Getting things ready to load for, the trip to Wadena. Just wondering if any of you gents will be there.
Tom

I don't know that I qualify as a gent, but I'll be there with a few of my kids. Looking forward to it.

Sam, I will be set up in the 4H building-stop in and visit.
Tom

I will do that. You'll have to tolerate a couple rowdy kids, but I'd enjoy chatting with you.

I'm here now along with a few dozen other members helping set up tables and such. The road construction Ina PIA but there are signs up to get you to the gate.

I plan on being up there on Thursday afternoon. Looking forward to it!!

Not sure, it's only 3.5hr away but I've been conventioning quite a bit this year....lol.
Would be a spur of the moment thing.

Friday for sure and possibly Saturday.

For some reason I thought you lived closer to Winnipeg.

Come on down and hang out with the rowdy bunch. Trapper Les will dazzle you

Maybe together we can convince him to come to Lusk

You guys have fun. I sure used to enjoy the conventions and rarely missed one.

So why aren’t you going to this one? After all, it is YOUR state convention. You really should support YOUR state association.

.
Oh Boy!

Sam-my wife isn't well so I won't be able to make it.
Tom

Sorry to hear that Tom. I hope she gets feeling better.

I'm about 30 miles from the border. I zipped down to Lancaster yesterday to pick up a bunch of copies of Hoof Beats Of A Wolfer. The officer at the US crossing asked what I was picking up. Then he asked what I trapped mostly. After that, he asked where the wolves were from. I told him most are probably dual citizens coming up from Minnesota as my lines are pretty close, he smiled and says "see ya"....lol.
The Canadian side dinged me $34 CDN pesos duty.

I don't know the history here, but you should go down anyway. We could look for #44s and fight over em.

$34 duty?

I'd have lied.

Packed and ready to leave in the morning ! Bought groceries yesterday because if our Camp excels at anything it’s stellar meals. Reuben’s, Cheese Steaks , Smoked Brisket , Pulled Pork, Smash Burgers !

Buttermilk French toast, real Maple syrup, About 11 flavors of Bacon and rumor has it this year we get homemade donuts !

Bonus is nobody gets drunk and develops sensitivity issues !

And Trapper Les is bringing a Thesaurus to teach us big words.

I'm stocking up on groceries tomorrow.

Can't hardly beat ruebens with home made kraut.

One of these years spike and I are bringing the smokers and we are going to really live it up.

Les is bringing the Winnipeg rye and his lady friend.

It's worth the trip just to be in the aura of Les's Greek God stature

Tom, sorry to hear about your wife.
