If there is tannerite, do we need to bring hard hats? I'm off chasing walleye now on Lake Winnipeg, where it is barely above freezing. Looking forward to getting warm. And meeting all of you ahem characters!

I don't have all of the classy guns that some of you have, and am worried that I will be drooling over some of them, especially some of the blondes, so bring plenty of moisture displacing oils. Plan to bring a shotgun for sport, a rim fire and an air rifle for plinking, and then a few rifles that I get time to make ammo for and get the sighted in to minute of pig.

Also busy making some of Minnesota's finest "stuff in jars". Do they serve pancakes or French toast at the ranch? If so I might be able to find some maple syrup, the real stuff. Should be collecting sap right now, but there is a higher calling!
