Let's Talk Turkey

 
This past Sunday there were two pairs of turkeys running around out here in front of Irish Acres.  Two hens running from two toms.

Irish Acres has a visitor on April 22, 2013


Yes, that is snow on April 22nd.  A pair of cardinals stopped by for a visit and were as mystified as me with the weather conditions so late in the spring.

Minneapolis RV and Camping Show

The weekend of February 9th we went to Minneapolis with Kurt and Robin Hopp to the RV and Camping show at the convention center.  We saw a lot of RV's.  There was one that we really liked!  Had to leave it behind due to it's price tag. 

I think that Kurt and Makita are throwing the shocker...with the stopper.  Good grief.  We partied late into the night and security stopped by to "shush" us.

WNF - Hockey in Bemidji

This past weekend the Wednesday Night Fellowship group headed to Bemidji for our annual winter hockey trip.  It was our first hockey trip to Bemidji (usually go to North Dakota).  We liked the shorter drive and we loved the after game party!
 
 
Hey, who brought the gnome?  Or is it a Sleestak?
 
 
 
 
Nick had a boogie in his butt....

Brainerd Jaycee's 2013 Fishing Extravaganza



This past Saturday Josh, Mike and myself headed to Gull lake for the Brainerd Jaycee's Fishing Extravaganza.  The weather started out good (about 20 degrees and little wind).  By the end of the tournament it was in the single digits and 40 mile an hour winds.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr 




 
 
 Mike was an Extravaganza virgin.  Josh was giving him a welcome to the club hug.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We didn't catch anything but had a super good time!

WJJY Gets a New Transmitter

Yesterday Makita had the new transmitter brought up the hill at the Gull Lake for WJJY.  A couple months ago the main transmitter for WJJY died.  They've been running on a backup transmitter since then.  They had a new transmitter built somewhere down south (Texas I believe) and it finally arrived in Brainerd.  It was no easy feat to get it up the hill and into the building (14 hours).  I heard the word  hernia mentioned this morning.

Going on a Field Trip

Tomorrow I get a follow up procedure (colonoscopy) done in Coon Rapids to make sure everything is healing properly.  I feel great and I'm confident they'll find that things are well.
