Good Morning!!!!!!

[Dotch]

Mornin' comrades! 67 at choretime heading for a high in the upper8 80's. Forecast sounds like a broken record lately. Cool down somewhat tomorrow with a better chance of rain, still only 40% however. Got rained on yesterday afternoon at a graveside service near Geneva. At home, nothing. Cracks in the yard in places so a rain would be welcome. Watering the garden is overrated. Need to go look at some beans today as the dicamba deadline is looming on the calendar. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to see that product go away. Too many people misusing it & problems even when they don't.

Good luck on whatever you decide Barry. We had a Border Collie pup as part of a litter one time that had a swallowing disorder. Didn't dare sell him so we kept him. Gus was a gorgeous dog, well marked with a beautiful coat. One ear up and one ear down with a great big tongue. Made you laugh looking at him. A big marshmallow. Great companion & loved riding in the pickup with the AC on. Didn't like to be in the house especially in the winter as he got too warm under all that fur. Slept in the garage where it was 50 degrees. He developed seizures that were sporadic and tragically was one he didn't recover from. Even though he didn't live the easiest life, wasn't sorry we had him for 7 years.

  Here he is.  Dylan or Dillon is high on the list of names so far.

   

Jake it is.  Will pick him up on Sat the 17th.  I can't believe the timing is so great!

[Bobberineyes]

He's a great looking pooch Dotch,  I don't know how those thick coat dogs do it in this heat. The whipper snappers golden retriever looks 90 #, get him wet and he's super skinny, fury nasty I call him..lol. Then again they say the under coat keeps em cool. Ya lps he's a dandy,  hope his big brother plays nice. Think after our Yellowstone trip this year I'll get a little more serious on litters, not sure what color yet but it'll be female this time around,  Mazy will be her name.

[mike89]

[glenn57]

[glenn57]

talking about flies..bull flies, horseflies whatever. your not saying the friggin horseflies and deer flies are out in force already are you!!!!!!!

when my kid came to the cabin over memorial weekend he brought one of those fly traps up and set it up. told him it doesnt work up here. he got it at Menards. he stopped by last night.........he said when he cleaned it out it had 2 inches of dead flies in it!!!! made a liar outta me i guess!!!!

i tried that years ago but only later in the year and it didnt work well..........the flies i tried getting rid of are those ankle biting SOB's that like to attack you in the boat.

[Bobberineyes]

Yep we have 2 traps I havnt put out yet, sometimes they work sometimes they don't. I'll never associate the 2 Glenn, ( Miley and Mazy) won't even think you thought of that.  No matter how a dog looks,she'll  still be better looking than that thing you old farts touch yourself over...lol.

Yes the big bull flies are out in force. We have even seen a couple deer flies here. I killed one this afternoon sitting out on the patio. And we have never had deer flies up here. Get south of Williams in the forest they are all over.

[Dotch]

1st day the deer flies have pestered me in the fields today

[mike89]

deer flies were trying to get friendly her the last couple days too...  they have been loosing the battle overall!!!   

[mike89]

mornin all, 63 and going to 83 today..  and very gray looking morning too..  a small chance for rain today..  going down to Sartell for a periodontal visit..   then a couple other stops on the way home...   have a good day!!   

[LPS]

Morning boys.  We have 61 and sunny here.  Gonna be about 84 today.  Got some mowing done yesterday and wasn't too bad.  Must be getting used to this August weather.  May spray some more doc if it isn't too windy otherwise I need to cut some firewood.  Cooper had a little swollen eye yesterday so one of those darn bull flies must have got him whilst I was mowing.  The last few days with him the only dog he has been hanging even closer to me.  He gets back in bed after the wife lets him out and keeps touching me with his paw so I won't go back to sleep.  LOL  That is fine with me.  He is catching squitos in his mouth lately too.  Good boy. I see the wind is picking up.  May be down in the 70's this weekend so that will feel great!  Forgot to mention that we got another 1/4" of rain lasst night.

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 63 here and heading for 80ish today. The wife is off to work and I am sitting here watching the lake. The leaves on the trees are moving pretty good. Lake is not to wavey yet though. About it here. Have a good one boys.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gents, 67 now & goin for 86 later. There's a chance of rain ~ 9 but an even better chance for early this afternoon. Ran into a road block on our project when we started yday, so we've put it on hold for a bit. 'Bout it here, stay & have a good day.

[markn]

[Dotch]

Mornin' comrades! 71 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-80's. No rain but could see it rainging around us again. Actually it rained to our east during chores last nite, cooling it down enough so I felt like moving electric fence around the garden. Just got my copy done & emailed so now I can get on with the rest of the day. Rain chances stand at 40% mainly after lunch. Maybe I'll get wet while searching for armyworm larvae this afternoon. Not holding my breath.   

[mike89]

well made it down and back to Sartell, stopped at Manea's meats and got a couple porketta roasts and a couple sandwich's!!!   and then stopped at Coborn's and got some brandy, it was on sale to boot!!!   but the real kicker is I have a bad area by one front tooth...   will need surgery on it...  damn crowns...   not cheap at all either and no insurance...  oh well....   

[Gunner55]

Mornin guys, 64 presently & we're on our way to 77. Had a little rain ~ 9 yday but it was done by 10, so I'm sure we could use more. Got a dentist appt today & need to do some laundry too. No more now, have a good 1.

[mike89]

mornin all, 58 and going to 79 today...  about 1020 last night I heard thunder off in the distance..  heard some rain..   we got 2/10's over night...  better than nothing and we might get a bit more today...  not much going on today, so will just go it kind of day...   

[LPS]

Morning boys.  It is cloudy and windy here.  Only 58 and 77 will be the high for the next couple of days.  Got that pile of birch cut up yesterday.  Had to sit in the shade and take a few breaks but got er done.  Now I will split and stack it.  Again it is too windy to spray doc.  May rain here this morning too. JB may be getting it now.  Plenty to do so should keep me out of trouble.  So Mike just have them pull that front tooth and keep it that way.  The Mikey Strahan look.      Seriously I hope it is going to be ok.  Well you all have a good day.

[KEN W]

Morning.....64 here this morning. High of 87 this afternoon. Finally got a decent rain last night. Thunderstorms twice. Total of 1 1/2 inches in the gauges this morning. No gardening today.....muddy.

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 59 here and heading for 75 they say. No rain here yet, but it is on our door step. I was able to get a hose drug to the camper yesterday and filled the tank. Got the valves opened up to the water heater and purged all the lines of antifreeze. Also got the tire pressure checked last night on the camper and pickup. Also put the gennys in and changed the 1 empty propane tank. About it here. Have a good one boys.

[Jerkbiat]

Afternoon comrades! 68 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 70's. Smoke from Quebec today so a lot of haze. Heading back out momentarily to look at some more soybeans. The staggered planting and saturated soils have caused a lot of extra headaches. Can't wait to get thru this stretch. Farmers are back to driving me crazy. Getting like Ground Hog's Day around here...
