    Good luck,

    Ron, I was hoping that may lessen the pressure on Gull. Any pointers on Gull crappies if walleyes are as slow as Big Stone this year

    Dave, I’ll be at Lost Lake Lodge. Say hi if you see a white Skeeter with IDA stickers

    As you know, this time of year the crappies are moving to warmer water looking to feed. The channels between the lakes, the cuts on Grassy Point, any shallow back water areas, shoreline wood (beaver dams), and last years reed beds, all should be holding crappies.

    Good Luck guys

    Took my pickup in to have a temp control/fan issues resolved. Found out it actually is two parts that need replaced. However, they both require a majority of the dash be removed. $1100.00 later though, I should have a functional heating/cooling system.

    I guess gambling on NOT buying that extended warranty wasn’t the right bet.

    You know, it wouldn’t be so bad but tabs are due Monday, $350.00 and I need tires very soon. I hope someone, somewhere is laughing cuz I’m not.

    The good news, I’ll be sitting in a tree stand 7 days from now. My kids will be hanging with Grandma and Grandpa. I’ll also get to have a cold one with my oldest friend. Life ain’t so bad.

    I’m sure your wife feels the same way Kooty…”Boy that truck is costing us a fortune, but at least he’ll be sitting in a tree stand so it’s all good!”

    My wife is sitting in Orlando this week at Disney world and Sea World. Her company took everyone who got a promotion to Orlando for a week. I’m pretty sure I’m the last thing on her mind. I’m not even sure she misses the kids.

    By the sounds of it she’ll need that promotion to pay for the truck repairs!

    I should clarify…. I can do just about anything under 5 years since In service date, unlimited mileage, no questions asked, for my customers. Outside of that, I can still do alot of stuff, if I ask nicely I know at a minimum, that bill would be cut in half Kooty. You should ask them for this too.
