Playoff game at 3 o’clock on a gorgeous spring Saturday. Wtf nhl now I’m the one complaining about game timesdon’t they know its opening day for most youth baseball leagues! Looks like I blow through my mobile data plan this afternoon…
I got lucky today, oldest daughter had three games back to back to back. Done for the day.
That’s is sweet and sounds like an awesome trip!
Keep this series at 5 on 5 as much as possible.
No doubt about that!
Even after last night I still like the wolves chances. They shot like crap and the lakers, other then Luka, do not impress me one bit. Wolves should win this series.

Do not mess around use Composite, there will be holes drilled into your epoxy covered wood then water will just rot the wood again.I might go your advise.. Just talked to a guy up in Clearwater that uses HDPE sheets and has a CNC that can cut it to fit for me. I am pulling the old transom sheet tonight. Hoping to get it in one piece. Then can run up there and he can cut it while I am there with them. Cost a bit more but you are right.. Will be the last time I will ever have to do it! Not a fun job.
Do you have contact info for that guy? I’ve been looking at options for doing my crestliner.
A few more pics of the area and trip

I was there out there March 9-10 fishing with my brother who lives in Seattle area but he used to live in the tri-city area. The Tri-city area is Kenniwick, Pasco and Richland and a good section of the river to fish. We hired a guide both nights and planned it around a full moon. More specifically 3-4 days before a full moon. The guide service starts doing night trips in February and the days he will not miss is those 3-4 days before and 3-4 days after. We would start fishing around 5 and go until 1-2 in the morning. As with any river, it’s all about timing and water conditions. The water temps for the time we were there were quite a bit warmer than normal. In the low to mid 40’s when normally it’s in the mid to high 30’s. Also, the flow was down spreading the fish out. On March 9, first night, it was calling for high winds so guide decided to fish a section of river bordering Oregon and landed in the town of Umatilla. Water was quite a bit dirtier here then by the tri cities area and fishing not nearly as good as we would have night two. Managed only a few fish and nothing to brag about. Wind ended up being a non issue as it was fairly calm, in hindsight, wished we would have fished towards the tri-city areas. Second night was quite a bit better, water clearer in that area and we put a descent amount of fish in the boat. We didn’t get any of the big girls that area is know for but I did get a 29”, which ended up being the biggest for us. I’m pretty sure this was a big male and majority, if not all, were all males. My brothers biggest out of the Columbia is 13lbs, which he caught when he lived in that area. He also caught some dandy kings when that run is on. All we did both nights was troll. Smithwick rogues are popular out there. That’s usually what the guide does as he doesn’t know skill level of his clients. Afterwords he said he would have done some jigging, casting etc since we were experienced. The wind was quiet a bit stronger second night actually and he was thankful we could manage our own lines as boat control was difficult on its own. We trolled island breaks, points, and big flat breaks generally staying in the 15-20’ range.
State of WA has some strange and complicated fishing regs. Some parts of the river you are allowed two lines, some aren’t. If you are in a two line area you need a two line endorsement to fish the second line. Tri city section was two line area.
There is no slot or limit on walleyes but the guides are pretty protective of them. We kept smaller males that my brother brought home but all the big ones would be going back. It’s a big river with lots of fishy areas so it would be nice to spend some more time out there. There is some nice protective landings that your stuff will be safe in. Other areas to avoid is my understanding. Killing time during the day we would drive around and check out different landings, pretty much all of them had trucks with license plates from North and South Dakota.
Let me know if you have any questions and will try to answer them.

Keep it up B-man! Good day for the boys!
If the Twins hang on to win they will be tied for first 
Congrates!
A buddy Big Werm and I went to school with coaches at Sartell. Sounds like they have a good program and consistently finishing well. His son is a good shooter as well. As it’s been said on IDO before, wish these activities were around when I was in school!
Also, my wife’s mom and two of her aunts have dies from lung cancer. All had smoked in the life. Wife’s step dad was just diagnosed with lung cancer. He is a smoker. We lived with mother in law as she was going through it and not something I would want to go through.
Its super gross. Its never prosecuted so that is why. I always feel bad though at the same time. I couldnt imagine what its like to be a slave to a substance like that.
My father in law got pulled over because he flicked a cig out the window of his vehicle. Got a dui because of that.
Kind of funny, our neighbor has domesticated turkeys. They have a descent size yard and butts up to a nice stand of oaks that the wild turkeys hang out in. The wild turkeys and domesticated often hang out together in the yard. Just this morning, one of the wild and domesticated were strutting in the yard. I should see if I could borrow a domesticated as a decoy!
I use similar to what Matt uses except they are called Rustic River. Made in St. Joe MN by a family with a couple brothers Big Werm and I went to school with. I’ve been a fan and as mentioned by Matt, don’t over load them. They take up little space but can fit quite a few lures in them. They different sizes to fit your needs.

The HOF is a museum for the history of the sport and Rose should be part of that history with his story. He’s a hall of fame player, no question. Just like the roid era, Bonds, McGwire, ARod, etc put them in but tell their stories. Can’t just ignore an era of a sport.This is another hypocritical part of MLB. Rose has a section in the hall where it celebrates his hits record but he’s can’t be voted in.
I did not know that but yes very hypocritical!

I work with the brother of the Hibbing kid that laid the F bomb on occasion when up on the range. What makes it even funnier is they are a very religious family and highly unexpected coming out of one of their mouths! Especially on tv.
He’s in a better place, RIP. You did a great thing Randy Taking care of him. Now after things settle down, get out and enjoy the woods and water, much deserved.
Now that’s funny!
I didn’t realize Hibbing knocked off Hermantown! I like that, buddy has some grand kids in the program.
Sounds like we are going to lose it again next week.
This weekend is dubbed “bye bye carbides” because there’s no way I will miss the 3rd and potentially last weekend to ride around our place.
Kids and I put an about 80 miles yesterday and today, pleasantly surprised by how good the trail conditions were in the Crosby area. Could be it though looking at the forecast.
Nice B man, thanks for posting. Will have to try that process. I have the work sharp, wonder if that would sharpen auger blades? It can be used for all types of tools.
And as Grubson also said, pop your hood occasionally and check the oil.
Good practice I try to do is every time I’m fueling up is check the oil and other fluids.
I use the pony tail bands that the three ladies in the house hold leave around. this idea covers the hook better though.
The 3k mile oil change is far from dead for me and will keep doing so. Cheapest preventative maintenance you can do on a vehicle. 3k on the 2011 burb (225k miles) and 5k 2011 sonata (374k). Full synthetic oreilly brand for both.
And if there is lube already on it, clean that off good and put new stuff on
I wouldn’t worry about that, most tip ups come lubed up already.
It wouldn’t hurt to take them a part and lube them up if that is happening. What do they feel like when you spin them by hand? Should spin smooth. For a lube, I’ve been using Lucas. Been happy with it so far.
