Skol Vikings

Italia!!!

I can not wait.
The time is ticking a way faster then I can imagine.
Going to Italia tomorrow with 4 wonderful people!
It's a long plane ride, but the rewards of seeing a new country is well worth it.
The time will fly by as we are there.
Then it's back home and to work again.
These once a year excursions are fun, but it would be nice to have a couple of these a year!
I'll post some pics when I get back

Ciao

OctoberFest 2007

Here we go again. The air is getting cooler, football season has started. It's an odd numbered year.
It all adds up to my companies OctoberFest! Three days of customers coming through our doors and seeing what we have to offer. It is going to be a crazy, stressful, tiring, but great time.

If you have the opportunity to drop by and say hello, that would be great.
Here's the link to the event.

Did I mention that there will be FREE food and beverages!
Yes that does include Beer.

p.s. the one item that I am very excited about is the introduction of a product that I have been working on since May of this year. It is a measurement interface to a Haas machine tool. We will be able to make changes to the Haas machine tool via the measurement station at a cost starting at $9,995.00. Similar systems start at $25,000.00. I believe that we will show our customers that we have many ways to save them money.

Silly and Fun Sports Blog

Below is a fun, yet fictitious blog.
I find Gerby's time on Barreiro's show a fun little ditty.
Good luck Gerby and the rest of the Packer Nation.

Mike Vick Finally Admits

It's great to hear that Mike Vick finally has admitted to dog fighting. Now we will see how the whole federal case will end up. Will they also nail him on gambling/racketeering? What will the NFL do? Will he ever play again? Will the Falcons ask for there money back?

Mike you have proven that you and your brother are both big dumb hillbillies! Good luck to you. I hope that you share a cell with a dog lover!

Summer Time Colds

It's bad enough getting a cold in the dead of winter.
But getting one Mid-August really bums me out!
That's exactly what is happening now.
First the sour throat, I could barely talk to my customers!
Then the sinus getting all fucked up.
Let's not forget the sinus headaches, and just how little sleep you actually get.

The only positive about this summer time cold is that I was able to watch the kick ass lightning storm roll through at 3am this morning.
I'm gonna have to miss a motorcycle ride that I really wanted to go on. It's really hard to sneeze and blow your nose with a full face helmet on. Hopefully this cold will blow through my body like that storm blew through the metro area last night.
Hard and Fast baby!

Stay healthy if you can and take those vitamins! I really think that they help.
Try to rest, if you can.
Hopefully I'll smell you later!

35 W Bridge Disaster

I am glad to say that everyone that I know and love where not at this disaster!
To everyone who had a friend or family member there, my thoughts are with you at this time of grief.

Cabin Facelift

As you can see we like to relax at the cabin!
Having a beer, next to the lake and a fire!













Now we can see the lake even better from inside of the cabin. I can't believe the difference that this makes!

The 13th Annual Minnesota Vikings Ride For Life

Today is the 13th. annual ride for life.
It is hosted by the Vikings.
Last year there was 13 miles of motorcycles that rode to Hinkley

Interesting Website being pushed by the state

Minnesota has started to push through all forms of media the website code ready.
www.codeready.org
I find this very interesting.
There are items that can and will help you out in case of an emergency.
Is there something that is going to happen that we do not know about yet?
Let me know what you think!

Fathers Day Fishing Event

We had a wonderful fathers day fishing weekend up at Lake Gogabik in the U.P. of Michigan.
This is just a few of the fish that we kept.
We stayed at RJ's Root Cellar they have great food.
We had Bear as our fishing guide.
Both come highly recommended.
If you want more info on either let me know.

Thank you JN and PN for the great weekend!!!
I will remember the time with you all for a long time. This was a very special fathers day for me!

Happy Birthday Sis!

That little white ball

Golf...
A pleasurable and utterly frustrating past time.
1st. off I am NOT a good golfer at all.
2nd. I really enjoy being with my friends outside playing golf.
I really wish that I would be better at this little past time.
It will happen over time. But I am a person that likes things to happen at warp speed. Every time that I go out to play I get a little better. I keep telling myself. I have many years to keep getting better and being with my friends on beautiful days in MN! So here's to the endeavor of a hole in one. Or maybe I should start out with a birdie first! Have fun and enjoy life anyway that you can, and make sure that you are with friends and loved ones!!!

Time To Begin

I guess it is time to start down the blog-o-sphere realm.
I will try to keep you all up to date in the life and times of Trouble and those I love.

Here's what I am currently listening to.



The Cult pretty much rocks about as hard as you can get!

I'm thinking about getting on the Motor cycle here shortly.
So I will work on this again later!
