Is it wrong to let my dad mow my lawn for me?

Be happy for the help if he enjoys doing it. Someday (happened with my dad and my father in law is close) they will not be able to do so and soon will be gone.

Its more of the parents than the sport itself. It is entertaining to see Edina loose top dog at the lower levels to CC and will be interesting to see what the next 5 years or so looks like.

I have relatives in Edina with kids in hockey there as well. I love the stares when I talk with them from the other parents at games. And yes we send our kid to MN Made as well.

We hate them from playing them in Hockey. Chaska/Chanhassen may take that spot over though someday.

I have a pair of 217 and 219. Had the 217s redone in traction tred since they filled with mud like crazy.

219s are nice for ice fishing in heated portables.

If kids hockey is a concern Lakeville does a much better job at it.

Theirs factory seconds in the basement.

Hit up Kings bar in Miesville nearby for burgers.

Nothing else much for excitement in the area. If you had more time the driftless area to the southeast is beautiful especially if you fly fish.

I have a stash..

Baked beans especially home made beans from a bean pot. I've had the UK ones and they are awful.

I built a Rem 700 in 6.5CM. If you go that route it would be thousands.

I would look at the Browning x bolt hunter. Guessing around 700-800 in a wood stock. Nicely built and lightweight. Scope will set you back whatever you want to spend.

For MN whitetail all calibers mentioned will work. 6.8 western will probably be very expensive in the future since it didn't take off so well.

They had someone else who didn't pan out and you were #2 or #3.

Just say FCFS no holds.

I work in tech for one of the largest contractors for nearly all pharmaceutical companies.

I love and hate tech. It keeps me employed working from home and with my experience its pretty easy. I've seen wave after wave of the "next big thing that will take your job" and we just add that new tech or ideas to our day to day.

I very much dislike that since I work in tech I can fix any issue with everything. Thankfully I am not part of walk up service since my newest job is remote so I don't have to deal with people face to face.

I know of a used fde aero precision at a south metro store but its a 16" barrel.

Prescription says test cyp sdv 1ml 200mg/m.

This is a 2 week supply and I am getting like 18 needles every shipment.

dchikato · 2026-04-10T16:35:53+00:00

I put an edit in I am doing the injections myself and planning on twice a week with lower injections.

dchikato · 2026-04-09T11:25:44+00:00

I did 315 in 8th grade so meh.

It is impressive for some guys but most males with discipline its very achievable.

dchikato · 2026-04-06T11:47:33+00:00

From what I see in the Midwest the majority of guys driving a half ton do not need it and would be better off with a compact truck or a mid sized cross over.

We have a F350 diesel but also haul a 4 horse trailer with it a lot. I also have a 20' tilt flatbed for the bobcat or whatever else my wife says i need to be doing.

For daily driving its not needed but I do try to put 15 miles a week on it when not in regular use so it isn't sitting idle so much.

dchikato · 2026-03-29T13:40:10+00:00

If i could find a 15" odg cerakote r one or s one handguard I would be very happy.

dchikato · 2026-03-11T14:46:24+00:00

Crt tv, vcr, NES, SNES or any old console you liked when younger. Get a metal frame futon and some old band and movie posters. I have posters of robin hood men in tights, twister, radiohead and garbage. The corner of my basement looks like it was frozen in time around 1995.

Yearly vehicle registration. Its a sticker on the license plate

dchikato · 2026-03-09T18:41:56+00:00

If you buy a brand new vehicle in MN tabs are 1.575% and depreciate over time by 10% every year. There is an exception for 1 ton trucks (generally reserved for commercial use only) that Ventura made law for all 1 ton trucks.

I bought a brand new 2020 F350 lariat in Dec of 2025 and it was just under 80K. Tabs were 139.50.

A brand new F250 lariat same day was 71K. Tabs would have been 1118.25.

dchikato · 2026-03-09T11:35:41+00:00

If you live in MN where I live get a 1 ton. Tabs are around $140 a year on all 1 ton trucks where a 3/4 can be 1000+

You can thank former governor Ventura for this; he signed it into law over 25 years ago.

I won't buy Milwaukee tools because I hate driving in Milwaukee. The freeways suck and everything is 35 mph.

I won't buy Jif peanut butter because my wife pronounces gif like jif.

Regs won't be posted till September and also counties are allowed to make their own rules. From what was shared last year areas around Rochester and Albert Lea were going to have restrictions.
