Back in Wisconsin for me.  I am thankful is has been a pretty good winter,  but I sure miss not being in Florida with the girls!   No shorts and sandals at home for me!  A couple of pictures of some manatee’s I saw in the intercoastal before I left.  A large group came through,  really neat to see.

Here we have had some light snow, and I was lucky enough to just miss some freezing rain.  Although the driveway has been a mess since I have been back.   But a couple of warm days coming up that hopefully helps to clean that up.   I have been doing some small projects here at home and staying out of trouble, honest!  And I am finally getting caught up at work, which feels good.   The bad news is our plant is slowing down which is not good overall,  but if I can catch my breath and then we pick up I will be happy.

My friends and I in our homebrew club are hoping the state legislature can pass some needed legislation to allow homebrews to legally be shared.   It is making some progress and even has both Democrat and Republican backing, which doesn’t happen often these days.  A number of articles in local papers including this one with some of my friends.  http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012201300354

And I have had some fun.  Saturday Central Waters Brewery near Steven’s Point had their 14th anniversary party. Friends Andy and Sandy let me know about it and we got a room in Steven’s Point and the Brewery ran bus’s from the brewery to the hotels,  Sweet deal.  Met some other friends and had some great beers,  I did not keep count!  They make some great dark beers and had some they tapped only for that night.

So take care, enjoy life!
