Not really a dive bar, but Mauer Bros. in Elba is a family owned bar that’s been in the Whitewater Valley forever. Burgers, frozen pizzas, fish fries on Fridays. The bar pics posted earlier remind me of Mauers…. lots of animal mounts, many from the valley.
Always stop in there when hunting of fishing Whitewater WMA or the river. Good place.
Only Kirriloff, Correa and Buxton hitting their weight and Buxton is headed down fast. They do look foolish on breaking balls, don’t seem to pick up the spin and lay of out of strike zone pitches. Also watch to many fastballs go down the pipe. Very frustrating to watch.
If you are interested in purchasing and keeping a rig, look south. Lots of Motor homes purchased during the pandemic by people looking to travel and head to warm states that have discovered it’s not the life they envisioned. A buddy picked one up in Atlanta and drove it back to Wisconsin for 25% less than he could find it in the five state area.
DT – good summation of MN law, unsure of WI law. My criminal law class was at the U of M Law School 40+ years ago and I never practiced so don’t offer definitive legal opinions.
Depending on jurisdiction the prosecution can charge with lesser included crimes for the same act.
My in-laws put their lake home in Western Michigan into a trust with my wife and her three siblings as beneficiaries. FIL and MIL are now gone, kids are coming to alignment on selling the lake place (sister in Las Vegas, brother in Chicago with a place near Lake Geneva, WI, brother who can’t swing the place on his own and us in the Twin Cities). The trust kept things stable until the beneficiaries could figure out what to do. I strongly recommend a trust for real estate.
Also, consider your options with your attorney. The attorney who handled the trust, wills and other documents was great. He retired, we ended up having to deal with a successor partner who sucked. Keep and eye on what goes on with your attorney (doctor, dentist, etc.) to ensure you have the representation you desire for the long term.
Weren’t Darnold, Wentz, Lance, Wilson, Trubisky to name a few picked at the top of the first round.
Coffct about all unless you mean Russell Wilson rather than Zach Wilson. Russell was a 3rd rounder and not a bust but seems to currently be a head case.
Last year I was surprised to see a sturgeon on the Wolf River camera.
Brad, I use a brine for most all of my pickling that is based on 1/4’s. If I use a cup of water, I use 1/4 cup of cider vinegar and 1/2 of a 1/8 cup measure [1/16 cup] of canning salt. If you’re doing a large batch of pickles, use a gallon od water, 1 quart of vinegar and a cup of the salt. Boil until the salt is dissolved. The brine can be sweetened with sugar if desired or needed. Its not hyper salty and is a great all-around brine for pickling any veggies.
Thanks. I think I’ve been using too much vinegar.
Great on the grill or roasted in the oven. We often will cook chicken breast on a sheet pan with some combination of asparagus carrots, green beans and potatoes.
Trying to get a good pickled green bean recipe. What brine do you use for pickling asparagus?
Get the surgery, money should not matter if the dog is a family member, if your wife tore her ACL would you not get it fixed?
Better question, would she get mine fixed?
Our son (now nearly 30) grew up playing baseball, football, basketball and tennis. He also did chess club, Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts, piano and other non-athletic activities. Very bright kid, as he got to 8th grade we discussed moving to a district with a better academic high school. His response was negative. We asked for his reasons and he laid it out well.
The high school in town had a lot of College in the Schools courses and AP courses – he came out of high school with a year of college credits, was a National Merit Scholar Honorable Mention and was top 5 in his class.
He wanted to continue to play multiple sports in high school. If we enrolled him in another district to up the academic reputation (Edina, Minnetonka and the like) he knew he wouldn’t play varsity football or tennis. We agreed to stay where we were and he crushed high school. His football team wasn’t great but he made wonderful friends and had a ball. He and his doubles partner were Academic All-State tennis players. His senior year they went to districts and got crushed by the Edina doubles team 6-1, 6-1. When they came off the court he said “That’s what happens when Academic All-State plays All-State.”
