Good Morning!!!!!!

[mike89]

painted turtle laying her eggs out front tonight...   have not seen any snapping turtles yet....   

[glenn57]

my brother lives on the wisconsin river and has snapping turtles laying eggs on there shoreline alot. he always fenced that area off really good so the damn critters cant dig them up when they hatch he makes sure they get to the water safely.

wish  the heck we could do that at the cabin!!!!!!

well time to increase the water bill again!!!!!!!!!

Yes, markn did stop by the MDHA booth several times. We had some good conversations and he must have forgotten to harass me or at least I don't remember it. I would like to give a big shout out to the High School Clay Target League coaches. They have done a great job of teaching the team members to be respectful and act like adults. It was very refreshing to have that many youngsters in one place with NO yelling, fighting or general rudeness that usually is associated with a large gathering like this. I had the opportunity to have conversations with quite a few of the participants and every single one impressed me with their knowledge and willingness to interact in a normal, civil manner. There is hope for the future. I was impressed. Thank you, Coaches.

Thanks deadeye. You guys are “tops”. Like deadeye I’m very proud of all of the kids and parents we have had contact with this week plus.  Very respectful, all of them. Here’s my last two pictures, thanks for looking at them. (Click to enlarge). Later…

Morning boys. 71 here and supposed to get into the 90s today.  I guess luckily the wind is off of the lake again today so that will help. But it also means no fishing off of the dock. The wind has been blowing from some form of East since last Wednesday. If I feel ambitious today I may try and service the Ranger. Have a good one boys.

76 here already.....90's this afternoon. Hot and Windy.

[mike89]

[Scenic]

Good morning all.   Looks like its going to be a hot one the next couple days.  Beginning to think the big lake up north (Superior) might just be a bit cooler place to be.   

[glenn57]

Morning boys.  Yup 92 here today.  The wife just left for work.  Been fun having her home.  Retirement training.  Man I woke up during the night not feeling to good.  Will be a day of rest for me.  That pup is a full time job anyways.  He is doing great and we can tell Cooper is just loving it too.  Cooper put the run on a fox the other day.  He saw it in the pasture and the fox laid down to hide so Cooper got even closer before he ran for the woven wire fence to the east.  He wasn't far ahead of Cooper neither.  Fun for both of them.  Glenn you are the man!  The women in your life must appreciate you for it too.  Well try to have a good day, all of you.

Mornin boys, 65 at last glance here & we'll top out at 87, I'm hearin. Did get the lift straightened out but never touched the dock as the height looked good when I had the boat tied to it yday. I did move some sand in front of approach on the new shed too. Put down some rolls of EZ start seed on the east side, where we think it'll wash out the most, of the shed as well. Then had to give that a good long drink. I'll start out there again today. No more now, have a good 1.

Mornin' comrades! 64 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 80's. Got the sheep hauled to Zumbrota yesterday. Don't miss any of them especially the ram. Takes an hour and change to get there. Got to do some crop watching as a result. Looks OK that way but like the color of our corn better here even though it got pummeled by the rain earlier. Copy is written so off to look at some fields after a bit. Better keep going. More sheep to move tomorrow morning to the neighbor's pasture so need to get mentally prepared for that.

[roony]

We went up by White Bear Lake on Friday to meet my middle son's soon to be Mother in law. Seems a lot drier up there. Soil is a lot lighter I'm sure.

[LPS]

Just came in from outside.  It is brutal out today.  I sit in a lawn chair in the shade and let the boys play.  Not a good day to dawdle out there.  Drink plenty of water if you are out in it.  (Dotch)

[KEN W]

Just saw the map for air quality. Doesn't look good for south of here.

Noon today till 9:00 PM Thursday

100 degrees in Grand Forks.

[Scenic]

Good morning all.  Cooled off just a bit over night.  68 here this morning but heading in the 80s again.   Starting a garage demo that had a fire in it last winter.    I am thinking that is going to be a stinking hot sweaty mess.   But it will be great to just be done with it.  About all I got new going on.  Have a great day all !!!

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 69 here and heading for high 80s also. Made 92 here yesterday. Yuck. Heading to see the doctor today. So a trip to Grand Forks it will be. They will schedule my physical therapy when I am there. I am thinking I may need a cane for awhile to walk. Or 1 crutch. I have been doing that quite a bit the last couple of days. You boys have a good one.

[mike89]

After nine days of volunteering (working for the most part) Mark is going to play today. We are headed to Ashby this morning for sporting clays and golf league then back home for lunch and a nap. Then back to the trap range evening for a few relaxing rounds of trap with the high school kids before they head to Prior Lake tomorrow and the State Championship. The yard can wait, too hot to mow and that's my excuse. Have a great all, later....

[Gunner55]

Morning boys.  Man I am a hurtin unit today.  Don't know if I got food poisoning or the flu.  All night long I kept going to the bathroom with diarrhea and or vomiting.  I just got out of bed.  Just drank a glass of milk and will see how that lasts.  Later boys

Afternoon comrades! 64 at choretime heading for a high in the upper 80's. Another warmish one. Good thing we weaned lambs from ewes. Put 11 ewes to go with the 6 already in our pasture at home & 8 over at the neighbor's. They were ornery today. After we were done, one of them smashed thru a panel & decided it wanted to get back in the pen with the lambs. Set her on her butt & dragged her over to the gate. Flopped her on her side and using the George Floyd maneuver on her, managed to unwire the panel and stuff her sorry asset back thru it. Not a good idea to mess with me when I was lathered up. I put another steel post in to reinforce the panel and problem solved. Forgot to haul a mineral feeder over to the neighbors so will do that this afternoon. Need to look at his soybeans anyway. Good luck glenn & feel better Barry.

You can start complaining about all the damage Saturdays storms are going to cause.    Weather is kinda weird to say the least this year.
