Good morning fellow knifers .
Big H . Hope your jaw from your dental work heals up and doesn’t give you much grief.
Been up in “ the north woods “ country fishing . Fishing has been okay. Caught our limit of Crappies .Weather not bad . Smoke from the Canadian fires was bad enough the other day our friend Bob had to leave . Today there’s still a haze in the air . My fishing partner ( Vic) and I are sitting here trying to get from the cabin to the boat and we’re not moving too fast yet . Sometimes you need to just enjoy the moment . Here’s a few pics. The Eagle population here has really grown in the last 10 years or so . They have learned to watch the boats and wait for fish that aren’t going to make it to go belly up and they’ve got an easy meal . It’s an amazing site when they come swooping in after the belly up fish . They will nest in big pines and while watching for food perch on dead trees for better visibility.
You all have a great day out there.
Great pics. Fine mess of crappie

Good morning. Looks to be a fine Friday coming my way. We have a few jobs to try and finish up today and a wedding tomorrow that we might travel to. Otherwise it should be a quiet weekend and I would love that. I took a couple pictures of the stone cabin and the stuga we have been working on and it looks like something out of a fairy tale. I will post them when I remember to bring my camera in from the truck. Have a good Friday._____Dave

Good Mornin'.
71° this morning, sun is in the tops of the tallest pines. Yesterday we had a sprinkle at Starvation Plantation around 3pm. Drove to the barbershop 3 miles away and the roads in town were flooded and there was a closed sign on the barbershop door. Workday day went well, taco salad was great and the short afternoon nap was fine.

Nothing planned for today out of the ordinary. Coffee is about to be served.
Y'all have a great day.

Good morning Folks . Sure is nice to be home and drinking that first cup of coffee with my wife . Received a package from Steve (LKSKNIVES) and was gifted a few things . Posted that stuff on mail call thread . Have our biggest car show in the valley tomorrow, so will be heading to Brothers shop to help get things ready . Then we have to go mark off the spaces ,set up a few tents tables ,etc. Have plenty of things to do around the house/ yard but that will have to wait till next week .
Ike ,that Club city sign is all that’s left of the old Bar that was on that site many years ago . The owner has it hooked up on a sensor so the light comes on at night . It’s become a beacon of sorts when returning from fishing at night .
Boji. It’s beautiful country up there . If you ever get back up this way you are welcome to hang out w/ us .
Dave up north. Enjoy your lo key weekend .
Missouri Gorilla, really good to see you posting . It’s hard when our pets get old . It’ll take time to recover.
Time to get after it. You all enjoy what you can out there .

Good Morning fellow diners. Another warm sunny day.-
My Florida sister will arrive this afternoon. I think we will take her out for supper.
For the past few weeks, there have been no sightings of groundhogs. My sister launched a poisoning campaign and it appears to have succeeded.
peace & health

Good morning gang. I'm currently in the third ward of Milwaukee at a hotel with my wife celebrating 11 years of marriage. We went out to a nice dinner last night at Sanford then had a drink at the hotels roof top bar. Now time for coffee. And this big ol' maple bacon doughnut. Cities in general make my skin crawl, but really the third ward here is pretty relaxed.
Hope you all have a splendid day

My wife & I spent some time in the third ward a week ago, no maple donuts, but that sure looks tasty. It is a nice area with well preserved buildings, enjoy your visit!
