    We get them a lot here especially on the smaller lakes where the ice sometimes freezes smoother. Some are catamaran type sail and a few are like sail rigged wake boards.

    Best thing ahhhhh watching A,J zooming through the woods after being cooped up with mom for over a week. I took him on our mile + hike through the woods yesterday
    That was a tad challenging even in just a couple of inches of snow.
    As I'm walking thinking about how my calves and thighs were burning going up the hill, I get hit from behind. I turn and there is A.J. tail wagging wildly with a 3inch diameter 8 ft long limb in his mouth. He'd run up behind me slapping my legs to get me....to throw it for him...lol I found a smaller one for him to retrieve.
    , again and again and.......

    Ice boats are so fun, problem is they don't do well with snow on the ice.

    Dude blows his kid and wife's heads off bc he was embaraased about getting caught doing shady business. That's how narcissistic that man was....murder his family in attempts to gain sympathy or whatever he was looking for to avoid jail.

    this whole thing is a very common West African-based scam. Unfortunately a lot of kids fall for it, actually end up getting into a back and forth with the perp, and end up actually sending real dic pics (and worse) then get even further wrapped up...several kids have committed suicide.

    There are some real a-holes in this world.

    people who love venison cube steaks just love venison cube steaks.
    I like them well enough salisbury style with mushroom gravy, but I would rather cube or dice them up and make really good chili or taco meat out of them.

    To this here's one I can officially share now.

    Our 4years of private college, their 2 years of grad school.
    Another new promotion and making way more than AOC. The world is not completely insane. Proud Mom and Dad, great investment. That said not even close to field degree is in but a degree got them here.

    ^^^ Would be hard to compare with what AOC is making with all the insider trading that Senators and Representatives get away with unchecked. Seems they all become millionaires in short order while in office.
    Good for your kids though. You have good reason to be proud!

    You need a better financial adviser, with 8.5m you should be getting a much higher weekly payout...

    Your correct on that for sure.
    Have to say though weren't surprised. In 3rd grade they tried to force us into putting them on Ritalin. They said they wouldn't make friends. I said hell no and went to a highly respected kids psychologist. He did an IQ test then said it's a matter of being bored and finds class mates irritating. The IQ scores were 136 in 3rd grade. The school left it alone after that and then we moved.

    You see me say this all the time. In everything bad there will always be something good if you look. How ever slight it may be.
    So no TV. Besides reading and busy work. I rediscovered the DVD. Oh my God. The movies one forgets they had and wokeness will never find...lol
    Ride With the Devil..that one was a bit tough to watch actually. Once upon a Texas train, lmao! Oxygen, Domestic Disturbance. Etc....
    Glad I save everything. Man I must have hit that 1-5 dollar bin at Wally World a lot back then..hahaha
