Go Ponies!!!!

So far dying your hair blonde has lead to defeat – Andover and Lakeville South. Gotta keep the Flow natural.

Stillwater tops the Spuds 5 to 3 on Saturday.

The day the DNR starts denying the lake associations permits to dump chemicals into our lakes is the day I’ll start taking their AIS initiatives seriously.

I’m more concerned with the chemicals getting sprayed and seeing the water turn brown and dead fish floating shortly thereafter than I am some invasive specie that *so far, cannot be stopped.

If it were an adversary, say China or Iran for the sake of argument; they wouldn’t be flying around with indicator/marker lights on. They’d be a little more covert. My bet is that it’s our fine government doing some testing or exercise.

The Berkley Swamp Lord became my “go to” frog this past summer. It pushed aside Bobby’s Perfect, Pad Crasher, and Bronzeye.

Better hooks, super soft, walks well, and great colors.

The graphics on that motor (straight grey to blue line) under “four stroke” point to a 2012MY or newer. A serial number lookup even when possible will confirm.

The new Fenwick World Class and Elite rods are great. The 6-9, 7-2, and 7-6 ML have all performed well this year. Action and power are spot on.

Personal preference for length, but the 6-9 is my favorite jigging rod.

They discontinued the (fenwick) HMG didn’t they? That was one of my favorite “moderately” priced rods at around $100-$110. Sadly I just broke my beloved ML a couple months ago. Also have a cheaper HMX, but they are not nearly the quality as the HMG.

Curious how people are liking the new line(s) of decent/high end Fenwick rods.

The HMG is still there. Both the Eagle and HMG were upgraded and the Eagle now has a lifetime warranty.

I don’t feel as if the new 6-9 ML is overpowered by a 20 inch fish by any means.

One of the best rods in the $100 range are the new Fenwick Eagles. The new design has a lifetime warranty and the performance is very much improved over previous generations.

Some good reels mentioned above, it’s also worth looking at the generation 5 Abu Garcia Revo reels. They’re tough, durable, and perform extremely well.

KAT needs to stop shooting the ball.

Have they stopped making Nanofil? Can’t find any.

Stay tuned to ICAST… you might see a new line from Berkley.

Coincidence? Interesting.

KOC needs to have his play calling privileges revoked. He needs to be sent to his room for a timeout.

yes. watched it.WOW. one thing puzzled me, as a retired mpls FF. I know how the system works or is supposed to work

There was an off duty firefighter there who testified for the prosecution.

Hansen said she identified herself as an EMT when she got to the scene, and told Officer Thao who she was.

“He responded, ‘if you really are a City of Minneapolis firefighter then you would know better not to get involved,’” Hansen told the court.

And did you see how she was acting? I’d doubt and question the legitimacy of her claim and furthermore, even if her claim to be MFD was accurate (which it proved later to be), I wouldn’t let her near my patient/prisoner for a second. She was unstable, confrontational, unprofessional, and hostile.

Very smooth and balanced. Tough as nails with a good drag system. The OD Green is last years color scheme.

The Vision 110 was king until the Berkley Stunna came out a few years ago. The Stunna has now taken up the majority of my jerkbait box real estate.

Abu Garcia Ambassadeur S is a good option at $99.

303 is great stuff.

I’ve got a Frigidaire countertop ice maker and it’s great. Kicks out ice within 5 minutes.

I’ve had one for three years. It definitely helps and reduces the thud and jarring. I’d recommend one.

Don Salon

Toyota 4Runner all the way. Much better reliability and resale value. In my opinion, they have more curb appeal than the VW. Every person I’ve known that had a VW experienced electrical issues.

And then pimp the crowd. Good stuff.

Well Sanchez pitched a heck of a game today. Really earned that 6th spot in the rotation.

Yes, or Martin or Lewis.

They’re terrible too.

Twins tendered a contract to Pagan. What are Falvey and Levine thinking?

I’d recommend the Streamlight Strion. Fantastic light – compact, TOUGH, and throws a ton of light. Put mine through daily use as a street cop for over a decade. It never failed. Before the Strion it was the SL-20. Amazing how much lighting has improved over the years.

As tempting as a cheap light off Amazon is, they’re great until they’re not. When you need a flashlight, you NEED it to be reliable.

B and I went thursday, she had the pronto, walked around, and saw everything, be damned if I’ll pay 8 to 10 bucks for a Weiner on a stick. Took her to the Olive Garden and had a great meal, nice day!

Olive Garden and “great meal” in the same sentence is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.
