Minnesota!

When I was at the state fair the DNR lady volunteer said that eagles rarely go after chickens, they go more for already dead animals or fish as they are lazy. do you think this is true? has anyone seen an eagle actually go after a chicken and kill it? Hawks I know definitely go after chickens. she said owls will too, she said they would even in broad daylight if they have baby owls to feed.
I have heard the same thing about them. They are more likely to scavenge than to kill their own prey. However, I am pretty certain one took out a Buckeye cockerel on me once. It was okay though, I bought him from a breeder in Kentucky and he was an ugly piece of doo-doo.
A Great Horned Owl has been my worst predator since I have had the birds, but it hasn't gotten any yet this year. I hope it stays that way.
 
I am pretty sure most of you haven't heard of any of these bands. But this is the lineup.

That is a quite a mix of genres! Merle Haggard and Iggy Pop? A lot of death metal, punk, and just off the wall kind of stuff there. What is this gathering for? It is a charity thing, or just a festival? I know Lalapalooza was a couple of weeks or so ago, my husband was in Chicago during that.
Have fun. Don't do anything too crazy and get arrested ;)
 
Ralphie, have you tried washing your keyboard in a dishwasher? I am serious, cuz dude, you are typing some crazy stuff there! LMBO!!!
Here is what you do, put it in the dishwasher and run it on hot water only. Let it dry completely, then it should be fine. We have actually done this after the kids continued to eat at the computer when we told them not too. If it is a laptop, don't do it. ;) But if it is just a keyboard, it may get the soup stains out and let you type/spell like an edumacated redneck.
 
@duluthralphie was it marv's minnows? or the tales and trails?


I lived in Zimmerman approx. 4 or 5 years... well, between zimmerman and princeton, then moved to Nowthen. Didn't want my kid going to Zimmerman or Princeton schools (No offense)

Where did you live between Zimmerman and Princeton? Zimmerman is part of the Elk River school district, and Princeton School district line comes down south of Cantlin Lake by almost 2 miles to just north of Lake Fremont, If you now where Nan Conifers use to be or Nelsons Tree farm have those green houses that is the line. 2 miles north of the city limits and you are in Princeton district. So maybe it was Princeton you didn't;t want your kids going to?

It is a laptop.

I bought a blue tooth keyboard for it, that is better than the pea soup one on the laptop, BUT it is too small and Bluetooth seems to skip and add letters and figures now and then. I don't catch them all, It kind of sucks typing on this. I may need to get a bigger one, OR a new laptop, if I can figure out how to blame my wife for ruining the last one.

I've only heard of these:

Marv's was our favorite one till he quit selling bait. My husband did have a gun or 2 shipped there for pick up as well though.

Hi guys! Yesterday our daughter gave birth to our 3rd grand son! Oliver Benjamin made a surprise entrance 6 wks early so he is in C-NICU for a few days, then will be hanging out in the NICU while he gains some weight, which, if he's like his brothers, won't take too long. I've had his brothers yesterday & today. Leeland, who was diagnosed mild autism, really couldn't handle all the changes this last week, had so many melt downs today. I drove 20 miles with 2 screaming/crying boys after leaving the hospital. Poor guys. I didn't want to tell my daughter that the Force is with him, still too hormonal :)

On a chicken note: Of the chicks that my Welsummer hatched, I have 2 roos. The real handsome one (Welsummer x EE) is trying to crow, really it's more of a croak, but he's adorable. @MinnesotaNice I still have all the pullets (1 is a roo) from the hatchery and yes they did refund me some $, but now it means coop additions. I suggested we getting rid of some, but DH thinks we should keep 'm all. I have to figure what boys are going to stay. I figure I can keep 4 boys (ea coop will have 18 girls), the choice is between the Speckled Sussex & the little croaker; I have one other boy in the chicklets, but he's feather footed.

I didn't send the daughter to Elk River High School. She wanted to finish out in Minnetonka with her friends so she drive for a couple of years.
Congrats on the new grand baby, yey!

We lived in zimmerman off of 281st by elk lake. zimmerman address, princeton schools. But, prior to that I lived in zimmerman, a block off of lake fremont, so zimmerman schools there, but my daughter went to school in otsego as I had to drop her at my mom's prior to work. I was just teasing though, she wanted to stay in elk river schools but the big reason we moved was I wanted to move closer to work, that extra 20 minutes in the commute was killing me. I work in Arden Hills.

I'll have to get up the gumption to watch those videos... I'm very bad with horror films or many suspense films. horror films I can't watch at all, suspense films my husband has to pre-screen and he lets me know if he thinks I can handle it or not. i'm terrible.
