Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

Year in review (in a word)  "Outstanding!"

What an amazing year it has been; From our adventure paddling trips  "Shell Key"; "Wisconsin River"; "Muskegan River" to Lilly dipping the pond / picnics in the park back yard adventures, one "outstanding" year.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season!

November

A great day to be out on the water; more so cause I have been down and out with a wicked cold for about a month now; water just above freezing as we had some ice on the bay last night; warm weather on the way should keep our lake open into early December.

Gotta Love Wisconsin

 Blowing snow at the local ski hill and I'm still raking leaves!!

Lesson learned

Sue-bee has big shoes to fill.

Lesson learned from when I sold the barge (Old Town Stillwater canoe) and received a beat down from daughter 1.1 for selling the first canoe we had adventures in ("Boo Dad boo").  I thought it best to bring a daughter; daughter 1.2 was available so we went vehicle shopping.

We tried this before when I had my eye on a Toyota Tacoma pick-up; Marissa shot it down in a hurry, "I can't recline the seat to sleep on road trips and I can't get my feet on the dash", so that was a no go.  We had better luck with the Subaru Forester, met all our needs and more importantly daughter approved.

So we said good bye to the jeep, ( worn and tattered as she was, brought us plenty of memories ) I was not going alone.  It was kind of an emotional moment, so many adventures, camping, climbing, sailing and paddling, drive-in movies and plenty of runs to the Kiltie for Custard, a main stay to our adventures big and small.

So enter stage right the Sue-bee Forester; a peppy little sports wagon with all wheel drive; roomy and comfortable; kinda nice having a newer vehicle that everything works.

So we will put her to the test, see if she can fill a pretty big set of shoes the jeep provided; so far so good, looking forward to our next adventure.
