I listened to the scanner audio as it was going on. Kid was dead on the sidewalk, had the bomb squad xraying him and clearing his pockets as he had what looked to be suspicious objects in them.

I get keeping the scene secure, but you rope off the area, once its deemed safe put a tent over the body, take kids out other doors not near the scene. It doesn’t take 8 hours to clear the bomb squad. If I recall it was about 2:00pm the EOD stated his pockets were safe.

Whoever made the decision to hold everyone that long needs to be questioned/investigated why. The trauma for those kids will be lifelong and holding them longer doesn’t help.

Okay Karen. Maybe now that Sharon is in charge meh thinks she should pin it to the top.

LOL *simple* I guess the whiskey had already gotten to me.

2 parts Turbinado Sugar
1 part water

Simmer until sugar fully dissolved and let cool. Tastes almost like maple syrup when done.

Pool 4 or Pool 5.

Probably 5 since the Governor is for some reason having the “Opener” on Pool 4 despite the season never closing here. That type of logic is exactly what I’ve come to expect. I think him being on Red or Mille Lacs is a much better idea

Hopefully he spends all his time under the bridges….

Too soon?

I’m in the middle of installing 62 lineal feet of butcherblock for a customer’s basement bar and entertainment center. Going to use a water-based poly. Just be sure to seal the bottom and all sides before you install it as well.

Guilty all charges

I agree, the stress involved being on that jury is something I hope I never have to go through.

I’m sure she’s not the only juror with sleepless and restless nights, and it just caught up with her.

I just read that she was an elderly (90ish) woman. No clue why they would even make someone that old serve, but that tells part of the story on why she nodded off.

Also the ‘witness’ to her sleeping didn’t seem very confident with it and didn’t bother to mention to anyone else during trial, only afterwards. He was also on the prosecution side, and I fully understand why they may want her off the panel. And nobody else in the courtroom noticed her sleeping.

There are ~100k+ people in St. Croix County WI. They couldn’t find a juror who is healthy enough to not pass out during the trial where he decides the fate of someone’s life?

physical health examinations are not part of the jury selection process

Also thinking about having the fate of someone’s life in their hands will keep someone up at night, thus not sleeping and causing that person to nod off during the day. We don’t know the circumstances surrounding this juror so why judge them?

He’s a really defense lawyer. Based one the first 3 days of this trial I’d be fairly surprised if it was a guilty verdict.

Yup, one of them was on the Rittenhouse defense, so Mr Miu has a solid team. The prosecution looks like a bunch of bumbling clowns.

Is the only charge 1st degree? I watched the video but once is enough. Seeing the one kid laying on his back and another view of an obvious pool of blood in a murky river is unsettling.

Yes, 1 count of 1st degree murder, 4 counts of 1st degree attempted murder, and 1 count of a misdemeanor. IMO the prosecutor is going to have a tough time proving 1st deg intent because of the video. He clearly didn’t go there to kill someone. The only thing they have going for them is he was found and arrested 1.5 hours later about a mile down river.

The kids were drinking, heavily. Autopsy showed BAC of.219 on the kid killed. And everyone was saying he was the least drunk of all his group.

And from what I have read, the kid in the orange shorts you see stabbed in the abdomen was not the one killed.

I will be absolutely shocked if he’s not found guilty, but hopefully those kids understand their stupidity played a significant role in this. It’s more than a story about “some psycho guy who attacked people with a knife.”

Unfortunately they are trying to charge him with 1st degree homicide and 1st degree attempted, with that video I can see no way they can find him guilty of anything 1st degree. 2nd maybe, 3rd definitely.

It’s been a few years since I’ve been to VNP, however in my experience, the rangers and DNR are some of the most arrogant and rude I’ve ever interacted with.

Post it to Lund Pro V Owners group on Facebook.

Most newer Bobcats(skidsteers) have a top escape hatch. Still scary as hell however.

I cringe at the helicopters used in wild boar hunting.

Wild boars are incredibly invasive. They cause billions of dollars in damage each year and can reproduce multipletimes a year. They will kill and displace everything if given a chance. They need to be controlled, and if a helicopter and AK47 or AR is the answer, so be it. I’d rather give deer, fox and other natural wild animals a chance than give the control to wild boars.

I was looking at my FILs woodstove with one of the heat ran fans on top this weekend and thought, hey, that could work on a Buddy heater! So I jumped on Amazon and started searching and low and behold they already make them! Pretty awesome and don’t have to worry about batteries!

Heard a Bobcat fell through on Nokomis today

Red door closed their access today for likely the next week. Only open to registered guests and atv/sxs/snowmobiles.

We’ve got the sleep number king size with fully independent adjustable head and foot. Was great at first but now we barely use the adjustments. The seam in the middle kinda prevents a person from inadvertantly adventuring to the other side, could be good or bad depending on your relationship. I’ve noticed our “play time” is much greater when we are sleeping closer in other beds like hotels and such.

By “Musky Destination” they mean the smell, Eau De Toilet!!

go the next size bigger than what the charts say to install…

Don’t do that. That will cause short cycling, which is not good for the motors and heat exchanger. Since it causes the unit to start up and shut down more frequently it puts extra stress on everything and can lead to premature failure of the heater, especially the heat exchanger. It also uses about twice the amount of energy that a properly sized unit would because of this. The correct size or slightly smaller is always the best when installing a heater or AC unit.

Yup! However if I had the option I’d do in floor heat.

The hardest part of installing a garage heater is figuring out the exhaust. If you don’t know what you’re doing definitely hire that part out.

That was quick

There was a thread here somewhere back in around the beginning of 2020 of a couple guys who have modded their portables with diesel heaters. I’ll see if I can find it.
