    I was the guy in the tan Buick lesabre who passed the IDO crew driving on 94 by St. Cloud today. I honked and waived as I went by. Man that’s a sharp truck! Guess I’ll have to tune in Sunday to see where you were coming from unless someone wants to give a spoiler!?!? Couldn’t help but feel jealous. here I am on my way home from my boring everyday 7-3:30er, and you guys are coming off the lake somewhere. Man I’d like to wring my HS guidance counselor’s neck!

    It’s not all unicorns and rainbows for those guys. They have a strong expectation to perform possibly under the most adverse conditions. Imagine being under the gun and being told you have only so many hours to drill a hole in the ice and pull fish out of it!!!

    I thought a bad day fishing beats a good day working any day.

    Good grief. It’s like they are storming the beaches of Normandy.

    Imagine being a police officer or a nurse/doctor in a COVID ward right now.

    And who isn’t expected to perform at their job…

    I don’t think castle rock was trying to compare them to the military or er docs. Just pointing out they are not just fishing for fun everyday. But way to bring covid into it.

    I thought this was going to be a fun thread, I mean “unicorns and rainbows”??? That sounds like an invitation to a party to me!

    I was hoping there would be more to the story like how you tailed them following to the secret IDO lair, 😆

    I thought a bad day fishing beats a good day working any day.

    But what if fishing is your work?

    I hear you can buy rainbows just south of red. We were going to get a few but they were closed. God it would have looked so good next to my participation medal jester

    That’s why they drill so many holes, to hide the bodies.

    They can’t drill a hole big enough to fit my body through…

    Hang in there bud. Your time is coming. Will take a few years. Then I’ll be jealous looking back to when my kids weren’t to cool to go fishing with dad, after they discover girls, working, and sports. I’ve probably only got ‘‘em another year or two before all that.

    I’m worried that my son is also almost at that age. We spent the day on the lake Saturday and it was the best day we could have had just him and I.
