    It’s HOT! I didn’t even go outside today for more than a few minutes.

    FYI, the record MN high temperature was set in 1936 @ 114 degrees! That tied the previous record, which was set in 1927. http://www.netstate.com/states/alma/mn_alma.htm

    Dude, I had to take the boat out today, not really my idea, so dang hot! I was ok on the water, but I would rather not went at all, but the brother and sister wanted to go out for a ride in the new boat, it was crazy on the lake today, only saw 2 fisherman, rest of the boats were either parked with the people swimming ot towing tubers.

    Was up guy and gals. Do you not realize you live in the upper mid west. This weather is great. I hate to say it but are you the same folks that stair out your windows in febuary and say it is to cold out? Here is a big tip for the day. Get out of the boat and get in the water. This weather is great. Cant imagine sitting in a boat all day fishing in it. Sitting in the water in a lawn chair and waiting for the fish to come to you, just cant beat it. This is wonderfull ad I cant waite for more of it. See you in the water again tomorrow. If any one wants to join us we will be launching out of Franconia around noon and I would be happy to provide Taxi service to nearest sand bar at rock island. Its to hot to do anything else.

    How’s this sound guys. Wednesday’s forecast High of 79 and a low of 60. Of course this change in weather will be blowing in a storm but we need the rain too. Sounds like a win/win situation to me.

    This morning I rolled out of bed and it was already in the low 80’s. Then I went to the shop to meet my wonderful boss (NOT) Then we all got to start the day off with pouring 15 yards of concrete…in a basement….with absolutely NO air movement. Before we had the first truck emptied out, I had already drank 68 ounces of Gatorade, water, and of course Dr.Pepper By the next truck, I had sweated all that fluid out easy. I was sweating so much, I actually had standing water in my boots……..YUCK Did I ever tell you I love my job in the dog days of summer? If I did….I LIED
    I am still trying to recover from the heat. My arms and legs are still cramping big time
