I still need to drag the big fella (ToyHauler) if I decide to move it...
If I decide to do it - the next truck will be a gasser and I'll just wring its neck going up the big hills..

Happy Sunday everybody. We had a little frost again this morning. I'm starting to think summer is over.

Hi guys,

Just got back from a short trip to Zimmerman to visit Jake, our son, in his new digs on the lake there..
Was 26 degrees on the back deck in Kenyon... Two days of frost in a row should really slow the lawn down for the year...

Good morning everyone.

Randy, we were lucky. Had minimal damage where we live. Few trees down, no power for about 25 hours. Inland further is flooded bad. Very bad. The story here well go on for weeks. The rivers here almost all set cresting records. Many cities are basically gone.

Good morning everyone!

Hope to get some riding in today, this may be the last day for it. Also have to get some end-of-season service done on the yard equipment and motorcycles. Gonna finish getting the necessities out of the house today, and starting tonight I'll be living in an apartment in Isanti.

Glad you guys are safe and didn't have much damage. Sucks about all the devastation inland though.

Good morning all, had a busy but good weekend. Saturday we replaced curtains on the father-in-laws hog barn. Sunday we did some much needed stuff around the house. It will be an interesting week as well. Here back on whether our house offer was accepted and maybe go look at a truck.

Enjoy the day!
