Good Morning!

[Dotch]

Zzzzzz....Zzzzzzzzz.....whoa! Gotta wake up. Prime rib day at the Willows. Don't be late!

[leechlake]

Did my normal lay in bed for a while this morning.  Frankly, I should quit doing it because I complicate things when I'm laying there, once I get out of bed I have a different perspective on things.  What is up with dreams.  I can be just having a normal dream...whatever normal is, and then some ridiculous thing happens.  You know it happens:

You're dreaming about walking down a city street on a nice day, kids are playing in a park, an older lady walks by with her dog.  You look up and the mailman is driving a boat down the street with a dinosaur in the back of the boat throwing mail into mail boxes.  I made that up but I hope you follow my drift and no I wasn't and am not not a drug user.  You can deny it but you know those dreams happen.  

The one dream I always have and it's never happened in real life.  If I ever dream about deer hunting my gun never works.  There is a full array of reasons why the deer never gets shot but it doesn't work.

Go get em today...don't procrastinate, be overly optimistic, smile when you feel like frowning.

Good morning.  Today was supposed to be Grindstone day for me.  But the more than expected snow made me back off.  Didn't get to clear the snow until late yesterday.  Heavy snow or medium snow, it doesn't seem to make a difference when you try to get around the cities.  I don't even like going downtown in the summer let alone winter.  It's not that Mpls. is a bad  big city, it's because it is a big city surounded by a bunch of highways which are crowded with vehicles almost all the time.  Come a snowfall and all bets are off trying to get from point a to b in a reasonable time.

I had the problem yesterday, my wife had the longest trip in her life the day before.  It would have made no difference if she was driving a tank.  She had a 4 wheel drive truck which sure helps but when it's bumper to bumper, it doesn't matter.  I like where I live, don't get me wrong.  A nice quiet neighborhood in Andover  [near a nudist camp only a few miles away].  But there is NOTHING like living in the Arrowhead area.  Being surrounded by beauty every day makes snow like this a blessing and not a curse.  Can you tell I miss the North Country.  good luck.

Just what I needed--I'm going to start doing my taxes and I'm going to try to follow your advice for the day.

[Dotch]

Don't envy you Juneau. One more reason I keep lots of material to manufacture libations on hand. 

LL is just full of great advice. I took his earlier pep talk to heart about staying mobile in order to avoid the office pest and it's already paying huge dividends. This morning my spidey senses started tingling and within minutes he arrived. People scattered, myself included. I immediately went out back to check on the progress of the construction project where my little fat sawed off Swedish buddy carpenter was already laughing when I stuck my head in the door. He knew what I was up to. I only stayed about 5 minutes so as not to give my latest hiding spot away. Then I went to the post office since some mail was delayed due to the storm. I came back and the sawed off Swede was leaving before the pest came back there. I told him if the pest didn't leave soon I was off to St. Olaf Lake to check on the local Bandwagon star's fishing progress. That works out well if he doesn't have anyone with him because he sometimes invites me to wet a line.

Back inside and the pest had one of my little fat buddies cornered. Decided I needed to go in the storage area to see if my flotation cycle (BW 200 Yamaha) was still there. Things have a habit of sprouting legs and walking off around here. I fully expected the pest to follow me so I detoured around some pallets of seed until the coast was clear. I got back in the main office and he was gone. Said he had to go home to move snow. Hmmmm....thought that was supposed to be done so the wife could get out before coming to town but I digress. The rest of the office inhabitants were glad he'd left but were complaining it was cold. Not me. With all the running from point A to point B all the way to point Z, I was plenty warm. Best of all, I've worked up an appetite and I'm losing weight. This exercise program is working out better than I ever would've imagined. Must be part of Obamacare. Thanks LL!

