Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #182: Snow!

HHT x 2 for me. BU swept Maine over the weekend and tonight I was at the Denver-UM Duluth game. Denver won, which was nice and also good for BU (I think).

They were sampling salmon at the game. Fish. Yeah....no.

I've just finished building the "next season has to be better hockey table" because I'm just done with this season, mike eaves, but most of all the UW fan base.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #182: Snow!

/saddles back up to the *HT. Ugh.

Also looks like I've gotta start looking for a new laptop. Charging jack seems to be on its way out. Must resist the urge to get ALL the features.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #182: Snow!

Welp, I'm gonna be up awhile. Just had a (preliminary) 6.4 earthquake here. Not normally fazed by earthquakes but that one was easily the strongest I've ever felt. Had my apartment building swaying. Lasted long enough it triggered that "oh * is this the Big One?" fear.
 
Good to hear that you are OK.
Yeah, I'm doing good. Spooked but good. Like I said, never felt one that big, got kinda scary.

If Facebook is anything to go by half of Alaska is awake right now. At 2:45 am.

Everything seems to be ok. Police and Fire say no reports of major damage. Tsunami Warning Center says everything is clear and no tsunami danger (big sigh of relief there). Some places without power and some stuff knocked off shelves is about it.

My daughter of course has slept through the whole thing. :)

Mine is struggling. Don't want to go thru the change. Hanging on as long as possible

JFC, USGS now reporting a 7.1!
:eek: we had a 2.1 that felt unsettling. I can't imagine that. Yikes.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #182: Snow!

Watched the Bizarre Foods episode about the Minnesota State Fair this morning. Let me tell you, tHubs and I will be headed out that way in the next few years for a several day eating festival.

ETA - Good to hear you are okay, JJA!
Les - tHubs and I were talking about that earthquake - I was on the couch and he was cooking and I was terrified. Several hours to be not shaken, I can't imagine my reaction to anything stronger. We take for granted the stability of the ground beneath our feet out here.

What foods were they showing?

Oh, the food comas you will have!

Good afternoon, Lodge. Had an awesome time yesterday. All the food was excellent, as was the beer. Even won 1 lb bacon and 1lb of beef sticks at a meat raffle! That was a nice bonus.

Helluva time at Johnny Holm show, got to sing with the band a little during "Shipping Up To Boston." :D Of course, today my voice is shot, but oh well.

2.1? :p Although in an area where you almost never have any I can understand that.

To give an idea of what it's like, moderately powerful earthquakes like this one have 1-3 minutes of shaking (this one had about 2).

My mom lived here in 1964 for the big 9.2, I hope this one didn't trigger any lingering memories.

Glad everything is ok.

A few years ago in west central MN there was one. We are definitely not in earthquake territory. I can't recall the magnitude but it was a very very minor one. It woke me up because I thought I had heard thunder. I looked out the window and saw stars. I then sat on the edge of the bed thinking I must have dreamt it. I felt the slightest vibration. Shrugged it off and went back to bed. Next day on the way to work it was all over the radio. The epicenter was only a mile or two away.

Gurt. Sounds like you have a hard nosed gritty hockey player that plays both ways. Congrats.

Hope all you right coasters are doing ok with the blizzard.

I will be heading out in a bit to watch some football. On the lake. A friend of mine has a 30' fish house. Big screen tv. Grilling steaks. Cold beverages. Only in MN.

I only remember one other one. It was a bang and a brief shake. The one ewe and I are talking about the whole house shook for some time. That was really weird.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #182: Snow!

The only earthquake that I have ever felt was the one in VA in 2011 which was 5.8. I didn't know what it was when it occurred.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #182: Snow!

Cheese curds, roasted corn, lefse, judging for the baking competition, Famous Daves, fried pickles, tiny fish on a stick, chocolate chip cookies, some of the animal showcase, Texas Steakout, mini donuts, cinnamon buns. It wasn't about gross foods like his show normally is, he was celebrating the awesomeness of the fair.

It's the only one I've ever experienced. I was so frightened because it was so foreign and unreal.
