Good Morning!

I wondered about that with all the PC police around.

LPS, you will like this.  I slept perfect last night.  Belle threw a curve ball and slept up by my pillow and I slept with my arm around her most of the night.  I think it was my mom intervening and having Belle be my real life stuffed animal and giving me an awesome night sleep.  I woke up and figured it was around 6am and it was 5am and I got up anyway.  I may run a marathon just because I can.

Heading to cabin tomorrow and have some tasks to do and we're going to chase crappies and look at walleyes laying in the shallows.  Got the tick medicine on the dogs and since Belle slept next to me I may be covered too.  It feels like late October to me today, it's still raining a bit and overly crisp out.  I may put the Halloween stuff out.  

In my quest for patience at the grocery store I met my match yesterday.  I was waiting in the meat section while a gal picked up every package and looked at it and once she moved an older lady barged into the spot.  It was a rude shopper on purpose move.  I held my tongue and waited and she camped out long enough to where I took my phone out and without even hiding it took her picture and texted a buddy.  She was oblivious, I had fun with it and survived to be patient another day.

Do something nice for yourself today fellas.  I'm sure you deserve it.

That is true love LL.  Say hi to Belle for me.  I hope Ashley from Seattle Sutton doesn't get jealous.  Saw her again last night.  I told my wife about your supposed affair with her.  Now when she is on my wife says "Hey there is Ashley"  lolol   

NFL Draft tonight.  I will try to see who we pick tonight.  The first time I watched a few years ago we had a late pick and I fought to stay awake for our pick. Got pretty boring.  Well our pick was at 11:00 or something like that.  The tension built and I was actually excited I made it to the pick.  Goodell comes on and says.  The Mn Vikings trade their pick to some other team.  DUH!!!  I waited all night for nothing.     It is funny now but wasn't then.  

Took Fri and Mon off to have a long weekend.  Hope we have some nice weather.  We went for a boat ride after the dog baths last night.  Man the river is up and lots of current.  I suppose they have the dam opened up at the Falls.  They got a lot of rain over east.  This is a humungous watershed.  

I have the urge to grill/smoke something tonight on the Daniel Boone.  Just not sure what yet.  May have to stop at the store and see what they have.

See ya all later.

Smurfy sleeps at yer house? 

[lovebigbluegills]

Good morning all!!! Not too much exciting going on around here- I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend and getting some chores done around the yard. It'll be nice to get them done, so I can spend more time fishing, scouting deer, etc, etc. The way it's going, I might even have to mow the yard this weekend- good excuse to have a couple beers!!!

 

[Dotch]

Mornin' everone! You too smurf (since I don't think you'll see this for a while) 

Chores done (casualties 0), cutworm trap read (0 moths), rain gauge read (.48"), thermometer read (39 degrees) breakfast eaten (generic Cheerio's) coffee made (10-W-30). Another cloudy one with the promise of sun tomorrow, with the promise of rain again Saturday. Mrs. Cheviot has decided to go on the cruise Saturday after all so I won't need all those towels in the car. I usually have some to wipe the car down for those thinking perverse thoughts. You know who you are. 

Had to laugh at her the other day. Preparing to mow lawn I dug the trusty old Agco-Allis I call Howard out. Howard was the name of the old guy that had it and when I acquired it, the name stuck. Aired the tires up, greased it, checked the oil, fueled it up and proceeded to tear into it.  I don't think much about it as mowing lawn is a pretty mindless job. My primary function is to hang on, not get knocked off by a tree limb and listen to the tunes. I was just happy that everything functioned well enough to make the start of another season. The exhaust pipe to the muffler has a crack in it so it cackles a little. The part is more $ than the mower is worth so as long as it doesn't become a fire hazard, we're golden.

When I finished mowing I put it away and went inside. The first thing Mrs. Cheviot said, "That thing is really loud!!!! I tried to take a nap and I couldn't!" Hmmm...I grinned saying nothing as a crafty veteran of avoiding these potential skirmishes. You can think it; just don't say it. A couple things: 1) I can't hear it with my radio muffs on. If I can, it means the tunes aren't loud enough. She should be familiar with that technique judging by the volume level of the radio and some of the racket emanating from the car when I recently drove it, and 2) Now you know how I feel when you feel compelled to yap on the phone with the TV on when I'm trying to nap!  

[leechlake]

there isn't much better than naming a gas powered item after a person.  When I was a kid we had "Aunt Alice".  She was a 5 horse Johnson motor by dad bought when his Aunt...let's call her Alice...passed away and left him a few bucks.      We've had a lot of outboards come and go over the years but Aunt Alice was gifted to my brother in law and it still works.  What a gal Aunt Alice was!  Years of enjoyment provided by a woman...a rare occurrence.

Wife naps...they live in a world I don't but wish I did.  My wife had a few last night and was working from home today.  At 9am she announced she was taking a nap.  God almighty if I did that flares would be sent up and I'd have a living room full of friends and relatives for an intervention at 6pm that day.   It should be the way the women do it but they don't let it be.  Meanwhile us guys think that if we don't say anything about the wife napping while we're mowing the lawn we will get the same consideration.  It ain't so.  You could be out jackhammering the driveway and you'd see the wife in her robe yelling at you.  You turn it off to hear them say, "I'm trying to sleep!"  Wouldn't you like to try that?

