What, no standing in the freezing water putting your own dock in?

Good morning everyone,
I did that in Bemidji when I was in college. The barge they use now makes it go much quicker.
While it got to 73 yesterday, they've now taken the 70s out of the forecast for this week. They're still saying rain starting Tuesday. Good, we really need it.

Hey Doc, nice to see you. Hope it’s not too warm down there where you are. WRINC, Hey if you don’t have to do it yourself that’s a plus. None of us are 20 anymore. How do they do it with a barge? Boy do we ever need the rain. Not a downpour but just a nice steady rain. At least that last snow was real wet. I went to the meat market out in No Oaks today to get some kebabs. I used to house sit for a friend who lived there years ago. I can’t believe how much that area has changed…there used to be only 3 stores there, a little grocery store, a bird food store and a liquor store. Now there’s a whole strip mall and the access from the frontage road by the main entrance to No Oaks is no longer.

Good morning everyone,
Happy hour with some neighbors up for a short trip yesterday, Farkel with the AZ friends last night. Finished the garage project yesterday, so the tractor is ready to be serviced and converted to a lawn tractor. I'll call them later this morning.
There's room in the garage for the ATV, when it starts. I put the charger on slow overnight.

Good morning everyone,
Well, the ATV still wouldn't start. I'll check the outlet into which the charger is plugged.
We're supposed to go to Fargo today for some shopping. We're also supposed to get some heavy rain. I wouldn't mind postponing the shopping until tomorrow.

Hi Doc, 70 sounds nice. We’re getting a bunch of much needed rain today and possibly tomorrow. WR-Inc, My car is in the shop for an oil change. They found another small issue that they will be fixing but won’t get to it until tomorrow. I don’t mind a bit. Didn’t actually want to ask my neighbor to drive me up to the station in all this rain. Sometimes if the battery is completely dead, it won’t take a charge. I learned that the hard way.

Good morning everyone,
The outlet is good, so I put a different charger on it. It says it's charging, so I'll check it in a bit.
Gotta go to the store today. Yesterday's Fargo trip was to Costco, Happy Harry's (liquor store), and JC Penny's.

Good morning everyone,
Well, the ATV is charged but still won't start. I'll wait for one of the mechanically minded neighbors to return.

Well, at least you have a couple of days before it gets warm again. Are you up there all the time now? Hell Docputer, Send some warmer air up here please.

Good morning everyone,
Yes, dirtgirl, we're living the dream up here. My attitude can vary during the Winter.

WR-Inc, We’ll at least all your hard work paid off. Glad you’re living the dream. Someday I will too…I just have to figure out what my dream is.

Good morning everyone,
Well, your retirement dream shouldn't be not to work. That dream leads to failure.
If the ATV doesn't start today, I'll take the battery out and replace it.

Well, my ATB (Ancient Tired Butt) wouldn't start today, so I missed you wonderful pipples.
Sorry 'bout that.
I'll try to do better...
