Morning boys. 68 here this morning heading for md 70s again today. Had a nice strong wind off of the lake all nice. Kept it nice and cool in the house. Supposed to get some rain today. We shall see. Big line of storms in the eastern Dakotas pushing into Minny. See if they hold together. Dogs sure can be a treat sometimes Snow. I can imagine all of his colorful names.  Well just another day in the salt mines. Have a good squeak free Friday boys.

mornin all, wind just started cranking hard..  pontoon on the lake played hard to get back to shore even..  hope the humidity goes down today..  supposed to get some rain today but they are saying only small chances..  darn..  have a good day all!!   

[markn]

Rain is done here already, maybe quarter inch. Hopefully we get some more today. Not sure what is going to get done today. Outside all day yesterday and got pretty drained so I think maybe a nap may help. later... 

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Was supposed to start raining here at 7 am but is now pushed back to 2 pm.  We shall see.  Thought about sleeping in the camper tonight.  The wind is really blowing here now.  Thinking it may be a good day to cook something.  You all have a great Friday.

Mornin boys, 66* at 1st glance & only the mid -upper 70"s are 'sposed to be the high. I see our precip has now been pushed back 'til mid afternoon. There's nothing on the need to do list, so I'll have to see what jumps out at me later. Have a good day!!

[snow1]

Oh joy,call from senior care,my dad is hold'd up in some old gals room,won't leave,said old gal is his wife,my mother who passed 5 years ago,old boy has threatened the staff if they come in,heading over to settle things down (I hope),second thoughts of aging here after all this grief.

[Dotch]

Mornin' gang! 75 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 80's. Raining west of us about 30 miles but most of the forecasts aren't giving it much chance of getting this far east. Except at roony's. They always get rain there. Had our car club meeting in town last nite. Come to find out the A&W in Faribault didn't have indoor seating open. No help. Rather than feed the biting flies & listen to all the bitching, we opted for The Willows in town. Food and service were great. Everyone had a good time in the AC.

[mike89]

oh my!!  good luck snow!!! 

[Dotch]

Not fun snow. Don't envy you. Altho a few years ago there were some of the rather attractive female employees of one Albert Lea care center got caught giving HJ's to some of the male residents. Amazing how many area guys were suddenly trying to get in there! 

[roony]

Drove to Dotch country to see my mother. Wet pavement and puddles here. Not a damn drop at home. Who always gets all the rain?

[mike89]

rain west of here, maybe a 1/10 th here.... 

[Dotch]

.05" in Bugtussle

Squat at the ranch.

[roony]

Zero point zero in God's country.

Afternoon boys.  I just got a nice email from the Park Service saying that there will no longer be a gate closed at Noma and they are actually taking the gates completely out.  I thanked them very much.  I like that.     

[roony]

Did they mention tents at all?

[mike89]

mornin all, 56 at this time and very nice...  sure was a nice day over all yesterday...  only ended with less than 1/10 of an inch of rain...  maybe next time..  got a few things going on today so it should be a good day...   have a good day all!!   

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 64 here going for high 70s today. Going to be somewhat breezy, 15-25 out of the west. So at least it will be off shore so we can get the boat out for the maiden voyage. That is the plan today. Spend the first 2 hours driving around getting started on the break in for the motor. Well, just another day in paradise. Have a good one boys.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, we had 63* early & 79* will be the high, lookin breezy here too. No rain here yday. Got a few things on the list for today too, have to see how far I can get. Hopin your Saturday's a good 1.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Yes tents will be allowed as long as they don't get in the way of RV's Roony.  LOL  Was going to spray doc today but windy already so will procrastinate one more day.  Nice morning.  May work on the inside part of our kennel.  Then if it rains the dogs can go inside the barn.  Have nice dog houses for them in there too.  Gonna boil up some bacon for BLT's for breakfast.   

[Dotch]

Mornin' gang! 61 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-80's. Very comfortable vs. what we had this past week. .05" of rain in Bugtussle yesterday with only a click beetle (adult wireworm) in the gauge at the ranch. He must've drank the 2 drops of water out of it. Contemplating cutting hay today if I can coax the neighbors to hook up their discbine. See a little rain got moved into our forecast on Wed. nite. Rather lay this cutting flatter & not rake it. Easier to round bale that way but it takes a little longer to dry. Need to scout the last handful of soybean fields. Also make a feed run and head to the grocery store. Asswipe supply has reached a critical level!

What do you know...  I saw one of those things just this morning crawling across the patio and wondered what it was.

[Dotch]

When I was growing up we were so poor my folks couldn't afford to buy us toys. I was forced to play with snakes, toads and insects. I spent hours flipping click beetles on their backs and watching them click to flip back over. I still spend hours flipping them over and, oh never mind...

[fishwidow]

When I was growing up we were so poor none of the other kids would play with me.  My mom would strap a pork chop bone around my neck so the neighborhood dogs would hang around with me. My hand me down shoes were so worn that I could step on a dime and tell whether it was heads or tails.

[roony]

We never had a TV so mom would turn the light on in the oven and my sister and I would watch stuff bake. TRUTH

[mike89]

mornin all, 61 this morning looking very nice again today... I did get what I wanted done yesterday and even some extra..  not sure what I have going today but I'll find something to do..  have a good day all!!   

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 60 here this morning and about 20 drops of rain. Barely enough to wet the patio. We finally got the new boat in the water yesterday after cutting the neighbors grass. They have not been here for a few weeks and it was ready to bail. Got about 3 hours of run time on the motor. It has a 10 hour break in period, but the first 2 hours are the most critical. Boat sure rides nice in the rough water. Hit some big waves with it. Only issue we are having is water is coming in from somewhere. And yes the drain plug was in. I am thinking that a drain line for the livewell may not have gotten hooked up at the factory. Only theory I have. But if we were sitting still in the water the bilge pump will kick on every 2-3 minutes. Something not right with that. Not sure what is on the agenda for today, but I will find a project to work on. Have a good one boys.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gents, we had 57* early &  they're talkin only the upper 70's again today. Too windy for my projects down at the lake yday so I found somethin else, maybe today. Got some friends from around Ashland that stopped by for a day or 2 on their way home. Neighbor's back too & he's got a couple things he'd like a little help with so I'll have to see where the day leads me. Have a good day.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  I got the doc sprayed yesterday and we got the room in the barn where the inside part of the kennel will be cleaned out.  Hauled a trailer full of stuff out to the road and people were taking things.  I even went and filled it up again.  Hope it is all gone by the end of the day.  Then we went to the camper and cooked brats over the fire and slept in the camper after we watched the Twins win.    It was a fun night.  Having coffee now and planning our day.  I was wondering how the boat was in all of that wind JB.  It was howling here.  You all have a good one.
