You just wonder how much these victims/witnesses get offered from diddly-dipsh*t or his people to hush up. I could see living with some long ago trauma(which will probably never go away entirely anyways) for millions of dollars. My and my family’s life set forever…

Or are they just threatened with violence etc.?

I’m guessing they were paid off AND threatened with violence. I guess we will find out… or at least I hope we do, but like Thumper said, I don’t have faith in the system when it comes to cases like these.

I didn’t fish but I hate that stuff. Almost as much as I hate cottonwood seeds…

Saturday afternoon we noticed that the cottonwood seeds were just starting to hit the water, by the end of the weekend my friend and I both had the little ball of fibers on our lines. Everything’s happening earlier this year. Weeds were about where they usually are on Memorial Day…

Didn’t really target Walleyes, Casted around got a bunch of Bass a couple of pike and had one exciting Muskie follow while casting a chatter bait. Our lake isn’t managed for Muskie, but the neighboring lake is and a few get in via a shallow creek, probably as fry. They’re not super-common in our lake, even for muskie standards, so it always gets your heart pumping to see one follow your lure. Fished for panfish to take a break from casting and did OK there, kept enough for a fish fry.

I think it’s an awesome name and logo!

As beautiful as the weather’s going to be, it will be tough fishing with blue bird skies and the sun reflecting off the water in your face all day when it’s in the 80s. Opener is more about getting together with my good friend that I only see a couple times a year. As much as I’d like to do the midnight thing, we just don’t take it that seriously on opener. We’re usually pretty tuned-up by night time and content to sit around the fire. And the older we get the earlier we seem to call it a night. So we usually cast around emerging weeds and breaks for pike and might snag an occasional Walleye, otherwise we chase crappies and gills.

College. The only thing it really got me was some great memories, friends and connections (great ROI here). The actual school portion, vastly overrated and overpriced (terrible ROI here), and most importantly every job I’ve gotten I could have gotten with a HS diploma or cheaper degree.

I always say the only real thing I learned in college was how to parallel park.

This made me think… and what I’ve concluded is that I’m lucky to say that there isn’t a lot of purchases that I say I regret. I think there are a lot of things I bought when I was younger that, in-hindsight, I wish I would’ve invested in quality instead of going the cheap route, etc. Deer blinds and hub-style ice houses come to mind. But they all served the purpose, it’s just that after using them, I realized that sometimes the more expensive ones are worth it and then I’d go buy them anyway.

Ground is really wet and now we’re in for some sun and relative heat, I think they’re gonna pop all over southern MN this week. I’ll be out looking on weeknights this week, for sure.

Little man took this loss hard. Tears started to stream on the third goal. Said he wanted to stay to see Flower leave the ice. I have been a sports MN fan my whole life tears are dry for me but dang little man had me choked up a bit.
I think his losing streak this year and being tired caught up with him. Birthday is Saturday so I’m sure he will bounce back.

I remember being like your kid when I was little. My kids also get the same way. It’s hardening him for lifetime of MN defeat. But someday it will happen with one of these teams and it’s going to be the best!

I LOVE morels, But I’m not sure why anyone would want to eat them raw, I cant stand the smell of them raw. When I put them in the dehydrator for preservation the whole house smells like death. But once cooked in butter, onions and garlic there’s nothing better.

I do have the chase on in the background… they’re getting close to my in-laws.

Bad stuff out there but unless more develops, it looks like it’s going to perfectly split and spare most of the metro. I’m in the far south metro and it’s barely brushing me to the south. The cell to the north is barely going to brush the 494/694 split.

I just don’t know how you can get away with something like this for as long as she did? I mean you have to have friends and family who know you’re pregnant, right? Then you have the baby and all of the sudden it’s gone? How do you begin to explain away something like that? and then there’s a news story at the same time of this baby found in the river? Maybe it’s one thing if you’re a recluse or live your life on the run, but she led a fairly public life in the area. There had to be people who knew this whole time and protected her and that makes it even more sick.

