Happy Fourth of July!

I’ve been outside working in the yard most of the afternoon, cleaning up after the dog, and mowing the lawn. It’s nice to have a day off from work, but I wish I could’ve gotten some errands done or gone up to the cabin…

Today I was looking pretty good with some khaki slacks and a sky-blue polo shirt, but I was busted by the fashion police for non-compliance (no polo shirts and no shirts without button down collars if you aren’t wearing a tie), and they made me change into this:

Who knew that posting to a weblog would take a little time and effort! 😉 Anyways, it’s been a busy week, and yesterday was spent doing some “team-building” type exercises in bluff country, southeast MN.

I have a great picture to post from that outing later today, but for now, need a little poster to put up somewhere?

Well. it’s been a while since I’ve posted… here’s comes a flurry of stuff I’ve been saving up, or rather, neglected to post since it wasn’t all that important.

Well almost a whole week has passed since my last gripping update, and I bet one or two people are wondering how it all went…

Overall it was a very nice weekend, although too short. I wish I could’ve spent a week or two hanging out with my lady and my puppy.

And to answer the questions from the last post:

• The ice was off the lake
• I fully entered the very cold water, and my skin burned for 20 minutes after I got out.
• I shot a 52 at Pecks Wildwood.. not too bad (for me)
• Yeti loved the water, and after walking right off the end of the dock (she thought it was shallow, I suppose) figured out how to swim right away
• All I have to say is, 659.5 miles, 13.4 gallons, 49.1mpg

Well, I’m off on a little road trip for the weekend, up to the northwoods of Wisconsin. It should be a good time, but sadly my lady can’t make it on account of her working schedule.

The weekend will provide answers to a few questions though:

• Will the ice be off the lake?
• Will I keep Memorial Day tradition and fully enter the water?
• Was my opening 51 on 9 with the new clubs a good sign or a bad sign? (51 is a pretty decent score for me)
• Will Yeti spend the weekend as a ball of mud?
• Will Bogey convincingly break 40mpg? (even with a bike on the roof?)

For the answers to these questions and more, tune in next week!
