Elbow Lake

I felt like I needed to grow and to go out and do things.

And I was working for a friend of mine back in, in Elbow Lake and another friend up in, in Fargo, kind of branching out locally and doing some of my own stuff.

Um, uh, worked for Bill and Peg Bergeron, chopping the top in, on a '35 Ford three window and then painting it, and I lived in their flamingo room down in their basement.

And he's, uh, he's an old, uh, Navy guy and, and a real funny guy and, and we had a friendship and obviously worked on his car and chopped it and painted it in his shop in, uh, I think it was Lakeland, Minnesota.

And I didn't want to miss out on much of it anymore.

So my dad was on the airport board in Elbow Lake, Minnesota, where I grew up.

And he's like, hey, they want maintenance in Elbow Lake.

I'm like, what? So to preface that a little bit, it was a grass runway and no bathroom.

Okay.

All right.

We'll go move there because we were living in Salmon, Idaho again.

We moved back to Elbow Lake, Minnesota and got Laura out of the mountains and to the flats of Minnesota.

But with Columbia working the month on, month off, I was like – All right.

We'll go move there because we were living in Salmon Island.

Men like 50-year-old John Moe.

Moe made the trip to La Porte from his home at Elbow Lake, Minnesota.

He brought $1,000, intending, he told neighbors, to pay off his future bride's mortgage.

Strangely, John Moe had only been on the farm about a week when he just disappeared.

Again, most of the rain that we're seeing here this morning, as expected, has been staying way to the south of us.

There are some thundershower activities, Gwinner, Foreman, Hankinson, over Minnesota, Elbow Lake, Ashby, Evansville, you'll see some rumbles of thunder, it looks like, down Watertown, South Dakota, surrounding areas, over to Montevideo.

The heaviest stuff I'm seeing, and that's where they're calling for, southern Minnesota, where they're saying four to six inches.

I see areas around New Ulm, Mankato, Faribault, Owatonna, they're all seeing some rumbles.