Listening now while getting some things done around the house. If you hear Foghat on any other radio station, it’s gonna be Slow Ride – a song that’s so overplayed I couldn’t care less if I ever heard again. But right now, the GOAT is playing Stone Blue – which is an UNREAL tune, but probably not “radio-friendly”. You’re not going to hear that song on any radio station, ever. I’ve discovered so much more quality music from the Vinyl era rock bands though this station. It’s made me dive deeper via Spotify, on bands I would’ve otherwise written off as overplayed KQ bands that were before my time.

I have been listening to the GOAT out of St. Cloud once it was recommended on this thread. It is amazing! Also, it was easy to stream on my phone.

Yeah dude! The GOAT is the GOAT! I feel like I was born 20 years too late. I wish I would’ve grown up in the vinyl era.

Love that they’re in this, and I’ll keep watching as long as they are, but I just cant get into Basketball. Someone said the second period was flat, it was, and there was a whistle every 15 seconds. I feel like most of the game is watching free-throws. It is fun when a play comes together, much like Hockey, but in basketball it feels like there’s hardly more than 30 seconds without stoppage of play. And then when they do stop play they all throw their hand in the air and it’s a whine-fest.

Wow! I was an English Minor at WSU, but way before her time.

I remember the case but cant remember the details, was it ever determined if the baby was drowned or was she deceased before she was thrown in the river?

Yeah, I have a dent on just above my driver’s side headlight that I just chose not to fix. A jake came flying out of a ditch with about as much grace and maneuverability as a cannon ball and all I could do was drive through him. Luckily, he went up and over the car and didn’t really impact my windshield. They can do more damage than a guy thinks.

The first thing I thought about when I saw that is an enflamed prostate.

Yeah, I couldn’t imagine just standing there to watch a guy read a name once every 5 minutes. On TV you get analysis, highlight reels, etc. Plus I can get a beer without paying $15 for it and go to the bathroom without walking 3 miles.

I was watching ESPN, and as soon as the Vikings picked, Scheffter broke in with BREAKING NEWS that NYG traded back into the first round and there was literally no breakdown of our guy. I’m not a great draft mind but like that we went O-Line. But what’s the scouting report on Donovan Jackson? Maybe they found the time to talk about it but I turned back to the Wild. Kind of surprised they didn’t go corner, but happy with the pick.

SUPER cool!

Good news, indeed. There’s not much going on up there in TRF, that community needs the industry.

No wonder the NBA finals take place just before the 4th of July, if this series goes 7 it will cover 17 days from Game 1 to Game 7. I don’t think fatigue should be mentioned…

Yeah, the NHL is the same, the whole thing takes forever!

I haven’t had it since I was a kid because my uncle used to dip. I remember really liking it. I need to find a fry or meet up with someone who does it. Would like to see if it’s as good as I remember.

Wow, I started watching because I was curious and then realized that it goes on for 17 minutes. I’m not that interested. I shut it off.

Best bet would be to go back to the nearest source (next sprinkler head, T or main source) and cap it there.

If you’re taking out that line entirely, eliminate/isolate any unused plumbing in the circuit. If you simply want to patch it, than cut an put in a coupler and some hose clamps, like blackbay said.

We live in a Golf Cart and Side x Side friendly town, you have to meet certain safety requirements and I don’t think you can be out after dark, even with lights, but it’s a cool thing and doesn’t cause too many problems. Every now and then some kid gets ahold of their dad’s cart and tears through a park or something but it’s rare and it’s dealt with – unusually through Facebook shaming.

Hope they can land a few studs like they did with DJ Dozier and Dimitrius Underwood back in the day.

HA!!
Dozier wasn’t that bad, was he? I remember him not totally living up to the hype but didn’t think he was a total bust. UNDERWOOD, on the other hand – TOTAL basket case.

3/4 of an inch here in the far southern metro since yesterday. Just the type of rain we needed.
