'SUP?

WHAT YOU BEEN UP TO?

GLAD YOU ASKED, OUR TIME IS GETTING SHORT AT LAKE TAHOE. THERE'S A CRISPNESS TO THE AIR IN MORNINGS AND IT'S ABOUT 10 AM BEFORE THE SUN WARMS THINGS UP PROPERLY, A SURE SIGN OF FALL IN THE MOUNTAINS.

OUR FRIENDS AT WORK ARE EITHER GOING OR HAVE BEEN TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR IN SACRAMENTO, CA. IT'S INTERESTING TO ME THAT AS BIG AS THE WEST IS, THE STATE CAPITAL OF NEVADA AND THE STATE CAPITAL OF CALIFORNIA ARE ONLY 150 MILES APART.

WE AREN'T INTO EITHER STATE FAIR, BUT INSTEAD ARE FOCUSED ON THE "SPRINT" HOME TO WISCONSIN. THE FIRST LEG OF THE SPRINT IS COMING TOGETHER NICELY WITH UNCLE NEIL TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A GREEN BAY OUTING, SOMETHING ABOUT A BIG TREE REMOVAL FROM HIS YARD, SOUNDS LIKE AN INTERESTING BLOG ALREADY!! OF COURSE UNCLE HANS HAD TO POINT OUT THAT HE AND UNCLE NEIL WERE TAKING MY VACATION FOR ME AND DOING SOME MOTORCYCLING AND "TWO GUYS WITH A BANNER".

OTHER STOPS ON THE FIRST LEG OF THE "SPRINT" INCLUDE VISITING THE COLORADO KIDS IN DENVER. WE'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE WEST MANY TIMES AND HAVE ALWAYS AVOIDED INTERSTATE 70 BECAUSE OF TOWING THE TRAILER, BUT THIS TRIP WITH THE HONDA HAS US TAKING INTERSTATE 70 AND THE ROCKIES!!! YAHOO !!!

WE'RE ALL SET UP AT THE GUEST HOUSE ON CABLE LAKE IN SPOONER, DINNER WITH PAULIE IN PAHRUMP, SOME TIME IN DANNY'S CABIN, THE BADGER BAR AND THE PACKERS VS THE COWBOYS, MARY'S 40TH CLASS REUNION, SHRIMP AT THE LOGAN, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE WILL POP UP?

THE SECOND LEG OF THE "SPRINT"? WELL LET'S JUST SURVIVE THE FIRST LEG FIRST AND THEN WE'LL GET TO THAT.........
