Mmmmmmmmm.....With Video Links!!
There are a lot of very satisfied Seger fans in Wisconsin right now, and yes.... I'm one of them. And you'll have to excuse the lousy, blurry picture--we had floor seats, but we were far enough back to render flash on a little pocket camera completely...

The Motley Crew in da UP
What a trip!! We had a great time--my poor repeatedly sun-and-wind-burned nose may never recover. Day One was great. It was my first time riding long-distance in a large group, so I was a little nervous. I didn't want to fall back and miss a stoplight,...

Back.....
I'm still, two days later, trying to get my right wrist to once again straighten out completely! Too much time on the throttle combined with early arthritis, I suppose. Good thing I am so severely left-handed, lol. My best pictures are up on the flickr...

Whew
Still trying to recover from the weekend, lol--although in this case, it's going to take awhile. There were a lot of highs and lows, from the incredible high of seeing everyone again to a semi-low of RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN.... emotional highs and lows --the...

horrorscope for the week
This week November 14 through November 20 Libra Mercury turns retrograde on Monday in your communication zone. This may cause all kinds of delays to your administrative efforts until it turns direct on December 4. Don't be tempted into signing any contracts...

fini
Well, it's sorta fini, lol. There are a couple more pics on the Flickr site, too. What do y'all think of some art tile to cover those yucky black bricks on the hearth? I've been trying to figure out how to get them clean again, but my mother suggested...

The 2996 project
I'm posting tonight, since I'll be working long hours overnight and won't be near a computer for most of tomorrow. This post is as important to me today as it was last year, and I wanted to make sure it was "right". One year ago, just prior to the fifth...

Possibly the last long ride of the season
This is what early autumn in northern 'sconsin looked like from my saddle today. Trust me, getting that shot wasn't as easy as it looks. Note the buggy windshield--it was spotlessly clean about a half hour before I took this. (And yes, I *was* poking...

#4 headed for #4MVP?
"How 'bout dem Packers?" P.S. It was really really nice to see the crowd in the Metrodome, the fans of the hated Viqueens, applaud Favre when he completed the pass. Some things are more important than the rivalry, even if I do have a couple of friends...

Happy ***** April Fool's Day!! [updated]
Nothing like waking up to 8" of Mother Nature's Gift. 50 degree temps predicted for the next two days.... we go from one extreme to the other up here, don't we? Sloppy, soggy, horrible wet stuff as well. So I figured it was time to introduce Rudy to "'sconsin...

Getting there... and hopefully *back*
View Larger Map Stupid Google maps is not behaving, so I'm only getting *part* of the route, and then it completely disappears when I zoom in on it. It's pretty easy, though. Just go East until you hit ocean. Then eat lobster. *Lots* of lobster. Escanaba...

Dad and Mom
This is the guy who's been giving me all these old family pics; in Gieblestadt, Germany in the AirForce about 1958. (Yes, I know I probably butchered that spelling...) What a handsome dude, eh? :-D And this is Mom in 1953, about the time she met my Dad....

My family jewels...er, rock...
I spent some time over the last couple of days with my Dad, going through large--extremely large--tubs of photographs and papers, and old valentines, and.....etc. I have this project in mind of scanning all of these old faded photos, and trying to make...

San Antonio Ring
Last year, at my class reunion in Texas, Rick gave me a packet of stones from his jewelry-making days. I had a great time pawing through all the stones, and picking out a few of them. ( "oooooh...shiny!!" ;-) ) My birthstone is opal, so I grabbed a couple...

My Wonderful Coworkers.....
...gave me an early birthday present last night. Seeing that I would be on vacation this weekend for the Fall Ride , they figured I need a new outfit to wear in the parade. Yep, they think I should squeeze the almost-45-year-old-fanny into this little...

Monument to the Heating season
Russians unveil radiator monument Energy workers in Russia have marked the onset of the country's severe winter - with a monument to the world's first radiator. The sculpture, of a cat lying on a windowsill over a heater, was unveiled at a power station...

Just playing around
Yep, if you happen to surf in to sell me *v*i*a*g*r*a*, or a mortgage, or swampland in Florida, you'll notice that I am farting around with the templates again. It's fun to play in the sandbox. Even got the stupid sitemeter working again (fingers crossed....

Good news
There is bright news in the world, even though I posted something like this the other day. There is hope for all of us, even self-described "curmudgeons" like my best friend from High School. I remember Bill well from HS--he was one of the great characters...

They're almost gone
Look out, you southern-type folks -- they're on their way. The last week or so, I've been able to hear honking nearly every night as they fly over. They're also on the ground. Leaving PILES of goose poop behind. Some of which I managed to pedal over on...

todays' mail
The world seems just a wee bit smaller today...... :D And NO, I am *not* going to show the photo inside. Let's put it this way. I can't decide whether I look more like a deranged blonde terrorist or a frightened-deer-in-the-headlights. If THIS photo doesn't...

It's almost Halloween
You'd think we were at Faber College...where KNOWLEDGE IS GOOD "Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring,...

small accomplishments
Well, I had to do something today besides sit around in my pajamas blogging, right? So I finished binding off my very first shawl. I finished the knitting awhile back, but I hate binding off knits as much as I hate binding my quilts. So, here it is, looking...
