12poundbass

Coming down pretty good here. We’ve received around 2-2.5” since I got home just over an hour ago. We’re supposed to get 6-8” by Saturday. We’re almost to 6 right now. We might be getting 12” they’re predicting just south of us. ?

There’s a state out west some place (I want to say Montana) that’s been trying beet juice instead of salt with pretty good success.

The Central Michigan/Western Michigan football game last night looked interesting. By the end of the game the couldn’t find the end zone.

We’re on the very northern edge of the 12” accumulation prediction here. Our snowfall amount is through Saturday night though. Hopefully we end up with a third of that. @A-Jay at least we’re not in Buffalo, NY 3-4’ predicted. ?

I saw the title and instantly said, “oh geezus here we go.” Then I read your post. Ya got me! ?

I swear I hear them say it with a G on the fishing shows on TV. I’ve never pronounced it like that but it’s always left me scratching my head and wondering if I’m hearing things. Glad I’m not the only one.

Well, we finally got our first snow to the tune of around 3-4”. Hank has been ecstatic about it and as usual every first couple snows of the year, he wants out every 20-30 minutes so he can eat the snow. As I’ve mentioned a few times before he’s a Great Pyrenees and they’re nocturnal so him wanting out includes through the night! He got the stern voice after the third trip out. Message received on his end. I’m still in partial zombie mode today. ? We’re forecasted to get another 4-6” through Saturday.

I’ve been fortunate to not see a bunch of blood and gore so I’m not a 100% sure, but I have a theory. I’ve seen cuts and blood on people and didn’t have an issue except twice. 1: a kid put his hand through a door window and cut it down to tendons. 2: a guy at work cut his finger off on a table saw Both times they were yelling and screaming and I started feeling weird. Maybe it was adrenaline, I’m not sure. I cut myself plenty of times, shot myself twice with a nail gun and pulled the nails out both times. And have seen others cut themselves. None of those times anyone was screaming and I had no issues. No issues with field dressing deer either. So, I think as long as there’s no chaos with blood and gore I’m good. I’ve only seen dead people at funerals and my father in-law at his house when he passed and I’ll say that creeps me out. I couldn’t imagine seeing a dead person in a situation other than those two scenarios. I’d be gone like Speedy Gonzales!

Cute pups. You and Lynn are saints. Hopefully those two can stay together.

Look up Michelin UPTIS. Apparently they are available for passenger vehicles (or will be in 2024). They wouldn’t be good in our areas. Could you imagine getting snow caked in there and throwing the balance off? You’d have to go to the dentist weekly to get your fillings replaced!

I’ve seen them on lawn mowers mostly and on some sky lifts, but never a vehicle. I agree, I think it would be a rough ride.

Over the years my parents have had a couple of cottages on lakes. One was my stepdad’s house, so when they married that became a cottage. It was a half hour away from our house so it was used fairly frequently. They sold that and bought the property on Big Bay de noc which was almost 6 hrs away. They sold that several years later. Both were fun and a lot of memories were made, but a lot of time was spent doing up keep, instead of R&R, fishing, or golf like it was intended for. My wife has expressed interest in getting a camper or buying a cottage (eventually) up north somewhere. I’ll dig my heals in on that one. If I’m going on vacation I want to do the things people do on vacation, not the same thing I do at home.

When we first started going out to Nebraska deer hunting we experienced flat tire after flat tire. We went to the tire shop and the guy told us we needed a heavier ply tire (more ply). The rocks in their gravel used in dirt roads out there have sharp edges. Here in Michigan, they’re more rounded. We got tires with the most plys we could (I think a 12 ply, I don’t remember as it was 20 years ago) and an aggressive tire and that fixed the problem.

I imagine they’ve already considered it, but with all the EV’s catching fire in Florida after the hurricane I wouldn’t want one in my boat. Plus my electric bill is high enough now. ?

No, he’s just a smart man that has the pallet for fine adult beverages.

Not a good year for air shows this year. This accident, the jet semi here in Michigan, and I feel like there was another crash somewhere else. I just wonder how something like this happens.

The Bills definitely don’t need OBJ, but if he were to sign with them for the remainder of the season I wouldn’t be disappointed that’s for sure.

NBC Sports is reporting Allen is starting. Another interesting thing I read on Fan nation, Von Miller set up a call between OBJ and Bills GM this week.

We’re going to need a bigger boat

?

Terrible! I never got the boat out once. Work, life, and a new house killed the dream of trying new lakes in my area. 5-6 long months to wait and have regrets about this year. ?

Monster G2-G3’s. How long are they?

Thanks coach! ?

No boat for me. Dam!
