    There is less than 50 days left in the session and neither version has even had a hearing in a committee. They can’t get any agreement on the first step in passing a budget. There is zero chance that these bills go anyplace. Look at the names on the bills. It’s the same band of citiots that try to ban anything and everything.

    Spray some permethrin in the area they cross. It will help get rid of ticks and … your problem.

    My dad and I starting going back when it was in the armory I think. If I remember right it ran two weekends or maybe even a week back then. I haven’t been for at least a dozen years. The last time was when my son was little. He managed to score a bunch of freebies before it was time to go. Since then the shine pretty much wore off, and each year was exactly the same stuff and same people. It was just easier to go to Thorne Bro’s or Capara’s and get the same pricing with better service, but without the crowds, parking and ticket price.

    Contrary to popular belief there has been a lot of research into largemouth and small mouth bass populations in Minnesota and neighboring states/provinces. The findings are what is supporting a year around season, with part of it being C&R.

    As far as walleye, they are easy pickings when spawning. Not to mention the tradition of the fishing opener.

    I’d love to see 3M, Target, Medtronic, Polaris… dump millions into NIL and buy teams like the SEC does. They win a couple national titles and we can all talk about the good old days of Minnesota sports when we’re in the old fisherman’s home.

    If my kids school isn’t in the tournament I root for the furthest team north and anyone playing Edina.

    I can’t believe Andover beat Rock Ridge. Andover was 12 and 13 going into the section tourney but finished the season strong.

    My condolences to you and your family Randy.

    You definitely deserve some time to rest and take care of yourself.

    If what we picked is “actually” worth $100 a bucket, I think making a $1,000 in a long day could possibly lol

    If they offer $50 a bushel for what we picked today because some are too old or there’s too many twigs, then I’ll light them on fire in the parking lot and cook some hotdogs with the Boys mrgreen

    You might as well get the hot dogs ready.

    Canada is so different from East to West it would be hard to pick a favorite. Similar to picking if you like Maine, Minnesota,North Dakota, Montana or Washington better. Each offer something totally different. I’ve been from Quebec to Manitoba and just those three are very different. Ontario is like northern Minnesota so that would be my pick, but I’d like to go to the maritimes at some point.

    As far as Canada being the 51st state, being a former Canadian I say not only no but h3ll no. That’s a whole can of worms we don’t need. It’s a nice place to visit but that’s it. Although it would be fun watching my relatives freak out. grin

    Do you like who you are today? If you do then you can’t really say you’d do anything major differently if you had the chance. Cuz then you wouldn’t be you, right? You’re you because of ALL your experiences good and bad throughout your life. waytogo

    Not many regrets in my rear view mirror. But if I could re—do a few things, I would treat a few people better, listen more, hold less grudges, and asked more girls to dance…

    Two best replies right there. My life is pretty darn good right now. Sometimes I’ve pondered what ifs and I come back to I wouldn’t be married to the woman that I am and my kids wouldn’t exist. My answer is I wouldn’t do anything to change where I am now. However I wouldn’t have scoffed at Bitcoin.

    When my dad’s cancer got bad he needed meds every couple of hours. He was pretty much out of it but you’d be surprised how strong an 81 year old with terminal cancer can be when they want to be. His girlfriend and I did what we could but he needed more care and equipment than we could give. We got him into an end of life care home where he lasted 5 days. It was two weeks of hell. I couldn’t imagine what you’re dealing with. God bless you Randy

    You can try Carmax too. I did some research when selling my Explorer and Carmax gave me a price in line with what I was looking for.

    Addictions tend to go hand in hand with mental illness. People self medicate, which does not work BTW, because they typically are too scared or proud to see someone for help. Especially us guys. The booze or drugs mask the pain for a bit but never solve anything. We assume we should be able to handle life and fix our own problems. Somewhere along the line it became embarrassing to get help with mental illness and if you saw a shrink you’re less than in some way. When in fact if you sat with a friend in a fish house and they said the same things as a therapist/counselor you’d claim they were a genius.

    I had it smoked once…once. It tasted a bit like castor.

    I assume they guy was bragging about the tackle he reps, about how great of a fisherman he and his buddies are…

    I personally would have switched to another species or headed out to clean fish and have a few beers.

    Trudeau is a lame duck quitter and Canada has an election later this year. The Conservative party is the odds on favorite right now to take control, which means Pierre Poilievre would be the Prime Minister. Trudeau is just doing what he feels he has to do to save face as his political career circles the bowl. I’m sure there will be news in the next few weeks that an agreement has been made and all is well.

    As far as renaming things, that has been going on a lot lately every time someone’s feelings got hurt.

    People don’t realize how much of an effect docks, cattails, bulrush etc can have on ice thickness. Let alone a freaking beaver dam.

    I’ve been thinking the same. Also wondering about getting around. I assume the ice is thick enough for driving but how about any specific bad places.

    The price went up $13 a year for 19′ and larger boats and $3 a year for 17-19′ boats if my math is correct. Seems pretty cheap as long as accesses are fixed.

    More than the average person? Probably hamburger. We eat that at least 3 times a week in different meals.

    I love the fact that teams that would have been left out of previous national championship games or 4 team “playoffs”, are the last left standing.
