    It has been 7 years since they condemned the building our fire base dispatch and office space I went in early and took a light fixture out of the restroom. I rebuilt the fixture and it will be installed in my pantry. A porcelain light fixture with a quartz shroud, WPA era Gov't issue. There is a reason it has sat in a bag on a shelf for 7 years, questions were asked.:confused:

    Congrats, Brett I was glad that a MN sports team could once again come up short to make fans dreams of other teams come true.

    The only question now is what big school will come for your wife for coaching.

    Minnesota is a big ten school.

    Very cool! Congrats to you! No doubt a lot of hard work and sacrifice has been put in over many years. No doubt being a supportive father and husband has helped them achieve this. Congrats again!

    Would have to be the right place for us to leave. She needs to have some consistency with her record due to taking over two underperforming schools, but there is no doubt she can coach.

    Resident loons are back and they are telling everyone. Beautiful windless morning you can hear birds calling constantly, turkeys are fired up this morning water is like glass and the fish are surfacing.

    Baseball season started last night. My oldest started on the mound and pitched a three inning no hitter until he was relieved in the fourth; 8K, 1 W, and forced a ground out. 9 of the 10 batters he faced were out. He was working the fastball and slider beautifully, the only kid to make solid contact grounded out on an easy hit, other than a couple of foul balls, he was throwing so hard most of the kids couldn't catch it.

    Waking up at 4 a.m. thinking I'm actually dreaming due to hearing peeping chicks.
    I actually have CHICKS!..LOL out of 8, 2 are out and 3 eggs are cracking so far. First time hatching, better than expected thus far.

    Back when I used to order chicks and have them mailed to me, the post office always called early and asked I could come get them, evidently the constant peeping is annoying. Old did you get electrolites for the water? Never lost a chick when I was sure to put that in the water every time.
