glenn, If you get down my way, stop in a pick a few buckets full. I've been hauling them out for a while now. 

[glenn57]

  thanks deadeye, but I have a hell of a time convincing myself to go to st cloud nowadays .

Iffin I ain't going north it's not appealing to me lately.

Mornin' comrades! 60 at choretime heading for a high in the low 80's. Rain missed us at the ranch & in Bugtussle earlier this a.m. but just off to the west there was up to .6". Greater chance of rain here tonite again. Heading to Black River Falls for our fall cruise tomorrow. Kind of a brief 1 day deal but should be a good time. None of the octogenarians are going so that takes a lot of the stopping every 20 minutes to go to the bathroom nonsense out of the equation. Better get at it here. Things to see and people to do...

I did get the West wall done yesterday. A lot of work when you’re by yourself, out of shape and fat. Pretty stiff and sore, but it will be alright. Going to make a run to Osakis to pick up a recoil pad for my Baretta today and get ready to head to Hubbard Co tomorrow. Have a great day all, later……

Mornin gents, 60 here when I went down to the boat & 65 will be our high. I kept 3 today & had quite a few nice gills too but they went back, 1 was 9 3/4". The electricians were here yday so we were busy clearing out the shed for 'em early. Was just out there rearranging things & it started pouring ~ 9:30. 'Bout it here, have a good 1.

[glenn57]

Da Smurf scored!! $39.00 later 3 different types of apples a jar of wild blueberry preserves and a jar of black cherry preserves.

Had a sample of each apple on the drive home. Harland was the best.
Macintosh and Lakeland apples. They were all good

Evening peoples,  arrived lakeside bout 4:45 or so. We beat the storm systems out, but the oldest just arrived a little bit ago and he had to run the wipers as fast as they would go. I'll be surprised if we get the boat off the lift in the morning, the water is so friggin low. Kinda nice tho,  not a ripple on the lake and no boats!! Unlike the summer months.  The Ash and Basswood trees are bright yellow already with the Maples and Oak still green but the drought sure has knocked off lots of leaves especially the driveway in the woods. Anywho if we fight the boat off we'll be doing some jigging with some swim jiggers and perhaps some top water until we yake the boat out and lift tomorrow,  sad how fast the year went. Anywho....See ya!!!

[mike89]

good luck Bobber!!!!   

[glenn57]

Yep good luck buddy. Just keep the cooking toba bare minimum so momma leaves you alone so you have enough stamina get that stuff outta da water!!

[LPS]

That is so cool Bob.  I am envious.  Say hi to the kids from us. 

[Dotch]

Watch Mrs. Boober closely so she doesn't slip any blue non-Aleve pills in your drinks...

[glenn57]

Morning fellers... get up!!! getting ready to work the store. Going in on a Saturday sure kinda screwed up my days.

  and  are on the agenda this afternoon.

Got a nice rain during the night. Sure thundered and lighting a lot during the night, can't remember the last time it did that

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 50 here and heading for around 70 today. Just waiting for the wife to get out of bed. Then we will be heading for Devils Lake. Need to help the kid move a shed. Had HH over at the neighbors last night. So may need to pry her out of bed this morning  . Have a good one boys.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  It is thick fog out there and the deck is so wet it may be from the fog or else we got a shot of rain too.  ??  49 here and should hit 76 later.  83 for tomorrow.  I let Jake sleep in bed with Cooper and I last night.  All went well.  That may be the program from now on.     Gophers play at 11 this morning so won't get anything to big started before that.  May hit the river afterwards.  We shall see.  Have a nice run to Devils Lake JB.  Have a good one everyone.

.7 of rain over night here

[markn]

Truck is loaded just need to toss in the bag full of Dewalt tools and batteries, twist the key and go. Did have lightening and thunder here around 1:30 rain gauge says just under 1.50". Probably have to cut grass next week. Got to go, later....

[Gunner55]

Mornin guys, 58 here & shootin for 70 later. No fog here, I hear southern Itasca County's a different story though. Doing the Ditch Cop thing today, the lake association picks up a 2-mile section on each end the lake twice a year & we usually help, if we're around. We'll need the knee-high boots today, I'm afraid. Pretty bright out about 6 when I went down to the boat with that full moon & not many clouds. Had 3 & a bunch of gills but I didn't feel like cleaning any today, so they went back. No more now, have a great day.

[roony]

Just shy of 90 here.

[mike89]

Just shy of 90 here.

[Gunner55]

Mornin all, 64 here already & headed for 82, kind of breezy too. They had quite a few for ditch cleanup yday, so it went pretty fast. Need to mow a little today as well. 'Bout it here, have a good 1.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  63 cloudy and windy here.  Hard to believe but they are saying 84 today and tomorrow.  Some chance of rain here and my barometer is saying rain too.  We shall see.  May we have a lot of leaves on the ground.  I need to mow in spots by the house where it gets longest.  Tomorrow.     Got the shower door caulked yesterday.  Will see how it worked today.  Watching the Vikes win today.  That will be fun.  LOL   Got to go.  Later.

[glenn57]

thinkin we got moms car sold!!!!!!! not sure what i got going today yet, but will figure it out.

[LPS]

I just about had a fire but didn't get around to it.  The wife comes home today so time to clean up the house some.  Haven't made the bed since she has been gone.  Looks like a tangled mess with Cooper, Jake, Bob and me rolling around in it.  The wife will have to fight for her spot back.  LOL  I never did grill the 20 oz NY Strip as I decided to have it tonight with the wife.  I have it all spiced up and ready for action.  Well see ya later, have a great day.

[roony]

My daughter in law was all set to run in the marathon. I would have thought they could have cancelled the event sooner since they knew a few days ago it was going to be warm. Lots of people trained, traveled, had hotel expense only to have it canceled at the last minute.

[glenn57]

anyone else notice?????/ yesterday afternoon when the sun came out the west side of my house was swarmed by them friggin box elder bugs and asian beetles!!!!!!! needless to say there are alot of deceased ones now!!!!!!

[mike89]
