Mornin' comrades! 50 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 70's. Saw some corn being planted yesterday so will be keeping an eye on it with the cooler weather ahead. Keeping the beard one more weekend markn. Wife hates it too but I remind her she's generally not the one busting her assets for hours at a time when it's colder than billy hell. I'll need to take it off soon though as I got some sun the past couple days. I'll look like heap big paleface if I wait much longer. Good luck to yer wife on her surgery boar. I'm sure glenn is on his way up there to help you out. Or at least drink yer beer.

Afternoon peoples,  83 here yet. Man I can't believe how dry things got in a week.  Talked to a driver otta Iowa today and he was saying they are planting in full force down yonder . We have our yearly mandatory Saturday inventory tomorrow,  yippee at least it'll be crappy outside  so I won't be missing anything around here anyhow.  Probably hit FF sometime this weekend fer fishin licensing and some more jigs. Sure hope da wife's surgery went well Boar!! Gotta be tough for both of ya. Dotch n Markn will be getting carded once again at the gin n beer store after losing their winter coats  .  Best run...See ya!!!

[glenn57]

we had a little shot of rain here but did it ever cool down. it was 56 a little bit ago.

gotta tell ya this, the friends we have from Monticello have a wedding to go to tomorrow. the gals wife's son from a previous marriage.

the son has been with this gal for quite awhile, had a few kids. about 2 years ago they got married by a JP.  now they're going full all out, bridesmades ring bearers flower girls......the whole works. big reception at some downtown Minneapolis venue, you name it. only to get married again by a JP!!!!! now this is my own opinion but the amount of money thats getting totally pissed away to get married again by a JP is just downright stupid.....but hey not my money!!!!!!!

we got invited, but only to the reception afterward.......guess the venue has a 200 person limit and they were close to or exceeding that, so we could just go to the reception.  i told Sue no way in hell i'm going down there for just a reception.

[mike89]

I wouldn't go either...   and yup the money folks are spending now days is insane!!!   

common sense is gone.................

[Bobberineyes]

So you guys got invited just to the dance, after dinner, Tough call. So what's the difference of a justice of the peace and a ordained minister doing the ceremony? Saving a few bucks? Both end up with the same results,  marriage certificate being signed.  I guess if they already are married might as well skip the legal stuff and throw a party.

[fishwidow]

Coulda been worse. You coulda been invited to just the wedding and not the reception.

why do it twice?? all the cash they pissed away, Yea throw a party, but not at some high end venue in Minneapolis, guessing the Radisson there staying at ain't cheap either. Grooms dinner tonight. Guess mom has friends that have a place in Puerto Rico and paying there way there

Like I said  someone else's $$$$ so no hair off my  I just think it is foolish.

[glenn57]

  it's official... My yard is now ice and snow free!!

[Gunner55]

  Too warm to stay but we might get 2" over the weekend, could try & send you some.

Morning boys.  I am up early so coffee is brewing and dogs are fed.  So with this 4 day rain event that started Thursday we have gotten a few drops and that's it.  Still saying rain today but I don't even see anything on the radar.     It is 34 and very cloudy now.  Will take the tracks off today and go buy some oats.  Then probably watch the Twins this afternoon.  Ya people spend 10 or 20 grand on weddings and I think it is absolutely nuts.  Just think of all of the other peoples lives that are upended for an event like that too.  I don't get it.  Elope and save everyone the hassle.  Enjoy your Sat. everyone.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, 46 here & we should make 56 before the day is over. We had some thunder ~ 5 & getting  a little light rain now. 'Sposed to be done by 8 or so but there's more in the forecast for around 6 tonight. Got a couple little things for right away today & will go from there. Hopin your Saturday's a good 1.

[mike89]

mornin all, 35 here and might get to 40, not sure...   saying some white stuff tonight..  not much...  kids got here and we had a great evening...  egg bake is going into the over in a few minutes!...  got a couple things to do today after they leave...   have a good day all... 

[glenn57]

morning fellers......had some thunder and lightning last night about ni-nite time. Sue said it poured pretty hard during the nite...i was sleeping!!!

with the word out that my brother is bringing me mater plants next week i set out buckets for rain water.........all 5 are plump full!!!!!!!!!  from my experience means we had at least 3/4 inch of rain overnight!!!!

well momma left me unsupervised for the day and nite!!!!!! got a bunch of projects i'm gonna be checking off the list today. finish cleaning windows......unload the boat.......and put the heavy winter boots and clothing away!!!!!!!

Morning boys. 35 here and supposed to be in the 40s with a chance of rain like LPS said. Certainly haven't gotten the rain like they forecasted. Ya, spending big money on a wedding is a big waste of money. Seems like most of them end up splitsville anyway. We had a small group and went to the judge in Anoka county then went out to dinner after. We put the money we won have spent on the wedding into our first house instead. Well, I made it out yesterday afternoon for the final day of walleye season and it was pretty good. My smallest walleye was 15" and even got a bonus pike to. Nicest fish I have had all season. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

nice batch of fish JB!!!!   good for you!!!

[glenn57]

  thats some mighty fine eating there JB!!!!!!!!

the first time i got married we had the big shindig...........that was back in about 1978. yep didnt last but was a church wedding, had a reception at a Moose lodge!

when Sue and i got married in 1990 we got married by  JP on our deck. had a party afterwards in the garage. we cooked up a nice grilled meal for immediate family. other friends where invited for the party think we did sloppy joes. we paid for it ourselves. the booze bill was $600.00 not sure what food cost us.  while we where out and about we'd play pulltabs........all the proceeds went to fund our wedding!!!!!!.........and here we are 33 years later still puttin up with each other!!!!!

[mike89]

yea my first one was in the church for her..  9 years later I had enough...   met my next love, married in a friends back yard in the country, no gifts unless it was for the meal..  spent very little on that one!!!   lasted for over 30 years til she passed away from cancer...  not ever going for #3!!!

You guys are making me feel old. In July it will be 43 years for us. On a happier note we are doing Easter at our place today. Fill my face with ham and tators. Then later the dinner buns with too much butter and more ham. Yum. Later.....
