Boar...you might get hooked on this site with all those compliments...Great bio..Keep telling your wife she is 25. It will boost here ego and make you look like a great husband.

[Boar]

Yea I got confused with my fantasy marriage. What?.... fantasy football, fantasy nascar, it's all good. I still think they should have an expiration date in the marriage liscenes, every five years ya go back to the court house an have it renewed, or not. What? these are great ideas, I'm an idea man. Later boar

[Boar]

HHmmmm.. Tough crowd, tough crowd. hope I did'nt offend. See ya. Boar

[Lisa Almquist]

No offense taken boar! You're a funny dude. Not sure about expiration dates on marriage licenses though. I don't think I'd like to train a new hubby in yearly. hahahaha

[glenn57]

i hear ya lisa, that trainingof the spouse is hard, long, and tedious work.

[Gary Crichton]

I think Boar is 1 of us Glenn, You know just the other day I told my wife, I am going to trade you in for two 25 year old. She said good luck finding two 25 year old, that want anything to do with ya. She had a good point.

[Boar]

Howdy guyals, Now this must be love, my wife an I (my real one)had our 12th aniversery (what ever) 12th year of maritial bliss if you will, Oct. 11 an please dont ask why I got married durring peak hunting an fishing, I like the abuse I guesse. But anyway we go out fri the 10th right? right, an we eat at a buffet, things are starting off hot an heavy, we could'nt pull our loving gaze from each others plate with out thinking I have to try that, we were so into to each others refills of pop that we did'nt even notice we di'nt get a gift for one another, an to cap off all the romance and love we spend the rest of the night, yep you guessed it, furniture shopping. Boy I cant wait till next year, maybe well even remember prior to the day before. Later boar

[DonBo]

What a romantic...my wife would have loved an evening like that for our anniversary.

[glenn57]

i agree. what a guy boar is. gifts arent everything. spending the evening should of been good enough, right? hey as long as mrs. boar appreciated it so be it. next year i can see it, spend ann in boat,duck blind, or who knows.

[Boar]

We had a great time, it'was just funny to think about it in those terms, we spent 30 bucks on the buffet an that was it for the night, we went home happy an content to just have the time together. One of these years I'm gonna get on the rainy river in Oct. boar

Great post! Very interesting to read to through the biographies.

Hello all! My name is Brett Moen. I am single ,nearly 28 years of age (Halloween,isn't that Spooktacular?) and I live in Jacksonville Beach, FL. I grew up maily in the Milaca area, though I did live in the Browns Valley and Glenwood areas when I was younger. I have been a Non-destructive Testing Technician for General Electric for the majority of the last five years. I travel often throughout U.S. and occasionally overseas while performing inspections on gas turbines in power plants. I unfortunately have not been able to spend much time in Minnesota as of late much to my chagrin. I am planning on buying a place in the Pine River area about this time next year, so I have that to look forward to. Looking for something with 5 or more acres and good sized shop so I can tinker around.

As a kid I did not get the chance to do a whole lot of fishing or hunting, but I have become very interested in the outdoors over the last several years. I cannot explain how much I love ice fishing nowadays! I own a 10 x24 ice house on Mille Lacs which I will be remodeling over the month of December with the help of my brother-in-law. I've been so anxious to get back home and get started on it that I find it hard to sleep at night thinking of the days ahead on the hardwater. It's not helping matters any that I spend a few hours a night on this site either!

Aside from ice fishing I also enjoy canoeing, camping, mountain biking, reading, playing guitar, listening to music, snowmobiling, four wheeling, and recently, frisbee golf.

[Jim Almquist]

Hey Brett I just got done reading your bio and I was wondering if you have ever worked with Paul Knock ? We grew up together and He works for GE on the power plant turbines. Right know he is on a 6 month job over in japan so we haven't talked in a while.

[glenn57]

hey brett welcome. you should not have a problem finding a place in the pine river area as there are lotz of places for sale up north. power plant testing? our trade goes into those power plants and does the repairs on there outages. bt the way nice t-shirt.

[Lisa Almquist]

Hi Brett-nice to meet you. Thanks for putting your bio in! I, too, LOVE ice fishing! Like glenn said, that is one sharp t-shirt!

[Reynolds]

Jimalm, the name doesn't ring a bell. Do you happen to know what his job title is? I know one of the guys I work with has done some inspection work over in Japan recently. Next time I see him I will have to ask him if he has run into your friend over there. Would not surprise me at all. In fact, I am working outside of Dallas right now and the Project Manager's wife is from Pillager and the Millwright Foreman is from the Wadena area. Sure is nice to chat with folks from back home.

Glenn57, I do a lot of liquid penetrant and ultrasonic testing of compressor blades, eddy current of dovetails, and remote visual inspection of generators on GE 7F Turbines. I assume you are a millwright from what you had mentioned? Do you yourself ever make it out to the gas turbine sites? I only know of a couple in Minnesota, neither of which I have been to.

[glenn57]

no i am not a millwright. i be a boilermaker and take care of the shops in our juridiction. so i dont get out to see the powerplants much at this point.

[NAMASafetyDirector]

Hey Brett, good to meet ya! I'm a Halloween'er too! I'll be 34 this time around! Time fly's.....have a good one on Friday! NAMA..

Brett I am pretty sure he is a millwright or something like that cause it sounds like they rebuild the turbines. Maybe part of a installation or upgrade team.

Hey Brett! Welcome.

[Citori]

I've looked at the site for years now. I guess now I finally had something to say so started posting last week. I'm 33 years old. I live in Moorhead, MN with my two sons and dog (lab). I like doing anything that gets me outside. Spend most of my time in the Detroit Lakes area. Love to hunt grouse, deer and go ice fishing. Currently trying to get oldest son excited about ice fishing. He loved it when he was younger. Now he isn't to excited to get out there. I don't want to force it. Any ideas?

[hopeforfish]

Welcome Citori,

The site has been fairly quite today. I agree that you should not force the ice fishing issue. Just keep offering and reminding him how much fun he used to have. Take him to a spoting goods store to intice him. That is just a couple of ideas from me.

Hope

[Sandmannd]

Welcome aboard Citori, nice to have you posting. My brother lives in Fargo and runs the bands at Playmakers or whatever it's called now.
