Good Morning!!!!!!

[glenn57]

damn....i'm pooped. the rain has held off so i decided to get more black dirt. even with the rain overnight the dirt wasnt muddy at all. still got 6 buckets left.....i'll let mother nature do whatever it wants tonight, then fill it in again tomorrow. should have leftover dirt...i'll just toss it in the garden.

even got the old coffee cans of the maters and the cages around them. trimmed the bottom branches too!!!!!!

You'll hafta take a pic for us Glenn,  you seeding it? Afternoon peoples 80 and the atmosphere is juicey this away,  went out dragging deep running cranks this morning and got nuttin,  decided to go shallow with a weedless Johnson spoon tipped with a white mister twister tail and the little snot rockets couldn't resist. Caught 5 and missed several others, but everything got let free. Maisy keeps impressing me, her dock jumping she's really trying to out jump the older dogs, coming close but that'll come. With knowing that the collar means business she's been playing by the rules, except for the Cat, she just can't leave her alone. Broke out a frozen pigeon earlier and she went bonkers, had her heel while I chucked it in some shin high grass, although I shoulda had the .22 with, next time. Think tomorrow I'll drag it around and let her search for it in the woods. Gotta go, can Cooley is empty....See ya!!!

Of course the dog took center stage! yep, gonna seed it when I'm satisfied with the landscaping.

Good morning!   Looks like the rain might be done for today now.  Not supposed to be all that warm today. I think we got right around 5".  The lake came up nice.   Going to work in the shop today and see what kind of trouble projects I can get into.   Have a great day!! 

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 51 here and supposed to make 68 today. We got a little rain this morning. .06" . The lake is still ruff. The dock moved about 6 feet out at the end and about 3 feet on the shore end. Taking care of that will be a weekend project. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

mornin all, 55 here and hope to see 70 today..  saying as much as 4 inches in areas around here..  just over 2 1/2 here I'm guessing..  going over to Alex today and get a few things..  one being is check out a gas pump for the cans, like Gunner and Bobbers...  other than that not much else today..   have a good day all!! 

[LPS]

Morning boys.  It rained like heck in Bemidji whilst we were there yesterday.  On the way home they kept talking about the bad weather by Deer River and I hoped Gunner was ok.  They said if you are in a trailer to move to a better place.  We got about 1 1/2" in this last round.  Think I dumped 1/2" before that.  Will have to keep an eye on the dock now.  Have a good one.

Lenny and I need to go to town to fill up the truck with gas this morning, after that probably work on the boat some more. Alex kids are going to the state shoot in Prior Lake on Friday, hope they do well. For all that are interested and near-by, Mike Wiener who is a state rep. from district 5B and Judy Anderson from Guns Galore will be giving a presentation on current and upcoming Second Amendment laws at the community center in Osakis at 6:00 PM on Thursday. Got to go, later..... 

[Gunner55]

Mornin gang, 51 for our start & hopin to see 70. Kind of breezy already too. Hard to see even with my wipers on high between DR & Cohasset yday ~ 8:30 as it was already pouring. Rained pretty good comin back out here as well. Too wet for much of anything outside this morning, so I'll have to find a garage or shed project. No more now, have a good day.

[glenn57]

morning fellers......not sure how much rain if any in the overnight. looks dry this morning. guess i'll find out when me and da dawg do our morning walkabout.

Scenic.......Iowaboy texted me last night...yea he said the same thing. 5 inches of rain. said his bilge pump on his boat is automatic.....motor burnt up cause it was constantly running. he used a shop vav for the rest!!!!!

finish putting down the black dirt and getting the lawn cut are the top projects for the day. with more rain in the forecast thinking i'll wait till sunday to put the grass seed down!!!!

