Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n

We are getting a little much needed rain this morning. According to the USGS gauge by Kosir’s we have only had 1\/2″ of rain in August. Driving to town yesterday the corn fields really were showing the drought stress with either brown corn stalks or curled up leaves. I haven’t had to cut the grass in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

The weekend weather looks nice once the rain clears out Saturday morning. Look for highs in the low 80s and lows in the low 60s. There is a chance of rain again Sunday afternoon into Monday. We could use it.<\/p>\n

This weekend there are a couple of events.<\/p>\n

First up is the Marinette Co fair in Wausaukee. That started last night and runs through the weekend. Here is a link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow the Chute Pond Snowmobile Club is sponsoring a car show called Mountain Motor Madness. More than just cars will be there. They will show pretty much anything with a motor.. bikes, tractors, whatever. They have raffles and stuff too. Here is\u00a0 link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is also a car\/Truck\/motorcycle ride to benefit Wabeno & Laona schools. They leave the Pour House in Lakewood, take a 100 mile ride and end up at Golden Eagle Pizza in Townsend for a pork roast dinner. Here is a link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is also an end of summer party this weekend at Kosir’s & Rapids Resort. There will be live music Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Over Labor Day weekend the Wall That Heals will be in Crivitz. It is a 3\/4 scale model of the VietNam memorial wall. Here is a link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Someone asked about the date for the soup and chili fest in Silver Cliff. Chris reminded me that it is keyed off of the 4th Saturday in September. We have 5 Saturdays this year that would put it on the 22nd not the 29th. I will update if that changes.<\/p>\n

We have had a little cooler weather this week. A couple of the nights were downright cold. I didn’t start the wood burner but it was close one night. Sunday morning was a cool one and I got this picture of fog coming off of the lake as the cooler air came across the warmer lake water. It was very cool to see.<\/p>\n

Strictly from commercial..<\/em><\/p>\n

I finished up a pretty new web site for the Twin Bridge Resort this week. Take a look. They have a very nice place and the food is excellent. Here is a link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can tell that it is going to be a busy weekend. The Verizon\/Cellcom cell phone based internet is already slowing down and it isn’t even noon on Friday.<\/p>\n

That is it for today. Time for me to go and run between the rain drops and try to make a living. Have a great weekend and thank you for visiting!<\/p>\n
