Some places aren&#8217;t bad for gators (mosquitoes), some are. I used up all of my stashed cans of Repel in the past few weeks and got tagged 6.79 for a can tonight. Owie. Don&#8217;t tell the retailer, but it is still worth the money if you hit a cloud of &#8217;em.<\/p>\n<p>People that like to go out prowling for bargains will like all of the rummage sale and garage sale signs that I have been seeing the past few days. There were plenty of them so you shouldn&#8217;t have to wander far to find some bargains.<\/p>\n<p>There is a 20-30% chance of showers or storms tomorrow night as a little disturbance from a low pressure area up in Canada comes our way.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t look like much on the models, but with some sun and convection it could turn into some rain. Right now the TV weather channel is showing a line of light showers that sort of scatters as it comes our way. The GFS is showing it a little more robust than that, but mostly after dark.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that the weekend looks very nice. Until Sunday afternoon we are expecting fair weather and temps in the low to mid-80s.<\/p>\n<p>The skies should be fairly clear for star gazing, but it was a full moon Wednesday. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anythingwisconsin.com\/solunar.htm\" target=\"_blank\">solunar tables<\/a> moonrise is at 9:48 Friday, and 10:28 Saturday. Sunset is at 8:45 both days.<\/p>\n<p>Along that line, there is some cool stuff happening this weekend in stargazing.<a href=\"http:\/\/stardate.org\/nightsky\" target=\"_blank\"> Take a look<\/a> if you are into that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>One last thought.. When I was going to Crivitz at about 5pm all of the road crews had cleared out of the construction zone between Crivitz and Wausaukee. It is still a construction zone, so watch out for those double fines.\u00a0 They are progressing well with the passing lanes, and should be done with that phase of construction in a few weeks. It will be very nice to have those passing lanes when they are done.<\/p>\n<p>That is about it from here. Have fun and be safe this weekend, and thank you for visiting!<\/p>\n<p>RJB<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings and welcome! The big weekend is almost here.
