    If your kid has a ticket or at-fault accident or doesn’t get a 3.0 or higher GPA or both ticket/accident and bad grades in school that change would not be out of the norm. Your agent should be going thru what options are available to offset that change with you. And as a reminder IDO is great for a lot of things, insurance advice is not one of them.

    Is it heavy? A good fan should have some weight behind it.

    Sure seems to be a big uptick in bear sightings the last 5-10 years. You think the numbers are up, or just so many trail cams out that we see what’s out there a lot more? Does the DNR do a Bear Report on the overall #’s?

    Shrimp Fried Rice and smash burgers thus far for me. I don’t plan on cooking inside much this summer, this thing is slick and clean up is a breeze!

    I don’t know the lakes specifically, but I know the top 5 were split between big and smaller lakes. Sometimes those little gems produce some big #’s!

    Anyone know what the 1st place team was DQ’d for?

    “Keyser Soze”

    Great reference!

    They are in a rather tough division

    Maybe, maybe not. Seems like every year a division looks tough, and then a couple 2-3 teams end up being paper champs. I remember in 2022 when KC had won a SB already and were coming off a loss in the AFC title game the year before, Chargers got Khalil Mack opposite Bosa and Herbert was coming off 5k yards, the Broncos traded for Russell Wilson, and the Raiders added Devante Adams and Josh McDaniels. At the time it looked like the toughest division ever. Now 2 years later 3 of those teams have new HC, 2 have new QB’s, and it’s KC’s division by a mile.

    Detroit has to show they are built to last (I think so), but it’s different when you are the team everyone is coming for. Packers have a lot of new pieces and a QB sitting out for a contract, that he will surely get, but how long does that take? And can he build off last year? Tape is out now. Chicago is Chicago, and there is a ton of pressure and egos depending on Caleb Williams stepping into being the man immediately. And the Vikes have a bust veteran QB and then the 5th QB taken in this draft leading an otherwise pretty good roster. A LOT to be determined across the division.

    It’s painted red, the stripe was white
    It was eighteen feet, from the bow to stern light
    Secondhand, from a dealer in Minnesota
    I rode up with daddy, when he went there to get her
    … Put on a shine, put on a motor
    Built out of love, made for the water….

    Walker Bay humps?

    You should see them on your map, there’s a bunch of humps that come up to 20-30ish feet throughout Walker Bay. I’d try the islands and Walker Narrows too if you are going out to the big lake. Lindy rig and a leech or jig and a leech or plastic. Trolling raps at dusk.

    Christian Darrisaw extended for 4 years $113M with $77M guaranteed, making him the highest paid tackle in the NFL by APY. This is a great signing imo, he’s already in the discussion for best tackle in the league, and is only 25 years old. Also, next offseason the Vikings will have over $100M in cap space, Kwesi has done an awesome job turning the roster over and creating cap space.

    Don’t expect much at the deadline this year, again. FWIW the Twins payroll this year is down $27M from last year, and only $13M higher than it was in 2011 (as far back as Spotrac goes).

    Any ideas to share for a first time boater on Leech?

    Not much to worry about as far as rocks or stuff to hit other than near shore. There is a couple accesses right in Walker, or Erickson’s just north of Walker. All of them are nice, safe accesses unless the wind kicks up in the wrong direction. There’s a good bait shop downtown, in addition to Reed’s who also has bait, and another one just north of town off 371 before Ericksons Landing. Weed lines are usually good during the daytime hours for multi-species, the humps in Walker bay in the morning and at dusk, and wind blown points are kind of the status quo bites on Leech imo.

    Well a combination of a moderate grease fire in the old gas Weber aligning with Amazon Prime days has a new 36″ Blackstone sitting in my garage. Seasoned it up with Avocado oil, and made Shrimp Fried rice loosely based of ThunderLund’s recipe above. Really good, and I’m excited to get some burgers and breakfast going too. But thought I’d bump this up for any other outside the box recipes you all are using?

    Trim isn’t a big deal imo, it’s nice but not something you are using multiple times every time out. Electric start would be much nicer imo. 9.9 and 15 hp engines pushed those old Lunds around for decades, we have a 15 HP ‘Rude on the old 16’ Lund and that’s plenty but I definitely agree with the IDO mantra if some is good, more is better!

    Love me a good breakfast sammy. Dont know why I dont like the taste of ham on them though. Maybe a thick chunk would be ok but not the thin sliced stuff.

    I am the same for what ever reason. No ham on my breakfast sandwiches. But boy do I love making breakfast sandwiches with bacon and sausage.

    What about Ham and Cheese Omelet’s? That is on the breakfast Mount Rushmore! rotflol

    4 years ago, there was barely a boat or ATV to be found on the lot. That will lead to some kind of correction. My local online marketplace is flooded with boats.

    Yeah, the used boat is quickly returning to some normalcy. Prices are coming down and even then they are sitting for awhile
     

    All powersports brands right now have huge inventory and the future looks bleak for the short term. Polaris, BRP, Merc, and Deere have all had layoffs.

    Same thing happened to Mortgage Brokers, everyone and their sister bought/refi’d at historic lows and now lots of people looking for work. The smart ones made hay when the sunshine’d and saved it for a rainy day, which is now.

    What kind of volume are you talking? Something that you can do a few things on a semi-regular basis? If so, one of the square countertop ones would be the route. We usually only have a big fry a couple times a year, and like the turkey fryer base with a fry pan/basket on it for bigger cooks.

    Yeah, from I have read rebooting is when the bluescreen of death happens and then you are really stuck.

    I plan on actually taking my ice fishing stuff out of the rafters this year, beyond that I hope to get my boys more ice time. Hopefully Red early ice, a couple Mille Lacs trips, plenty of panfishing in the metro and a buddies trip to LOW.

    Homemade sourdough everything bagel? Most impressive.

    I’d love to take credit, but my wife’s cousin just started a cottage bakery at home making all things sourdough. So we ordered a couple dozen bagels and she shipped them to us. She goes by The Blessed Baker on Facebook if anyone wants to order something, she lives in Pepin.

    My wife and I were joking about this last night. One of the classic comedy bits every on TV.

    Haha I had to explain it to my wife last night, who apparently was a little too young for Newhart which ended in 1990. Great bit, and now Bob, Larry, Daryl and Daryl can be reunited.
