I remember WCCO as Boone & Erickson for the morning drive and Cannon the afternoon drive. But, i may have that turned around, it’s been awhile.
You got it right. They always started the show with the Good Morning Good Morning jingle. Was always up early to go fish Mille lacs with dad and Mom packing us a nice lunch. Radio was on in the kitchen while Mom was getting things ready and getting the coffee going.
For the old guys on here, who else listened to the Cannon Mess? At the height of his popularity, it was the most listened to program in the entire country. I sure miss the barking dogs, Ma Linger, and Backlash Larue.
Along with Boone and Erickson. If we were going fishing or hunting with Dad that was what we listen to unless it was out of range which took a lot. If we were out west a ways it was the Polka station out of New Ulm.
We have maybe an 1 1/2″ of snow overnight. I guess the worst of the storm is yet to come but the weather map looks like later then sooner.
I laugh because of all of the schools and collages in the Duluth area that have all ready closed and we have not had 1 flake so far. Overnight we might have 4″ and the heaviest will be tomorrow afternoon.

We’ve got some snow covering the layer of hail from the other day.I think you’re the resident expert on the big lake over there. How much snow did you guys get? I’m not scared of a little slop on the boat but I’d rather not get it completely trashed. What do you think it will be like tomorrow on the lake and roads? I was kinda thinkin it might still be rockin from today?
I would be more worried about the ice then anything else. I could believe the ramps are going to be a skating rink. Since the hail Friday night it has been below freezing till today where we are suppose to hit 40. The ramps on Superior could be ice free due to it staying above freezing close to shore.
Most all is on your drivers license now. The DNR and the license bureau share their data base now.
I’m picky on the bobber stops I use. I will only use Thill. They are more expensive but they don’t slip on the line and stay tied.
The bad ones seem to be made out nylon and slip much easier. The good ones will tighten up great once you wet them.
Thill has some weighted bobbers that you can add more lead to the bottom. I see that Scheels has them. Try to get a kit that has more weights and the rubber O rings. Might have to goggle that one.
I have one that I was going to sell next fall. It did not even see the ice the past 3 years and now I have a Core Ice it will not get used. Have the tow hitch that folds over and a cover. I am up in Carlton but get down to the cities every now and then.
My gutters filled up with the pea size hail and now it is more then likely a frozen mess with inch of sloppy snow. The forecast is not all that great for the up coming week. In like a lamb and out like a lion I guess.
Every night the white noise machine is on and pretty loud. It helps me fall asleep faster and the wife doesn’t hear me snore quite as loud.
Here in Carlton the ground was covered with pea size hail. The thunder was non-stop for about 10 minutes. Now its just windy and cold.

Coincidentally, speaking of being worried about stupid bills, I just found this one:HF1540. “Thoroughbred Racehorse Residency Program”. Purpose- stimulate Minnesota’s equine industry and support stable hands….
Racehorse owners will receive $750 everyday one of their horse’s race; if said horse is boarded at a MN racetrack for 120 or more days a year..
Note this is per horse- they could get $3,000 in one day if they own and enter 4 horse’s. It would be funded by tax payer dollars coming from the general fund.Bill authors:
Ben Bakeberg (R)
Brad Tabke (D)Send in DOGE. What a crock.
I feel the same way and it better not pass. Total crock of manure!!!
I have had it for a long time. Might have started when working security at a Ted Nugent concert. Working right in front of the stage. Also went to a lot of concerts in my youth. Could have been all of my hunting for Pheasants late in the season and using 3″ mags. Rings loud unless I can get my brain to stop thinking about it then it seems to lower the volume. If it works for B-man I will find a way to scrap up the cash but pissed that insurance doesn’t cover at least some of the cost.
That is messed up that insurance will not cover !!
Let us know how the device works !! Need to calm mine down a notch or two !
I have seen the ice out once and it was amazing. Hearing the Robins singing yesterday brought me back to my youth. Love hearing them sing.
Western suburbs of Minneapolis inside the ring.
From ESPN: Another big quarterback domino of 2025 NFL free agency has fallen. Quarterback Russell Wilson signed a one-year deal worth up to $21 million with the New York Giants on Tuesday night. The deal includes $10.5 million guaranteed.
Here’s another dumb scenario. A feral cat is killing song birds and its OK but if you did it, you would be charged a federal crime. They can’t have it both ways.
My guess is that they thought with the storm passing over there would be some nice waves and more then likely drove a distance to get to Duluth. Got to play the hand your dealt.
Let us know how the Bluetooth works as far as the features. On my Ionic the best feature is the amp draw and how long it will run at that rate of draw. It was interesting to see how much my livescope was drawing and how much it helped turning down the brightness.
So far this storm really has not amounted to much. I would guess a little rain and a 1/4″ of crusty snow. I really hope this is all we get.
You get to see what is going on your license before it is sent in. Just double check that it all looks good before approving.
If you have an Enhanced license they do not print the DNR indicators on them.
The DNR and License Division share there data base with each other.
If they scan your license they are there. I just renewed mine and I asked to have my lifetime fishing license added and she said it was already there. I guess its in the QR code. When you renew it will have License Indicators: Firearm Safety Certificate, Fishing License, Living Will/Health Care Directive, Senior and in my case Organ Donor = Y and Veteran =Y
I put them out May 1st knowing they will be here between the 10th and the 15th.
So far everything has been to the east of me. Looked at the history and we got .2 of rain and nothing but fog since I got up.
I have to believe that with the wind coming off lake superior I am going to get diddly squat out of this storm. Was hoping to maybe hear some thunder but now we will be lucky to get some rain. I don’t think it even hit 45 today. I checked and we hit 51 at 13:30.
A buddy was out on Wed. on a lake about 50 miles N or St. Cloud. GThere were still full sixed trucks driving out.
I have made that mistake before at this time of the year. Drove out and drilled a bunch of holes. Seemed like a good 20″ of ice. About 10:00 decide to drill a few more and there was 8-10″ of good ice and the rest was honeycomb. Packed it up and left as quick as I could.
I was out the past two days and have done great on panfish. Yesterday was my last day. The ice was honeycomb top to bottom and about 18-20″ thick. The rain will make it black very soon. Time to get the boat ready !!
