Ice going out overnight and this AM. This guy is using his dock barge to bust up the ice so it does not come down and bust up his Marina docks.

Kudos to the first guy/gal to tell me the unusual thing about this picture

This is a close up of a dock barge. This boat pushes docks from the river up and down river as seasons change and water freezes. Nice day here today. 60 degrees. Some snow melt yet to go but just about one more foot of river rise for both the St Croix (pictures of) and the Mississippi just a block south of these pics.

Looks like an eagle on the ice in that one picture Jack.

 

[JACK]

Yes Rick. I did not see that until I looked at the picture. This part of the MIssissippi (and most parts) and the St Croix are prime fishing spots for the bald eagle. The ice has gone out now and mostly the eagles will fish the back waters of the MIssissippi. But there will be a dozen roosts North of me in a 15 mile stretch to Hudson. the back waters will trap a lot of fish as the flood recedes and th eeagles will have easy pickins. They have had a tough winter. they feed on feral cats too.

Hi, Will this stock fit an MX type drop-out trigger, ie. MX-8 ? Thanks Jeff

Cyrus. That is what it came off of.
