I’ve used a cool garden hose to flush the squirming white rice. Like literally for 10-20 minutes. Fresh cold water from the hose. The affected hen seemed to melt in my arms its cool relief. Then sevin dust. That made her jump a bit again. I left that on for a good 10-15 minutes. Cold rinse. More...
I sure did.
He’s chickenless like I am.
Dog and cat stories not as good? Idk.
But all his stories seem good to me.
He definitely has a gift for hobbies, telling his stories and making people smile. I’m glad I checked in.
Hi all. I hope you’re all doing good. It’s snowing up here and sticking. Roads were white driving this am. They were not wet or blowing across the highway. It looks like winter will stick now.
Son got an 11 point buck yesterday Am. One brow tine broken off. He’s becoming a hunter like his...
Hi everybody. Watched some old videos last night of my flock grazing on the grass. Gosh they were beautiful. Miss them.
Hope all are well on here. A few new faces.
Ralphie please take care!
Jerry glad you’ve been up to the cabin and are still trucking along. Say hello to Janet for me...
DS drove back to Wahpeton on Sunday and he said he saw thousands of geese in a field near Pelican Rapids. So the migration on water fowl is happening for sure.
We have a winter wonderland out there right now.
Our Winter Texans drive back in today. The in laws. Lol. Figures... what a welcome...
Oh good. On your way up to the cabin? There’s still a lot of winter out there....
But it’s going away. We had 60 + inches and counting of snowfall this winter so the dried up lakes and rivers will be looking better this spring one would think.
We were down to about 18 inches in the yard and the high sides of clay mud ruts drying out on the roads. now 6-7 inches of a white fungus amongus for today. It is sticking better than I thought it would too. If I had had chickens they would be groaning.
Hello everybody. I hope all are...
Mission complete tonight. Got my daughter a Leech Lake sow pig of a fish.
the bite has been on all week.
Momma got a couple too. Sure is something to see big fish. The lake has a rare small keeper any more. But this was fun. just a pleasure to be out. Catching and releasing. A little chilly on...
Yes. Getting to be time to tuck in things that are outside. Hoses. Deck furniture.,,, although it’s been pretty nice out. Gray day today though.
I have been taking in some local orders of soap. So that’s racking up on me.
made my one apple pie for MIL’s birthday so harvested apples are done ✅. I...
I just filled the shop vac with Asian beetles at work. They were keeping warm next to the fluorescent lights and corners of our office. One of those weirdly satisfying jobs.
Last Saturday’s wedding took us to Red Wing. (Big Grain Elevator there!) I had read poor reviews on the Super 8 that we...
You super busy if you’re running an elevator right now.
Asian beetles hit Chippewa national forest two weeks ago. That’s when us in the Northwoods know that the soybeans are getting harvested! :lol:

I was down for about 18 hours after the second shot.
Ralphie sounds like your home running saint Judy ragged. Tending your hobbies.
I have been peeling a cat out of trees with ladders teetering and telescoping poles with push broom head wrapped in towel and not one ounce of sense.
