Had planned on some dock building in mid-May up at the LOTW, but just got this yesterday....



Not sure how excited I am about a dock job in the snow. Is winter hanging-late anywhere else this year? We've had the driest April here on record so-far, and no end in sight. I'm headed out shortly to fire-up my sprinklers to keep my trees and grass from expiring. Weird weather here anymore, and elsewhere too obviously.

This is what I was hoping to be seeing....

Most of the lakes are still frozen, north of the cities, Lloyd. Couple farmers I know made the decision not to fertilize this year, ground temps locally aren’t even 50 degrees, they will be planting late, compounding their woes.


The good news is the green weenies have shut the hell up for a spell. You can point out that the usual suspects have been wrong on every single prediction they made since the first earth day, in 1970, but, it doesn’t really make the impact that a good, old fashioned cool wet spring does. It was too cold this year to have our earth day celebration of lighting all the two strokes up at once, and the ceremonial burning of a tire.

Hold the dock building off until school is out. You’ll get more help.

It was in jest, Stan. Lloyd’s cabin sits in a pretty spot in the universe. Any practice shooting I need to get done would be done before I got there. I’m either hunting grouse or fishing, when in that part of the world, or, an activity related to either, say, grilling, eating, drinking beer, or some other foolishness.

The WMA at Red Lake is fairly unique by Minnesota standards, in that camping is permitted, and there is an unimproved shooting range on site. Both are typically forbidden on WMAs in Minnesota.

Appears to be a shortage of "greenhouse gases" in the atmosphere. I'm thinking of setting fire to my compost heap.
