September
29, 2008 - Jak se maj!!! Good morning everyone and Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend despite some REALLY crappy football. Overall, I was OK...
Tired this morning? Yes, I am, but for a good reason I think... Spent the 1st half of the weekend down in Milwaukee working. We moved a data center there and put in a pretty long Friday and Saturday.
We were home on Saturday by 10pm, so it wasn't too bad... Back to back 14 hour days can be a bit much though, but I'll recover...
The coolest thing is how neat that area in Milwaukee is now. We were in the 3rd and 5th "wards", which I would say is kinda south and east of the Marquette interchange. It’s an older part of downtown, but they've really done a lot to renovate the old buildings and bring in a lot of cool business. Definitely a neat place to hang out.
Some VERY nice sights... I hope to spend some more time down there with that company... BUT, I'm glad that move job is completed...
Quick update on my "sleep issues"... I had my sleep study done last Monday and they didn't find anything... Great, huh? I have to meet with that doctor next week and then with my regular doctor the
day after. The funny thing was, I woke up from the sleep study and felt pretty good. Disappointed that they didn’t find anything, but I wasn't very tired like the day before. Considering they had 32 connections taped or glued to me, it’s hard to believe I slept that well. Go figure... But, I'll keep plugging away...
Football this weekend... let's take this in order...
The Denville 11... Winners from what I can tell, despite the Green Bay Press suddenly NOT covering half of the Bay Conference action. The Chief pointed out that the score was on the front page of the press on Saturday, but absolutely nothing in the sports section. No article, no box score, not even the final score... totally pathetic! I'm assuming they want me to cancel my
subscription as this is the second week in a row. I'm going to email the sports editor and see what's going on... Anyway, congrats to Denville's 11 as they beat Marinette...
Saturday... I worked all day, but checked on the score when I could. I heard it was 19-0 at half but that it should have been a much bigger route at the time. They had the Brewers on the radio where I was so I didn't keep track until I heard the Badgers choked the game and lost 27-25. I was almost physically ill. How on this earth can the Badgers find a way to lose to Michigan? Just sick...
Plus the Brewers lost...
Sunday wasn't much better... The Packers came out, looked good, got that 7-0 lead, and then just puked... They were horrible... The offensive line, the running backs, and even the receivers looked terrible... I'm holding judgment on Rodgers because A) I don't think it was his fault, and B) I like him. But the offense was offensive... smelling... The defense? Terrible
as well... Some good points there, like the secondary did pretty well
considering, but overall they were bad. Terrible tackling mostly. The linebackers were awful... Poppinga was "ok", but Hawk was invisible and Barnett was his usually lousy self... I REALLY REALLY REALLY think they need to swap those two guys around and then dump Barnett next year. I think Barnett is a huge liability in the middle... Always looking for the big play instead of staying home, always getting taken out of plays, and missing tons of tackles... Not a fan if you didn't guess... Mike III needs to really kick some butt this week...
Luckily, the Brewers (yes, the Brewers) saved the day... As you know, I don't watch or follow pro baseball... Not since the '92 strike... I'm STILL bitter... But this was historic and the kid was watching so I followed it. Pretty amazing.... CC is incredible... so I enjoyed that whole thing, but now what? I have the itch to watch them in the playoffs. I KNOW it’s just jumping on the bandwagon, but I can't help it... We'll see what Wednesday brings us...
I had one other positive this weekend... Well, my lovely bride was out of town, so I had that going for me... Just kidding... she went up north for the "Ladies Weekend" and reported a very good time was had by all...
I mentioned my truck paint job last week... Well, it didn't turn out too bad... Definitely not professional in anyway, but it looks better than it did, and not as
noticeably bad as I thought it would be. So, for $100, I'm going to call it a success...
Let's see what's on this week's schedule... I need a little celebratory libation...
29 Festival of Tezcatzonctl (Aztec). All Hail the Chief Aztec God of Intoxication!
Tequila.
30 Cheers debuts (1982). “Terrorists, Sam. They’ve taken over my stomach and they’re demanding beer.”—Norm.
A trough of beer and a snorkel.
1 The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson and world-class drunkard Ed McMahon debuted (1962). Hi-yooooo!
Bourbon in a coffee cup.
