We have needs for sure. Twitter doesn’t seem to be working for me so getting updates on things is harder. Watching cowherd now. WTF is Seattle doing? Trading Geno and Metcalf? I haven’t seen the return so maybe they did well but this really put a whole through their offense.
They admitted to going into TOTAL rebuild mode.
They are stock piling draft picks and already have like 4 or 5 in the 1st 3 rounds.
Well my post was from a year ago.
And I have CRS so who knows.
I am assuming there was a post before mine that revived it? But it got deleted somehow?
Best I got.
Check with Kevin in LC.
KcKarts.
If he can’t help, he probably knows someone who can.
Quote: The Vikes had an easier schedule because that’s how the NFL does it. The Vikes had a poor year in 2023 so they end up with an easier schedule.
Prior to the start of the 2024 season, the expert calculation said they were tied for the 16th hardest schedule.
I don’t think that equates to having an “easier schedule”
And this was in May 2024 from Sports Illustrated:
Vikings’ Strength of Schedule Among NFL’s Five Toughest in 2024.
That’s what Sharp Football Analysis has done. Using those Vegas win totals, the Vikings have the fifth-hardest schedule in the league this year. Only the Steelers, Patriots, Browns, and Ravens have tougher slates.
I must be missing something.
D rated tires are rated at “up to 40 MPH”.
Most of the time I’m on the highway running 60 MPH if not much higher.
Wouldn’t that mean using a tire rated at J or above?
Battery socks
Wear any comfortable boot and turn em on when needed.
Only thing that keeps my tootsies warm!
Close to Rochester.
Nope, we got no snow and none coming anytime soon.
Another weird Winter…
Quick 5 minute walk today.
Most of them are still holding but I’ve seen a couple the last few days that are missing 1 side. Pretty early yet to look very hard but was nice to find this.

Nothing better than a new little buddy!
Congrats!
Love the name too.
I can almost smell the puppy breath! I love that smell for whatever reason.
Horseradish recipe:
I can’t stand the stuff. Brings tears to my eyes.
My Dad used to make it or should I say, had me make it, at least the grinding part.
We’d dig horseradish roots, a lot of em. Finding them these days might be tough but we found them on the edges of corn fields on my uncle’s land.
Wash em, peel em or scrub very hard if not peeled.
We put em through a grinder. Holy hell on my eyes!
Then add:
Vinegar, sugar and a little salt.
Liquid should cover the ground horseradish.
He added either sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk, can’t remember which on, to keep it the white color.
Wait a few days and dig in.
I can still smell the stuff.
He ate it straight out of the jar sometimes.
Playoff Bracket.
Vikings will play Detroit again if they get past the Rams.

TTT
Price dropped to $400 or OBO for the set.
That’s interesting and actually, a little scary at the same time.
I never agreed with the attempt to wipe out the whole herd in a given area.
So now CWD will go unchecked and I’m guessing, the 5% would grow every year.
Until what end?
And it just keeps spreading to what end?
What’s the other one out there? EHD or something like that?
This is far from over.
I’m having a hard time seeing what the future brings but I can’t see many positives…
I have no idea what I googled before and couldn’t find them.
I ain’t even had a drink…yet.
Thanks BC !
These retailers are pretty tricky.
What you see is for size Large.
If you click on XL, the price jumps to 299.99!
Thanks though!
It looks like the XL size is 300 each.
So 600 total.
I’d take 500 for both in that case.
Bc – where did you you see that?
I googled the heck out of it and came up empty.
Is there an actual name for these or model to look for?
what are they worth to you just sitting there and not getting used?? price them to sell and get what you can that way..
You’re not helping, you know that right!
Feel free to keep scrolling if you have nothing of any value to add.
I’m getting a few PM’s asking how much I want for these.
I honestly don’t know, hence the reason I asked for offers.
Any neutral parties out there that could give me a fair value price on them?
XL.
I decided to sell them just today.
Will see if I get any offers cuz I really hadn’t thought about a firm price.
Amen Tom!
Happy Thanksgiving ya’ll!
Thanks Jimmy!
I did talk to Nodak but the price was more than wanted to spend.
I retire in March so I’ll have time to get my boat out and get er going again. It’s been stored for quite a few years after the wife beat breast cancer. That really changed things for a few years.
I’ll be ready to hit the water next Spring. Looking forward to using it again!!

By Golly, just when I thought I’d seen it all…Wait….. that’s not your pool. I thought you told me you had one get out of your patent deer confinement area before you could get to processing.
Ixnay on the odsgay !!!

These numbers are estimated by insurance companies since so few are reported to law enforcement.
Minnesota – 40,000
Wisconsin – 70,000
So you think the Insurance companies estimated these numbers for the heck of it?
40,000 claims in MN alone and you think they just ignore that?
There was a post about this exact topic a while back but I’m too lazy to look it up.
I believe it stated something about the legislature determining the DNR deer quotas not the DNR itself or at least having a major say in it. The insurance companies have lobbyists in every state, count on it. Not 1 or more dedicated to deer but a whole array of topics.
The insurance companies are to blame for the liberal bag limits.
At least a large portion of the blame.
They spend a lot of money on lobbying and influencing everybody from politicians to DNR brass.
They’d prefer every deer was dead.
Now my local body shop would prefer they not even have a deer season!
I tried bringing up Curleys Sausage Kitchen and their website won’t load.
Anyone know if they went out business?
Looks like Finny had the same problem and wondering.

I’m almost afraid to say anything these days for fear of the sharp shooters that could be used.
I’ve had very different results and I’m not that far from Jimmy S.
We’ve seen plenty of does and fawns. I’ve seen wayyyy too many small scrapper bucks. Like as in 4″ spikes and forks. And bucks that only have 1 side. I’m still hoping to see what broke em all!
Before season A started, I saw a bunch of nice bucks but no trophy’s.
We only take bruiser bucks and wait for this coming weekend for a couple does. Or wait and take our does in season B with dm tags.
Plus, I can still hunt with the bow for a trophy.
No, I won’t hunt the special season in December. I too do not like these special seasons.
I was all for the youth hunt until they included everybody. It should go back to youth only.
I know exactly where Jimmy S hunts. That is crazy that you aren’t seeing much.
I will say this year is weird. I saw zero deer before the season running in the open. With all the corn out, they should have been all over but they weren’t.
I’m still upset with the DNR’s “Kill em All” approach. Literally in 642 we can gun hunt from opening weekend through late December. Ridiculous and hope many more like me won’t!!
Jimmy – you don’t mean hunting with a gun, do you? In 642.
Like if you hunt A season, you can’t hunt B season, right?
We can gun hunt A or B? Not both. But you could hunt archery then the muzzle loader season and back to archery. Plus the Dec. CWD 3 day season
