Because of Covid, we had our 50th reunion at our 52nd year. We had about 60% turnout of the living classmates. About 20% had passed over the years. While I had been able to make almost all of them (except the 5 yr), and made a lot of the same observations as you. At this one I saw a few...

I'm being nice, ...just comparing notes. Born in '52, I remember the first TV we got when I was about 4. It had a round screen, and of course was B&W (we got color about 10yrs later). We had 3 network channels, and one independent out of Minneapolis, all of which went off the air at about 11pm -...

.....TV? I remember not even having one! ...and I remember my folks talking about having to walk miles to and from school every day, up hill both ways through a foot of snow, and doing chores before going and after getting home each day as well, with no time to play, much less get bored. Fun was...

I recently had a Ryobi 18V cordless drill battery that would no longer take a charge. Just for the fun of it, I took it apart and found it had 6 cells in series inside. I found that all but one had a normal charge, but one with a zero charge. I was able to find some correct size pretty...

Nice Walleye! Hope you had a great shore lunch!:D

Looks kinda like a greenhouse, which might be good in the shoulder seasons when it's a bit chilly, but unless there are some unseen screens, it might be a real solar cooker in the summer season.

Was that with both 100AH Li batteries or just the one in the CI?

Thanks for your sleuthing to find out how they are doing! Glad to hear they survived the pandemic and are doing well.

Sorry to hear Bob & Kathy are no longer awarding the badges. They were a nice couple who we had the pleasure of camping next to at one of the CICO's about 10+ years ago. I knew they were getting older, and hadn't seen any postings from them for quite some time, so wondered if they were still...

...ah, nice. Two great birds of prey executing their skills to gain sustenance while achieving the demise of two creatures very high on my list of obnoxious creatures...squirrels, and crows. We have eagles roost quite regularly in the trees in front of our home, but they seem much more...

...as does our 2013 Outback, and has from the day it was new. Just not enough to meet Subaru's threshold to do anything about it then, while still under warranty, so we just got use to carrying an extra quart of oil all the time.

Sand Hill crane's. We really noticed a substantial increase in their numbers around east central MN over the last few years. They hang around the local airport too, but seem a little smarter than the Canadian geese, who seem to be attracted to the runway a lot more than the cranes. There have...

He appears to be auditioning for the latest Darwin Awards.

I think you'll find that the carbonation will generally be higher in bottled/canned beer than in tap beer, and can be somewhat reduced by pouring the bottled/canned beer into a glass, but will still be higher than a kegged beer poured into a glass. My bachelor neighbor at the airport got into...

Always kind of liked the "From the land of sky blue waters" Hamm's Bear commercials as a kid, but never developed much of a taste for their beer. I prefer a good IPA myself. It didn't start out that way, but back in the 80's when my dad decided to invest in a new start up brewery in St. Paul...

That's too bad, since the COE campgrounds are some of the nicest, and least expensive that we have stayed at using a senior pass. Hate to see such nice facilities go unused during peak season.

:DYour description reminds of when my brother in law set up his Clam Escape for the first time, and somehow got it inside out, and ended up taking about 4 hrs to get it back right side out again. I think it was very close to ending up in the dumpster. It's important to carefully read the...

.....nothing like a neon beer sign glowing in the window to say there's a happy single male living here. ;)

I hope none of those ungodly recorded animal sounds was a pig squealing!:eek:

For a might less than $800, you could get a side tent, and a camp toilet that would fit inside of it on her side of CI for those late night callings.:)
