Ryder visits with Mom and Dad

Cuteness blew into town this last week, stayed with Chase and Taylor for a couple nights, visited the Harvey family and was certified "a perfect baby" by all.  Thanx go out to his mom and dad for sharing their families time with us all.  Looking forward to seeing them all again soon.

Backyard at Chase and Taylor's.  Chase grilled up some great food to end a perfect, but all too short visit.

Appleton 2011 with Jim

The wind blew, the jigs flew, the results were kool, what's new?

  We kept 11 walleyes and six northerns.

One last tree..one last incident

I did the last tree alone along with a stump removal.  Went good but there is always something when you remove a total of 9 van loads of debris and wood off the hill-side.

Now for the incident, or incidents.  I wanted to remove the old stump from the previous tree hanging over the house...very rotten was the tree Skywalker.  Sawed and dug and then van, poor results, but discovered rusted metal on hitch.  Then a come-a-long with chain and cable, that went good.  Then moving the stump with the golf-cart...mixed results.  All in all it was 5 weeks of clearing etc and now finished.
