Ya RH does it up right doesn't he.   We went to the Falls early yesterday morning to get home in time for the disappointing Vikes game.  We even listened to some Christmas songs on the way.  Heard the 12 Days of Christmas.  Man is that a long song.  I remember singing it in school.  Was always a challenge to remember all of the things.  Was always wondering about the maids a milking....      The sky is a weird color here.  Pre storm is guess.  My brother at Ottertail already has ice occurring we may have 5-9" of snow coming.  They downgraded the snow but upped the wind as it now could reach 40 mph.  I have been doing good fishing so would like to be in the fish house for some of the storm.  i do see a few flakes in the air now and the wind is picking up.  Well we are snug and warm here and that is where we will stay.  Have a great day to all of you....

[lovebigbluegills]

Good morning all!!! RH will be having a fantastic meal later for sure--maybe we could start up a side bet on what he'll be making to go with the ny strip.  Drive safe boar, last I saw on the forecast is that it won't be starting til later in the afternoon...for teef river anyways. Sounds like you had a dandy meal yesterday boober, have a good time at your parents today!!!  Have fun in the fish house later LPS, hopefully they'll have the feedbag on!! I'm with you, no way I could remember all 12 days.

Pretty laid back day here today. Just the wife, marvin and I. I've got some pork jerky to smome today and some straightening up in the garage to do.

Kicking back here today. Grilled a couple NY strips for supper last nite-yum! Starting to get nasty outside, been raining a half hour or so and windy. Mrs. Cheviot told me I don't have to grill today. Code for "I'm going to try to take advantage of you". I'm wise to her ways. I bet I can move the grill to the other side of the house out of the wind! 😆

Looks dynamite dotch!! Plop that grill in the middle of the kitchen, that'll keep her at bay for a bit.  I sure get a kick otta watching the dogs over the years tearing into presents. All the pouches have been that way, we had the sis in laws crapzu (and that's what she is) for the last few days and all the puppy presents were hers in her mind, remi would try to paw an un opened one away and she would snap . Anyhow can't believe how fast this past year went by, gonna run through the auger and the rest of the ice fishing stuff in the morning and hopefully get out soon.     

[lovebigbluegills]

That's fer sure boober, those darn dogs know when Christmas is, and know that they have a bone or whatever wrapped up. At least that they have a free day of shredding paper!!! My oldest dog (passed away this past september) loved to shred wrapping paper at Christmas, and had since he was a pup, and passed that trait on to Marvin. I usually wrap up some kind of treat for the dog(s), so they feel like part of the undwrapping thing too.

Merry Christmas again to all of you guys!!!

[The General]

I did the same thing for both of the dogs.  The young pup needed no teaching from the old man on unwrapping presents.  However once they both had their presents open the pup tried to,take a lick from the old man's bone.  He wasn't having that.

Survived the big blast here. All rain, .52" in Bugtussle & .49" at the ranch. Anyplace that wasn't scraped down good is now glare ice. Flurrying so will really have to watch your step. Wind with the ice was the worst thing. Loads of sticks and branches to pick up in the backyard. Neighbor David had a 30' spruce snapped about 3' - 4' off the ground. He has nothing better to do than worry about it so am sure his grandson will hear about it until it's removed. Coming into town the wind and ice snapped the top of a power pole on the main transmission line so that ain't good. Just sorta dangling there w/wires still attached. Power's still on so that's the main thing. Too windy to mess with it today. And it finished off the sign at the office that it started on during a summer storm. Nasty stomach flu outbreak in the locally so will need to be on the lookout for that.    

[ThunderLund78]

I was hoping to maybe chase some tip-ups today...  But after the rain pelting the already questionable ice and the wind howling, it's gonna be a while before you'll see me out there in any capacity.  Guess I'll get started on helping the kids open up all their toys - it takes 5-10 minutes to get the average toy truck/tractor out of its box these days - almost need a chainsaw and a blowtorch.

[Gunner55]

Just back from the weekend, so I thought I would check in. About 3" at mom's on Friday, some nasty freezin rain/rain for all of Saturday & most of Sunday. Big wind & enough snow on the drive home to cause visibility problems.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Well back to reality today.  Work work work for us union guys...     Oh well long weekend next week  too so that is something to look forward to.  Had those big shrimp on the grill and turned out great.  Will do that again.  0 here right now with a high of 10.  Lots of drifting over the last couple of days.  Turned the heat off in the fish house.  Will redrill out the holes on Friday for the weekend.  Caught some nice fish but get home too late from work to get down there during the week.

[Boar]

Morning all, heading to bagley this smornin with the wheeler. wish me luck. other than that not much new, waiting for the first trip of the seaon. Have a good day everyone...

[Jerkbiat]

Morning all! I survived the big holiday weekend. Pulled the fish house out on Saturday. Fished a little Saturday and sunday. Fishing was so so. have friends coming up to fish this weekend so we will hit it hard then. Had 12" of ice this past weekend. Have a good one.

[glenn57]

And yer Mom dressses ya funny too!!!  Shtroumpf!   

[ThunderLund78]

I tell ya what.  I'd never thought I'd say "Man I'm sick of all the bacon, cream cheese, sour cream, onion, shredded cheese and hot pepper dip" but I'm officially done with Holiday appetizers for a while.  It's pretty much all I've eaten the last 4 days.  Throw a random over-sized Holiday dinner in there a couple times along with plenty of beers and other cups holiday cheer and this guy's body is crying uncle. 

After we got back home from all the Family fun yesterday, my wife and I made sure we had a good salad with supper last night.  I've always liked fruits and veggies anyway, but my body's in all-out CRAVE mode for all things healthy right now.  I guess it makes the New Year's Resolution easier.

[Gunner55]

Morning all, we got 22 now, headin for 28. Wind has finally let up. Kind of glad it's over too, glenn. Now we can start thinkin about going back up to our favorite part of Itasca Co. If it all goes good we could be looking at going up Friday, if we hit  some snags it will probably be Monday. Hope you all have a good 1

[LPS]

I'm with you Thunder.  Sometimes I just crave a good salad.  It is almost a healing feeling eating something healthy like that.  I should eat them more often.  Man that dip sounds great.....  Have you posted that on here before?

[hawg]

At my son's house this weekend he had some good old brown bottle Michelob Light, not the Golden Light. When I got home I drove straight to the beer store for a 12 pack. I forgot how good that stuff was, ya never see it much anymore. Still big time ice on our roads around here but the sun is starting to get rid of some of it now.

[Dotch]

We used to splurge and buy the original Mich once in a while many moons ago. It was good. Since that time, my tastes have tended to run more to 2 kinds: cold and someone else's.    Sunshine today after a cloudy stretch. The wind isn't howling so it's decent out. 23 with a forecast high of 25. Tomorrow more sun & back up to 34. I hear ya about the fruit & veggie thing too. Was disappointed that the FFA missed us this year selling fruit. And I really miss not being able to have grapefruit. Stupid meds anyway.
