Quoted from pinwiztom:How long was the climb
Both in length and time to the top
We did it as a two day hike/climb.
Day 1 - hike ~7miles, 5k feet of elevation gain. About 4.5 hours.
Day 2 - hiking/climbing, less than 2 miles, between 3-4 hours to the top including idling midway for about an hour due to rain, sleet and lightning), 2k feet of elevation gain. Day 2 descent - return to camp and then to the trailhead (another 6 hours).
Very nice rad! Here is some contrast from this morning's bike ride...

They recently raised the deck 64 feet on this bridge and added a nice bike path.

Quoted from hwyhed:Brakes were on, waiting to turn left off the highway n noticed this..
Did you get a free estimate?
Quoted from Slugmeister:I believe that's a carp.Toss it some popcorn.
I think you're right, looks like it only has the one set of small whiskers. Will get some popcorn ready in case he comes back.

Saw that pic and i'm saying...bullshit that's a carp. Glad i'm not the only one. .22 when they are in the shallow water like that.
Quoted from LTG:Koi - big goldfish.

Yup, they escape people's koi ponds when we flood. I hear some are quite valuable.

It has to be exciting watching an eagle swoop down and fly off with your valuable fish.

You know that picture wasn’t taken in the Mississippi or it would look like this:

A hawk did get the one we called "White Dot". I missed it but my wife and kids got to watch. Could barely lift it out of the water. Then a great blue heron came along and tried to get in on the action. Apparently there was a bit of a squabble and the hawk won out. Wife also saw an eagle catch a smaller unnamed fish. I yet to anything good like that. 
Our cat Marvin displayed quite a lack of situational awareness a few days ago. Not pictured is the robin that caused him to run into the yard in the first place.
As can be seen from the laid back ears and how far he hunkered into the grass, he was not happy with how close the deer got. The deer lost interest and left after a little bit, so we didn't need to intervene.
The following day I walked outside to see this.

We had a cabin on Lake Manitoba when I was a kid. Caught a lot of catfish. Never cared for the flavor. Also those whiskers creeped me out
Quoted from dirkdiggler:We had a cabin on Lake Manitoba when I was a kid. Caught a lot of catfish. Never cared for the flavor.
That place I like to go on vacation to fish that is about all we have been catching.
50 fish a day average, with maybe 2 stingrays, a couple of snappers and other fish, but mostly just one catfish after another.
My girlfriend wanted me to start marking them, just to see if we were catching the same ones over and over.

Quoted from Dee-Bow:What location is Matt those out at!? Or did he sell them?
He has a booth at the Saskatoon Ex fair in a couple weeks. He's on his way back from yegpin so stopping by right away for them.

Quoted from dirkdiggler:The wife picked away this afternoon. 11 lbs of fresh Saskatoons. Picked the same amount yesterday.
[quoted image]
Thats interesting. I've never even heard about Saskatoons before. After google/wikipedia about it I just understood that its considered a invasive species in Sweden/Norway. Apparently spread via bird droppings.
So, how does it taste? You use it for wild game jelly or is it for like pancakes/etc?

It's similar to a blueberry but a bit bitter. Saskatoon pies are super popular. Wife stews them down and adds some white sugar and lemon. Also rhubarb pairs well with them.
She likes to add a spoonful to her cereal or porridge. We also infuse the berries and sugar into vodka with them for flavored shots
