Surviving Minnesota!

You are correct Jerry in your assessment of the weekenders. We're getting down to just a few motels and fishing resorts to have a small percentage of tourists. The majority do drive to an owned cabin. We dont underestimate though their economic shot in the arm. Local economy is pretty fragile. Those folks are much needed.
But getting old I don't like lines and I like the parking spots next to doors, etc. etc. and I like people not in a hurry and with certain friendliness. Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes. P. S. you know you are part of our town... happy Saturday all. I'm going walleye fishing on the big lake. Can't wait!

The difference in a tourist and a weekender is simply...Someone you know and like is a weekender...


Someone you do not know and may not even care for is a tourist...

Tourists are for me the ones that drive through my yard on 4-wheelers and snowmobiles.... or stop and "hike through" my woods just looking for flowers, butterflies, a place to picnic or whatever.. and the worst offenders are the ones looking to relieve themselves, whether it be one or two...

I wish they would leave their addresses so if I am in their city I could look for flowers, butterflies, a place to picnic or relieve myself if I wanted too..

They WHAT??

I am so glad tourists steer clear of here. Maybe I should play screaming noises at night to keep them away even more.

I might be in a surly mood. I am in need of a new wife. My old one has refused to perform a wifely duty. She is adamant about it.

I have a turkey hen that has a slightly anti-social personality,,,think of her as Siggie on steroids and tourists...

She hisses when we get within 15 feet of her nest. We really are not sure which turkey she is... I risked my life today to remove the screws from the plywood over her head so it can be lifted up.

I, being the man, am willing to do the heavy lifting. I have asked my soon to be ex-wife to simply reach under the turkey hen and remove the chicken eggs....


This is the wifely duty she is refusing me.... What choice do I have but to get rid of her?


Is anyone interested in some pre-started hatching eggs? I have no idea what they are but I assume PC and or SS... All you need to do is stop by and pick them up....

I need them out before they hatch and she abandons the turkey eggs. I hate mixed nests. If I was God I would have made all farm birds have the same incubation period....It would allow me to keep the old wife...



Also anyone interested in applying for the new wife position, please PM me...Thanks

Do I need to send in my application to Judy as an expert in wielding a rolling pin? I believe I could be of great service in returning to you any sense you had before...

Got some butchering done today. 5 hens and a rooster (I was wrong earlier MNchickmom) butchered in 45 minutes with my two helpers. Had some REALLY REALLY REALLY FATTY hens.

I gave them some corn over the winter and they got fat. It was kind of a stay warm treat...