I’m so proud of him that it hurts, because he wasn’t great at anything other than being a great person.
Glad Provus is still around, he’s a Uecker protege and does a good job. The rest are fine, not great.
I use a dehydrator with a teriyaki marinade. Cut turkey in to 1/4 inch thick strips. Marinate in equal parts soy sauce (not lower sodium variety), pineapple juice and brown sugar; add powdered ginger and garlic to taste. Marinate overnight. Dehydrate until the strips feel like leather. Do not over dry.
We split season tickets with another couple, attended the Northwestern and Michigan State games. Fun to watch, players are buying in to the program. Hawkins, Christie, Payne and Garcia all bring something to the table.

Aint worth your time until you have at least 20 gallons then you will get about 2 qts for your effort.Completely agree, I’m just saying I’m not ready, and at this rate I’ll be overwhelmed in a hurry with this crazy weather. I really want to use wood for fuel and I’m not ready yet. Thought I had another 6 weeks to get going lol
Evaporator doesn’t need to be fancy. Mine is a 55 gallon drum with a stove kit, 8 foot pipe and a rectangular cut out on top of the barrel that fits a stainless steel food service tray. The interior is lined with firebrick on the bottom, makes the stove a lot more efficient. Preheat sap with a propane turkey fryer. Small scale operation, I boiled 200 gallons of sap last year, yield was 5.5 gallons of syrup.
A buddy photographed tapped trees near Annandale yesterday and sent it my way. I am tapping the maple in my back yard today to see what’s happening. Not really ready to boil yet, need to pick up wood. Could be a crazy syrup season.
A buddy sent who knows I make maple syrup sent a picture this morning, a guy near Annandale already has sap buckets hung.
Nevermind.
Does look good!
Cup of coffee with a bump of Bailey’s would be a good pairing.
Heathen! Or did you mean to write “Cup of coffee with a bump of Jameson’s would be a good pairing”?
Yeast breads are great, also like to make quick breads. Favorites are cottage dill bread and date nut bread.
Size structure is better because it is strictly catch and release for game fish. Depending on where you come from you can launch on the relative outskirts of town and traffic doesn’t suck.
Boot fit changes as well, so even if you like a certain boot in the past, a new version or changes in manufacturing may make it not fit when you go to get a new pair.
I’ve experienced this to the point that when I find a shoe or boot that I really like, I immediately purchase another pair. My wife scoffed but now does the same thing. We have a storage closet half-full of shoe and boot boxes.
Another endorsement for Undaunted Courage. Ambrose wrote a lot of books including Nothing Like It in the World, story of the competition to build the transcontinental railroad.
If you are a Teddy Roosevelt fan I recommend The River of Doubt, story of his trip of exploration in South American. They renamed the river Rio Roosevelt after him.
Go Packers and ef the Bears!
Any Gene Hill book if you can find it. A Listening Walk…and Other Stories is sitting on my nightstand.
In general, I have found most of these new craft-distilled American whiskies to be disappointing and they quickly are relegated to the minor leagues of use for things like soaking the Christmas cake and for whisky custard for the Christmas pudding. However… Brother Justus Cold Peat filtered is shockingly good for a craft distillery whiskey. Completely drinkable.
Went to O’Shaughnessy Distilling Co. a couple nights ago, may change your mind about domestic distilling. A friend with us had recently been on the tour, an interesting background story. Among the things they’ve done to bring a first class distillery to the Twin Cities was hire Master Distiller Brian Nation, former Master Distiller at Jameson, Redbreast and Midleton Very Rare whiskey’s.
We tried all of the whiskies, they also distill gin and vodka. I brought home a bottle of the Keeper’s Heart Irish Bourbon Whiskey. I suggest giving it a try.
Firm price is ?
We had neighborhood pea shooter fights in the small park across the street from the house which doubled as our whiffle ball field. Peas and beans would sprout for weeks after the big wars.
