    I am not sure how long it has been blowing 20+ mph but if someone could turn off the wind machine it would be nice.

    I agree. Everyday seems to be windy.

    I have to agree also. On Mille Lacs and getting burnt out dealing with wind lately!

    It sure is nice for every other outdoor activity, though. Not having to deal with the damn bugs makes things sooo nice outdoors.

    I’ve been working on rehabbing the exterior of my small shop. The breeze is very welcomed to my old carcass as I do it all by myself!

    Agreed, we just can’t seem to have any balance, a little is fine but the non stop midwest hurricanes can end anytime.

    It would be welcome on the 90 plus days but it’s blowing like mad even the cooler days. Watch July and August will be 95 and no wind

    I don’t mind a little wind but this has been a tad extreme.

    I have been happily sitting on the deck until it gets dark – I’ll take it.

    I didn’t even like driving my 4runner in all that wind yesterday let alone the boat.

    The wind was very nice on the Croix yesterday. Would of been a sauna in some of those side channels without it.

    No kidding! It’s been super windy near me. Made for challenging fishing yesterday at a local pond. The wind also took down my large patio umbrella and put a hole in the fabric. Time to get a new one.

    AND… I noticed this morning my birdbath is broken! The top part toppled off the base and cracked upon landing. Not sure if the wind would have done that seeing as how the base is still standing. Perhaps a very fat squirrel was trying to take a bath. I got that birdbath as a bridal shower gift and I’m bummed to see it go. cry
