The boundary waters were horrible this year for mosquitoes
We went to George Manitou on Saturday and hiked the Beaver Bog trail. Someone in our party really should have put 2 and 2 together on that one.
However, we did see a lot of moose hoof prints. So, that was cool.

I went to prairie du chien today to go to the fish market and Petes. Turns out both are closed on Tuesdays. Went to Cabellas and bought a bag of burnt peanuts, Bass Pro party mix and a Bass Pro Hat. I learned you should Google things before going.
So, where did you have lunch? The walleye at Fort Mulligans is a solid back up.
 
Days like today are why I have an rv. 70ish and sunny. Light breeze here outside Pella. Absolutely perfect day.
 
I used to laugh at those jag offs from Minnesota who would tell tales of their mosquitoes. Well, after two full weeks this Summer in Minnesota hiking through prime mosquito habitat I can confirm those are the biggest, most aggressive mosquitoes this side of the jungles of Nam.
I've always thought it was crazy that the mosquitoes grew so much larger the farther north one travels. We had one near Winnipeg bump into our car and nearly knock it off the road. Meanwhile the ones on the Congaree River in South Carolina can barely be seen with the naked eye. But, I hate them all.
 
Yeah 18 teams and no divisions is crazy and going to be a mess. I think it's stupidity to not have divisions. I actually would welcome 4 divisions and cut the season short for in league playoffs. Thoughts?
I think we’re going to see puzzle pieces shifting around every couple years via conference expansion until we eventually settle on 36-48 “premier” programs and a 16-team playoff. The B1G and SEC will be the last two standing and yes, current members of those leagues will be shuffled off into the Big 12 and ACC. Top 8 teams in each league make the playoffs and CCG are done away with.

Just my prediction.

How was the show?

Guessing this was a different show he went to, but I saw the Counting Crows a few weeks back on Saturday at the John Deere Classic after golf was over and I must say I was extremely disappointed.

They were probably my favorite band growing up I would say damn near and I was really looking forward to some feel good feels and nostalgia, but they were horrible.

Tried playing a bunch of songs that weren't their hits and then when they did play the hits, they did the whole thing where they had to change up the arrangement and sing it all different and sh*tty.

At least that's what I thought anyways.

Bum deal, not what I would have expected.

Just my 2 cents and full disclosure we didn't stay for their whole set.

But I'll put it this way, we were all waiting for the show to start and we are a little ways away as it being on a golf course and all and this band comes on stage, doesn't say anything into the mic and just starts playing this song we didn't recognize. Adam Duritz now does not look like Adam Duritz then and this "band" started singing and we couldn't figure out if it was Counting Crows or not....then like after the second song, he finally said something to the crowd and they started playing Omaha and it was like "huh.....I guess it is Counting Crows."
 
The mosquitoes in the UP are worse than the mosquitoes in northern Minnesota. We went to Tahquamenon Falls State Park in late June about 10 years ago and they were absolutely horrible. The NP had her hood tight up around her face the entire time and rushed us through the park. No type or amount of bug spray helped. It was a beautiful park though.
 
Was buying the little guy some food/snacks at the grocery store yesterday day and some old like mid 80’s lady comes close by and puts a bunch of stage 1 baby food that comes in a jar into her cart. Is she buying that crap for herself? Didn’t get a look at her face mouth to see if she had any teeth.
Kinda weirded me out.
 
My 12 year old son just got braces this morning. Very exciting.

My no pic wife was a die hard counting crows fan growing up. About 10 years ago she went to a crow show at red rocks with some friends. Came walking in the door about an hour earlier than I expected her to. Said the same thing as you. Most disappointing concert she had ever been to.

I noticed yesterday they were installing charging stations in the local Fareway parking lot. Is that something the company is doing everywhere?
 
I guess he can’t beg for something he doesn’t know about. ……I didn’t even know what it was until you guys mentioned it in this thread.
be careful. you replying to an online forum post mentioning it may get you swept up into their digital marketing campaign.

I had some minor work done to my truck this morning. While I was sitting in the lobby of the shop, an old man walked in and went up to the desk. He said he was there to get his tires rotated, and the guy working told him that they're booked for the day. The old man goes, and I'll paraphrase slightly here, "What do you mean you're booked? I was here on Friday and the guy working told me that today was pretty much wide open so I didn't schedule an appointment."

The guy working told him that they weren't booked last week, but are now. He then asked if the man would like to schedule something for Friday. The old man got pretty agressive, told the guy working that it was "complete bullshit" and then stormed out.

And I just sat there thinking to myself how dumb someone must be to not realize that an auto shop's schedule is going to get more and more full as the week progresses.

I wonder what his HBOT user name is?
 
In the movie "Midnight Run", the train scene filmed in Flagstaff, AZ actually foiled a kidnapping. The kidnappers saw or heard the movie police cars, thought they were real, pushed the kidnappee away and took off.
