I don't gamble either. If I go to those places, I will just spend that money on booze. Than I KNOW I will get something for my money. I can sit and watch other people bet like mad and I am fine with that.

Well now they are saying that storm has destroyed between 12-15 homes here and that 1800 people are without power. An emergency shelter has been set up at one of the local churches. No reports of fatalities or injuries at this point.


The news is saying there was no tornado but that a shear wind caused the damage.

Good afternoon. Sunny and warm here and it's a welcome sight. We need to dry out! Soil is still bleeding water. No rain on the forcast but we still need some more to fill some of the lakes that are only at 40% due to thier watersheds.

No problem, it's probably a good idea, if the flying parts don't get you the pipes will.

No lutefisk though, burgers do just fine.
No ice fishing either, lake ice is getting to thin, especial here in the metro area.


Had about a inch -inch and a half sand this morning, metro traffic shut down.
Goes to show you can teach a herd of liberals how to drive in the snow repeatedly and repeatedly they forget how.

Gambling for me is when I have more money than I know what to do with, and if that was ever the case, it wouldn't be in a indian casino.

Quest for full 1/2" plywood went sour, it's either $65 furniture grade or special order for $32 plus shipping.
I'll make spacers and live with it.

Oh...my birthday is Sept 24, but thanks anyway.

No, I'm pretty sure your Birthday is today.
