This is east of Crosslake, MN at our cabin. I tried to watch it yesterday, but couldn't get it to load. Our servers don't compress it like YT does to make it easier to view.

We had to clear the glaciers and drain Lake Agassiz in order to farm in this part of MN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It's getting to the end of this season with the pontoon out of the water,shrink wrapped and at a friends for storage. The wife is packing up stuff out of the motorhome that were taking home. I started loading the truck up little by little and putting things in the shed. I have to load the sxs, winterize the coach on Sunday and start heading home on Monday. It's been a great summer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckf Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 We've been getting ready for winter today. Thanks to the above normal temps this fall the tomatoes have still been producing. We picked the rest and put the small greenhouse away for the winter. I still need to munch up some leaves with the mower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Kivalo Posted November 8, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted November 8, 2021 Fucking Tankerman(assist)! Guy's been on the boat like 6 months now and still can't pump the barge on his own. Nice enough guy but WTF!? I just had to spend 2 hours on deck dragging hose to unfuck his fuckup. All while the owner of the company is chirping on the radio about how I will have to help since the t-man is unsure of himself. I'm the goddamn chief fucking mate, I don't drag goddamn hoses anymore!!! FML. Oh and yeah that's ice in water too because everything is frozen up here! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a lot of time explaining how to use the 4" hose to bypass the 2" pipeline and speed up the flow. Do you think he'd listen to his chief mate who is also a former Tankerman? Nooo of course not! The lead tankerman finally came out for his shift and we switched the lines over. Frustrating! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what a 9 month, 12 hr day, 7 days a week stint in the Bering Sea, brings down. Even if I was 40, I don't think I could do that. For any amount.
