Went fishing

[UdeLakeTom]

I went fishing and missed Idol....Caught nothing, along with the rest of the crowd. But it is the summer bunch and so we shared stories (?) about the winter.

OK Barb???

a bad day fishing is still wayyyyyyyyyyy better than a day at work,, trust me,, hubby went fishing yesterday, while I had to work :-(((

[UdeLakeTom]

He is a smart man!!!

I didn't go fishing today, instead I went to the dump and unloaded 5 bags of stinky trash and a bunch of recycling. Came home and opened up my Otter to make sure it is dry and guess what? There was still ice in the sled. Threw open some windows and aired the house out. Now I have to get the messy garage cleaned up and all my summer fishing stuff in order. Gotta be ready to hit the water as soon as the ice goes out.

[Gary Crichton]

You should be having a nice ice melting day today. Hopefully you all get some rain to go along with it.

The garage is also my weekend chore, but I have a 20 year old to help.

When did you have the surgery?

[FishNovice101]

I had the surgery on both knees on April 8. So, a little over a week ago.

Glenn - I would go get it, but it's 3 hours away, and I can't drive that far because my knees hurt by about 30 minutes.

Got some good news last night though. Hubby went to Walker to get the boat!!!!! It will be home by Sunday night.

[Iambjm]

Gee, I could have went there and got it for you.

[Iambjm]

Was supposed to go fishing with the LakeJumpers today, woke up with a splitting headache, runny nose, and watery eyes. Cleaning closets instead.

[FishNovice101]

Barb,

Hope you are feeling better soon so you can do some fishing.

Don will be home tomorrow night with the boat.

[mngirl]

Finally made it out tonight. I stayed out with a friend, her hubby, and their munchkin until dark. Didn't catch much, some nice sunnies, a couple of small bass, and a couple of smaller crappies. It was fun though, I stopped fishing at sunset to watch it. Nice to be able to do that finally and not freeze!!!!

[Lisa Almquist]

It's great to hear some of you got out fishing! Lucky!!

I've been working a lot (shocker there!!). I've been painting walls. Jim had surgery on his arm/wrist today so I'm keeping my eye on him. My son turns 15 on Wednesday and I'm feeling a little weird about that.

Char, are you healin' up ok? Any more pain?

Barb, hope you're not getting some crud.

[Iambjm]

I think it is allergies. I am busy getting involved with another project. It is called "Operation Minnesota Nice", people getting together all over the state and adopting soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. They get together once a month and send packages to the soldiers. Anyone wants to know more google the name. I have decided my retirement is going to be fulfilling and adventurous.

[Lisa Almquist]

Wow Barb!! You are one awesome lady! I'm going to go look up Operation Minnesota Nice right now.

Barb, hope you're not getting some crud. did jim have carpal tunnel surgery? wish him well. must be an old fishin injury. the CRUD is alive and well down this direction. been dealing with it for 10 days now.

[Lisa Almquist]

He had carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve surgery yesterday. He was up very early this morning and went to photograph some sharptail grouse already!

[Debbie K]

Lisa -

Good for him - I hear shooting sharptails is great physical therapy!!

[Lisa Almquist]

Well it sure was good mental therapy! My man sure knows how to use his days off-surgery or no surgery. I can't wait to see his pics. He should post them in the next couple hours.

[glenn57]

had that done to both my wrists years back. takes some time before i felt i had most my strength back but glad i had it done. main thing make sure to do the therapy like they say. maybe should assign him some household chores so he cant play so much.

[Lisa Almquist]

Jim doesn't need therapy. Maybe because they did it endoscopically?

[UdeLakeTom]

Debbie...I saw they were talking about leks around Tamarack, but isn't there another spot west of McGregor around Gun Lake??

[glenn57]

thats the way they did mine but still gave my a few exercises to do. anyway wish him a quick recovery.

[Lisa Almquist]

I hope he has a quick recovery! Opener is less than a month away!
