Viking on Riverside on rainout days. 400 & Palmers also on the West bank, as was Caesars were a buddy tended bar and made plenty of mistake drinks to be disposed.
The Joint & Cabooze were great music places.
Wahkon ballroom / a go go is still talked about revently around here. Farther north it was The White Pine in Deerwood, Silver Dollar in Trommald. 40 Club in Aitkin & also the Muni.
I lived out on Co 4 so I’d swing in to the Lakeview on Dam Lake if a light was on when I went by.

Try Fredricksons Marina in Wahkon.
Take Lake Shore Blvd to where Bennett forks off. Take Bennett to the end.
Not sure about how close power is though.

Prince Bait?

Forgot about them.

Try Terry or Bruce Huberty on the east side of Mille Lacs.
Terry’s # is 612 390 2474.
I don’t have a # for Bruce but the brothers share a shop.
Their place is in Aitkin Co., between 47& the lake & between East Side Marina and Fishers / Castaways/ Malmo. I have had both do work for me.
You could try Lybacks in Isle too. I’d actually call Lybacks 1st. They are a Merc dealer.

dawn

Hot water and Dawn scrubbed in and then put newspaper over and brush the newspaper down with a floor broom. The Dawn lifts the oil and being lighter than water it is trapped in the newsprint.
It may take a couple applications and may never totally remove the stain.

Talk to your flat work contractor about your options as to slab curling and how he feels about pouring directly on top of a vapor barrier.
If he doesn’t know about slab curling, well good luck.

Hope to go out for a bit tomorrow. I will tell you we had a hell of a midge hatch the last couple days. NW wind blew em right to me.

Ain’t that the truth. Lot’s of carcass’ on the drive / sidewalk.

That’s what I used in my field trialing blank pistol. They work fine.

The Tribe is using the 1874 treaty to slowly draining the $ out of the community till resorts go belly up so they can snatch them up.

^^^ THIS × 2 !!! ^^^
BUT It is more than resorts that the band buys. Actually they will buy commercial / retail property if below market.

Economic siege warfare is my categorization. There is maybe 5% of the normal tourism for the walleye opener week. We’ll see what Bass is like.
No boats driving on the lake. None tied up at resorts by me. I saw 4 rigs at the Isle landing yesterday.
As for lobbying, both sides take $$$. They can argue & hide and do nothing. The band is fine with that.

Warm enough last Sunday that a boat hoist was put in wearing swim trunks.

Assemble the countertop w/o gluing (final install is when it is the time to glue the joints) using the pull tight connectors.
I would put a piece of masking tape on each side of the joint and fine pencil marks to insure alignment when ready for final assembly. Also put a line of masking tape on the countertop edges (I bet you don’t have a backsplash,either molded in or separate) so you have a surface ( tape) to mark on.
If the walls being out of square is greater than 90 degrees then have an equal gap from the laminate to the gyp at the ends of each leg of the top. Use a divider set to what ever the gap is at each end and start grinding. Setting the top so the gab is equal on each leg is the key. Grind and fit. A 36 grit belt will really help. Also sand down from the top to facilitate some under cutting and to avoid ravelling the edge.
I’ve had success at times “pulling” walls to casework.
Get this project done and you can move on to doing alcove tops where a rosin pattern is made.

My bad on the typo.
I know of some people down in Wahkon that have Sea Legs. They said besides adding weight the caught water at higher speeds.
I do have a neighbor that has them but I don’t see that boat out on the water much. Teenage kids use it as a docked patio.
I’m fortunate in that adding dock footage results in getting more depth. I have another 32′ to add if needed. I’m right at 120′ feet now.

The Mille Lacs Messenger is now publishing water levels from the US Geological Survey taken at the Cove public access. For a while the data was not available.
4/22 8 am 1251.63 ft
20 year average 1352.80 ft
14 yr low (2007) 1249.93
19 yr high (2002) 1253.08

From 2002 to 2007 the lake dropped 3.15 feet or roughly
3′-2 1/4″.

As of 4/22 we were .17 of a foot below ave.

