Mornin boys, we had 32 on my 1st trip out to the garage & we might see 40. I wasn't sure where to start  after we got back from GR yday, so I just took it easy & I just might do the same today. Have a good day.

Morning boys.  We have 26 and lots of frost on everything. So glad I got things all buttoned up already.  Just have to blow out the waterline to camp.  That is an easy project too.  Man what a game last night.  That is the first of the series that I watched and I picked the right game to watch.  The Dodgers deserved the win too.  The Yanks made a few bad plays.  I am surprised you didn't get a buyer on your truck too Mark.  Who doesn't want a good plow truck???   Well you all have a good one and be safe trick or treating.

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 44 at choretime & that will likely be the high for the day. Got some much needed rain yesterday afternoon & last nite. .78" at the ranch & .90" in Bugtussle. Maybe my neighbor's wife will give him his matches back. I doubt it. I think he has some of the same cognitive issues my buddy Bill does to a lesser degree so she needs to keep him on a short leash. I took the trough over there last nite so the ewes got their grain. Took a bale of hay along in case the pasture should happen to get buried in snow. Wouldn't be the 1st time. Happy for you jb! Hope it works out this time w/o the headaches with the last one gave you.

hey Dotch, I watched a 1957 golden Hawk with 67,000 miles on it sell for $27,250 last night..  said over 4300 were made..  black mostly..  nice looking car!!! 

[Dotch]

With that supercharged 289, they were real screamers back in the day too. Sorta like glenn's lovelies in Inger...

[LPS]

Yes JB, that is great news.  Finally the end of the saga.  Good ending.

Yup, they came that way. In '57 & '58, the Golden Hawks were supercharged while the Silver Hawks were not. Same 289 Studebaker engine however. The '58 Packard Hawk had the same engine & supercharger as the Golden Hawk did. Pretty much the same car but the Packard had a catfish mouth-like front end. Saw one at the Hemken Museum in Williams IA a few years back. They had the largest collection of Packards I'd ever seen along with a lot of other cool stuff. The elderly lady who gave us the tour told us the supercharger on this one had been removed by the elderly gentleman owner's family. It went like a bat out of hell and they were afraid he'd kill himself.

clothes organized..... check

chasin momma around  ongoing!!!!!!!

Smurfette: Is that a Johnsonville brat in yer pants or are ya just glad to see me? 

One thing I forgot to mention Barry. We went to the new grocery store in I Falls last week. Was our 2nd visit so starting to know the lay of the land. At least I know where the limes are & that's the key thing...lol Ran across lamb chops in the meat counter for $19.99/lb. They looked pretty nice actually. We had lamburger along from our freezer so didn't bite on them. The smoked lake trout I got from Morey's on the way home was only $14.99/lb. I actually prefer it to the smoked salmon. Mighty tasty with Swiss on a cracker! 🐟 

[LPS]

I found some beef ribs the last time I was there.  I would love to have some nice tender lamb chops but kind of afraid of them now.  If I see them there I will check the out though.  We like it more each time we go there too. 

[Dotch]

It really is a nice store. We've both been impressed by it thus far. Like the layout. Reminds me of the bigger stores here in Owatonna & Albert's Leaf. Were decent deals on some items. Clean and the staff is helpful. Last time we were there Bill said the $hitter was nice too. This time he didn't recall that he'd been in there. Oh well...  

[LPS]

Yes the zhitter is always clean and doesn't smell terrible like Menards does.  Even if noone is in there Menards smells like, well, you know what. 

[roony]

Maybe taking a dump isn't as much a memorable event for Bill as it is for you.

Especially after using an outdoor model in Canada for several days, again, it tends to give one a greater appreciation for these sorts of things.

Doesn’t surprise me, Menards is the Walmart of home improvement stores

Just enjoy what you have doing your business,  yrs ago close to Northstar Lake while grouse hunting the chitter was a seat over a hole with no walls bout 50 yards in da woods from the place. One went fast... and Glenn, pretty sure you won't let us forget your going otta town...again..

Morning boys. 28 here and heading for mid 40s. The wind is down and switched to the SW. So the lake is not keeping us as warm this morning. Looks like South winds all weekend too. Which is bad juju for my favorite bow stand. Made it home about 7:30 last night in the new ride. Amazing the difference from the 24 model to the 25 model. More room and rides nicer. Nicer look to them also. Has a couple more bells and whistles then the 24. Glad the ordeal is over. In the end we still lost. But it is out of our hair. The dealership in IFalls is awesome though. I will recommend them to anyone. This is our 2nd vehicle purchase thru them. Well, just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

mornin all, 26 and again try for 41 today..  glad for you guys JB!!!  nothing for moisture here yesterday..  would have been nice..  not much going on so have a good day all!! 

[glenn57]

Morning fellers.  Getting ready to head out for a blood draw. Physical/ blood sugar check Monday .

Chilly 24 here.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  We have 23 here and expect 47 for the high.  I see moisture is expected Sun-Tue and Accu says snow flurries could start here in 20 minutes.  I will believe it when I see it. Will take care of the dock and blow out the water line this weekend.  Feels good to be on top of things but I am missing fishing already.  After the hernia on the 14th I can't lift more than 15 lbs for 6 weeks so that will take me to Jan 1.  The best fishing is during that time frame usually.  Oh well, have to do a lot of reading.  LOL  Well time for more java.  TGIF and Glenn stay out of trouble.  Call Gunner if you need bail money.  LOL

Mornin gang, 28 here & we're hoping to see 44. Going to break out my pack boots today as I spent a couple hours out putzing around early yday & my feet got kind of cold. I forgot a spray bottle in the boat so jumped in to get that & made sure the livewell was dry as well. Tried to get rid of some of my pile of wood too but most of that was still a little wet from our last rain. Probably give that a shot again today though. Still got a flatbed trailer to get in the new shed, so I'll mess with that too. 'Bout it here, have a good day.

[roony]

25 here this morning. Going to putz in the shop.

[markn]

It's cover the AC unit and put away patio furniture day to day. Boat is gone to be covered and stored for the winter. First time for me to do that, see how it goes. Took the F150 to car wash and it looks much better. Think I'll drive it for awhile instead of the 250. Wife thinks I should clean up our ditch after the sewer crew went through. Basketball sized rocks, wire, wood, chunks of blacktop, no backslope and a general poor dirt work around the culvert. Think I'll call the county and make it their problem. I don't complain about things but this is a really poor job. Later.......

[glenn57]

certainly non union work Mark!!!!!!!

LPS........if i need to rely on Gunner for bail money...............i'm in trouble!!!!!!
