Heading up to the Port Wash webcam to start my chase for the most icons in a day – should be able to easily beat my current high of 6 that I got at the spring WGA campout.  My 1st Ba$h!

I have time for a nap before the prize drawings at the Cache Ba$h.

I think there is a WGA Event this morning.

I saw Mickey and a bunch of pirates.  I hope the Bash and Breakfast were fun.  I have requested for vacation in order to go to the fall picnic, but it has not been approved….yet.  I hope there is still some WGA swag left to purchase.

Johnny Baier is coming to Oshkosh on Sept. 15th. Ya hear that, Trekkin’? He got his banjo start playing at Shakey’s Pizza in Oshkosh and Fond du Lac in the 70’s. I remember a banjo player back then, but didn’t know he would become known as “the best”. Tickets are $35 for dinner/show at the Elk’s Theatre in Oshkosh.

Sorry for the useful information!

Checking in. Mid-90s for a week. No sense to this, but mosquitoes are absolutely horrible. You can be standing in the middle of our mowed, 1-acre yard in full blazing sun, no water around, no shade around and be swarmed by dozens on mosquitoes. It reminds me of walking into the cedars at Wells Park (MI) except there isn’t water, shade or cedar. Just blood suckers. I should’ve taken a picture of Mr SL’s legs, they were black with bugs!

WGA visit #2 at Riding Shotgun Travel Bug University yesterday! Sandlanders stopped in for a chat and a meal (for the mosquitoes). Good meeting them and hearing people that talk like us! HP2 has been out here…who’s going to be next?

Spent the week commuting “over the mountain” for a grad class. Funny how just 60 miles can make such a difference in flora. Had a pile of solved puzzles from that area, and only found two (one was a dump water into a tube puzzle) with a “I think it’s gone DNF” on another one.

Got an email today, a FTF on one of the caches I placed two weeks ago. The finders are in the country for Going Ape next weekend, from Czech Republic. Amazing how someone can come all this way and get a FTF! Too bad they didn’t take a right turn, they could’ve had four more, including one on a multi-cache.

Anyway, the gearing up for the next school year has started. Three days of math meetings starting tomorrow. Sports practices start tomorrow. My boss called me last week and wanted to know if I could help the volleyball coach out because we still don’t have a JV coach (anyone interested?). I told him I won’t be around until Thursday. Then he said I needed to monitor concussion tests this week. Could I test the kids on Tuesday? Um, no, I won’t be around until Thursday. I almost expect a call tomorrow asking if I can come in to help run some drills.

We had a rain storm go through a few days ago. First time we had rain since the last time I mentioned it rained months ago. This was a real lightning storm with heavy rain (at times). Some lightning hit very close to the house, repeatedly. Not long after the storm finished, there was a pickup at the end of our driveway. I went down and it was the forestry department. They had crews on the mountain behind us looking for fire. The teacher that lives at the end of the road had texted me saying they had a fire started on their property (they have 1000s of acres if not 10,000 acres). We could see it from our house, a little orange star on the hill that’s always in my pictures.

I went back down to see if the truck needed us to do anything or needed water, etc. They said, nope, just stay in your house for now. I asked them about the fire at the end of the road, and they had no clue. So, I pointed out the orange star on the hill. That got their attention fast! It took them all night just to find a way to get to it, but thankfully, it was just a ponderosa pine that was hit and the fire never spread.

That’s been the excitement around here.

The best sig is no sig.

Noonan … we’re headed north today but only coming as far as Bozeman.  Visiting my niece and nephew and their families.  Adding MT to my state list.

I wonder if he’s on the way to La Crosse for the Banjo Jamboree.  We’re going on the riverboat cruise again…our last local fun thing before heading to Yellowstone.  That event is Dixeland banjo, and Trekkin’ does bluegrass, so we just go to listen.

FTP for Tuesday the 16th.

I’m up to 1400 miles on Baa Baa (which I’ve decided to call the loaner, since it is a black Jeep). Dealership says that I should have Big Red by Friday. If I don’t have it back by next Monday, Baa Baa is going on vacation with us to Door County. It is a fun little vehicle to drive around.

Might need to do another State Park Cache run tomorrow.
