That does look funny Troy!

I am on the Budget Advisory Council. Brooklyn Park is what is called a "Charter" city. So they have to have certain commissions to control aspects of the city. It's a spot appointed by council. Fun, well, I don't know if fun is the word so much... LOL

Mine was busy. I had three tow calls this morning and the funny thing is two of three were white Ford Focus's with security issues. Then I went to Fargo this afternoon.

Good evening guys, how's it going. Fishing was great the last 2 days. We left River Falls at 6 yesterday morning, got to Two Rivers, WI at at 1:30 or so after a few stops. Got out on the boat at 2. Fished until 8:30 and caught 9 fish (8 Chinooks and 1 Rainbow). Got back to motel at 9:30. Got up at 3:30 this AM and back out on the water at 4:30. Fished until 10 and put 10 fish in the box (9 Chinooks and 1 Coho). We also had 6 fish get off today, would have been a super day if we could have landed them all. Still, it was a GREAT trip. The captain of the boat said fishing had been really slow lately and this was the best 2 day trip he had had in a long time. This is the charter we had, what a great guy Cool City Charters - Lake Michigan charter fishing out of the port of Two Rivers, WI

That is why I like getting eggs from my FIL, no need to worry with those.

That's odd. What are the chances of that happening...

I think I found a wheel lift for my truck. It's an add-on style, but it's manual in and out. Power up and down. It's one year old for $2,000. But it's in PA...
