Yeah, Dotch, I have to agree on Davison as I watch a lot of BIG 10 BB & he has at least 1 or 2 of those cheapshot fouls every game.

Mornin' gang! 35 at choretime heading for a high near 60. Got purty close to that yesterday, 58 at the ranch, 59 in Waseca, 57 in Owatonna & 61 in Albert's Leaf. Normal as it's closest to IA and all that hot air!  Lot's of snow & ice melted. Was able to find the downspout that blew off in one of the last snowstorms this a.m. It was still under the snow yesterday afternoon when I was lookin' for it. Some phenology things goin' on yesterday. More daffodils came up and the pussy willow catkins are just starting emerge.  Pheasants were thick in the wetland area. I'd planned on walking out on the ice on the pond to change the shavings & roust any deer mice out of that wood duck house. Ring of water around it already so that'll be a wader job. Not quite dry enough to plant radishes in the small garden yet but maybe tomorrow.

[mike89]

yup get them radish's going!!!

Morning boys. 35 here this morning with a few drops of rain. Heading for mid 50s again today then a cool down. I should be getting the call sometime today letting me know what time to be at the hospital tomorrow. I am having cataract surgery on my right eye. It just keeps getting more blurry every day. I see small objects in a cluster of 3 out of my right eye. Well, just another day in the slat mines. Have a good one boys.

That is usually only on the weekends that I drink the rona preventive meds. 

[mike89]

[Bobberineyes]

Good luck also jb!!

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Good luck with the eye JB.  I am curious to hear about it.  I have just a little cataract in each eye but the Dr said I should be good for another 10 years.  Hope so.  I see that we have some puddles that disappeared yesterday.  Evaporation or frost out in that spot???  Still have snow to melt and some big puddles yet.  Going to take it easy today.  Try to keep the dogs out of the mud.  lol  That will be challenge enough.

[markn]

Have three guys stopping by to quote my dirt work today. Going to be busy. Good luck JB with the eye. Later...

[mike89]

well time to get my hair cut!!!

Mornin' gang! 40 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-60's. Made mid-50's yesterday at most locations within shouting distance. Another ewe had twin buck lambs late yesterday afternoon. She'd gone walkabout on me at noon when I fed the bottle lambs. Found her way down in the far end of the pasture. Hadn't lambed yet so I herded her back up to the lot. Before I left for town she was in the barn. Was pretty sure she'd go back out to the same spot in the pasture but she didn't. That was fortunate. I see that dadgum pot stirrer's at it already this a.m. Haven't mailed him anything in a while & it's not like there haven't been some "choice" items to send... Good luck on your eye surgery JB!

yea Mikey started early today!!!!!!!

[delcecchi]

I've been cleaning out, and have a whole box of CDs, assorted stuff from days gone by.   I have gone pretty much digital so they need to go.   If anyone wants some PM me your address and I'll send you some.   I've got a fair number so there are probably enough to go around..    This is only the first box.

If you get them and choose to pass them on to someone else, OK by me.   Otherwise they go to Goodwill.     

[Jerkbiat]

Thanks boys!  This is an aggressive cataract, not the normal clouding. Last march my right eye was a -.75 and when I had my evaluation 3 weeks ago it was a - 4.25. When I look at certain objects, like the moon in the sky. I see a cluster of 3 out of my right eye. The left eye is just starting they said, but doing alright.

[mike89]

so I hear a truck went out on a lake in Meeker county, Big Swan?  and it went to the bottom of the lake..  two older fellers..

pretty sad. icehawk just posted an excellent report........ said he was done going on the ice here south............... odd just the other day that Rick posted once you get on the ice there was 2 feet yet.

[mike89]

yes but every lake is going to be different too..  springs, currents etc.....

[Bobberineyes]

A guy at work was up on Winnie little over 3 weeks ago and measured 30" of ice. Tgat Sundin fella is saying 20", I have hard time believing it lost tgat much in such a short time.

[Gunner55]

 I was on Winnie, Highbanks, the end of January & it was closer to 24" where we were. We went out to the end of their road, 4.5 miles. They told us they had just been able to plow that far out.

[Bobberineyes]

Momma tells me to tell Glenn ta bring your flotation device,  might be his only way on da ice after the warm spell..

[Gunner55]

He'd need at least 1 more of those!

Morning fellers.... No precipitation yet... Off to da north land.

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 25 here this am heading for mid 30s today. Getting ready to head to the doc. Need to be there by 8:30 this morning. I went and moved my little fish house out of its spot last night. Figured it would be melted in some from the warm and sun. Wasn't to bad, but I gave it a guy before it froze down. Well, just another day in paradise. Have a good one boys.

[Jerkbiat]

Have fun Glenn!
