A Post From Wisconsin

I thought I would make a quick post with some pictures that have been taken while I have been home for the weekend.

I have been doing a whole lot of nothing.  Basically I have been eating at all of the places I miss, such as, Kristinas, Kingston House, Haases Supper Club, Roadhouse, Pastimes, etc etc etc.  I have gone skeet shooting, we have had a cookout, we have gone geocaching, and we have relaxed and done nothing.  It has been a great time so far, and I cannot believe I head back tomorrow already.

Here are a few pictures taken while here, not much, but a little something to look at.


This was the view from one of our favorite caches of today.  We went out and found all 17 caches we looked for.  We like 100% find days.  It was a perfect day for caching.

 Sunday morning a bunch of friends and family went with me to the Berlin Conservation Club, skeet shooting was the game of the day.  The weather was a little chilly, but we all had a great time, and we all shot pretty well.  I wish I could have stayed all day, but they were only open till noon, and we had to head back for the cookout.


 Some of the motley crew that was shooting Sunday.


 This is my adorable niece riding the rocking horse out in the shop.  We had about 30 friends and family members show up for a little food off the grill, and a few more beers.  It sure was nice of everybody to stop bye to say hi, I really enjoyed seeing all of you, what a turnout!


For all of you non believers back in North Dakota, no, I was not kidding.  Pickled mushrooms really do exist, and we really do put them in our drinks.  This was taken at Haases...I said...."I'll take a 7&7 with mushrooms"  bartender says "coming right up"  What a relief...in No Dak, when you order a drink w/mushrooms they look at you like you are stoned....good to be back in reality.


Tonight it is off to Pastimes for all you can eat wings, and 7&7's with mushrooms!  Tomorrow is lay low day before my flight back into my home away from home.  It has been fun, and I already look forward to coming back next time.

Snow, Snow, Snow

Well, my flight is supposed to leave at 6:30 Thursday morning.  Not sure, but I think the 18" of snow we are getting through tomorrow evening might have something to say about that.  I was hoping to head out to Minot right after work tomorrow to get a head-start, but I bet the roads will be closed.

Here are a few pictures out our front door....sucks, oh well, not much that can be done.



We will see what happens.

Check out the blog over the weekend, I will post pictures of what I am up to back in Wisconsin.

Still Living

I am still around, still living the dream out here!  Not much has been going on.  Lots of work, a little drinking, a little bit of fun mixed in.

I will definitely be doing a little geocaching this weekend, this weather is way too nice not to give it a try.

I will be flying home next week,  Thursday morning through Tuesday afternoon.  I am really looking forward to seeing Ruth and the rest of my family again.  I have a full weekend planned out, should be a blast.  Got some skeet shooting planned, caching, cookouts, relaxation and whatever else sounds good.  Can't wait!
