    I have a friend that lives 3 miles away as the crow flies, he got a picture of him last weekend. For both of us it was the first time that the buck was on trail camera.

    A couple years ago I bought myself a Christmas present - the ability to start my truck with my phone. I can start my truck from anywhere and it's really handy when you are outside the range of the normal astrostart.

    People who come (unasked) and plow your driveway AFTER you have already cleared it using your snow blower. AND push what little snow (but mostly gravel) there was into the worst possible place.

    Now I have to spend an hour chewing up that bank to get it out of my way and will have gravel to rake from my yard in the spring.

    I hate the cold, the older I get the less I like winter. Way over rated it is getting harder and harder to provide the counter point to my wife's opinion that we should move south.

    Come on down for a visit and you likely won't want to stay up north...I made the move 30 yrs ago.

    So I went to the smoke shop to get a couple tins of SKOAL, what the hell is with people that work in smoke shops thinking it is OK to smoke inside a place of business? Also when you are an employee of a business and you are breaking the law do not get an attitude when I ask that you put the cigarette out, the smell bugs me and I am a customer. I was going to tell the dunce to get that stupid look off her face but it was naturally there impossible to remove.

    Always suspected you were a closet Vikings fan.

    SKOAL has been produced since 1934 long before the minnesota vikings were crushing the hopes and dreams of their fans.

    I have another rant about stupid NFL rules for broadcast. Tomorrow the vikings are playing the colts on CBS, Fox is going to show the 49'er game in the Twin Cities market rather than the Packer game. I am sure there is a good reason probably because the Packers game would have higher TV ratings than the viking game.
