    Man that's screwing up your farmers this year. Damn all this global warming..Oh wait haven't they been spraying to block the sun in the fly over states? Trying to chemically change the weather, you know that Bill Gates scheme.

    It's the lone star tick that has the alfa Gail allergy. I got bit by one about a month ago. Really hope it wasn't one that has it. My wife has the Alfa Gail. We didn't know and she was getting tested for some unknown allergies. Came back with it. She gets some random symptoms from some meats. Mostly pork products. Had it from a wine one time, pepperoni, and red jello. Most reactions is upset stomach, hives and throat closing. She now carries a epe pin at all times. Don't know if what I would do if I was allergic to red meat.

    Me neither, I'm just too tired fighting all bugs . I go out side and it's like I ring a dinner bell. I go to a restaurant and the one fly in it will find me. I could never sun bath when younger because I was either stung or eaten alive. Also it's ALL bugs . I should hire myself out to a repellent study, give them a real challenge.

    Been snowing all day but melts as soon as it lands.
    Just a super muddy mess here.
    I'm stranded at my cabin. Boring as hell!
    No shed hunting/firewood cutting. No nothing.
    River flooding has got me locked in.
    Got 3/4 days left of food.
    Sposed to get down into the low 20's in a few mornings, will try n get out on the frost.

    Snowiest season EVER for our area. What a winter it was... I hope I am done with the snow complaints after this last little system blew through. Yes it's Minnesota and we should expect snow, but having the snowiest season on record is crazy. Wonder when we will break the record again?

    Minnesota winter sports teams, the Wolves and Wild are both in the playoffs at the same time ever, never have both teams made it to the second round of the playoffs in the same year, not ever. They suck.
