You can also go this route.
last time I used him it was $75 in – $75 out.Olds dock and lift.
(218) 792-5311
That’s actually who we used last fall to take the dock out and they’re about $100 now, which isn’t bad at all. 
Sharon……..do those dock section come out, like removable?? if so it may be easier to but the dock out and in!!!!
i put our cabin dock in last week to…..i may have driven close to your place saturday morning… i went through Emily…..OUTING about 8;30 ish!!!!
i disnt see EPG’s truck and the channel either??
The dock we have now is one long piece and it rolls in pretty nicely, but we need to hire it to be taken out. We’re looking at one of those aluminum sectional dock systems to see if that might work better for us.
Is that thing fire proof in case a certain neighbor stops by with fireworks???
Luckily John is a retired firefighter so he’s experienced at handling incendiary situations if they should arise!
Congrats, its a great feeling when you get it in… as an owner of countless docks over the years, I would highly suggest getting an aluminum sectional dock on wheels that adjust the height with a power drill, it makes lake life so much more enjoyable…
We are looking at that style from FLOE Docks! It looks like a simple system and sturdy too!
did the boys go swimming?
Nah they’re not water dogs and they tend to avoid going in to water. I’ve never actually seen either of them swim.
Seeing my girl fishing off the dock, brings back good memories
Lots of good memories!

Crappies bitin?
Not yet! But it’s early season yet and I’ve got a lot of lake to cover as soon as we bring the boat up!
I really thought when you put your own dock in, at your first lake property, for the very first time, there’s supposed to be some kind of celebratory tradition….. Like, jumping off the end, cannonball, in a polar plunge type style!
I’m sure it’s like a mandatory thing in MN. Super sure.
That water was way too cold for a cannonball! John was in the water in neoprene waders and could feel how chilly it was, so my christening was fishing off of it the day we put it in! 
Once it warms up MAYBE I’ll do a cannonball! 
Dock is in at 494 access!

With lots of troubleshooting and tinkering, and with tech support from Sheldon (@Iowaboy1), John and my Dad (@Steve Root) got the boat motor started this weekend! It was touch and go there for a bit until it finally roared to smokey life!

Fantastic! Thanks Dave for fixing this!
Not that we know of, just the recent YouTube channel scare and now the glitch today just has some of us worried.
Agreed Randy! Lots of great memories on this site and met some great people too. The support alone from when Billy passed away is still something I treasure deeply.
Oooh that’s a little odd to see. Hopefully just a momentary glitch!
You guys are great! Thank you!
We are pretty damn lucky to have found one another and we are so excited for our first summer at the cabin! I need to remember to stock up on sunscreen!
We got the cabin open for the season and it feels great to have running water again! Absolutely gorgeous weather and lots of birds singing on our walk with the boys. Can’t wait to start sorting through fishing stuff to bring up soon!

I agree there’s stuff missing. And I also noticed this message where the videos used to be.

Whelp this weekend John and I got my old boat out of storage and started giving the old gal a clean up! We’ll be firing up the motor once we get some new spark plugs. Tires and hubs are good, lights work, and she’s been vacuumed and cleaned. We ran to Fleet Farm today for a new plug, new anchor rope, and some new boat fenders. I absolutely can’t wait to bring her up to our cabin for her first voyage since 2019!

Bummer that the YouTube channel is gone! Don’t forget I did start a Facebook Group for IDO Members just in case the forum isn’t available some day:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/idomembersgroup
What song did they repeat all day
“Somebody to Shove” but Soul Asylum
So what is KQRS moving to?
There isn’t much in the way of speculation so who knows. 
Let’s just hope it’s something good!

By keyboard I mean on a phone or tablet where there is an option for emojis right from the keyboard. Those are the ones that don’t work on IDO. A traditional physical keyboard for use with a computer does technically have emojis too by way of using Alt codes but those don’t work here either.
The only option is the “smilies” button on the IDO screen just above the reply box. See the attached screenshot.

Emojis from a keyboard don’t work on IDO and haven’t in a couple years. I miss them as the smilies here are limited. The “smilies” from the button on the right of where you type your post/reply still work though. Those aren’t “emojis” they are “smilies” and they’re different than the ones from your keyboard.
I make them from scratch since we don’t eat them too often and the box stuff expires. The recipe I use is pretty simple and we always have the ingredients on hand so it’s quite handy!
Absolutely agree, Randy! Mother Nature has the best sound track.
Your assuming anyone hear knows what a noun or verb is. (yes, I intentionally used the wrong your, hear, etc LOL)
Nice!
A-Sea D-Sea
For those about to fish we salute you!
Love it!!
Funny this comes up so close to National Grammar Day! Yes, that’s a thing and I love that there’s a day dedicated to reminding people of the importance of good grammar. All too often I see run on sentences, apostrophes used to make words plural, improper word use (to, too, two, etc.), and the occasional paragraph which contains no punctuation whatsoever… Why is grammar so important? Because knowledge is pointless if we cannot properly communicate it to others!
