Being I'm a Libertarian of the attitude let the guy horde his guns, let the gay couple adopt a kid, just leave others alone, etc, etc. Heck I have a cousins that's 6-4 and large Adams apple and has been a she for over 30 yrs now.

20" of solid ice on Tonka and Waconia.
Last week I was thinking April 24th. Now thinking May 1 with this weather pattern.

Tonka and Waconia still have 20" of solid ice for ice fishing. Shoreline is sketchy though, need to pick your spot to cross from land to good ice. I'm still walking out in wetlands doing MHN and WDB maintenance as I've had a hell of a bad cold for 2.5 weeks now. Lost 4 nice weather days above 3...

Still plenty of solid 20" of ice on Minnetonka to walk out fishing.

Yeah Putin is that big of a narcissistic ps...

13 and 4 in 2022 is a pretty damned good season for most fans.

The way Putin is going, none of us may be alive for the 2024 season, maybe even the 2023 season.

I'm not getting old. I am old. :/
Some of you, wait until you are in your 60s. Handfuls of pills twice a day now.

Canada has not fared well this winter to recharge the moisture. A few parts of AB and SK has gotten better, but parts of AB & SK, and all of prairie MB (the duck factory) have gotten worse. Bottom line is they have not gotten the big snows this winter to help reverse the widespread drought. This...

US 4 months ago and current.
The Dakota's are hurting pretty good yet.
Hopefully there is a widespread blizzard with 2+" of precip to help the ducks out.
