Good Morning!

[Dotch]

Right now it's 9 - 1, bottom of the 7th. Can see the top of the 8th starting soon. There's a water bag showing on that one. They're starting to pop with regularity now so am getting my catchers mitt warmed up. A couple more ewes come in after the two this afternoon and we'll be about 1/3 of the way done. 

[leechlake]

Way to go ramalambas!!!   An absolute drubbing by the boys but I hope they don't get cocky and let their guard down. The gals could go on a run themselves and make it close.  Thanks for the info, I'm brewing up some mint jelly this weekend in preparation but please don't tell them. 

 

[Dotch]

Updated score: 9 - 2, heading towards the top of the 8th.

Boy do I have a lot of Good Morning N Ews to catch up on!  After midnight here so it is a good morning somewhere. Woke up from nap to get a pain pill to put me back to sleep and reach in the fridge for some OJ but then remembered it is now on my "out of bounds" list that continues to grow. Had a big big problem with Potassium in my recent hospital vacation. Fellow member Tom posted a surprise comment over on the Lake Iwanttobethere thread. He announced that he has downloaded every entry in my blog. and has edited out all of the repetitive stuff that you get when you do a download. There are 1,452,282 words in the 'book' that is 1,939 pages long.  That put a smile on my face as I once started to print them out but stopped after the first 180 paes,could you imagine the cost of the ink?    Morning guys...

Good morning all, 3:15 here getting ready to head to the shop. T.G.I.F. I think it's time to start drinking again, I have 4 employees and I want to fire them all and start over again but the unemployment penalties would kill me. I kept telling myself this week, only 7 more months til vacation, only 7 more months . All have a good day & weekend no cooking planned this weekend might go out everyday for dinner and have people cater to my needs for a change.

hangin the coffee, let me guesse, they want a job, but dont want to work. call in sick, cause they want to party, ect. ect. ect.

I hear ya Coffee...

Good to see you posting bobby.  Seemed when we were kids mom was pushing us to eat bananas in the Summer when we were active to help our potassium and now something like that can be a negative.  

7 of 8 teams set for the AA state hockey tourney; Grand Rapids, Farmington, Bobberville, Wayzata, Bemidji, Anoka, Eden Prairie.  Almost could have a contest.  My suggestion is that the worst finisher comes over and picks up dog waste in my yard.  It would be a new concept in one of our contests but may not get a lot of entries.

At the end of the day yesterday I was driving and realized I may have had the best day I've had in a few years.  I called it my Superman day.  Everything went well and I'm guessing that's pretty rare.  Slept like a baby lamb...

Good morning all!!! Starting an hour later today feels good, then taking the afternoon off to get my taxes done. 

I looked on here a bit last night while I was listening to the hockey game out in the garage, and it appears that everybodys a poet now, and pretty creative ones ta boot!!! I've got some word pairs that I thought up last night when I should have been sleeping, and I should have a finished product this weekend for you guys.

Btw, Thief River beat EGF to get back to the state tournament.

Have a great day and TGIF!!!!!!!!!!

They all want more hours but request off days call in sick with the sniffles, bicker with each other, nothing but drama. I tell them it's not brain surgery you make drinks have cleaning duties and that's it. Put the phones away do what is expected of you and everyone will be happy, even me. the worst part is they are all on their late 20's early 30's, not teenagers

Have they checked your Magnesium?  Wife had some surgery and her potassium was out of whack but they said it had something to do with her magnesium....  Might not be applicable to you.

[leechlake]

I will bet one package of RH sausage that when he was in the hospital for four days and they took enough blood "to paint Duncan's doghouse, if he had one" that they didn't skip the magnesium.

Good to see you back Bobby! 

Whew! A long morning bomb session. Lots of visitors. One of the reasons this place is a lousy spot to write anything. Got the pest out of here early. Mistakenly thought he was at the state wrestling tournament yesterday and would stay up there today. My bad. Instead he was pulling down the manure level in his hog pits since they were full and spreading it on the field while it was frozen. I have a feeling they were probably overfull given his track record. I made the comment that they were frozen even harder this morning so he could've got some more out. He said by the time he did that it would be too greasy. Hmmm...come into town, waste a couple hours when you should've been pulling your pits down.Then wonder why they're full again too soon. Got it. Some people's kids.

No new action overnight in the lambing barn. Have had an issue with the one ewe not accepting her lamb totally. Like many critters, ewes identify their offspring by sense of smell. Sometimes for whatever reason, hormones, rubbing against another animal at the wrong time, sheer stupidity, etc., they won't accept them so intervention is called for. Luckily this lamb is smart so by grabbing the ewe occasionally and hanging onto her so the lamb can nurse without her beating on it is part of the game. Some are tempted to beat on the ewe but that's a good way to wreck a hand and really not accomplish anything positive. You just have to be patient. If it gets too bad, I can manufacture a headgate but that's a last resort. Usually with some perseverance the problem clears up on its own.

Should be a great weekend to enjoy being outdoors between trips to the lambing barn. Tempting to get the Silver Hawk out if it looks like the roads are dry enough. Should prune the apple, pear and crabapple trees while I'm at it. Nice to have a supply of that stuff for grilling. Not that I couldn't do the smoker tube/pellet thing but it's something that just gets burned up otherwise. And, best of all as LL's political idol says, it's FREE!

