Good Morning!!!!!!

[Dotch]

Mornin' gang! 28 outside & 62 inside. Heading for a high in the low 40's. Had a great evening visiting Canadian friends. Took them veggies as a peace offering. Wonderful discussion on COVID. Between the 4 of us, we could solve this crap in a matter of days.  Looking for firewood today again. Time to manufacture some bacon, eggs & taters 1st. Ta ta, aye?

morning fellers.......35 when i looked. got the paper, that wasnt there  SOB's. that north breeze made it chilly.  thinkin i need to vacum dog hair, bet you cant guess what color either,  out of the truck and play with leaves...that'll be this afternoon.

yea deadeye, i know exactly why they dont.  driving in st cloud can be something else. there's a reason st cloud has 2 of the worse intersections in the state.

Morning boys.  Camper is all buttoned up and ham, eggs, cheese, onion omelets done too.  Got a rack of ribs thawing out to smoke today.  Fun Sunday thing for us.  (me)  lol  Got a lot of brush trimming done yesterday so it is easier to pull the fish house down our river path.  Found another Buckthorn too I believe.  Cut it down of course.  Next year I am going to buy some spray that I heard works on dogwood etc if you spray the trunk/roots right after you cut them.  ???  Mayhaps Dotch knows more about it.  No Vikes today so will just channel surf and see what attracts my attention.  Was 26 this morning and it is 34 now.  You all have a great day.

We quit our local paper probably 5 years ago for the same reason. We never got it because they didn't pay enough so anyone would do it.

i'm getting to that point............. and of course there business hours are M-F!!!!! 

[deadeye]

LPS,
Here it is. The chemical you need to see is "Triclophyr"
I put it full strength in a squirt bottle and spray it on the cut stems. Or just hack into it 4-5 places and squirt the cuts.

[LPS]

Thanks DE.  I will order some. 

[Dotch]

Triclopyr is THE product. Can do the spray bottle thing or I keep a little in a plastic jar with a paint brush in it to paint the stump. Good on grapevines that are getting out of control in spots. I put a cup worth in the jar 5 years ago & it still isn't empty.

[LPS]

Great!  We do have some grape vines that are getting heavy too.  Just in spots not everywhere.  Good to know. 

[LPS]

A qt was $41 and a gallon is $71.  I ordered the gallon.  The wife was happy when I said it killed grape vines.  She will be spraying the heck out of them.  lol.  Thanks youse guys.  Now I hope Warshington and Taylor Heineke beat the Packers. 

[Dotch]

Find where the grapevine is rooted, cut it with the loppers or saw, paint or spray the cut stump = grapevine gone.

Happy monday morning gents,chilly 33degrees out the door,sure felt like snow yesterday cold n damp...caved in gettin ready for winter,hummingbird feeders came down,snow plow hung on the wheeler,cleaned out the garage,it's amazing how much crap a guy collects then shoves in the corner...never thro nothin away you might use down the line that never gets touched again,next job is r&r the lawn mower's,not much use this summer but oil change,blade sharping doesn't hurt.

yesterday evening watching the line of rain along the iowa border it looked like the front was held back along I90 ,looked like a good soaking.

Gonna be a long day,up all night,couldn't tune my mind off,last time check was 0230 then up at 4am.

[mike89]

mornin all, 35 here and hopin for 48..  have an appointment for labs this morning..  Doc wants blood to check my numbers..  should mow one more time, to cut up the leaves mostly...  we will see...  other than that who knows what today brings!!  have a good day all!!   

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 34 this morning next to the lake and 27 in Williams TWC said. Heading for 48 today they are saying. Well the grandkids are all home now and back to work I am. A full 5 day work week this week it will be. Not much else happening here. Maybe look for some "Lets go Brandon" T-shirts.  Need to get one of those. Otherwise just another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  A brisk 28 here.  Went fishing for awhile yesterday and only caught 1 nord.  Not enough current to bring the big waves of eyes upriver this year evidently.  Didn't see any other nets out neither.  Maybe early yet. ???  Need bread so have to hit the grocery store today and may go to the landfill too.  Have some old wire in my trailer from taking that section of fence down.  May go fishing if it doesn't get too windy.  We need fish.  Cooper is all riled up this morning.  lol 

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, 34* for our start & it appears we may get close to 50*. Got the tiller started again yday & it ran better so I'll give that a shot again today. Started messin around with the leaves but they were comin down almost as fast as I could move 'em, so that'll have to wait. I see some more time in the boat again today before the wind gets too bad. That's it from this neck of the woods, enjoy your day!!

[markn]

May vac up a load or two leaves today, clean the garage and wash the side by side. thinking about it that may take two days. Later.....

[glenn57]

morning fellers........gotta go visit the vampire shop this afternoon. damn they can be persisent buggers when they want your blood!!!!

first a visit with mom..........

got the majority of the black walnut leaves ands stems under control, but the other tree have barely shed anything. looks like a wet wed and thursday, that may help!!!!!

Gunner........the trees up there gotta about be nekked by now, not???????

[Jerkbiat]

There are still alot of trees up here with leaves on let and some still green. It is crazy weird this year.

really........who da thunk that!!!!!!! yea goofy crazy year.

[mike89]

well went and donated some blood for the A1C results...  hoping they are respectable numbers...   stopped at Markn's place and his new man shed is really nice!!!  he did a great job!!   was nice to visit with him too!!!   turns out we know some of the same people too!! 

and Glenn the leaves here are still mostly on the tree's yet too!!  that's mable's, apple and birch tree's...  oaks too.. 

[glenn57]

It's really wired here. My black walnut tree is almost barren. My maples are still mostly full of leaves, but other maples in the neighborhood are still like mine, or mostly barn of leaves or darn close.

[Dotch]

Afternoon gang from Flanders ON! 26 at 8 a.m. and topped out in the low 40's. A few snowflakes here and there but it's cleared out now. Still some leaves here and there on the popple and birch up here too. Was surprised. Imagine I'd better get back at it. Column written so better help Bill finish splitting wood. Then it'll be HH for one last time here...

[mike89]

mornin all, was thinking about mowing some leaves today, but they are saying the wind is going to around 30 mph and plenty higher today..  so will have wait and see maybe...  37 now..   I did get the Harley put away at my friends for the winter, it is time...  had some good rides, and what fall colors were out there were great!!  have a good day all!!   

[snow1]

Another cool morning here out the door,33 degrees,might break out the winter coat soon at this rate,loaded up on kerosene yesterday for the garage heater,boy has the price per gallon jumped but what can we do? except thank slow joe.

Stopped at our local grocery store late yesterday,this cool weather has making "chili" on my mind,was suprised to see toilet paper and paper towel shelves were empty...here we go again.

Later.
