I take Mikey to every animated movie that comes out; it gives Daddy and Grandma a little bit of a break. Usually I get him set up with a freeezy drink and pop corn and half doze off, positioning myself between him and the aisle. No matter what he always tells me "Gwampa that was a great movie" But he found this film to be boring; about midway through he told me "lets go to Gramas I gotta take my bath" I don't think you could get a worse review from a five year old. | | |

Mikey got his first tackle box from Daddy today. Mine was a passed down brown rusted box that my dad put a few old wooden lures in. (I still got a couple of them). I used some of my meager funds to stock it with Abbu spinners, I caught rock bass and small pike and thought I was really a fisherman now. Mikeys daddy was awarded his first box for winning the kids division of the St. Paul Pioneer Presses fishing contest. My son has always fished circles around me, my father's father had that instinctive knowledge and feel and if that's genetic it passed me right on by. Mikey's 1st is a Spiderman box and his daddy filled it with enough stuff to get him day dreaming of catching big fishes. That's the one thing that three generations of tackle boxes all had in common. | | |

When I first started on night shift I had what I refer to as my three easy buttons. Ed on the left was a master machinist that could run any machine tool we have retired last year. Bob on the right knew everything there ever was to know about winding the big electrical motors that we build retired today. All I have left is Torgy the welder who will probably leave in the fall. I wish them all the best and a happy retirement but I'm going to miss the 125 years of experience. | | |

The weather for the most part has been too dry to find many bear tracks but I did find some solid evidence of a big one. (and yes they do do that in the woods) | | |

We have to stop and water trees often (Chewy, Ozzy and grandpa) Marvel over the pretty flowers (grandma and Mikey) Throw 'wocks in the water' (Mikey, daddy and grandpa) Roll in stinky stuff (mostly Chew) Lord only knows how but eventually we get to where were going. | | |
