I feel close to anyone who mentions the Decorah eagles in their obit. :-*

kb - I figured you would get into the top 10 this weekend.
Not exactly a club you wanted to join but what are you going to do.   :-*

You get a T-Shirt .. "MSP Top 10 Shoveler 2022-2023" and a voucher to a chiropractor.   :P   ::)    ;)
They have them down at the borough hall .. unfortunately they are closed until May 15th due to the roof collapse.   ;D

Also why I step onto our porch to get our mail while barefoot... often in the snow.  :D   We build 'em strong up here. Does not mean we can't complain about excess once in a while. LOL

kb you know what 'they' say if you cant beat um' join um'.
~ She's going to have her way with us no matter what we do ~

I've absolutely been in your Yak Trax before.
By mid March you have to just throw your hands up in the air and say Uncle and get Cabin Fever silly with it all.

In time know you and Chris will just laugh and fondly remember the Winter of 23'.

And since you made it into the top ten you might as well aim for the top 5.
Think about it if you take away the 1916-1917 Winter you only need about 5 or 6 more inches for the rest of this season.
Might as well have some fun with it .. ay'.  :)

Borough Hall will just have to reprint all of the T-shirts to top 5 at the tax payers expense of course.  ;)  ::)
And as Scott would appreciate, smiling looking down saying you go/went Girl, all of the chiropractic vouchers will have gone to the DPW folks by 05/15/23.

LISA   That picture is priceless and needs to be published with some  appropriate comment  LOLOLOL  If looks could kill  lol   Misty sure looks like she owns the place  ;D ;D ;D

T40    There are a lot of silent Decorah eagle watchers out there.  Would have enjoyed meeting Linda  :)  Some interesting choices in the top 10.

KB   I think you need an award as well.  Get after that mayor!  ;D

BL   " voucher to a chiropractor"  LOLOL  Good one. ;D

TIG   Nice long life for Bud you have to admit. RIP

Lani, are you hiding in the garage? Yikes! Sorry they had a bad day on the court today. On to their Number 1 seed in the NCAA Tourney, nonetheless!!

Lisa, awww... Misty.  And (((Bandit)))  But, LOLOL on your picture of the two of them this morning!!  :-*

BL:) :) You are on a roll tonight!...

https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/mn/minneapolis/55474

Just noticed we might hit that top 5 by the end of next week ;D ;D ;D

Yes, I was just thinking about Scott earlier: It's true he is with me and laughing...He's not just in my imagination, nor my heart.....He's really with me...something like that anyway.....hard to describe.

Chris just said from now on we should just not shovel....let it pile up ya know....and maybe we won't have summer at all this year so what the hey..

My new thought though is at some point to use a big ol tarp...stand on the piles and throw it on it, and then drag the snow to the yard and gardens....so at least I'm a thinkin

Kb sorry I missed your  DST reminder. And, well deserved  snow shoveling award for you  ;)    Very nice photo of Bud and Carl, tks for posting

{{{Tsk}}}  hopefully  tomorrow will be better for you

Lisa   No you can't take all of t hem into  your home. your 'B & Bs' are a great idea.  Such a funny photo of Bandit/Misty---as I said, he'll warm up.

Tig  I didn't follow the same sports as some Beakers---all the same   RIP Bud Grant

Hi Eagles!  I hope you and Chris had a nice flight home. And, there are no 'surprizes'  waiting for  you at home.  I've missed you in Beakroom.
Looking forward to your photos ---when you're ready to post them.
