duckling in her area without a mother. 

The territorial duck attacked and killed the duckling (as our grand daughters watched).

Killer duck and her single offspring are still patrolling the beach.

Morning folks! Up and at it already! made the trip to Hagar city this morning. Voting in a new contract! Gonna be a long day!

Wow Del I didn't know ducks got so mean.  My brothers neighbor saw a northern take a baby loon last summer.  Happened right in front of him.  What easy targets they are.  We had 1/2" of rain last night.  Lot's of farmers have their rye grass cut and are combining so I don't think they want rain now.  Looks like we have more chances of rain for a few days too.  Hope we don't get too much.  Well have a great day all.

Same to you LPS.  Nothing new yet on my end.  Still playing catchup.  I did get front brake pads replaced on the car and gave it an oil change last night.  I did get a call that our new puppy was born and will be ready to be picked up in 8 weeks.  We have been waiting since May for the right one. 

[Boar]

cool, good luck with the new pup, I for one cant wait till I don't have any pets, but that's just me getting to bussy it seems, Maybe be cause Zelda just got ahold of our grill cover, and shredded it. idk. hoping to start a new smoking adventure but just  need time. cant wait for fall.

[Reinhard]

Waiting for a new pup.  Man,  that is something special.  They say man's best friend.  I have some folks that call me crazy to refering them as almost human.  They have so much love and so much loyalty.  All the emotions we all have.  But they are the most loyal and loving  creatures to me.  Hard to explain to some, but not to me.  Love them very much.   Enjoy that pup and I know you will.  good luck.

I hear you RH.  This is going to be my son's first dog kind of.  We got our current GSP when my daughter was born 11 years ago and son born 9 years ago.  So he doesn't remember much about the dog being a pup.  Don't get me wrong the boy loves that dog but this one is going to be special.  He is watching training videos and has a plan put together.  I'm looking forward to the time we will be spending together both training and in the field.

That's cool to hear G, bet Mason is chomping at the bit with anticipation.

Raining cats and dogs here, hopefully drops the humidity down a bit. I can handle hot working in a foundry, just not the humidity. Been pet sitting for my daugher & son in law, who are out in Colorado hiking. Their dog and cat must only like it at their house, cause they are terrorising mine. Running on little sleep with the howling. But, it is what it is......

Hope you all have a great day!

morning fellers!!!!!!! dumped an 1 1/2 of rain out this morning.

general, dew, you guys need to build an ARC??????????? reports on the news last nite said you guys out your way had 7 to 8 inches of rain!!!!!!!!

[deadeye]

We got just under 3 inches here in Big Lake.  No water issues as the area is flat with sandy soil. 

[Rebel SS]

2 1/2" down here in swampville. Under flood watch next two days. 3-5" more on the way, so they say.  We've already had over 12" down here. 

[Jerkbiat]

Morning all. Glad we missed out on the rain for once. Skirted just south of us. I have been slacking on dropping in hear lately. Been a busy boy. We got our patio ready to pour last weekend. Planning to do the pour after work tomorrow. Hoping the rain stays away. Have a good day all.

Checked the rain gauge when I got back home , 3 inches

I thought glenns blue color came from lack of oxygen 

[LPS]

Man that is a lot of rain in mid state.  We have missed it up here.  Looks like a beautiful day here.  Too bad I have to work tomorrow.  I have a lot of things to do on my list.  Grocery shopping, filling gas jugs, and Vikes game so not much getting done tonight after work.  Trying to think of something fun to grill for the Vikes game.  Something easy too.  The nights here have been nice and cool.  61 last night and in the mid 50's the night before.  Feeling like early fall weather here.  I wonder what the average is?  Seems a little early for that cool weather.
