I have a friend that lives in White Bear Lake he works out of his garage and does a real good job and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I know it may be a long drive but he doesn't screw people ove if interested let me know on here.

Don's Used Outboads in Maple Grove. I put up the # before but it got deleted. Several FM'ers have went there and only have great things to say.

I highly recommend Don over there! He knows his stuff! And he is a super nice guy.

Robbinsdale marine. Very no nonsense. Fixed a 2 stroke there a couple of times when I thought it would be big money and spent under $1.00(yes ONE dollar)once, and under fifteen another time. They will shoot straight with you.

There is a old timer named Wayne that lives up in Brooklyn Park who got laid off from Crystal a few years back. His number is 763-425-4058. I found him by calling Crystal Marine and they referred me to him and I have been happy ever since. He works out of his garage and is pretty cheap. The downfall would be is he sets his own schedule so things might take a little longer (a few extra days) to get fixed.

Is Don pretty busy right now? I called yesterday and left a message but haven't heard back from him? I hate to hound the guy but I'd like to get some things resolved.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