2 Groucho Marx’s Birthday (1890). “I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.”
Country Club Malt Liquor.
3 St. Dionysus Day. The drunk monk, not the wine god. Chimay Ale.
4 Vodka Day. “Vodka is our enemy, so we must utterly consume it!”—Russian idiom in response to Soviet anti-vodka campaign.
The enemy.
5 Monty Python’s Flying Circus debuts (1969). American Beer is a lot like making love in a row boat—it's
f-ing close to water.” —Eric Idle. Holy Grail Ale.
Pretty interesting week... Tequila, Cheers, Johnny, Groucho, drunk Monks, the Russians and Monty Python... I think I need a week of vacation to handle this...
No hunting this past weekend... Too much work and then that crappy misty weather yesterday... I hope to get out and do something this coming weekend... Some bowhunting and maybe even a little fishing... We'll see how it goes...
Big news out of Denville this week... sounds like our SEC-Transportation won't be the shortest person in his house much longer... Congrats to Greg and Ashley on this big news... Good luck!
Hmm... Seems like there has been more going on, but I can't think of anything else to report on right now... So this'll wrap it up... But like every week, before I go, a few words of wisdom for our junior members...
"That is the thankless position of the father in the family... the provider for all, and the enemy of all." ~ J. August Strindberg
That’s a lot truer than you'd think...

September
22, 2008 - Jak se maj!!! Howdy everyone! Hope everyone is all set for the start of a new week. I know I'm not... Still tired...
Which brings me to my first topic... Sleep. Everyone knows how crappy they can feel if they don't get enough sleep. Personally, I think that's the biggest part of a hangover, lack of sleep. Well, I've been awful tired lately, to the point I went to the doctor with it a few weeks ago, and then last week I went to a specialist. Guess what? It’s a good bet I have sleep apnea. It can get so bad that even though you’re in bed "sleeping" for 8 hours, you're really only getting a couple hours of actual sleep. That's EXACTLY how I feel this morning!!!
It’s funny how it works too. Usually it starts slow but since you're always tired, you tend to be less active, which leads to weight gain, which in turn tends to make it worse... Well, I put on around 20 lbs in the last 6 months, and it’s definitely worse... Anyway, I get to do a sleep study next week, and I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping it works out and
we can fix the issue... This morning I woke up so tired I had to take a nap before I went to work... Seriously... But, enough whining about me...
How about those Packers?!?!? What a crummy game, eh? It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't dislike the Cowgirls so much, but that just makes it so much worse. Plus, my boys were gone so I kinda had to watch it alone... Well, my beautiful bride was there, but it’s the same difference. I guess it’s better to get this out of the way and have them get their head out of their butts now. I think they played OK, just never
had that spark... And against a good team like that, field goals are not going to cut it. Well, onto Tampa next week...
No Badgers this weekend as they had their bye, which was kinda nice... The Denville boys won a game from the sounds of it, but the GP Diaper didn't even cover it, much less many of the other Bay Conference games. What's up with that? It may be time to cancel the paper and get my news entirely online...
Speaking of the Denville gridiron, I understand my youngest, the Chief Inspector, is on Homecoming court. Whatever happened to the tradition of having the football players on court? Well, I hope he enjoys it and doesn't let it go to his head. I'm sure it won't come cheap, so he better make it memorable... In a GOOD way!!!
Finally got out in the woods on Saturday for a little bowhunting. I've spent quite a bit of time practicing as I've gone over to using a "release" with the bow. I find that I'm much more consistent and accurate with it, but it does take some getting used to. Plus, it’s just one more device to deal
with in the field. So I headed out Saturday afternoon, but after about 30 minutes in the stand, I was afraid that if I didn't tie myself into the tree the mosquitoes would actually lift me and fly me away, so I took a long walk and still hunted. Very nice out, so it worked out fine...
No deer though... Looking forward to cooler weather...
Started a project yesterday that today I wish I'd never considered... My truck, a '94 Dakota, has been peeling paint. Not rust or anything, just the paint is peeling down to the primer, and it looks pretty crummy. I've been ignoring it, but then The President got a NEW (used) truck,
I figured I better make mine look a little better...
