Glenn, Hugo's  is based out of Grand Forks. One of the owners of Doug's was ready to retire and the other was still supposed  to be half owner. We'll, apparently everything the employees  were told in their  meeting  wasn't  right. Both owners  sold out. Now they are completely owned by Hugo's.  The wife is still not sure how it is all going to work out yet. She is nervous.

      JB, I thought Doug's had two locations. Not sure why I thought that.

[Jerkbiat]

They actually had 3 locations. Warroad, Baudette and a store in Pine River MN.

Morning boys. TGIF ! 61 here and heading for 70 today. Going to be a short day in the salt mines today. Been starting early to get extra time in this week. Plan to leave at 10 this morning. Come home and hook up to the camper and head to the forest to camp. Do some Ranger riding and chase some partridge. Maybe a  and  or 2 also. Looking forward to it. Have a good one boys.

Morning fellers.  Busy day. Taking the boat to put ni-nite for winter.  Happens to be same place my horseradish is planted. Dig some up, get 3 propane tanks filled, then the rest of the day make horseradish.

No beer will be harmed today,  but look out tomorrow!

Mornin all, 56 here last I looked & we're headed for 79 yday. Had a busy day yday as it started early with me watching the sunrise from the boat. There wasn't much of a breeze early on so the mosquitos were kind of a pita. Wind picked up about 9:30-10 though, so I started to work on my dead wood pile about then. Not certain where I'll start this day yet. 'Bout it here, have a good day.

Morning boys.  Nice cool morning here. 52 and looking at 74 for the high and sunny.  Wasn't a cloud in the sky yesterday afternoon.  I got a log in the trails cut yesterday.  Jake stayed up by the house with Cooper so he is learning.  I tell them to stay and give them the hand signal and he is catching on with Coopers guidance.  I have one more to cut today so hopefully he stays by the house for that one too.  Will be some great firewood.  Will put a sharpen on the electric Stihl first.  Love the saw. The wife will be leaving soon till Sunday so will be on my own till Sunday.     Will be taking a steak out or better yet I may go in and buy a nice looking ribeye.  Maybe a yam too.  The neighbor dropped off some nice green beans that will go with it good too.  Well TGIF!

Ran a tank full of gas thur the Stihl yesterday. Going to try to do another today. Daughter is asking if I can help her move today and I said YES. Now I get my basement back.

...and unlike that Mark guy, things I need!!!!!! Glenn, everyone needs a chainsaw. What took you so long to get one? By the way mine is a 251 Stihl. Love it except for the rewind. It's got the new rewind that builds up energy before it spins the motor over. Takes some getting used to. Later.......

Good morning.   Another warm one today but now they are talking a major cool down for next week.  Some good fall fishing coming up!!! 

[LPS]

Dotch, I see a youtube thing from Kare 11 about Hope Creamery. 

[mike89]

Millerville up here makes butter yet too...  good for both of them!!! 

[Dotch]

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 48 at choretime heading for a high in the low 80's. More beans came off yesterday but still issues with green pods, beans and stems. Yields are starting to look about like what we expected, averaging in the low to mid- 50's for those being honest about whole field averages & not just harvested acres. But as we say, the 1st liar doesn't stand a chance when it comes to yields. Brought the Studebaker in for the gas tank replacement today so am on foot so far. Hopefully that goes smoothly. Will be nice to eliminate the odor of gasoline in the garage. Not strong but I can still smell it. Otherwise Poppy & i are getting mentally prepared for the wedding tomorrow. I made food and had a few libations while the ladies worked on arrangements and corsages. There is wedding flower stuff all over the house. It'll sure be nice to have it over.

Hope Creamery butter is some good stuff & good to know that Millerville is still at it too. The guy who owns the Hope Creamery is really an interesting cat. He lives/farms next door to the family whose daughter has been doing the 4-H sheep project thing with us. Kind of an eccentric, usually wears western attire & has a white ponytail, but a very likeable eccentric. He brought a AMC Ambassador convertible to a car show one time. On the outside it looked just pristine. He had the top down on it. When you looked inside, it was full of rags, pipe wrenches, other tools, some rusty pipes and bolts. That would be Victor.

It finally dawned on me as to why pickups have backup cameras. Duhhh……silly me. No mirror on the right side.

[LPS]

    Nice looking pup. 

[mike89]

he needs water!!!   

[glenn57]

  oh how i can relate to that   

[Dotch]

Oh but he sure looks happy! 

Got the Silver Hawk back after my Studebaker mechanic got done replacing the gas tank. Absolutely the right move. Turns out the draw tube wasn't just welded onto the front bottom portion of the tank. It actually extended back up inside on the bottom of the tank with a flattened end placed about in the middle of it. The tank was extremely rusty on the bottom, leading us to believe this was probably the 65 year old original equipment. Sure it's got an in-line fuel filter but once that rust would start to flake off and plug it, it would still be a problem. The rubber filler neck was also bad. It was pretty rotten and there was a horizontal split in it right above the clamp where it attached to the metal tube on the gas tank. I suspect this might've been where the gas smell came from right after I'd filled the tank and parked it in the garage. Before the leak showed up around the draw tube that is. Filled it up before I got it home. Sending unit worked perfectly. I figured it had about 4.5 gallons of gas in it. Put 13.5 in an 18 gallon tank. No gas smell in the garage tonite. If this one lasts 65 years, we're good to go.
