April 18
Another weekend coming to an end. I have to find a way to make these longer! Friday night I went down to Milwaukee. Spent some time with Mom and had the chance to spend some time with Al Miller. We went out for a pizza to my old Bay View neighborhood and one of the DeMarinni’s restaurants. Good as ever. And then for a couple of beers to the Sugar Maple on the southside. 60 American micro brews on tap, awesome.
Saturday some time with Mom and got home in the afternoon. I always have these things in my mind that need to get done so I went to work in the yard. There were strong north winds blowing in off the lake that made it pretty cool. But I made a lot of progress yesterday and today. Of course no one other than me will notice most of what I spent my time on. But it feels good to have it done. And I fit in a trip to Fleet Farm along the way. One night the Bayliner gets a new battery put in. And I found the lawn mower has a throttle problem and probably needs to go into the shop. So the projects always continue. But I stopped this evening for a cigar, a steak and asparagus on the grill. And now I am relaxed. I just need another day! But Monday will be back to work. I guess I should be happy for that, it pays for my fun. And we filled the position that has been empty the last couple of months, so after a couple of weeks of training I should start to get some help.
Wisconsin is supposed to be a little warmer this week than it was this weekend. but it is still April so we should be happy with what we have. It is tempting to start to plant, but we did have temps in the 30’s last night so need to wait. And I get to look forward to Chris coming home from New Mexico on Thursday. I am sure Marie will miss her but I will welcome her home.
So I hope your weekend was great! Life is good, enjoy.
