During these changing times due to the pandemic and economic issues...
Can you help others here by letting us know....
What are you grateful for?
It would be great if we could see what you are appreciative of everyday. Kind of a community journal.
For inspiration and a time to reflect on the wonderful things that surround us during changing times.

Well, with the extra time we have on our hands, I decided to do a little spring cleaning. I have 3 Antler mounts I don't plan to use anymore, I switched to the boil method. I will sell these for $20 or b/o each. $50 takes all 3.

Found a tackle box up on Lake Osakis this morning. It wasn't in any of the community spots or I wouldn't of found it with amount of guys up there. LOL! Wow you would think the Caughren point area was the only place to catch and sight fish.They should of been there a week and a half ago when we found them fresh 😲 Glad I have better spots where social or should I say solo distancing was happening 😉 If anyone lost one out there off the beaten path I found it feel free to PM me with the contents and Ill get it back to you somehow. If nobody claims it I'll donate it to a kid (and No not you Smurfey 😂) to get him a good start into ice fishing some good stuff in there!

Here is something we may not of touched yet . What with the access being shut down on the Rainy river how do we know the opener won't be either shutdown or pushed back? Any rumors or first hand knowledge out there? Another question what with the current shelter in place regs how will this effect all Minnesota's resorts and campgrounds? Food for thought my friends.

Just a heads up to all out walking especially people with dogs. The ticks are out. I've been out shed hunting a lot and scouting for turkeys in the woods lately with my beloved dogs. Pulled off some deer ticks last few outings off both my labs. Time to introduce some preventive tick procedures now if venturing out. For my labs I use Frontline but some other options are Bravecto, Seresto, and at the least a flea tick color. For myself I use a product I swear by I always spray down with Permethrin before venturing out in the woods swamps or fields. I have had great results with this product. Hasn't let me down once! Lyme disease is nothing to take light of as many people and dogs get infected every year.

Well as we are facing some crazy times and going into some uncertain times ahead. Stress and anxiety will be at a all time hi. Tension amongst family and friends might be tested to a all time peak. Just wanted everyone to try as best as possible to stay positive optimistic through the whole scenario We will all get through this, maybe in the end it will open all are eyes up to certain ways we live act treat each other . Lets all keep our heads up Positivity is key to better health and a better life. Lets try to help out wherever we can to help our community's and friends neighbors and loved ones. Lets Try not to show the fear we all feel and face in these unsettled times. The younger ones especially are kids are looking up to us. Lets all act like positive role models and do our parts to try and get things back on track for everyones sake. Many will be seeing some free time ahead with job layoffs business closings etc. Lets turn those bad situations into good positive ones. Volunteer help a elderly person neighbor donate to food shelves, etc.
Lastly we are all family here even though some of us have our differences at times 😉 LOL FM has always been a safe place our second home where we all feel comfortable a safe place sort to speak. We all come log in and will especially in these hard times ahead. Lets get some good topics flowing to ease all our minds. I want to add if anyone ever needs anything I mean anything shoot me a PM Ill do whatever I can to help any way possible. If you need to talk release some stress get some things off your chest or just feel some normalcy in your life in these strange times holler. PM me and Ill get my number out there to you. We are all in this together no matter our views and opinion. STAY SAFE STAND STRONG MY FRIENDS AND BE HAPPY 😀😀😀

Ok TW and thanks for the reply . . I tried earlier to send you a pm about that book but it was a no go , not sure why but when I tried to send it to you it wouldn’t go through , very well could have been my lack of knowledge on doing such and who knows what I did with those buttons , because I seem to be good at pushing other buttons on this site , haaaa ,so I’ve been told , but F that .. It did bum me out though that it didn’t go through because it was quite lengthy and chock full of fun music trivia on my days with music and I had intentions on getting you my personal pics at a later time with many , many different music n geee tarrr pickers , above (j fogerty) (my opinion ) or at , or near the level of the All American Boy . As to him and your pick of him I do understand as he is a guitar god . Maybe you could PM me with a play by play dummy set of instructions on how actually get u a Pm from me.... smiles , and thanks TW. -

I realize everyone will be antsy by opener and understandable. But agree why travel to a different area to fish and risk being infected or infecting someone else. Don't blame certain locations not wanting people coming up by them. Lets all look at this as a perfect time to learn and fish some of the waters in our backyards. We all have good waters close to us why not take advantage of them. You might srike paydirt and will start fishing closer to your house more often I know I have! I've never been a big fan of traveling to all the big waters on opener especially N. Water temps have always dictated where I open. 9 out 10 times I open in my back yard on chain or a surrounding small lake or around the Atwater area. Lets all be considerate and see where this all goes before making our plans. Safety and Health first pleasure second should be our thought process right now. -

My Health and Family!! As a Kidney cancer survivor I cherish everyday being able to walk this fine earth we live on there was a time I wasn't sure I was going to be able to. The appreciation I have for the small things in life now are unimaginable. You soon learn the importance of the material things in your life and that is zilch. I will tell you from experience It doesn't matter how much money you have or if you own the biggest house, boat etc. The only thing that really matters is your Family, your friends and the most important the Good Lord. My family has always been the most important thing in my life. MY wife and my two daughters are the rocks that get me through the tough times. And give me a purpose in life. Without them my purpose in life would be cut in half. My wife has always been a big supporter of my hobbies as she knows the love and passion I have for the great outdoors fishing and hunting and I love her for that! My daughters they are getting older 22 and 17 but still aren't to old to hang out and reminisce with there old dad every once in a while. The three of them are my best 3 catches to date!!! 😀Lastly all my friends they are always there to share moments, laughs, good times and are always willing to open a ear and listen offer advise when something is bothering me thanks guys! -

I'm grateful for my health. Lotta people don't have it right now and a whole lot more are going to lose it. My deceased grandfather once told me "if you don't have your health, you don't have much" before he died of cancer years ago. -

Well stated Rick! I am grateful for Skype! My wife and I had a 3 hour virtual happy hour with are oldest daughter in Madison Wisc. getting her Phd, and our baby and son-in-law down in Iowa. It was great to be able to see them while we are going through this. Not the same as having them home but it was still pretty cool! -

I’ve heard a few “Destination” communities have asked people not to come until the situation has settled down. The reasoning being the interaction that might take place using services and depletion of some of their limited resources (think a rush on paper products not easily attainable in urban areas). Some also feel bringing the virus and infecting small communities would be too much for local health care to handle. I can’t argue any of that. What most people that still plan to travel are stating, just like right here, staying self contained shouldn’t be an issue. I can’t argue that either. I work in a hospital so I see the latest information and many, many different opinions. Some of mine have changed from even a week ago. We can all get through this with LOW risk as long as we think about what we’re doing and be considerate of others while doing it. There is no such thing as NO risk. -

Can we rockin' roll hoochie coo the walleye this spring? Fantastic pictures Tommy. Where were they taken? I plan to fish opener unless it is illegal. Except for touching a gas pump somewhere, I can get in and out without floating a germ to anyone. A doctor buddy already said he was out, and asked that we sew face masks instead of play cards at night. It's an interesting time that we are in. Enjoy the strange ride and stay safe. -

I'm grateful for the chance to spend time with my youngest. She was on her way to being a Senior at UMD. She has a year round job there and it's 3 hours away. She was well on her way to living an independent life and my time with her limited to phone calls and the occasional visits. I may never have had this opportunity again. Now I have the privilege and joy of building a different kind of relationship with my adult baby. More as a friend than a Dad. -