This weekend has raised it a good 3″ in my view.

If I still had my engineers folding rule for site work I’d be more accurate for converting from tenths of a foot into inches.

The Garrison large lake specialist was at the Wahkon access when the crew was out trying to trap female Muskys for artificial fertilization for Tiger Musky stocking in the Metro.
Gave me a lot of time answering questions. Eric Jenson and offices out of Garrison.
Said treaty harvest quotas were close to closing and was perplexed how they were successful trapping male Muskies but not so much on females. Thinking the spawn may have been earlier.
It was this morning Friday 4/26

I live on Mille Lacs and as a kid I would be standing on the end of the dock throwing a Lazy Ike at……earlier than legal but I was 11. Morning I’d pile into the F7 Alumacraft, fire up the 10hp Evinrude and head out to rock piles.
As cold as it is forecast I might get my dock in before May 11.
Just not as anxious as before.

Lots of work around routes that locals will take. I.E. take Co 1 out of town, across river & take the Great River Road back to 169 north of 210. Also take the gravel vs GRR to Swatera, hang a rt and get back on 169 south of Hill City.
County 4 is a good paved road. It was gravel when I lived off it 48 yrs ago.

WTF. Radon is a proven carcinogenic. Why wouldn’t you do all you can if it is seeping into your home?
Code requires venting in MN for new construction is my understanding. Like I wrote I didn’t have to in my LGU but it wss so easy and I believe in redundancy in engineering.
Retrofitting? It is what it is.

When I wa the GC on my slab on grade place on Mille Lacs I installed a PVC piping system. A perforated pipe in river rock under the slab that joins a pipe going up through the 1st & 2nd story walls and out the roof. The “stack effect” should pull air out but if radon ever becomes an issue the is an access to the area and we marked the pipe and the powered Jbox right where the draft inducing fan would be cut into the stack.
No code where we are so I was not compelled to do this. It just makes sense given the later costs

Ground contact treated wood foundation walls on a graded granular bed, as described by Eric, was gaining popularity 40 or so years ago. I never did an install or framed on top of one.
I have seen a CMU wall bow like that. It was next door to a place I was the framing / exterior finish contractor. Developer had his other sub build that one. A big 2 story walkout colonial. When the Parade of Homes happened the public walked past the cribbing and house moving beams holding the place up and across the space excavated for front wall access on a walkway. Basement was laid up in the winter. Walkout wall and cap framed & heat thrown in the basement. Backfill was heavy saturated frozen clay. Text book FUBAR, until it isnt.
Insulated Concrete Forms would be how I would have built my retirement home basement, if it had a basement. Instead it is S on G with infloor heat.

You are not going to be able to push the wall back in place from the inside.
Figure the side of the building will have to be excavated down to the footings at a minimium. The source causing the bow needs to be discovered. Then it will likely start costing you real money. Hire a professional. I repeat. Hire a pro.
Frankly I’d be seeking serious legal help. I’m not legal help but I have spent 40 years in the commercial and residential const business.
Good luck.

The cold hard truth is that BOTH political parties, in the end, gain from this dissension.
GOP wins votes on the social issue.
DFL gets a few tribal votes & serious tribal $$$$.

The Rez system is nothing but appartied in the USA. A class of people being treated differently on their ethnicity.

I agree with both of the above.

I’ll have some crawlers and blades in the boat.

Better ways to the west side of Brainerd & Baxter than MN 18 to 25 to the traffic jam 210 is.

Ben has a sign at the Beachside access that it will be closed until 1/31.
Also all houses to be off.
His crew has been pulling their rental houses all day.
I have never seen this early of a shutdown.

Beachside has been pulling skid houses off and it appears taking them right to their laydown / storage lot on the southend of Wahkon’s Main St.
Access was closed yesterday.

Plenty of traffic out of Wahkon this weekend but lots of houses got pulled off Sunday.
12 to 16 inches but the accesses take a beating in this weather.

I would say no problem as long as you are cognizant that you aren’t getting cooling from the snow.
Plenty of slush & puddles on the ice.
Lots of traffic again this afternoon