So, I bought about $100 worth of paint online and figured I don't have a lot of time left to do it since you need around 70 degree weather, so I got
at it yesterday. Washed it, cleaned all the spots, did a little sanding, and then went to taping it all up. There were about a dozen spots, so it took a while... I got a couple coats on and it was going OK... I could already tell it wasn't going to be a perfect match, but it IS a 14 year old truck, so that's OK... So I pulled some of the taping back so I could feather it out before putting on the clear coat and I realized what a disaster I had in the making... Not only did some of the NEW paint peel off with the tape, but more of the original paint did too!!! So I messed around and tried to make it look decent, which I hope it will, and got the last coat of clear coat on at half time. I'm letting it dry today and tonight I'll use the rubbing compound on the clear coat and call it a day... What a fiasco.. Nothing new for me though...
Big week at work... Got a big job coming up in Milwaukee that's going to have us working over the weekend. Should be fun, and I hope it goes well...
Haven't been partaking much lately, but let’s see what's on the schedule anyway...
22 National Wine Week begins. Week-long bender!
MD 20/20.
23 John Paul Jones victorious (1779). Declare, "I have not yet begun to drink!" at last call and see how far it gets you.
24 F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Birthday (1896). “Sometimes I wish I’d went through those good times stone cold sober so I could remember everything—but then again, if I ‘d been sober the times probably wouldn’t have been worth remembering.”
Champagne Cocktail.
25 William Faulkner’s Birthday (1897). “There’s no such thing as bad whiskey. Some just happen to be better than others.”
Well whiskey.
26 Gilligan’s Island debuts (1964). Fact: 70% of men prefer MaryAnne.
Gilligan’s Island
1 oz vodka
1 oz peach schnapps
3 oz orange juice
3 oz cranberry juice
Shake, pour over ice.
27 Samuel Adams’ Birthday (1722). Patriot, brewer, boozehead. Sam Adams Lager.
28 Drink As Much Beer As Possible Day. Started in Milwaukee. Case of Old Milwaukee.
Wow, what a great week! Only 70% of men prefer MaryAnne though? I would have guessed higher... Ginger was such a bag...
But she DID have some great dresses...
Saw The President on Saturday... He had some apples for me for "the hunt"... Discussed various world issues and got out of there. One thing: We need to verify wood cutting weekend. That got screwed up for me when the boy got on Homecoming court, but I'll deal with it... Just need to make sure we have cheap labor there...
Another short and boring update.. Nothing new, but before I go, a few words of wisdom for our junior members...
"No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap." ~ Carrie Snow
More true than I would have ever thought...
As Red would say, "Keep your stick on the ice!"... Go Packers!!!
curtamous
PS. Just got a call from the doctor... My "sleep study" has been moved up to tonight... WooHoo!!!
September
15, 2008 - Jak se maj!!! Happy Monday everyone!!! After another great Packer game yesterday
so everyone should be in a great mood and ready to roll, right?!?! Yeah... Me too...
Kind of a rough weekend. To start out, the SEC-HSS, my eldest, came home from college in Iowa, which was nice. Hadn't seen him in three weeks, so it was good to see him, but I thought his mother was going to pee her pants... Jeesh! So we had to go out to eat with him Friday, which was cool too, but then I had to go pick him up at 3am, so that wasn't SO
cool... Kids never learn, do they? Saturday night the Badgers were on TV until 1am, so I lost sleep there too... So I’m REALLY tired today... Plus the weather was crappy... Oh well...
Since sleep was at a premium and the weather was not premium, I did not get out hunting at all... Based on all the circumstances, never really even considered it... Well, there's next weekend and all of fall... I'll be out there soon!
Football... Let’s see... last week I forgot to mention the mighty Denville Viking gridiron team... Well, they got beat last week, and they got beat again on Friday... 1-2 to start the season. Well, their two losses were against pretty tough
teams (supposedly), so they have that. We'll see how they do going forward...
The Badgers squeaked one out in spite of some HORRBILE officiating in California. Sometimes it’s hard to see how referees can be so bad at that level. The blown fumble call was totally unbelievable, even to the announcers that were completely pro-San Jose State, but the rest of the officiating was just as bad. The ghost holding calls on the Badgers did not compare at all to the constant tackling of the Badger linebackers, but yet the Badgers were flagged and the Bulldogs were not... They wonder why no one wants to play out there??? Well, luckily they came out with a win...
