[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 1 above here and heading for a high of 22 today. I got my big fish house pulled into shore yesterday afternoon and moved the little one to a new spot . After that the wife and I hopped on the bearcat and went for a little ride. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

Morning fellers. Looks like JB and I are the only ones up and attem to give'r hell already.

14 when I. Looked! As LPS says summer will be here before you know it!!

[Jerkbiat]

Mike, did you learn anything good at the townhall yesterday?

[mike89]

that was Mark JB, did a good morning post already but must have not hit post...   12 here and going for 32 today...  got a few things to do today..   have a good day!!   

[Gunner55]

Mornin gents, 6 here & we're headed for 31, I guess. Need a few things & the roads could be crappy on Wednesday, so we're headed to GR today. No more now, have a good 1.

[Bobberineyes]

Mornin peoples 25 now but was 35 when I came in. We have strong gas smell coming from the main building here so they evacuated us all. Sitting outside fer bout 30 minutes, sure wish der was a biffy out here tho...

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Bobb mayhaps someone had too much kraut the other day.  I hope that situation gets taken care of.  Are you at home where this is happening or at work?  Must be work.  Well I don't know what to think about this snow forecast.  It is pretty general and not real specific for our area from what I see.  Thinking it may be south of us.  I got us all cleaned up so would be nice to keep it this way.  Flood chances are rising for the state with all of this snow now.  Well not a lot on my itinerary today.  Just watching spring happening.  Today is the first day of spring you all know.  It is just a little brighter today.  LOL  Have a good one.

We did 120 miles yesterday on the snowmobiles. Trails were in very good shape. Stopped in Verndale for lunch at the Pirate's Cove (I think). Good eats there. Hopefully get some ice off the driveway today before it snows again tomorrow.
JB, I went to the Gun Caucus meeting on Saturday in Osakis. Every gun owner should contact their senator and rep. and let them know they need to vote again all of these new bills within the next two weeks before they go out for recess. Two quick examples. SAFE STOREAGE bill where you have to keep your firearm and ammo separate places locked up. You'll be dead before you can protect yourself if someone breaks into your house. UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. If you and I are at the trap range and you would like to try using my shotgun to see if you like it. You'll nee to go to the sheriff and do a background check, up to 10 working days, if you pass you can shoot it. When you give it back to me I need to go into sheriff's office and do a background check, 10 working days, before I can get it back. This is two small examples of the five bills they covered. It's just the tip of the iceberg. Enough of my soapbox for now. Later.....

[LPS]

What a crazy idea they both are.   

[Bobberineyes]

Well they figured it out,  just in time for lunch break....see ya!!

[Jerkbiat]

What a crazy idea they both are.   

Right. They dream up this crap and who is going to enforce it??? I see our Sheriff has joined the Gun caucus opposing all these lame brain bills.

Mornin' comrades! 28 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 30's. Gotta make a feed run again as they got the feed in they were short of Saturday. Not their fault. The supplier didn't have the results of the copper test back in time for them to ship the pallet of feed. That's fine too as any added copper in sheep feed will kill them as they can't metabolize it. All it takes is someone pushing the wrong button at the plant & Houston, we have a problem. Luckily we had enough feed to get by until tonite. Will head there before going into town. Their gas price was cheaper than anyplace else I'd seen too so will probably fill up whilst I'm at it. Thanks markn for the heads up. I knew about the 1st one but had no idea how stupid they were on the 2nd one. I should've guessed. Absolute fools with no concept of what it's like to live out here where when seconds count, the cops are a half hour away. I'd probably still have a skunk running around in my barn if not for the shotgun I keep loaded for just such occasions.   

[markn]

In the five bills they discussed Saturday each has multiple provisions in them. So it was 15-20 laws in just these five. We were told this upcoming vote on these bills will be close.

[glenn57]

afternoon fellers..........think a nap is in order!!!!!!!!

[LPS]

Yup, felt great!

We need to get them to do more town halls up her in our neck of the woods.

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 4 above here and heading for 31 today. We are under a winter storm warning now for tonight into tomorrow. Time will tell I guess. About it from here. Just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

mornin all, 16 here and going into the low 30's again...   still yapping some snow...  about it for now...   