[Dotch]

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 60 at choretime heading for a high in the low 70's. .27" of precip overnite at the ranch with .28" falling in Bugtussle. Still too wet to do anything other than drive around and look at standing water from the road. Stick & branch pick up detail likely tonite. That way when it rains again tomorrow, Friday & Saturday, it'll dump another crop of sticks and branches before I can get the lawn mowed. Should head to the meat market today sometime to get something to create leftovers. Think my gin supply will hold. Hope so. Need to get mentally prepared to babysit the octogenarians again tomorrow. That wears me out. 😴

[mike89]

made it to Alex and back, didn't find any big bargains..   I did find the gas pump so no more hassle filling the lawn mower tank..  or any any other tanks!!!   thanks Bobber and Gunner for the idea...   

[LPS]

Did you get one of those things on wheels Mike?  I was going to ask Gunner about it too.  I thought he mentioned it before.  I have been thinking about it.  How do you get it in and out of the truck when you fill it?

I know mine ran for a good while too.  We got a good dumping.

[glenn57]

got the lawn cut.........man what a great day weather wise!!!!!!!

while on my route home driving past farm fields........that corn has some serious work to do to get knee high by the 4th of July!

it's early yet!!   

[Bobberineyes]

I seen that also Glenn coming out last Friday,  some fields looked good where others not so much. As always evening peoples 68 and gorgeous,  should probably take momma and the pooches fer a stroll around the lake. The whipper snapper,  kitty cat and the golden retriever left for home a little but ago, so Maisy can finally lay down ..lol. Not sure when we'll head back still have some minners and leeches to use up, so I'll probably do my best in the morning on feeding the fish, I mean sheepies.  I do feel bad for the whipper snapper,  she was banking on some lake time, rain every day sank that ship...

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. 53 here and heading for 74 today. Summer solstice is today. The days will start to get shorter after this now. Will be winter soon, lol. Did some house cleaning last night. Supposed to have company this weekend. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[markn]

Seeing how I did nothing yesterday I need to reset and get it all done today plus today's projects. Send off for the trap kids at 11:00 this morning. Escort for them is compliments of AFD and APD. Also need to get ready to go to Bemidji tomorrow and hopefully shoot there. After that head to the kids place on Leech for the weekend. Later.....

[mike89]

mornin all 58 here and lite rain..   sounds like rain for the next 3 days, yikes!!  got a few things done yesterday and still have a few more to do today..  it never ends..   which is good!!   have a good day all!! 

[LPS]

Morning buys.  54 now and should see 74 today.  Therapy this morning so that is the big thing of the day.  See ya later.

[Gunner55]

Mornin gents, 52 here & we're headed for 72, I'm hearin. Heard somethin weird down at the lake yday & found the boat close to floating off the lift. The lift was close to all the way up too. So, the lift got pulled in at least 3', probably closer to 4', shallower 1st thing yday. Will be keeping a close eye on the dock the next few days now too. Bet the lake here is up at least 12-14" since we put the dock in in late April. I mowed along the road & out by the new shed yday afternoon too. Probably mow some more today as well. 'Bout it here, have a good day.

[Gunner55]

Did you get one of those things on wheels Mike?  I was going to ask Gunner about it too.  I thought he mentioned it before.  I have been thinking about it.  How do you get it in and out of the truck when you fill it?

Our pump is mounted on a 2-wheel cart, LPS & we just use some old plastic jugs for the gas that my brother got from work. The cart is kind of heavy duty but it's far from an appliance cart too. We painted the jugs red & they are pretty heavy-duty plastic too. We have 3 of those & they hold ~ 6.5-7 gallons each but we normally only put 5.5-6 in 'em, so they're easier to handle when we're going down to the dock.

no I just got the pump..  on wheels would be ok, but this is fine for me... 

[LPS]

The guy at Cenex and I keep laughing that we should get 4 gallon gas cans so they aren't so heavy.  LOL

[Bobberineyes]

Mornin forum fellas 58 here and you'll never guess.....it's raining again. Mommas thinking if we get a break pack er up and head back to town, that's fine I gots stuff I can there also. I have 2 different kind of hand held gas pumps,  one real flexible to pull fuel from the snow chuckers and the is probably like what Mike picked up for emptying 5 gall cans, they work great.  Well best start rounding up stuff.....See ya!!
