Ok, so it just won't warm up and stop raining for more than a couple of days. Where is all this global warming we keep hearing about?? It's almost enough to make an otherwise happy-go-lucky grunt a little grumpy! :confused:
Does anyone out there have decent weather? Maybe even nice weather? Please let me know that it's still possible!!
I don't care if you're in the Twin Cities, IL, WI, IA...or even Phoenix or Las Vegas. How about my buddies from Southern California? Maybe the big guy from New Mexico is having some sunshine and pleasant temperatures?
The forecast is for sunshine and close to normal for the coming weekend so we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope!!
The good news is..if you're up here and you're a good card player..you're probably doing well in that department.
Anyone coming this way is asked to PLEASE bring the sunshine along.
Thank you.

Thanks for the compliment on the website. I'm still working on adding some fish pictures from last year, more cabin photos and some other links of interest people might find useful so check it out once in awhile and see how many typos I've made since the last visit. HA!
We have the big muskies on the run up here so come on up help us get the cornered. The trick is trying to find time for a poker game that doesn't interfere with muskie fishing. :confused: I think the fall is better for that since we don't troll much after dark, but then we're ready for bed after something to eat and a beverage so that doesn't work either.
You having any good weather where you are? They are still saying Friday for some good stuff up here. I HOPE, I HOPE, I HOPE!

Could be worse. Could be getting the winds like we got last year. How soon they forget. I remember one weekend in July that I only got out for two hours on the day I arrived, after driving all day. The next two days we sat in the cabin, after attempting to go out once and coming back with my tail between my legs and Justin knows I don't scare easilly on the water. I think we finally got out on day three. However, after the first two days, I needed to sign up with AA and Gamblers Anonymous. Man, I hate going to meetings.

Hey Eastie,
Was that rough weekend last year in July? If so, then yes, how soon we forget.
If you want to avoid those meetings next time it gets windy, I can come and confiscate jugs and bring a few board games from our selection of family friendly offerings we keep in the office. HA!! I'll return the jugs when the wind gets down below 15 knots. :D
Oh, by the way..I actually found YOUR (name and all) dock bumpers hanging on a different wall in the garage on Friday night. You can bring those other ones back and we'll exchange them for free, eh. :cool:

Confiscate jugs? Now that's not very family friendly. The cleanlines of your cabins and resort property are what family fiendly is all about. Not confiscating man's perfectly good libation.
Anyway, I won't need any sort of plaque at the resort when I pass, 50 years from now. I'm sure that I'll have something left behind up at Mylie's. I think it is a deeply rooted cry for more time on Sabaskong Bay.

The confiscation program wouldn't be cloak and dagger by any means. I think it would have to be like those programs at the casino where your put yourself on the list and ask them not to let you in if they see you coming.
You would just register your cabin number for the program and then I would come over when the wind got over 20 knots. Then we would have a little chat "Dog the Bounty Hunter" style and you could come and bail your jugs out when the wind goes down.
I think it might really have a chance to do some good, especially this year with the store in Morson shut down and the long trip to Rainy River to reload. HA!
We all need more time on Sabaskong Bay, Eastie. I'll toast to that. When the wind is below 15 knots, of course!

Justine Remember the snow storm when you were (down South) in Wisconsin? That ought to make you feel better. releaser

Oh yes, I remember. That was a dandy storm indeed. There is nothing like driving in a city you have never been when there is heavy wet snow, near zero visibility and it's windy. YIKES! We almost needed a snow plow to get back to the trucks after we went into fleet farm for 10 minutes.
I was impressed with the city and state workers though. They could work on any crew up here in Canada. The roads were taken care of and good for traveling the next day by 10-11 am.
It's kind of too bad the blizzard wasn't the night before. I might have been the only one there trying to bid on the 3020. It worked out well though so I won't complain. Although I think next time I'm there I'm definitely gonna put away one of those 30 ounce steaks and get my picture on the wall of the steakhouse in Eau Claire! :D

It is not the size of the steak that gets you its the salad potatos and drinks that go with it. I have to be there to see it. I will stick with my little 16 oz .

Have to eat the steak first, have water when needed and then tackle the tater for dessert. No beer, peanuts or bloomin onions to start this time. HA!
We'll make a reservation so we can just walk right in again.
No waiting for us!
