Summer Plans


I went down to the county fairgrounds to get my Coyote Camper out of storage.  Everything checked out  just fine. It's ready to go!
Then I charged the battery on my lawn tractor to get ready for spring lawn clean up.

 The fishing boat got a good vacuuming and the trolling motor was checked out as well.
 
 
I headed up to Rochester and Gander Mountain to replace my leaky waders for trout fishing.  Baseball is also definitely on my mind. 
Perhaps a few more games to be taken in this year as the Twins might be making a comeback with an improved pitching staff.  My little garden seed packages are on immediate standby and it will be a great summer for flower gardening.


Oh just one caution. The way things have been going this so called spring, I’m predicting rain, sleet and snow in a couple of days!!!! Grrrrrrr!

  1. I am so sorry that we got YOUR weather up here in the Pacific Northwest, TB. It's been cloudless skies and warmth for almost two weeks now. I'm ready to trade back! :-)

  2. Summer dreaming is here again. Hope that snow melts soon! I planted some veggies already (cool weather stuff like cabbage, brussel sprouts, lettuce, etc. We have a camping trip reserved for Villa Nueva State Park (along the Pecos River in central NM) for late summer. You've inspired me. I plan to fish!

  5. Don't worry. The snow will eventually go away and the boys of summer can have at it.

  6. I've got my seeds on standby, too. Luckily we've got a beautiful day here up north - I think I'm going to do some yard clean up and we've got ourselves our first home highschool ball game.
    Everyone's fingers are crossed for strong sun to maybe (maybe) clear some ice off lakes for the fishing opener. It doesn't affect us much, but it's a pretty big deal for resort owners & local business.

  7. If you live in Minnesota you must be part dreamer..dreaming of a season that is slow on coming! Looks like you are ready! I am sure the trout streams are unfrozen:)

  10. Goodness gracious, looks like you still got it bad. With weather like that, I guess skeeters aren't a big problem.

  12. Hey, live dangerously! Think positive. You are thinking positively when you list all your expected summer activities.

  13. If it ever gets here, you certainly are ready to hit the ground running. So glad the Twins are doing well. So far, my Marlins have the bottom of Major League Baseball sewed up tight.

  14. Hey, TB! Drive up North, it was in the 60s today and 70s for the next few. No snow in view. I think this may be IT!

    Cheers,

    Jo, Stella and Zkhat

  17. Oh man!!! That Mother Nature is just taking you for a spin isn't she??? I am thinking you should give up baseball and perhaps get into curling... ;)

    Sending you good thought and warm wishes that you get spring soon!

  18. I heard you'd gotten snow. Mother Nature has a wicked sense of humor. I shall spend thawing vibes your way.

  19. You'll be glad for those new waders. Had a cold shock last week then remembered I'm due for a pair--somehow, the leak didn't seem so bad with the 60+ deg waters of last August...