[LPS]

Morning boys.  9 here.  Looks clear so far.  Also just waiting for the big snowfall tonight.  Better go get a few things at the grocery store in case we get snowed in for a few days.  lol  It will be melting soon. 

[Gunner55]

Mornin guys, 10 here & goin for 34 later. Snow starting around 7 or 8 predicted here too. They've been back & forth between 3 & 5 " for the last day or so. Guess we'll find out soon enough. Kind of busy in town yday but we were back here by ~ 1. It looks like it's another roll with it kind of day here, have a good day.

[markn]

I did get some snow and ice scraped out of the driveway yesterday. Brother texted, he works for a cabinet maker just down the road from me, and asked if I needed a couple of 7' tall tower cabinets they recently removed from a house. Of course I said yes. Went over to pick them up and I asked the boss how much he needed for them. His reply was "free". My favorite price. Planning on putting backs of them and then making a half closet (with shelves) to hang heavy jackets, bibs, ect. in and all shelves back in the other for two cycle oil, oil yard chemicals and the sort. Tha small one might be for cordless tools. More coffee, later....

[mike89]

was just watching a small doe eating off the cedar tree in the neighbors yard a bit ago...   kind of fun!!!

[glenn57]

damn Mark you get all the good free deals!!!!!!!!! 

morning fellers.........sure didnt sleep worth a dang last night. been thinking with all the crap going on i may just nix the trip north. i have some thinking to do!!!!! got a few things to do other then hang by my phone. hate it.

[Dotch]

Afternoon comrades! Started out at 28 during chores and saw as high as 49 so far. Sounds like some precip on tap for tonite then sloppy, wet snow tomorrow nite. Nothing like what's supposed to happen to the north, this time. Usually we get our turn in the barrel, about the time people start to think they can maybe start working ground. Works almost every time. In the meantime, we've lost a lot of snow today in these parts. Can definitely see we got more out of the blizzard at the ranch back in Feb. Still more snow out that direction vs. Bugtussle. More mud too. Always nice to have a place to put stuff, markn. 

[Bobberineyes]

Afternoon peoples,  yeah not much for uncovered ground here, some rain would help that out, although looking at the neighbors yard it must be going down cuz I can see more dog chit daily,  God I hate that.  Anywho been on da phone wrangling new insurance for da cabin, done deal. It's funny tho taking over the bills for the place the electric has gone up 2 bucks every month since December,  with nobody there! Gotta be a faulty Democrat is what I'm going with..Anywho spose I better do something besides sitting..See ya!!

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 21 here and a couple inches of fresh snow overnight. Heading for a high of 32 today. Sounds like the wind will pick up later and blow the snow around. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[Gunner55]

Mornin all, 30 last I looked here & headed towards 33. It looks a little more like 5" for us, so that'll be my 1st project today. Not sure what else is headed my way yet today so just gonna play it by ear. Hopin your Wednesday's a good 1.

[mike89]

mornin all, 26 this morning and cloudy...   try to get to 30 today..  maybe an inch of snow..  but ice I have no idea yet..  so no errands this morning, wait till tomorrow for them..  when the sun peaks out I'll have a better idea what I have to do outside..  have a good day all... 

[markn]

Roads were pretty crappy last night on the way home from Carlos. Light rain was coming down on top of the snow. Ish. May have to go to Menards to pick up a couple sheets of OSB to cover the back on the new cabinets. The rest I'll cut in half for sheeting the top of the other two walls in the garage later this Spring. Easier to store them at 4'x4' too. Sounds like enough for, need to leave something for tomorrow, right lps? Got my welding bench done too. Here's pictures of "before" and "after". Later.....

[LPS]

Morning boys.  That is a perfect welding table Mark.  Good job.  It is 23 here and we got about 3" maybe by looking at the wife's tracks.  Pretty thick cloud cover yet.  Will get it plowed up this morning after coffee and sausage and eggs.  Took the wheeler and the boys out for a ride on the river last night.  Lots more snow out there than what there was.  Glad I got the fish house off when I did.  You all have a good day.  Don't overdo the shoveling.  Nothing wrong with taking a break.
