    WTF was MNDOT doing yesterday. I went duck hunting in the Alex area yesterday and hit any icy spot west of St. Cloud on 94 for about 20 miles. Where the salt truck had been it was wet/not slippery pavement.
    On the way home yesterday afternoon I thought that’s how it would be wet but not slippery. Wrongo Amigo. 20-40 mph from St Clould to Minnetonka. Never saw a MNDOT truck. Saw several cars in the ditch. A semi on west bound 94 in the median pointing east. shock A semi trying to stop to avoid a car doing circles in front of him went to the shoulder but the trailer went in the ditch. Pulling it diagonally until he stopped. I thought it was going to roll.
    If MNDOT would have stayed ahead of it and treated all day it would have been way better. Perfect temps for the salt to work. They have some splainin’ to do.

    Here’s my two cents. In recent years, salting a road has been declared environmentally unfriendly. While I can agree that we shouldn’t unnecessarily cover our roads in salt, the pendulum has swung so far that MnDOT won’t put anything down until it’s too late to be beneficial. This is not the first snow/ice event where they totally missed the mark.

    I switched jobs 7 years ago. Prior to that time, I could expect good travel conditions when I left the house at 6 AM. I don’t knoW exactly when it changed, but I no longer expect the same results.

    Christ I had an Atari when I was a kid…pacman, frogger, and the guy that jumped over crocks and swung on vines like tarzan. Sucks getting old.

    I upgraded from my Atari to Colecovision!

    My parents are in their 80s and winter in Florida. I finally discovered that a package from Omaha Steaks is actually appreciated.

    Texas, steals the North Stars and now Northland Tackle. (they are stuck with the cowboys too)

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

    You mean Norm Greed?

    Nope. No longer exclusively remote. I miss Jonny!

    I still am a customer but not sure it would be the best fit for a family. It is still remote, not set up for TVs entertainment etc. They are wired if you bring / rent a generator. Long way from cell service too.

    For playing a team who’s dead last in goals against and differential, that was a pretty boring game. Oh well boring wins count too, quiet shutout for Gus.

    Weren’t some great hockey minds of IDO ripping on Ovi for empty net goals recently?? whistling

    This great IDO mind defended Ovi!

    Does anyone know how this relates to pre-covid levels? Many outdoor sports companies expanded during that time. Just wondering if this is kind of back to normal or more of a poor economy thing.

    Only time I kept a limit was on Mille Lacs. One fish, 21 to 23.

    My experience is that dock pulling is related to ice potential and the deer rifle season. All of the docks near me are still in the water. I expect them to get pulled next week after deer season.

    My prediction is that we will have more of a normal ice season this year. That means on the ice in mid December for my area.

    I prefer going with portables so lack of ice castles doesn’t bother me.

    Here’s one that I think is flying under the radar. The Wild are tied for fewest penalty minutes against in the league. 41 minutes given so far. That’s making it really tough on teams that heavily lean on power plays. The wild just aren’t giving them anything to work with. IMO that’s been a major factor. The Wild are making teams have to beat them five on five and as long as the goal scoring on our end holds up that’s a really difficult proposition.

    That goon Faber leads the team in majors.

    We have had several bouts of pea size hail with barely any rain. It was enough to disrupt the satellite feed of the game on FSN/Ballys/FDSN.

    I don’t think there is a need for an asterisk if Ovi makes it. He has played at a high level for so long. A couple of empty netters aren’t going to be the reason for his achievement.

    2nd longest streak in history to start a season not trailing in the game.
    Kind of weird not wild.

    I see what you did there!

    The real problem here is that these are being voted on as amendments. We elect representatives to make the hard decisions. If we don’t like what they do, then we find new representatives to do the job. Putting it on the ballot means (to me at least) that they are not doing their jobs.

    The fact that they are throwing in all of these conditions this time makes it worse.

    One part of this bill I don’t understand is why does this bill have to form a new community that receive $25 million a year?

    They need new sources of revenue to steal from the taxpayers?

    Well, I think it was vestibular after all… She ended up back to perfectly normal within about 12 hours.

    I read that they will often pee themselves when they have it, and no sooner than I read that I went and checked on her and, sure enough, she had fully emptied her bladder on my bed… It was pretty scary when she wouldn’t eat a treat or respond when I asked if any of her favorite people “were here.”

    Very glad it’s over with and not something more serious. Thanks for the replies and support, everyone!

    So glad to hear the news. Well, except for the empty bladder on the bed.

    Just think how negative this thread would be if the Wild didn’t have points in all 4 games?

    Foligno and Hartman are middle 6 forwards that are paid exactly like middle 6 forwards. Spurgeon is hurt and could end up on LTIR – if he played for VGK then pitchfork nation would be crying cap circumvention!!

    I watched an episode of the Faceoff series on Prime last night. Kind of like the Hard Knocks series for the NFL. Pretty good show. They featured Vegas in one of the episodes. Jackie Redmond described Vegas front office as the leagues honey badgers they don’t give a poop about feels they get whomever they feel they need to get in whatever way possible and trade whomever they have to in the process to win and that’s all they care about.

    But yet I doubt there is a player in the league who has them on their no go list.

    I have been meaning to start watching that series but haven’t. Glad to see a positive review.
