Good morning. I'm starting job 5 today, cooking brats (yes, drop your kids off:)) at Pappy's Bar about 2 miles from the house. There's some kind of motorcycle rendezvous and at least 50 people should show up. I'll be shuttling canoes there as well. Sunday I'll work at the Log Cabin...and tearfully (sarcasm font) tell them goodbye.

Only one appointment this morning, then home to paint and then off to the airport to get our kid! It will be good to have her around again.

Have a wonderful day.

Nimblefoot, there are some yaboos from where I work going on their annual canoe/kayaking trip down the Namekagon today...they do a lot of drinking and are more into the party aspect of the trip than the outdoor so I don't mind that I've never been asked to join them...they're renting canoes and a kayak from somewhere in Trego...I didn't ask them where...

It was beautiful during the work week but now the humidity has jumped and it's cloudy...why does the majority of poor weather always hit the week-ends?

Having Egg Benedict this morning...yummy yummy yummy

Mata - it's either Log Cabin or Jacks. They're side by side and bitter rivals. I tried to get my boss to allow me to "pack" a super soaker so I could hose down the competition when meeting at a landing, but he's just an old grouch. Now that I'm working for a 3rd entity, I'll try, once again, to carry a SS. Maybe I can hose down my former boss:)

Just got back from the new job. Looks like they want me back at 5:00 pm as sort of a designated driver to return the local drunks to their various homes. Could be good tips; hope I don't get puked on.

Don't worry SC, once you meet Laurel she will try and keep you busy the entire time. Trust me on this one!

HPM has to get yet another sleeping pad. I don't think last more than 4 trips, honestly. Except the old 3/4 length pads that are damned uncomfortable. They're bomb proof. Laurel-proof, too. Laurel's ready to show off her brand new boots. Dear god she's already up to a size 2. They were on clearance so I went ahead and got the next size up, too.

Karma hell
I should never make fun of the people from Illinois and the Twin Cities again. Last night my designated driver customers were 8 drunken motorcyclists from Chicago and about the same number of babes from the Twin Cities. Alcohol and hormones; it was gruesome to watch. The only fun part was when the chicks told the guys to frick off at the end of the night. The whole thing was like junior high school only with the participants in their 40's and 50's.

...and the one in the middle was a presbyterian..., lol.

I did the canoe gig at Log Cabin on Sunday. Last day there. Today I'm making sandwiches and coffee at Alley Cats. Tomorrow is my last day at that establishment.

Saturday, or earlier, I'm starting gig 5 at Pappy's Bar, another canoe/tube shuttling outfit. $2/hr more than the Log Cabin and all cash under the table. A little more red neck atmosphere; I think I'll blend in quite well. This is the same place where I did my designated driver stint on Saturday night. It's a highly revered watering hole where locals and visitors seem to temporarily get along. A long deceased previous owner picked some wild mushrooms years back; the consumed product killed his wife and daughter, damn near killing him. They are no longer on the menu, but will be served to family members on special request.

hey you two......i guess it's been a while since i posted.....busy place around here.
seems like the rain has moved on but you never know, it might come a flood this afternoon.
Nimble, i suppose you keep some of them mushrooms around for house guests? are you supplementing your frozen meat section of your freezer? any reports of missing visitors? and how low are the legs on that table?

Hi. I'm not quite awake yet. Have a friend driving up for lunch, then I'll be at a friend's house making more thank-you cards for my shower on Saturday. We've purchased everytyhing we need for baby smiley, its just a matter of organizing it all now.

Have a good one, folks!

Good morning, it's gloomy outside today and I hope we get more rain. We got a little overnight, but my garden needs a good drink. I didn't bother to go fishing this weekend because the streams are so low there's not enough water to fish. I made some crafts over the weekend and went for a hike Saturday. After going camping the last two weekends this one seemed to drag a little.

Thanks to flight delays I got home at 1:30 am instead of 10:30 last night. Jamaica was great, but I'm dragging this moring. Looks like the usual bunch of stuff last week.

Morning all. I'll take all your rain, RichB. It's going to be 100 here today, and we're now in a severe drought.

I finally have my house to myself again. Woohoo!

I went shopping early saturday morning for all the stuff on Laurel's school supply list. Remember the days when you were responsible for your own stuff at school? Your own crayons, scissors, markers, etc... This whole "community stuff" concept sucks rocks. No personal responsibility for anything. Star Trek style socialism is taking over!

Morning. It rained all day yesterday. We really needed it. Today I get to go to Ann Arbor to see a friend who has a daughter 3 mos younger than Ab, my very oldest friend aside from my mom. Then I get to come home and drop off mom-in-law to pick up a brand new car (yay), then more painting. HOOORAY. It's still grey and I'm tired and sore from all the work yesterday. Would love to go back to bed. But, at least I have coffee!

Three days until the kids trip.