The Packers? What a game!!! The Pack was awesome except for that 1st 20 minutes of the second half. During those 20 minutes they took a commanding lead and turned it into a 1 point deficit. The Liuns do have some talent, but they are so inconsistent. I mean how does Kitna go from having half of his passes dropped, to slicing up the Packer defense, to throwing three picks in a row??? They just suck... But I'm
glad the Pack won and Rodgers did well... Can't wait to see how the they do against the dreaded Cowgirls...
Work is still busy but going well... Spent a day down in Milwaukee again last week and will probably again this week. Then we'll be working there over a weekend, probably the last weekend in September... Should be fun... Stopped on my way back in Port Washington... A little supper club, right off the highway to the west... Neislettes, or something like that... Awesome!!! I recommend it highly.
What's on the all important schedule this week?
15 Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Perk her up by picking up the tab.
Whatever the lady wants.
16 Day of the Great Mother (Pagan). We all know a few. Gran Ma.
17 M.A.S.H. debuts (1972). “Swill gin? Sir, I have sipped, lapped, and taken gin intravenously but I have never swilled.” —Hawkeye.
Gin martini, Sahara dry.
18 Captain Nelson discovered Jeannie in a bottle (1965). Was only slightly disappointed she wasn’t bourbon.
Jeannie’s Dream
4 oz Malibu Rum
2 oz sloe gin
2 oz orange juice
2 oz pineapple juice
2 oz 7-Up
Mix Malibu, juices and 7-Up. Gently top with sloe gin.
19 Feast of Thoth (Egyptian). The god purported to have taught the Egyptians how to make beer.
Pyramid Pale Ale.
20 Alexander the Great’s Birthday (256 BC). Conquered the world while on a bender.
Tequila Alexander.
21 Swiss National Yodeling Festival. You never know until you try. Longneck bottled beer (to defend yourself).
Wow, what a great week!!! Gran Ma, dry Martinis, beer, and tequila! But what is this "Whatever the lady wants" stuff? Sounds like my house
EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
Today should be the FM's first day at his new job... I still didn't get the "official" go head to provide details, so you'll have to contact him yourself... All I can say is he's working for a camera company and he's working out of his home... So if you want to see him, you'll probably have to check the local establishments in Denville....
Speaking of the FM, he announced last week that the Annual World Championship Booyah Cookoff is once again on!!! As you may know, the organizers that set the event
up for the last 10 years (and did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!) retired and up until recently no one took it
on. But it sounds like some young ladies out at Circle Tap are game to try it and
it's set for the 26th of October. Now we'll just have to see where the FM's alligence lies... Will he join the Bob's
Buck Camp team or will he (again) follow his own path and try to poisen the masses with his belgian style booyah? Time will tell... Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hey, it’s the Sausage Stuffer's birthday this week... If you see the old man, wish him a happy day!!!
Well, it’s either a tough morning or it was a boring week, cause this update is pretty lame... Oh well, before I go, a few words of wisdom for our junior members...
"Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work." - Vince Lombardi
Vince is like Rodney Dangerfield... He had a lot of good things to say...
As Red would say, "Keep your stick on the ice!"...

September
8, 2008 - Jak se maj!!! Morning everyone! Hope everyone is doing well out there... Me? I'm exhausted... It’s really tiring doing almost nothing ALL weekend!!! Could make for a very quick update... We'll see...
With summer over, we're definitely into football season... If anyone else watched the Badgers on Saturday, I'm sure you would have agreed with me that it looked like another Alvarez team. They were slow out of the gates and looked "awful"!!! Luckily they came around and put a woop'en on "The Thundering Herd", but I tell you what, a good team would have BURIED them. Hopefully that crap is out of their system and they can take it to Fresno next week!
I watched Favre yesterday and caught most of the game. Was he really THAT lucky with the Packers? I think he was... But I would NOT want to be him this week with the Patriots buzzing like wasps after losing Brady yesterday. If they get a chance, they WILL hurt him... They've done it before, and Beli-cheat is a real "ass"... Could get ugly...