It is kind of cold up here this morning.  Went down to my fish house last night and caught one sauger.  Will try again tonight to stash enough fish away to have with our eggs on Sat. morning. I keep the heat on in the fish house so it is ready to go when I get there.  Fun stuff.  I usually listen to Garage Logic with grumpy ol Joe Souchery and Patrick Reusse when there.  lol  But you know what would be great is to go to Reinhard's Nudist Camp.....     We could grill some of his homemade sausages and sit in our lawn chairs at the edge of the compound and rate the babes there.  Will have to keep a close eye on some of our buddies on here so they don't jump the fences.  Probably have to tip a few while there too.  I wonder if there is room to park our campers there?  See ya all there.

[leechlake]

Lindell-  I've got it stuck in my head one of the guys sitting up out of this lawn chair to grab beers for everyone.  I envision the web marks from the chair on a sun burned backside.  Now envision the same guy walking back to you naked as a Jaybird to hand you a beer and you have to say "thank you".    Reason #25 I quit drinking

Uffda!!!  Sounds like a reason to start drinking again...just to forget that horrible image in your head!!!

[LindellProStaf]

Oh No I didn't need that image to think about LL.  I sure hope he doesn't get an itch that has to be scratched you know where before he hands me that beer.  

[ThunderLund78]

LL - I always have those hunting dreams.  Bucks the size of mules offering a perfect shot and your gun misfires, jams, etc.

[Dotch]

Lunch is over now time to crawl under the desk for a nap. 

 

[ThunderLund78]

That's a man's lunch, right there!

[lovebigbluegills]

Looks great Dotch!!! I'd be wanting to take a nap after that too!!!

[delcecchi]

I love it.  A wine list at a joint that uses old six pack carriers to hold the condiments.  What are the choices? 
Charles Shaw, Boones Farm,  Carlo Rossi, and Thunderbird?

you envisioned it was Reb didn't you??????

[leechlake]

good luck with those dreams tonight fellas!  I can see some of the fellas playing some "touch" football at the nudist joint.

Boar is QB with Smurfy reluctantly at center.   Smurfy tells him shotgun formation but Boar gets under center and calls out the signals.  RH at receiver being covered very very loosely by Bobby Bass.  Del and Reb are coaches wearing only hats and holding clipboards.  They are bit##ing at each other.  LBG, Bobber, Thunder are offensive lineman with Dotch, Juneau and Lindell defensive lineman.  

Smurf "prematurely" hikes the ball because Boar is under center too long and he wants him not so close.  Nobody rushes for fear of touching.  RH is so wide open because Bobby is keeping his distance.  Boar sees him but wants the glory himself and starts scrambling around.  All the while Eyeguy is in the stands shooting pictures like a madman.  Del is yelling to Boar to pass it.  Rebs telling Boar to run.  Boar freezes and out of nowhere Harvey Lee comes in and smashes him to the turf and does a Jared Allen like lassoooo move.  All caught by eyeguy.  

Good night!

Gee wiz, we realize were mostly dudes on this forum but I'm not sure we should be dreaming or visualizing of dudes in a a nudist colony, serving drinks or playing football.  Btw LL, what are you wearing,  pon pons or a whistle. ..

I was starting to wonder if he's ready for the home... or recently had some serious head trauma.

Definitely an odd direction to go. 

[Dotch]

Just hoping he didn't fall off the wagon...

[leechlake]

still on the wagon...I think its the Democrat thing that got to me.  I'd delete it but it's stuck.  I did ponder and ponder and then just hit the button.  Oh well...can't win em all.  Go Bernie!!!

[RebelSS]

HOLY CRIPES! He's fallen down the rabbit hole, fer sure!!!  "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small, but the one pill LL took, blew away them all".....

[leechlake]

hey now...at least I wasn't in it and it got Reb out of hiding for the day.  Let's talk about his neighbor lady or something else.  I've got to leave for Matt's hockey game and I'm afraid to even look tomorrow morning.

Eyeguy???  When you're done developing those pictures could you delete my post???  Thanks.
