project of the day
It's always fun when one gets to operate big noisy dusty machines. Oh wait.... I do that for a living don't I? I knew the old maple floors were in rough shape and I've been threatening to sand them for years, but this photo really shows up just how badly...

What MAD missed

HNY
Before I toddle off to bring in the NewYear driving a humongous stationary piece of machinery (and, incidentally, to enjoy a Prime Rib potluck dinner at said place of employment!), I want to wish everyone the happiest of New Years. What a year of change...

Deadlines, schmedlines....
It occurs to me that, best intentions or no, I always seem to wind up caught with my figurative pants down when the end of each class looms. Not only do I have a final exam to write by Saturday night, I am also frantically putting the finishing touches...

Days of Yore... "Your"? "You're"?

Speed
Time flies when you're busy. Photos are taken, but the blog gets neglected. This was just a shot out the car window of the fields which are full of hunters chasing the wily elusive Odocoileus virginianus. If you look closely you just might see a flash...

Lance Armstrong has nothing to worry about...
Great ride today! I decided this was the weekend to do the entire Bearskin/ Hiawatha trail trip. The two trails aren't connected yet, so it means riding on a state highway for a mile or so, but that wasn't too bad. Ken dropped me off up near Minocqua,...

Fun article for Packer fans
Ah, '92....That was such a fun season to watch. At that time, we were dealing with the worry of problems with my pregnancy with #2 daughter, knowing that she would be a premature baby. As scared about the whole situation as I was, I was trying so hard...
