The best place is Phochef.

They’re so old they fart dust.

Last 2 years – Manager of Maintenance Planning and Reliability in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. I oversee the scheduling of preventive and reactive maintenance of highly complex manufacturing equipment and systems. Also responsible for evaluating equipment reliability to improve OEE.

Best job ever!

Overall – been in chemical manufacturing since ’86 holding a variety of positions from QC Lab tech to managing several sterile manufacturing processes.

backstory on Rufus –
circa 1968
first dog that we ever had as a family
probably mutt – was uniformly “yellow” with short length hair
loveable with kids
ferocious hunter

sadly he was poisoned by a neighbor due to his hatred of dogs

if i can dig up a pic, I’ll post

The Latin word for pheasant is phasianus. The scientific name for the common pheasant is Phasianus colchicus, where colchicus is also Latin for “of Colchis”.

Rufus

Chile peppers – fresh, dried, hot sauce etc.

It would be interesting to document/quantify. I’m guessing my yearly intake:

10+ pounds of fresh
a few gallons of hot sauce
a few quarts of dried

Got the Poison Ivy shots as I had extreme reactions to it as a kid. Had immunity for years and still do not react like I did before the shots.

Flu shot? Once or twice.

since Covid:
Anything the government pushes on me I run from.

Avoid State farm and Progressive.

Had both for years with great driving record. One moving violation (speeding) in 35+ years.

State Farm was 40% higher than Progressive so I switched. SF came back with “we can save you $$” BS – I replied why did it take me leaving to get a discount?

Progressive was reasonable for first year then started jacking the rate back up to where SF was. When I inquired why – “due to your credit score”. My credit score was in the high 700’s.

Dropped Progressive for the lizard team. Very happy with their rates.

Norm Green still sucks.

I would vote the radio out. Better to have conversation than listen to crap – unless there’s a sporting event you both like.
My taste in music and entertainment was way off what my Dad liked. He tortured us kids with the evil neighbor WCCO. Boone and Erickson forced laughter and “going home with Cannon” idiocy ruined the time for me. There was no options we both liked.

I fished Mountain lake in the late 70’s. Worth the trip.

Wotta Frog.

For me it’s been Rush Lake near Rush City. Heard many stories of people catching keeper fish, but other than a very few stunted sunfish and crappies – nothing.

I’m guessing December 11.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Follow the $$ – who is behind the ads for voting in favor of the initiative?

I have an ARE for my 2019 Chev 1500 silverado long bed. Side access windows both sides. Paid ~2300 in 2019. Some cosmetic issues with windows, other than that works great.

It’s the “look at me” generation fueled by social media. They’re conditioned to seek attention, no matter what.

Being ignored is more hurtful than negative reaction.

Not a fan of Reynolds and since Marvel went woke, not a fan of them either.

Forgot a few:

Tony Jaro’s – home of the greenie
Georges in Fridley
Blue Moon Saloon in Milaca

Red Eye
Johnson Minnow
Hula popper

Big mice? Rat poop is more uniform, like brown tic-tacs.

My GP doc had the x-ray performed (indicating no damage!) and made me go the PT and ibuprofen route to “strengthen the muscles”. At that time I was working a job that had a lot of manual labor, more use = more pain. Tried the PT and it only got worse. Decided to see an orthopedic surgeon, who ordered the MRI (after reviewing the x-rays) as in his words “x-rays are not effective at depicting the damage”.
You need to push, managed medicine tries to go the cheap route and hope you go away. They must incentivise the docs as my current GP acts the same way,ignore the root cause. Specialists are more interested in identifying root cause and resolving the issue.

Get an MRI, x-rays didn’t show the damage to my rotator cuff, which was shredded.

Had rotator cuff issues right (dominant) shoulder for over 20 years, finally had the surgery ~10 years ago. Post surgery PT was painful, but I did all of my home excercises and worked hard at my PT appointments. Within 4 months I had complete motion and little to no pain. Don’t skimp on your PT.

Yeah, enough with the forgive and forget stuff.
Payback is what he deserves.
He knowingly damaged your property without permission.
Those individuals will not learn until it hurts.

Take his vehicle and beat the pi$$ out of it for the same amount of time. He will not learn until he experiences payback.
Family is the worst, no sense in trying to keep the peace.
I know from experience. I do not have any contact with my 3 brothers for various reasons.

In and around Isanti County – Spectacle, Stanchfield and Green Lakes along with the Rum River backwaters. Just about every fishable lake has a population.

I started out using my Toro self propelled this spring with old 10% cow pi$$ gas from last summer and old gas left in the mower.
The only issue I have is it takes one or 2 more pulls to get started, once running no issues.
