    The real egg riddle is why in one sitting can I eat 2-3 fried eggs, but 4-6 if they are scrambled eggs,

    For me it’s the opposite. I can eat more fried eggs than the same amount scrambled. Must be the air in the scrambled eggs. When I was in my 20s after a night of drinking, I had a dozen eggs for breakfast plus bacon and toast of course.

    This will be my 6th season with LiveScope but didn’t use it much in the boat the first season since I didn’t have a pole for the boat. It has actually made fishing/catching more fun for me. I’m 65 now and have always liked gadgets. I like catching fish and this gadget increases the chances for me to catch a fish because it helps you find fish quicker, especially ice fishing for panfish. I’ve also learned a lot about how fish react to presentations. I always have it in the boat but don’t always use it. For walleyes on the ice, if I use it it’s for entertainment for watching the fish come in and bite or not bite or telling someone else in the house that a fish is coming your way.
    I probably keep fewer than 30 walleyes, 15 crappies and 15 bluegill a year so I’m not a threat to any fishery. Haven’t kept a bass in years and the same for northern, sorry Glenn57. Still love to catch them, though.
    I don’t know how to handle the issue of targeting muskies post spawn when they are vulnerable to being caught and handled. Can’t close down a lake for fishing them like you can a river or bay for walleye or maybe you can. I would think this is only being done on a handful of lakes.

    I’m sure the Twins will be handing out hand warmers also to add to the $425 million debt.
    I don’t understand how the Twins can be in debt. Their reported revenues are usually more than double the payroll. Are they taking money from the Twins to shore up other businesses?

    Does anybody think the Pohlads understand how ugly this season could get?

    Jim’s more focused on how he can still run this shyt-show after it’s sold. Don’t the rest of the family want to get out of baseball sooner than later or are they all hell bent on getting $1.7 billion?

    I made an ice fishing computer game in high school in 1976. Used a teletype and called in to a main frame computer in Mpls. What a blast. yay We’ve come a long way since then.

    They want to run a study on muskie hooking mortality in the summer … DNR is supportive, but would need funding …

    I heard the same interview. The guy said MNFish would fund the Study.

    Paddack gave up a three run homer in the first and second innings and a two run homer in the third. rotflol
    Twins are hitless after four innings.
    Rocco pulled Buxton and Corea. Buxton looked like he might’ve hurt himself as he came down from jumping to try to catch one of the homers. Stay tuned.
    I feel for the announcers.

    Late 70s to early 80s used to go down and fish pool 4 on spring break from college. We’d bring a small outboard and rent a 14 foot rowboat from Everts. That same week we’d icefish Tonka for pannies.

    Boldy needs to stop doing those cutsie break out passes in his own D-zone. It’ll cost him sometime.

    Maxwell Bay, open. Three trailers at the access with 2 being tandems, probably bass fishermen lol

    North Arm Bay, open. Two trailers at the access. Barge heading across to most likely put boat lifts in.
    Crystal Bay, open except for some ice in front of the Lafayette Club.
    Lafayette Bay mostly ice covered.

    3 or 4 dunks under the water and she was clean as a whistle !!!

    My dad bought be a cheap spin cast/ rod combo from a Holiday gas station. (I used to buy shotgun shells there when I was older). After a few years the first thing I did when I got to the lake was dunk it in the water so it would work smoothly.

    I had a Zebco 33 at one time and fished a lot with a buddy on Tonka. He had an Abu Garcia that had a higher gear ration. He could get 50% more casts because of it. He would outfish me 5 to 1 but I’d usually get the biggest bass on a little old Lazy Ike. He would get so pissed off. yay

    Cats have been known to carry the Toxoplasmosis parasite which can cause all sorts of terrible conditions in humans. It’s transferred and spread in their crap.

    That’s why pregnant women shouldn’t clean a litter box if the cat is an inside/outside cat. Toxoplasmosis can be passed on to the fetus.

    I think I saw it at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum in Myrtle Beach. A life size reproduction of George Foreman’s fist. Frickin’ huge. Volume-wise probably 50-100% bigger than a normal man’s fist.

    Update from today.
    Gray’s Bay all open, access too.
    Wayzata mostly covered.
    Smith’s Bay covered and had a strip of open water from Brackett’s Point to the Marina.
    Maxwell Bay 40% open, access open. Ice was cracking/pinging.
    North Arm, the southern and middle sections were ~30% open with the far north end open. Access open.
    Crystal Bay was covered and had a strip of open water from Bohn’s Point to the south shore.
    Bay to the west of Fletcher’s was open from county road 19 except for some ice by Fletcher’s.
    Excelsior Bay, no change since Wednesday.
    All channels I saw were open. Many had ice on either side. Some backwaters opening up.
    Most ice is dark and ready to go. It’ll take a big hit tomorrow with the strong wind and will be open some time this week.

    My brother and I bought a system together from Schaak Electronics in the late 70s. If we turned up the bass and the volume for the beginning of “Hotel California” out bedroom windows would vibrate. woot

    Back in the late 80s at Birchdale, 4 of us slid a 17 foot aluminum Tracker side console with a 75 hp motor onto the ice and slid it across. My hands got really cold putting the transducer back on. Getting it back out was a little more work. Wouldn’t have been able to do it without a roller trailer!!

    Lived in MN my whole life, 65+ and this has been one of the weirdest winters I remember. Without snow from this storm, it’s 5-6 times we’ve had snow and it’s melted completely. That should be great for my dormant seeded grass seed. Plus mild temps with a couple good cold stretches that made thicker ice than we’ve had in several years. Last year I started open water fishing Minnetonka on March 6th!! Going to be a while yet.

    The temps this week look good for ice fishing on LOW. I’m tempted to go back up.

    So Carl bought the Twins for $44 million. Twin’s asking price is $1.7 billion, Forbes values them at $1.46 billion.
    At Forbes price, that’s a 3218% increase. At Twin’s price, it’s 3764% increase.
    I guess for a banking family, every penny counts. rotflol
