Good Morning!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Mornin all, 3 here & we could see 30. I ran a couple errands & started putting a few things in the car for our Tuesday trip north yday but that was about it. I still have a few things in the dryer down stairs that need to be put away today but that's about it. No more now, have a good day.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  We have 9 here to start the day.  Should see 27 with winds 7 gusting to 17.  Pretty calm now.  Mark those are some nice fish!  Bigger than I expected them to be.  Those kids do look like they enjoyed themselves.  Good for you.  I did the summer Take a Kids Fishing here for many years.  Last year I finally didn't show up.  Hard on the ol back to be out all day.  Sure did enjoy it and met some great kids.  I am looking forward to the Commies game the most too.  I would love to see Buffalo kick the Chiefs azz though too so will watch that too.  Came to a standstill on my hydraulic thumb thing.  Doesn't even surprise me that the fittings don't quite match up with the excavators.  I need a M12 to M14 male coupling.  Tried the parts stores and they didn't have.  John Deere was closed so will check there on Monday.  I see the bird house wobbling a bit so the wind is picking up.  You all have a good day.

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 2 above at choretime, heading for a high in the upper 20's. Chores done, Poppy fed, now it's my turn. Might be some some football watched but we need to vaccinate, tag, & dock tails. Never fun just like most other livestock related jobs around here. Better get on with it. The beatings will continue until the morale improves...

Morning boys. 12 here and supposed to make 25 it says. Little bit windy out of the SW here this morning. Nothing like yesterday though. Been out fishing since little past 7 this morning. Yesterday was slow. So I will try until about noonish then go in and cut firewood and load the wood shed for the week. Almost like having sheep taking care of that wood boiler.  Not. But it is getting old cutting that much wood all winter. Especially when it is cold like it has been. Have a good one boys.

Will be busy tho, the pick em up is getting the coolant flushed Monday then Tuesday morning i have that MRI for hopefully ruling out a groth for my hearing loss, but im sure I'll find time to mess up the house to where I'll need lps and Dotch to bring in there equipment for clean up before momma comes home....See ya!!

Morning boys. 26 here and supposed to make 30 it says now. The wind is still yowling. It swung around to the NW yesterday morning and really started cranking again. Got wood shed loaded again yesterday afternoon. I have a blood draw this morning. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[mike89]

mornin all, 19 at the moments and could see 33 today..  a good week for warmer temps it looks like..  managed to get a few things done yesterday, even a couple I hadn't thought of..  today not sure what I have going on but what ever it will get done..   have a good day all!! 

[Gunner55]

Mornin boys, 18 here & we should make 42. But it only feels like 5 now as we've already got a WSW wind @ 14 that'll kick up to 20 & switch to the NW after the sun goes down. We're headed back to the lake early tomorrow morning, so I've been gathering my stuff & loading the car since Saturday. Got a little left to do, but not too much. 'Bout it here, have a good day.

[mike89]

safe travels tomorrow Gunner and Glenn when ever you leave!! 

[markn]

Side boards off the trailer and put outside. I did get two new and two replacement clearance lights mounted on it too. Need to rewire them today after a trip to Harbor Freight for some rubber grommets. Need to put them in the frame in two spots so the wires don't chafe. Noticed the beer fridge was getting a tad bit low yesterday too, maybe should stop by there too, later........  

[LPS]

Morning boys.  We have 27 here and may see 33 but wind gusting to 20 mph.  Still nice to have it that warm. I have to run to town and hope I can find the fittings I need.  Then to the court house to pay licenses for 2 4 wheelers and the Ranger. That will be about $190 for another 3 years.  That is the main two projects.  Then I need to fill the Ranger with firewood.  You have a good one.

[Scenic]

Good morning All.  26 and windy here as well.  Yesterday the wind howled all day.  They say we may see 33 today but guessing it won't feel like it.  Going to try the garage here at the house today for a bit and see how that goes.  The house is getting way to small.   Have a great day All.

[Dotch]

Mornin' fellow gulag comrades! 18 at choretime, heading for a high in the low 40's. Breezy, again, with a WSW wind of 15 - 20 mph, gusting to 30. Thought maybe we'd be cleaning the rest of the main barn today. Wife decided it was too cold for her to help move panels, gates, & sheep around after getting chilled doing chores. Most of her chores are inside where mine are more of a mixed bag. Hope she's not coming down with something. More ewes coming in soon and I don't need that. Said she'll take tomorrow off instead so we'll see how that goes. I can clean barn myself but it speeds up the process when she helps out. When we get this lambing season over there needs to be a discussion about an exit strategy. Enough is too much.

Safe travels to glenn & gunner today!  And Scenic, hope your trip to the garage goes well. As the wife was recovering from her ankle surgery, getting her out of the house & hauling her to the barn in the Gator was one of the best therapies at the time. Can only stay in the house so long.     

[fishwidow]

Hey, Gunner, Glenn, just a heads up. Gas around GR is $2.69.

Thanks.   I have maxed out that "so long" period now.

[Gunner55]

Thanks fw, we'll probably have to fill up at M & H on our way through town. I don't think glenn normally goes through GR though, as he always takes the DR shortcut. Personally, I think it's because he's usually in a big hurry to get to Inger.              

[Jerkbiat]

Safe travels Gunner and Glenn!!! Gas was $2.68 in Deer River a week ago Saturday when we went thru there.

[LPS]

Just had to order my 2 hydraulic fittings so won't see them for a week or so.  Oh well. They are metric so hard to find around here.  SO JB is the car warsh in Warroad across the street from Dairy Queen?  Do they take credit cards?  The car warsh here in Baudette has needed work on it and now it caved in.  I think pipes and metal braces all fell down inside the car warsh.  My truck is really dirty and I will be going through Warroad tomorrow on my way to the Vet in Greenbush. 

[glenn57]

The automatic wash does take credit or debit cards. Don't  remembe if the change machine takes cards though.

Morning boys. 27 here and heading for 35 today. Wind is still strong. Today I have to drive the pickup to work. It needs to go to the car wash anyway. Hopefully the roads don't get sloppy with the warm weather. The reason I have to drive that is because the transmission went out of the Envoy yesterday. On the way to work I was down to only first gear. On the way home I barely had that. Took me 1-1/2 hours to get home. 30 mph was the top speed. It was slipping a ton. But I managed to limp it home. Tonight I will need to dig the blazer out of the snow bank and get that drivable. The joys of vehicles. Otherwise just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.
