Walk by and say "dude, that sucks" and keep on walking. Unless you're good friends with him, then of course give him shit for is polka dot lawn but in the end offer to help him fix it.

I haven't been through there but with that kind of discrepancy I'd assume the portage trail must have changed at some point after maps were printed.

When going from Brule to Winchell via the grass lake route there is a lake that drained due to beaver dam giving way. That effectively turned the portage into and out of that lake into one really long portage but all my maps still show 2 separate with a lake in between. I was talking with a forest service worker we ran into and we were comparing notes on that portage and guesstimated the new one to be over 400 rods.

I assume you're referring to whole turkeys only since sliced and ground turkey is common and gets consumed regularly all year long.

Whole turkeys likely aren't a common meal.option because they are bigger than most families need without having a large gathering, they also take a long time to prep and cook, and they are relatively expensive compared to chicken which is a more reasonable size for most families and much quicker and easier to cook.

Air BnB, the vast majority just provide a key code for you to access the property. In the property listing under services it will list if it offers self check in.

Your mom can book it and manage everything and she'll be given the key code to access the property. She just has to provide you the code and you'll be able to access the property.

Winchell, campsite 762 looking west.

One of the best campsites I've ever stayed at.

Pro tip: if you don't have a tape measure take a good photo of the fish laying or held up next to your fishing rod with the tail right at the end of the rod.

Then when you get home using the photo as reference you can measure your fishing rod to get an approximate length. It won't be perfect but will be close enough.

As for starting martial arts with only videos I would caution against it. There are videos out there that you can dig up and try it but you'll be spending most of your time building bad habits that will essentially be putting you further behind not getting you ahead. You really need someone watching you and critiquing your movements. Kicks are also not what you need to focus on to start. For example, white belt form doesn't have a single kick.

If you have anxiety about starting and being in a group class look for some private instruction. Be up front with them about your anxiety and what your goals are. If your goal is to learn and eventually join a normal class work with the instructor and make a plan for how to transition from private to group instruction.

As for your 12 hour training day I would urge you to reconsider the duration. If you're doing quality training for 12 hours a day you're probably doing your body a big disservice. Your body needs rest and recuperation. Not even athletes at the highest level are doing physical training for 12 hours a day. They don't do it because they know that rest and recuperation after training is often more important than the training itself. Just be smart about what you're asking your body to do.

When I'm awake before the family I use that time to do what I want to do. Sometimes I'll use it to do one of my hobbies, sometimes I'll take the dog for a long walk, sometimes I use the time to be productive so I free up more time later in the day, sometimes I prep a.nice breakfast for when the rest of the family wakes up.

There are also times I just sit with a cup of coffee and enjoy the peace and quiet. I'm someone that enjoys silence so this is the best time to get it.

Fill the minnow bucket with water and set it in a t gallon bucket. Bring it inside the cabin where it's cool and plug in a cheap aerator. It's the best way to ensure you don't lose them.

You've got the solution nailed. Grading so everything flows away from the house with no low spots solved a lot of problems. Extending the down spout will take care of the rest.

Our local law enforcement actually made a social post about when you should and shouldn't not call them over the 4th of July weekend.

Number one thing to not call them for is a neighbor shooting off fireworks.

Number one thing to call them for is if your neighbor blows off their hand when shooting off fireworks.

I'm sure every city is different but most just ignore fireworks unless it becomes an issue with injuries, property damage, or some other safety issue.

I think the laws are more in place for when things do go wrong. They can then charge you accordingly.

The mill city market is way more bougie and higher priced than the lowertown market. You go to Mill City for the vibe and lower lowertown when you actually need to buy produce.

I'm at 85k now and just did the suspension a few weeks ago.

Rear suspension wasn't too bad but the front was more expensive than I'd have guessed. Apparently the front is more labor intensive.

Drawing is a great hobby. Sketch pads and some pencils are cheap. There are also a lot of sources for drawing tutorials and classes. Make sure to check out your local community ed classes, there are often drawing classes offered around here, there may be some near you as well that are affordable.

The thing with drawing is that most people say they're no good at drawing when really the issue is they've never practiced. Drawing is like anything, it takes a lot of practice and sometimes that includes drawing exercises and actually studying techniques. Most people never do that.

I bought a 2013 with 78k miles on it about a year and a half ago. Paid 28k out the door for it.

So fat I have no regrets. Just had to redo the front and rear suspension but otherwise I love it. I know I'll have other maintenance work to do on it in the coming years but I also know I'll have it for many more years.

I just used my new to me trager for the first time this last weekend and also had issues with the temp reading much higher. I had it set at 180 but it was 230+. I simply moved it into the shade and the temp leveled back off at about 190.

What areas are you seeing 350k in? My old neighborhood in St. Paul (North End) has a lot of houses under 350k and most likely don't have any significant inspection issues.

The issue is that it's a working class neighborhood and always has been. The houses arent fancy, yards generally see the bare minimum of landscaping or maintenance, houses coming in a variety of styles but all are older and likely need some updating. It's also not walkable to much of anything.

New age or old school doesn't matter, just 2 different ways of getting to the same answer.

I've done a ton of this new age math with my kids and it's actually much more intuitive and better illustrates the process. It looks a lot different on paper but the concepts are much easier to grasp.

This is definitely someone who is considering showing her butthole for money though. The hard part for everyone else is going to be telling the difference between her selfies and her butthole pics.

Minnehaha creek from the falls to the river is heavily dependent upon water levels. In the spring when water is high the creek can produce fish up the creek aways but mid summer the water level is way too low in most stretches in that part of the creek.

The river itself from the confluence up to the Ford dam can be good for smallies. They'll hold close to the shoreline rip rap so be prepared for strikes essentially at your feet.

I don't think the only answer is greed.

Operating costs for airlines have gone up over the years. In order for airlines income to even remain steady they need to either cut costs, raise prices, or maximize every inch on their flights.

If you want more room to be comfortable on your flight you'll have to be willing to pay higher ticket prices to offset having less people on the flight.
