Agreed, Joe, about Hartman’s laziness last night. He stood out for the wrong reasons.

My wife wouldn’t let me hang a string of Shadlings on the Xmas tree, but I could on the mirror of the guest bathroom.

I was the biggest hockey rube back then. Never missed a game and went to many of the home games. I was so pissed when they left that I swore I would never watch hockey again. I have never seen more than 10 minutes of the Wild. Still irritates the living F@#$ out me that the NHL let them leave. Won’t watch the Doc because I just don’t care !!

You should watch it. It’s good therapy. Lots of like minded fans, employees, writers, reporters interviewed with the same attitude about the owner that will go nameless. A memory that was brought back to me was the grassy incline around the Met. I completely forgot about it. I caught a few rays there waiting for summer concerts to start.

The guy has issues.

He was on for 7 hours. That’s an incredibly long haul. I watched the first hour, and the last hour. It was good entertainment.

Wow, a 75lb laker. Too bad it wasn’t certified because it would have broken the current world record by 3lbs.

Well count me as one of those power sports employees. Next chapter in life here we come.

That sucks. Good luck to you. Hopefully you find something better!

Slippers or a pair of shoes. Especially when you’re crawling out of bed late at night to go to the bathroom.

With the best agent in all of sports. It’s crazy how much money he’s made with such a thin resume.

Korkers; lightweight, dont look like bigfoot boots; great Customer Service

My favorite boots by far. Their cleat system has been a game changer for me. I’ve been out ice fishing 4 times this year on near glare ice and I’m reminded why these boots rock.

The Vikings re-activated K Will Reichard from IR and release K Parker Romo.

Romo went 11 of 12 on FGs and 7 of 8 on PATs while filling in for the injured Reichard. Not bad for a back up kicker.

He’ll find a job before too long.

I was at the game last night. My biggest takeaway was how huge the Vancouver D are.

Every year is different. This year is started off with a nice cold wave to make a quick 6 inches of ice. A recent satellite pic looks like there is no open water which makes the ice less likely to shift. With more snow and high winds, the next 48 hrs. I would advise no fishing period. Try to stay off the lake.
It’s not a problem for me as I rarely go on lake until I can drive blue thunder.
We do have some open houses on shore this weekend. I’m looking forward to that first fish fry at JRS.
Sounds like a crack formed last night. Were not sure if it made it up this way but will know later. Heard of just a few fish caught which a few from a fisherman could mean 12, A few to me is 3, not 12, 2 is a couple not 8, Some is 3 to 5.
Jonny boy has been working his you know what off getting all the manual, hard work done as I’m transitioning away from all the hard work.
Not much else to say at this time as we batten down the hatches for the predicted high winds on a grand lake that owes us nothing

Honest report. Much appreciated.

That’s a great deal. There’s a new maker of the white bunny boots and they’re selling for $390.00. I’d buy yours as a second pair, but unfortunately I’m a size 10.

My last 3 Amazon orders have been late. I’m getting kind of tired of the big A. When you go to track your orders and the day they’re supposed to show up you see that they haven’t even been shipped yet is really getting disgusting.

Funny because most of my orders this week have been a day ahead of time. Kinda like how it use to be when ordering with Prime.

My orders were a day earlier than promised too. Surprised me.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s appreciated.

Starting my second ice season with the fuel keg. It’s been a great purchase.

4” on parts of Devils Lake.

Forehand, backhand, shelf. Dang that Nino…

That is interesting for sure, but correlation doesnt always mean causation. To my knowledge zebra mussels need something to attach too in order to survive so like rock, rubble, etc. I would tend to believe lakes that have an abundance of this type of bottom content would be higher in mercury levels than lakes without it. I could certainly be wrong however. Regardless that is an interesting read and will be even more interesting to find out if further research is done and if there is indeed a way to counteract it. Seems costly and doubtful. I thought there were lots of treatments for zebra mussels, but you really dont hear about it often. I realize its probably a losing battle, but there was one method that was introducing a bacteria or something similar that essentially sterilized the mussels. No idea how that would affect anything else, but mussels filter the water while fish do not.

Bingo!

Did Norm Green have anything to do with the move? He still sucks.

One of my favorite Ovi commercials.

I’d always fail the color blind tests when I had physicals. Finally had an eye doctor give me one and he said I had bad taste and that I wasn’t color blind. After the joke he said I had some color issues but it was more of a depth perception issue. The only time I know I see things a bit different is when it comes to jig colors. I’ll tell my buddy’s I caught fish on chartreuse and they’ll tell me that’s green (or vice versa). All I know for sure is what worked for me and they can call it what they want…

Just saw ANT was fined for an obscene gesture against the Kings. Anybody know what he did? Curious minds want to know.

I haven’t had to pay for my Navionics app in a long, long time.

same here. For sure been >5 years since I’ve paid for it. Not a chance I’d ever pay $50 for Navionics, let alone annually! I believe as long as you keep it backed up in your icloud (for iPhone users), you won’t ever need to repurchase the app (at least that’s how I think I’ve got around paying for it). I am not able to download any new lake maps but I already had everything I needed downloaded years ago, so its not an issue.

edit – just checked my purchase history and the last time I purchased navionics was in 2017 for $4.99.

Thanks for sharing this. It’s starting to make sense to me now. I just got a new phone so I’ll have to dig deeper to see if I can get it all back.

I haven’t had to pay for my Navionics app in a long, long time. I checked out a lake yesterday and I was shut out. I was prompted to pay $49.99 a year. Is that the going rate? If that’s the case I’ll stick with the free app OnX Fish for Minnesota, my old school handheld Lowrance H20 Finder, or my Livescope GPS to find structure/waypoints.
