On the way home...

Off of old Wisconsin SR26 on Lake Koshkonong...



Mounds don't photograph well...



Flowers do!

A nice little side trip. Many years ago, the wife and I discovered the Cahokia Mounds as a side jaunt on the way home from St. Louis.

As a matter of fact, I like beer...

It makes me a jolly good fellow!

Consensus my ass...


Over 30,000 signatures on the following:


"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate."

2:00 am comes early, and with mixed emotions...

Ethan and Ward

are hard to get started, but Dad loads 'em up!

Loaded up and truckin'

On to Wisconsin!

That's youngest daughter on the left; Mrs hoosiertoo is driving.
SiL found a job in Wisconsin and is moving his family north.

The missus is going along to help out.

A goodly percentage of the people I care most about in this world
are headed for Wisonsin. I pray that the Lord watch over and keep them.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Shot w/cell phone...sorry!
One of my all time favorite books. I can't see a carnival come to town without
thinking of Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show.

Woohoo.


What I got for getting system certified.
Now I can toss a ratty t-shirt.
(My idea of dressing up is a new t-shirt and clean jeans.)

Um, here I am...

****
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I really haven't felt like playing on the blogs.

It's not as if my life has been mundane of late - there is actually no shortage of material for any number of posts - but my desire to document the doings has been nearly nil.

I hope to work my way back into the swing of things, so expect more regular posting (like I've ever been meticulous about posting regularly) and thank-you to kel and 2nd gen for checking up on me.

I did take some pics and they will be posted in more-or-less chronological sequence.

I actually bought a new camera during the hiatus; it's a 10 megapixel GE with face recognition and other goodies. It doesn't make me a better photographer, but it did ensure that I would have to get different cables to upload the pics from the camera.

Anyway, I apologize for the long absence. Pictures to come soon!

Blogging is not my life...

Rather obviously.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I really haven't felt like saying anything. It's not as if my life has been mundane of late - there is actually no shortage of material for any number of posts - but my desire to document the doings has been nearly nil.

I hope to work my way back into the swing of things, so expect more regular posting (as if I've ever been meticulous about posting regularly) and thank you to kel and 2nd gen, who prodded me awake again.

3-1/2 hours from home...

The Schnitzelbank is a restaurant in Jasper, IN. It is my
wife's favorite restaurant in the whole world. So, for our
anniversary (the 8th) and Mothers Day (the 10th) she got
to go to Jasper. My mother (HER Mothers Day present)
and Father met us. Including shopping in St. Meinrad, we
had 7-1/2 hours driving just to eat out. My parents had
6-1/2 hrs themselves!

One for the Lizard Queen over the Magic Negro.
First Dem ballot I ever cast in the primary.
I need a bath now.

At Elise's birthday party

parties on my grandkids' ACTUAL BIRTHDAYS.
