What have you been seeing on Lake of the Woods? I know we're getting into the time of year where you're getting a lot of green and is that kind of a thing yet? Or have you been able to avoid it? And what are the fish doing? What have you been throwing? Give me a little breakdown real quick.

Sure, so the algae bloom is in full swing on the lake.

From the south all the way up through the Big Narrows, Tranquil Channel areas and starting to push up into the north section of the lake.

If you run far enough to the east, you're still going to be in some real clear water.

But everything to the whole south and west portions of the lake are now getting pretty greened up.

Eventually, so here's what I've always found with the green water.

you either wanna be on one side of it or the other.

You don't have to, you know, you don't have to give out all the details, but kind of just, you know, what's been, what's been your go-to selection as far as, you know, catching fish, seeing fish, that type of stuff.

to the

other end of the system, where you've cut down the very last tree, it should take you, I think I've got it at like, it should take you like 25 years to cut down all these trees.

Anywhere between 15 and 25 years, depending on how many trees.

By that time, the trees that you first cut down and replanted, are ready to be cut down again.

Or you wait another 50 years or another 75 years and they're ready to be cut down again.

The whole point is to figure out a cycle so that you're constantly getting black walnut wood as a third revenue stream.

You're always making walnuts, so you've got that revenue stream.

Do what? I need you to riff on biochar.

Okay.

So Bill Grundy, one of the old vanguards of the old system, so he would show them up to be the completely unruly crew that they are.

So he let them, brackets, have some more drinks in the green room than they should have done, maybe.

And they came, and he was gonna show them up.

So they came on the show, and he dared them, and they started swearing, and it was the famous Sex Pistol swear word s- um, interview.

Of course, what happened was Bill Grundy got sacked, and Sex Pistols became world famous.

So he was on the Today show, which was a magazine, you know, the, the showbiz show, and now that became Thames at 6:00, and then became Thames News.

You have a family to take care of.
