Well, I've made other plans as well. In the interim, I'm going flyfishing down in New Mexico (not much snow down there, ever). There is a workaround, it seems, for just about everything. Sorry to hear about all the challenges in North Dakota (& elsewhere). Farming always seems to be feast or famine, but you never hear about the feasts.

Lloyd,
A friend has a cabin in he Detroit Lakes area, 20” of ice left on the lake, as of today.
Spring is late. Last year, the lake was ice free the first week of April.
Don’t be in a hurry to get back.
Best,
Ted

Ted:
I've just notified all the denizens of "The Popple Palace" of my change in plans. Looking like late May now, or even early June. Surely the weather gods will allow for all the fun outdoorsy stuff by then? I also just picked up a little part-time job at a local gun club Friday. so that is yet another complication to my schedule for the Summer. All good though....making a little "pin" money to allow for additional silliness to be contemplated. Who cares what gas or shells cost now, eh?

Chris is working the gun club. At age 15, they begged him to work, and will allow for his school sports. He comes home with cash tips almost every day, a typical weekend nets $100, before wages, or so, thus far. Good that you guys have something in common, besides me, anyway.
Late May should be good. You might not be doing any swimming.
Best,
Ted

Working at a gun club sounds a lot better than being a caddy at the Elks for fifty cents to two bucks a round. Then again the Elks did have a pool with girls around it in yellow polka dot bikinis, you know those ittsy bitty, tinny weenie yellow……..

I was a lifeguard at a little lake and resort in Western Pennsylvania all through highschool and collage. The pay was miniscule but the scenery (& other distractions) was worth every penny that I wasn't making. It's funny how your priorities change with time, isn't it? The extracurricular stuff doesn't seem to mean much these days....