The Packers break open the season tonight... No idea how things are going to go for them... With all the little nagging injuries and all the other boloney they've had to deal with, I just don't know, but I SURE hope they beat the crap out of the ViQueens. Every year you have to listen to their classless rants and raves about how they're going to do this and do that, and you know what? They always suck! Let’s hope it stays that way...
On a side note, the Bares looked OK last night... that could spell trouble...
Here's some free advice for Stress Management for everyone:
Life is short. Enjoy!' And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
1 * Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4 * Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
8 * Never buy a car you can't push.
9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
Ain't that the truth! I like #1 and #6 the best... :-)
Started getting ready for hunting season this weekend. Considering the bowhunting opener is Saturday, I figured that would be a pretty good idea. Got the bow out and practiced a bit, and am considering moving to using a release. I picked up a cheap one last year to play with, and you know
what? I shoot much more consistently with it. It would be a big change this late in the game, but it may be worth it. We'll see how it goes this week... I may have to work next weekend, so I may have time to figure it out...
Speaking of work, I spent a day down in Milwaukee last week getting ready for a data center move there... Drove down and back the same day, which makes for a LONG day, and didn't get to visit any of the locals down there... Fair warning though... If you know anyone
that likes broom clsoets and has no driveway, they could get a surprise visitor some day... ;-)
I think the 141 Speedway racing season is almost over with this coming weekend the season finale. I think our SEC-Transportation took a 2nd in the feature this past weekend and he and teammate Lee Kip are sitting 2 and 3 in the standings. Good luck in the final this weekend guys!
So, what's on the schedule?
8 Star Trek debuts (1966). Kirk and his lusty band of drunks are unleashed on the universe.
Romulan Ale.
9 Horned Dance Festival (Pagan). Ah yes, the horned dance. You know the one. Sex on the Beach.
10 Buy a Regular a Drink Day. Wonder who came up with this one. Cheapest draft.
11 National Tricky Handshake Day. We kid you not. Left Hand Sawtooth Ale.
12 H.L. Mencken’s Birthday (1880). H.L. estimated that 17,864,392,788 cocktails could be conceivably mixed from the ingredients a well-stocked bar.
#5,054,458s and lots of ‘em.
13 National Peanut Day. And you know what goes with peanuts. Draft beer.
14 Slaughter of the Pig at Santa Maria delle Grazie (Italian). When the Italian’s have a pig roast, they really do it up.
Negroni.
Hmmm... VERY interesting week! I'd love to try Romulan
Ale, you can't beat "Sex on the Beach", and if the FDA Chair gets his pig roaster going some day, he can show those Italians (and Belgians) how a Bohemian throws a party!!!
Word has it Zumbo and his beautiful bride were out east this weekend to get the Captain and his ship The Teddy off and running. Chuck ships out to the mid-east for a 7 month tour, so Godspeed to him and his crew! I wonder how much the hurricane affected their travel? Hope all went well for everyone!
Lots of stuff planned for this week, but nothing that looks like any fun... Probably one if not two trips to Milwaukee... Meetings... Work... all yucky stuff... Oh well! Deer Camp 2008 is RIGHT around the corner!!!
That's all I have... Pretty lame... But, as always before I go, a few words of wisdom for our junior members...
"Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness." ~ William E. Gladstone
If we could all live that way, the world would be a pretty happy place...
As Red would say, "Keep your stick on the ice!"... Go Packers!!!

September
2, 2008 - Jak se maj!!! Happy Tuesday all!!! Not too many times a year I can say that... Here's your "one day late, but still on time" update... Obviously, no Monday update due to the Labor Day holiday. I guess I could have gotten up early and done one, but I was a bit tired... More on that later...
Well, today is the first day back to school in Denville and three junior members donned backpacks this morning for their last "first day" of school. The AG, FM Jr, and Chief Inspector all began their senior year today... Good luck to all three!!!
Hard to believe its September already and summer is over... Oh well, to me, summer is over-rated... I like fall MUCH better... Bowhunting opener is less than 2 weeks away!!!
Speaking of hunting, bonus permits went on sale a couple weeks ago... Bonus permits are like the old Hunters-Choice permits... I ordered one for up-north (Unit 49B), but if you want one, you better get moving...
Pretty quiet work week last week, except Lori decided to have her appendix burst, so we had some excitement there... She's doing much better now and here's wishing her well and a speedy recovery!
