Harv-2

Beautiful Wisconsin early autumn day. 68 degrees, couple of clouds here and there. There is an Octoberfest going on in La Crosse. Big four day beer party describes it best. Event is very near the U of Wisc. La Crosse campus. Need I say more. Each year they pull a couple of dead college kids out of the Mississippi. Party grounds are right on the river.There is also a "Cran-fest." A huge celebration of the end of the cranberry season. Little village called Warrens in western Wisconsin. 850 crafts vendors and 350 swap meet venders selling junk. This thing is huge. Last 3 days. Been going on better than 20 years. Billed as the biggest "swap-meet" in the world. Warrens, by the way, has a population of 12. Normally it is tiny. OK, 350 residents. That's small. Can you imagine keeping your business private? They even know when you go to the bathroom. Welcome to rural america
For about 4 hours today I was playing Paul Bunyan. Had my chain saws out and cut up some downed trees. Then hauled my wood splitter out of my shed and split up the wood. Only got wounded a couple of times. Nothing serious. Stacked all the wood too. Now we have wood for the fireplace(s) for winter. Doesn't save much on the heating bills but it's nice to have a fire going on the cold snowy days. I have gotten to the point where I can do without the cold though.
Enough for now. Wife made a chicken casserole for dinner. Weight Watchers!! YUK. It works though. We are lifetime members and put on a few so now we have to take them off.
Adios for now.
