Good Morning!!!!!!

[LPS]

Morning boys.  It is up to 20 now but was 14 at 6 when the wife got up.  I just saw on the news that Bagley MN has a curfew from 10 pm to 5 am every day including weekends due to the excess of property damage claims in the area.  ???  Wonder what that is all about?  Well things are quiet on the Rainy River except for the geese and ducks.  That is ok too.  Still safe and sound here.  Gonna have Big G little O's for breakfast.  Got the tree swallow houses up yesterday so waiting their arrival.  I think it will get above freezing here today.  Been awhile.  Looking forward to some nice warm weather.

River open in front of your place Barry?

[LPS]

Yup just some shore ice here yet.  Can't quite get the dock in yet. 

[Rebel SS]

Lessee.....checkpoints.....denied access....curfews....non-essential forced closings....

Sounds like Poland in 1939.....

[Jerkbiat]

Yes, it is starting to go beyond ridiculous now.

[LPS]

My boat is still in storage at the Fair Grounds.  I guess I am in now hurry to get it out yet.  Don't know how I would get it in the river yet.

[Rebel SS]

You probably get arrested for non-compliance attempt with a non-wheeled vehicle.

Mornin' gang! 12 for an overnite low & 17 at choretime, heading for a high in the low 30's. Should be sunny after yesterday's graupel mini-fest which amounted to a trace of precip. Not much for action today other than writing a few checks and getting the mail in town. Gotta get my local newspaper too! Got my hometown newspaper yesterday. It's been combined with several other papers. Was a liberal rag before. I thought how can it get any worse? Well it did. Just more pages of the same tripe. The only positive is it's more pages for lining boxes of orphan lambs! When the subscription is done, I'm done. Albert's Leaf paper is on thin ice too. They've gone to 2 days a week. It's another liberal rag. And they cut out Dear Abby, the only thing worth a crap in the whole paper! The world is goin' to helena handbasket I tell ya...

I thought locals knew all the secret access spots.

[LPS]

I don't want to talk about it.

  morning fellers...…….decided to head north weekend after this one for my legal leisurely drive!!!!!!!!!!

working on making some ground meat jerky today!!!!!!!!!!!

the red cross is on my case again so gonna schedule a blood donation appointment yet too!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Brother used to give all the time when he was still working & when the C19 started he checked into it on-line. He couldn't get an appt for a month & now has to go to Mason City. They called about a week or so he checked again & it was still the same, 1 month out at the earliest. It's all done by Life Savers down here now.

[glenn57]

I was given the direct phone line number to the donation room the last time I donated to the st cloud donation center.

 I called them and due to the COVID crap they cant take appts that way for now. so I called the 800 red cross line. I got an appt scheduled for April 30th. they wont allow walkins either, only by appt.

not sure if my O-neg blood type and the fact I do the power red  helped me get in sooner or not????? they do treat ya pretty good though.

[roony]

[glenn57]

I knew you were negative!

Mornin' gang! Low of 18, 26 at choretime, heading for a high in the mid-30's. Looks like more sun again so it keeps spirits up better. I see the snow melted off the radish planting so at least there is that. Put out a few more ears of corn for the squirrels  altho the blue jays have been claiming it as their turf, chasing the tree rats off every chance they get. Good day to send out some bills looks like. Looks like a laid back day for the most part.   

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Just another day here.  We are safe and healthy so that is a great thing.  No big plans for the day.  Will be just a little warmer today.  Will be nicer on the weekend.  Looking forward to that.  Need to have a campfire and trim some trees around here.  Have sausages heating up for breakfast now.  Been doing cereal every other day.  Egg and sausage the other days.  Stay safe and have a great day!

[glenn57]