On a more fun note I play a little RIP game with a buddy.  We keep track of celeb deaths by the week and the winner gets the others Warmest Personal Regards, you have to text the name.  The wife helped me get Prince last week and it was a squeaker that I got by about 2 seconds.  Anyway, I was at the doc today and Deb texted me a heads up that some 31 year old dirty movie actress had died.  That got my easily turned gears turning and I wondered how she knew about the dirty movie gal?  You follow me?

Final final.  You guys were right and can now consider yourself Junior MD's.  The doc did give me something to try out and it is for my noggin.  Frankly, I thought the doc needed it more than me, he could hardly crack a smile and I'm moderately amusing at times.  The nurse was laughing at me and I was fully clothed too.  I need to check the side effects of this stuff I'm sure there's some good material in there for a rambling post some day.

Hi ya fellas,  what a yucky kinda day. Softball is cancelled tonight so just doing some tinkering here and there.  Naps, great day for one, although the pooch probably won't let me, we could almost get a thread going with naps. The funny thing is back when the kids were younger the Mrs and I would joke that it's nap time,  not only for the kids but for us to sneak in a nooner, now it's actually nap time..lol. Burgers weren't suppose to be on the menu tonight, but with all change in plans, I'm grilling firing up the weber again .

[LindellProStaf]

Ya me too.  When I say I am going to take a nap I take a nap.....   lol    If I see the wife doze off I stay as quiet as I can to be considerate to her.  I can go to the shop or fish or whatever.  The other night after my two nights of bad sleep I was so tired.  I fell asleep watching TV.  Wouldn't you know it, she came right up and started talking to me when it should have been obvious I was out.  Sort of irritated me.  My ex used to do that all of the time.  Hey wake up and go to bed.... GGRRR   I never once did that to her.  

[RebelSS]

I never take naps, but I just did. Was cold to the bone and legs are hurtin' something awful.  $#@!^ weather.

Mornin boys.  Got the day off.  I noticed a few weeks ago when I had a day off they feel a little different to me now.  Sort of like a Retirement Practice day.  I may have mentioned this before on here.  Sign of early early early middle age you know, repeating yourself.    

Hooking up the Rockwood today and heading down to my brothers house for the weekend.  He has a big house and we could stay inside but the last couple of years we have used it as an excuse to use our camper.  Easier to bring the dogs too.  He as a Golden and a Lab and they all get along well.  We will see how Buddy blends in.  This will be the first time they get to see the new to us Rockwood.  They make wine as a hobby and are getting pretty darn good at it.  You know what that means?  We are getting pretty good at drinking it.  Lately and I don't know where this came from, after a few belts of wine his wife and my wife have started demanding we do a little dancing.   ?????   My brother and I dance?????   And not with each other.  Well maybe that will be the theme this time.  lol  Well when we get plied enough to not be shy we do get into the new program.  My youngest brother will be there too.  Our excuse is NFL Draft Party.  Hey whatever works.  We are joking about him bringing a date. (or a hooker)  (joking)  We like to raz him.  A good time will be had by all.  I will bring him a chunk of my salami I made and will provide the breakfast sausage for Sat. morning.  Man is that easy and I like it.  Want to try another recipe soon.  Just kept it bulk and make patties.  How easy.  

I did not like you guys in pain.  I saw the sick comment about us liking your pain so that is why.   BUT I do like you, just so you know..    Hope some warm weather helps all of those pains.  I could use some warm weather too.  

We got us a big strong WR last night.  I waited and waited and fell asleep.  Darn so then I had to back up the DVR to find the Vikes.  Seems to have a little attitude from what I saw so hope he doesn't think he is too bad of a dude.  Playing with the big boys should wake him up.  I am excited to see who else we get.

Too bad we can't find a place to all meet with campers.  Hard to find a lot of spots at one place.  That Lasalle State Campground just north of Itasca Park looks like a nice place.  It is a fairly new campgrounds too.  It even has wifi throughout the grounds for those who need it.  Check it out Boar.  You seem the most motivated to get something going.  

Ok see ya all later, I got to start packing.  Will check in later.

keyword search LPS' writing;  Rockwood, wine, dancing, salami, hookers.   I think nearing retirement is getting too him. With a resume like that if you're looking for part time work bagging groceries in Baudette you've got no chance.  Too many older guys that go to church applying for the same job as a heathen like you.

I got about three hours of sleep last night, tops.  I feel like Prince except taller and more alive.  Heading to cabin and I've got to pack some tools.  Whatever tools I forget will make for more fishing, we'll see how my packing goes.

[Boar]

(yawn) mornin. Chores done, cutworm moths perused, .06" of rain, 39 degrees at 6:30. Warming up nicely so will dig up some soybeans after lunch to see what their temperament is. In the meantime: payroll, check, bills paid, check, went to bank, check, talked to cutie at post office, check. Hoping rain stays away tomorrow during our cruise. My passenger side window wants to slide open a crack so at least Mrs. Cheviot will have something to complain about while we're on the move. Oh well, I just hope LPS pressure washed the inside of that Rockwood before he takes off. Ta ta!  

[leechlake]

Let's try phone posting. At cabin and I really like it here.  I like the view of the lake, I like the birds sounds more, I like walking out to dock, I like that we pulled boat and motor out of lake and left uncovered all Winter and it started flawlessly, I like the new cute bartender in town.  I'm even going to like doing chores today.  A good attitude goes a along way to liking life and not grumbling.