I have a team of blood specialists who do my blood work, I don't second guess them or give them any more reason to take any more of my blood! I put my trust in people who do this for a living not guessing..

Well it did not take long this morning to realize I was back home. I woke up again at 7 this morning waiting for the gal to come in so I could make my breakfast order and instead I got the wife and she laughed at me when I requested pancakes. toast, applesauce, peaches, skim milk and a couple of cookies for the drawer. So much for the catered meals at bedside..

[Dotch]

 

 I gotta get me one of them hair hats. Mrs. Cheviot would be impressed! That and have Sabrina come over and demonstrate the Bell and Howell projector. Saw something resembling those at Back to the 50's on a '58 Buick front bumper!

I'm partially bitter I wasn't in my prime back in those days, problem is I'd be dead now.  I think Sabrina may be Kate Upton's great grandma.

Yah, what I should said was "did they say anything about magnesium?".   

[RebelSS]

Hey! I want that hat!!  Can I pick a color? Boy, being offline for one day, and I have a half hour of stuff to read!!! Finally got the brand new hi-powered ultra-boofy 'puter with the all the whistles, ding dings, and tooters on line and dialed in. Wasn't  too tough, start to finish took me about 2 hours, had to run security system it came with first, set all those parameters, install the Office 365 they send in an E-mail, install the search engine I wanted, and all the million other programs it has. I do love the 17'' screen, and the backlit keyboard. comes on when ya hit  pad, goes off after 5 secs. This Windows 10 is kinda goofy, not hard like i've heard, but I'm not real impressed with it. It's OK. Kind of a glitzy app pusher, IMO. Also has "Cortana", ya just say "hey cortana" after a voice recognition test, and this chick comes up and says, Hi, Mark, what can i do for you? (  ) "Todays weather, Cortana" *POOF* It pops on screen, and she tells ya all about it....I like that. Worst thing was the 2.7 Gig passwords for the Microsoft, cloud, My account, Dell account, blah, blah, installed bloatware in this thing. Every one had to be different. From start to finish, which including setting fonts. notations, etc,That  I like , just about 2 hrs. Not too bad for a semi-talented 'puter jock. I'm still trying to find "sounds" to set for various  alerts.....that'll give me something to do. I covered the webcam, in case someone might be watching me sitting here with my morning face on. Haven't figgered out the webcam thing yet, either.  Mid 50's today, pork rost going on over charcoal and apple-wood chips. Gotta see if Fareway has any of their red-skin potato salad out yet....and some green top onyums.. Gonna be outside as much as I can. Enough of the indoor 'puter pokin'. Enjoy guys!

I had a dream this morning that I was spraying green weeds with roundup.  Great dream.  There was even some poison ivy in the dream which must have meant I was up at the cabin.

Boys lost a playoff game last night but it's double elim.  Ref tossed 5-6 kids per team, there wasn't a fight or even a scrum.  There was one penalty in the first two periods.  He lost his way, became ultra thin skinned and really nothing effected the outcome of the score of the game by doing it but ruined the game.  Also had three players on our team sidelined because they were missing a plastic flap covering their ears.  I guess the 24 league games that proceeded this game didn't draw that issue to his attention?  We have the same refs a lot including this wayward soul.  Oh well.

Today I wish I had 12 kids, I'd make a whole pig on a spit outside.  Funny where we live.  It's going to be 55 degrees or so and we're all giddy and half the people will be wearing shorts.  If it was 55 in September everyone would break out the Fall clothes and be wearing those things.

[bobberineyes]

Atta boy reb, sounds like a good set up. Ya it's funny how a ref can change the game LL.  In ways when the snow goes it's a relief but this year is going to suck, with all the fetching last fall the pooch destroyed a big area now it's mud galore . So now it's off to the park and let him ruin some city turf.  Did a home made double pepperoni pizza on the grill last night, turns out I was low on charcoal so thru in some hickory chunks for extra heat, wow did that sucker turn out Smokey,  but good...have a swell day fellas. 

[lovebigbluegills]

Good morning all!!! My plans for the day are to be outside as much as I can and enjoy the weather-- gonna be a balmy 40 today here!!!

I had planned on smoking a rack of ribs for supper today, but I thought about it for a bit and decided to go with chuck eyes on the grill with the weather being so nice. I'll smoke the ribs tomorrow when its 20 or so. Speaking of charcoal, I had to buy a bag yesterday. Hurry up charcoal sales!!!! Time to stock up again!!

Have a great Saturday, and enjoy the beautiful weather!!!!

[Boar]

[RebelSS]

I was fortunate enough to grab two huge bags of Kingsford briquettes (40 lbs I think) for $9 clearance last Fall at Walmart...got the second to last bag on the pallet. 

[ThunderLund78]

Trying a new Waffle recipe, this morning,  So far it's a thumbs-up fro the kids - the waffles for the wife and me aren't ready yet.

Gonna try to spend as much time outside today as I can.  But we have the Mite Jamboree at the Bloomington Ice Garden today and tomorrow.  First game is not until this afternoon, and second game is tomorrow AM.  So I got about a day out of the weekend get stuff done.

Enjoy your day, everyone!
