    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Wish you were closer, I would beg to get on his schedule.

    Lower heat until first one splits will reduce the loss of flavor and juice. For the char, just roll them accross the grates every 5 minutes or so.

    I prefer them on the pellet grill, smoke on low for ~ 1/2 to 1 hour, then turn up to ~ 300 and check every few minutes until first one splits.

    Best I’ve had is from Lynn’s custom meats in Hayward.

    Mepps or similar bucktails – silver blade with white or black bucktail.

    Condition is everything – yours are in pretty bad condition. The lazy ike is in better shape, but very common.

    NFLCC and Ebay can give you an idea of what they are worth, my perspective is a few bucks each if that.

    Clean, repaint and enjoy using them for fishing – you’ll get more out of using them than what they are worth, money wise.

    Drive the area lake’s shorelines – you will find out where the locals gather.

    Bet your water table has dropped and you are running out causing the pump to overheat and trip.

    I like limes with Corona or Tequila.

    Seriously – adopted 2 Bengal cats that had horrible digestive issues and were never socialized as they were caged “kitty mill” cats. The only info we got from the adopting agency was they were 2 years old and were in rough shape physically due to their horrible diet and living conditions. The younger one had the runs so bad she hit the litter box every 20 minutes or so until her system was emptied. We took a chance on adopting both as they needed each other – thinking they might be momma and kitten.

    One year later – they are both healthy (raw diet) and have improved in their trusting humans. They even ask for pets! They still do not understand what they are capable of physically, but are learning how to jump up and climb.

    Adopting them saved their lives. Even though we spend a bit more on the raw food, it is worth every penny.
