Heck, I just want to see his soda refrigerator. I figure Pepsi just parks a semi at the end of his driveway. :)

Sorry I will miss you.
Don't know if I would feel comfortable staying in your house, you know, a man's home is his castle.
Certainly appreciate the offer. I'll think about it.

I may fish Friday, Saturday, and Sunday till noon, then head home.
I don't get out much, and need to take full advantage of the opportunity.

Fyi,

I have been following the post. Ann and I and Addie will be there but will be staying at the Dirty Turtle marina. We have room for about 4 comfortably and my brother should be there with room on his boat for another 5 or so. Both of us staying at the marina on the boat. I got a new job so I might be able to sneak out early on that Friday and get up there otherwise it will be later in the day Friday.

OK, fill us in. Where is the Dirty Turtle marina?

New employer, or new job title?

itwon'tletmein--- Thanks for the offer, but this will be a fishing weekend for me. Not camping. Don't want to haul the gear, cook,and spend the time to set up, etc.

I want a cheap motel with a fridge, microwave, and a diner near by.

Tomorrow I'm gonna call the Pinewood Motel in Siren, unless you have a recommendation.

The dirty turtle is on Castle Rock right next door. We will spend our time with the group, and this will open up a different type of boating experience for those who are interested. It is actually connected to Petenwell but you can't cross over I don't believe.

As for the job, it is a new position with a new company. 15 yrs at my current job and I just had to do something different.

The dirty turtle. It took the new wife some getting used to as you have to walk threw the bar to get to the showers. Yes, there are showers in the bar. (No windows or mirrors you sicko's, and no I don't bare arse it for you preverts out there.) I am usually there on vacation so I seldom make it past the bar without at least a pit stop. Flipp flopps, a towel, shaving kit, and sometimes a bloodly mary. Owned, operated and staffed by fine Americans. :) One of my best friends from what is soon to be my former job has a cabin about a mile from there. Might have to break hopps with him too.

Roscoe, as for a para-military force assisting in a turn of the century portage, I have some doubts. :) But I am "willing to learn".

Pointer, no para-military forces here, they are the real McCoy, pun intended.

Fort McCoy serves as a support installation, a ready and capable mobilization site, and is the Army's only facility focused on providing Total Force Training. Fort McCoy's primary mission is providing for the training and ensuring the readiness of America's reserve- and active-component armed forces. The post also is one of 15 Army power-projection platforms.

At 35,000 troops strong, I hear they really like building mobile bridges.

And launching rockets.

And airlifts.

Anyone planning on bringing friends and relatives to the lake?

I have talked with about a dozen people, and all are noncommittal.
A couple are very interested, but likely will not decide until that week.

Put a note up on the bulletin board at work. We will see.
