randy m, welcome to BOTL. It sounds like Minnesota is a great place to be FROM! Now that you are retired, buy an rv and spend the winter in the south like Az or Fl. Then you can play more golf and smoke more cigars! Take care and keep us posted.
I think the first cut will be this weekend. It's been awfully dry here, but the temps have finally climbed into the high 60's and low 70'sHI and welcome! I'm from the Twin Cities as well, currently living in Ohio (military).
Have you had to cut the lawn yet? It's been spring here for some time now. It's funny how much different the seasons come between here and back home!
Welcome to BOTL Randy....
I just moved from Northern MN, U r right about unfriendly, to SC very tobacco friendly, I feel your pain on the Taxes, I was up in Grand Rapids, we only had one B&M and the cost was to high.........Good luck and welcome Bro
