Made it though another week and weekend!  The weather has been beautiful.  We have taken advantage and gotten a lot done over the last week.  The trailers are parked for the winter, the pontoon is out and both boats are cleaned and covered.   The docks are all out and the boat lift in winter place.   So probably the most I have ever had done without doing it in some snow or at least cold rain.

We made it to Milwaukee Friday night.  Met Al Miller, Noel and Jo Ann, Tiff and Steve for a couple of beers and pizza.  They got a head start on us as we stopped by Mom first, and they rubbed it in by going to one of my new favorites, the Sugar Maple.  They have a fantastic tap list of American Micro Brews.   After pizza at DeMarrini’s,  I had the chance to try the Palm Tavern,  owned by the same people as the Sugar Maple and another great tap list dominated by Belgians.  An old south side tavern on KK avenue near Oklahoma.   Not where you would expect to find great beer!

We spent some time with Mom,  who is doing great, and had a chance to stop and see Muriel.  Then home to get some of that work done.  The weather was enjoyable,  last night I was out late in short sleeves with a campfire, burning up some brush.

So now the start of another work week.  Made it through Monday, my worst day of the week!   We are looking for a newer car for me.  The Focus is getting tired, so time to find something else to put most of the miles on.  I really like the newer Malibu’s.   Will see what we can come up with in our price range.

Homebrew club exec board meeting this week,   and we are having the Taurus Investment Club annual meeting Wednesday night.  That is the night we take the significant others out for an open bar and good meal.  Years ago we had bar bills over $1000, now with higher prices we have the meal and bar less than that!  An older smaller club.  But it is still good to get together with them and relax.  The annual meeting used to be to start the year, but now we need to do it before some retired members leave town, and in good driving weather!

So have yourself a good week.  We must have less than a month we have to listen to political advertising……
