I have no idea what kind of jam Jan might’ve run into for lingonberries. I just know she hit the mark with the blueberry. After getting jammed up on the question I had to double check on the bread label to see if it came from the same store. The bread was from Great Harvest, not Second Harvest. Second Harvest is the food shelf…. The Great Harvest Bread Company has a location in Waite Park you might want to investigate. Now, back to work with my cup of Reality Roasters coffee. It’s budget season. -

Holy crap, Jan is missing the boat not having Lingonberry Jam for all the Finlanders up dar! 🙄 If she don't know? Lingonberry jam is a Scandinavian staple that originates from the northern regions of Europe, where lingonberries grow in the forests of Sweden, Finland, and Denmark -

Well, a recent bout of fish fever has swept through our area causing work on Friday to be cancelled. My wife said her fever is so bad she had to ice it ASAP. Real time report on the snow and ice conditions expected tomorrow night. -

Without some melting, I hope it blows off. Could get real slick if it just stays dry powder on the ice. -

It was a gift but you can Jams by Jan here: https://www.boundarywaterscatalog.com/jams-by-jan/gunflint-trail-jams-12557 We were definitely wearing cleats. They’re permanent fixtures on our boots right now. There were a few patches of snow and the wind block of the house and truck would make a drift out of the blowing snow so I had something for a little banking. Yes, absolutely very slippery. Even with cleats you have to be careful. A couple times it was difficult to open the truck door. No traction to keep my feet planted. Driving: go slow so you can steer and stop. I had to use The Gripper cleats on my tires to move the house once. Otherwise I had a patch of snow to git er moving. Smurfy, I’ll say I was wearing Yak Trax which are just spiral wrapped wire for gripping. No good edge for better bite. I broke my Ice Trekkers that had carbide studs that had a good bite and balanced profile. We also have the clunky HT cleats that have the steel teeth across the ball of your foot, more or less. Those might even grip better on bare ice than the Yak Trax? But are not comfortable to me and get dull. -

wanderer......when you were on winnie you said no snow on the ice correct??? looks like towards the end of next week the weather looks respectable, but with no snow on the ice traction could be dangerous......especially mid week with noone around. liek to get up there but......... i have cleats but dont think thats an option, especially alone. -
