Hi everyone! Here's a couple things I've been up to...aced a Med Terminology test, trying to get the book "A Hundred Years of Solitude" read for book club(a group of high school friends-it's a great way to stay in touch too), grouse road hunted with my hubby (I don't hunt but like to go along anyway), started to get excited about ice fishing since we had our 1st frost! We bought these really neat LED string lights for our ice houses. What's everyone else been up to? Does anyone have any good book ideas? Which lakes do any of you fall fish/ice fish on?

I'm not in a book club, so I didn't think I really had anything to add.

I have two daughters in cross country, so most of my time is spent "running" after them. The oldest daughter is a junior in high school and keeps a very busy schedule. Fall is also our busy season on the farm. Most of my time is spent running for parts, bringing out dinner, running after our three kids, and trying to keep the house together. When the crops are off, I get to spend most of my day in the tractor pulling the chisel plow. Life is crazy around here in the fall, but I wouldn't trade it for anything!

Farmall's are red... Know why they are red? So they can hide next to the barn when the big green tractors go by.

Know why John Deer's are green? So they can hide in the grass when the big red tractors come by.

Wish that i lived on a farm... If I ever win the lottery maybe... but I will never be able to buy one. take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Out by Hutchinson. I know a few folks down by Marshall. Boerbooms for one.

We run green. I usually get asked why I'm not out in the fields working when I come home from school and go hunting.

FYI to anyone, Farmalls and Case International Harvester or Case IH are red, at least those are the traditional colors. But when most people reference red and green, they are talking about Case and John Deere respectively.

Seeing a lot of pheasant while puttering around fishinchicks?

There are quite a few pheasants around here. There were pretty good numbers around here last year as well.

Ton of Boerbooms around here. We finish hogs for one of 'em.

Lisa - I grew up in the Twin Cities, and learned how to drive the tractors after I married a farmer. I feel like I get to go play out in the fields every fall. I can shut off my cell phone if I don't want to talk to anyone, and pretty much be in solitude. smirk.gif

If you like MN authors, try Stanley Gordon West. A few of his books take place in 1949 St. Paul. If you grew up there or are at least familiar with the area, the books are really cool. Quick reads with great stories, too. They can be read in any particular order and are called

"Finding Laura Buggs"

"When They Bring the Streetcars Back"

"Growing an Inch"

Yeah, I'm sure you finish hogs for the one I know. Bright kid, good leader, wants to come back and run the farm as I understand it. I might get on his case to do some pheasant hunting down that way....never been to SW MN in the fall....

Would that be Mike? We live about 5 miles or so north of his parent's place.

Great areas to hunt down here. My hubby hit a pheasant with our minivan and pushed the grill in. Used to be that we would have to watch out for deer. Now it is both deer and pheasants!

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