Headed south on Friday to spend the last day of "summer" on the course with my buddy BO... GOOD times as always... He's pretty funny as he doesn't want his wife to know he's skipping work to golf. She thinks that maybe if he's skipping work he'd rather be home with his twin 18 month old girls... Yeah, right... Anyway, last time she busted him cause he was "tanned"... This time, his story was he was tanned because of a two hour outdoor lunch and the sunroof was open the whole way home on his car... Well,
half way through the story he started laughing so he was busted anyway... hilarious! Good time was had as
always, so it was still worth it...
Got a note from down south concerning the "broom closet" incidents... Nothing but denials... "De Nile" is a river in
Egypt!!! I suggested working on that as its probably a lot of fun...
Headed up to Kingsbury Kottage on Sunday for the day for the annual Labor Day get together. The Gutzman men from Townsend were there in the afternoon as well so it was nice to see them. It was also the anniversary of the Barber and his beautiful bride. He brought some cherry bounce AND plum wine... I didn't drive home, which also explains my being a little tired on Monday...
The only problem with the weekend was the Sausage Stuffer and his beautiful
librarian wife didn't show... Something about "Laundry"...
Laundry??? Oh, the SEC-State also whipped up an EXCELLENT fish boil! I have had a fish boil for quite some time and he really did a great job. It was excellent... It probably helped me be only a little tired Monday instead of REALLY tired!
With deer season approaching, I have a junior member quiz from Zumbo... Is this a legal buck?
Send in your entries...
So... what's on the bar menu this week?
1 Labor Day. “A person can work up a mean mean thirst after a hard day of nothin’ much.” —Replacements.
Working Man’s Zinfandel
2 oz tequila
2 oz scotch
1 oz cinnamon schnapps
1 oz peach schnapps
Sprite
Mix liquor with ice, top with Sprite.
2 World War II ends (1945). Drunks save the free world from tyrannical teetotaler.
Victory Collins
1 1/2 oz Vodka
3 oz lemon juice
3 oz grape juice, unsweetened
1 tsp powdered sugar
1 slice orange
Shake with ice, strain into a Collins glass over ice cubes. Garnish with orange slice.
3 Lost Day. Good day to start a bender. Pint of rye.
4 Looking For the Boundaries Day (Cuchumatan Indians, Guatemala Highlands). Test the boundaries of last call.
Mescal.
5 On the Road published. Barhop like Cassady and Kerouac. Cheap beer.
6 Read a Book Day. See if they have a bartender’s bible behind the bar. Flop the guide open and see what you get.
7 Keith Moon overdosed on drugs prescribed to combat his alcohol problem (1978). Well, it cured his drinking.
Booze, hold the drugs.
Hmmm... Not the greatest week ever... Never heard that about Keith Moon... Not surprised though...
Hey, the FM sent me a GREAT video called the "Best Beer Commercial Ever"... It probably is, but potentially beyond what I want on the site... ;-)
Speaking of the FM, no word on details of his career changes, so we'll just have to stay patient.. perhaps he'll send in something this week I can publish on Monday... Hopefully we won't have to wait until he shows up at deer camp... Some year...
Got this last week...
Breaking News - Brett Favre Sent to Chicago
Jets decide against Brett Favre; Green Bay takes him back and trades to Chicago.
In a sudden turn of events, the Green Bay Packers have traded Brett Favre to Chicago. In return, Chicago is giving us back Door County, Minocqua, Lake Geneva, WI Dells, Crivitz, and the left lane of the Interstate.
After driving back from Illinois on Friday, I can confirm that this is NOT true... FIBs STILL dominate the left lane of our interstates...
I think we perhaps have a weekend picked for woodcutting at the cabin... The second weekend in October seems to be working out so far. I stopped in to see The President yesterday to confirm it and we should be OK. Also, The President bought a new (used) truck. I'll never be able to keep up to him now... It’s a 2006 Dakota!!! Nice looking vehicle though...
That's about all I can come up with... As usual, before I go, a few words of wisdom for our junior members... We'll go with two quotes this week...
"Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day. It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken." ~ Bill Dodds
"As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in schools." ~ Author Unknown
As Red would say, "Keep your stick on the ice!"
