Homecoming dances; Out west adventures; Paddling trips and what? .... Surgery.
.
Not to dampen any ones spirits, but it has been raining here in Wisconsin; a much needed rain, but when it rains it pours.
.
Big week for me as the girls are returning to Lake Mills - WOO HOO!!
.
Marissa coming out for the Lake Mills High School Homecoming gala; Emily coming home from a whirlwind adventure in St. Louis and Las Vegas -
photos (participating in medical field work experiences); Me getting ready to settle in and watch the
NCC and the
Iron Mushroom Challenges; Along with the final planning for our 5 day Wisconsin River Trip. - Questions loom, not sure of my level of participation; shuttle boy comes to mind.
.
But just to make things interesting I'll throw in a quickened (I have an obstruction) surgery. So I will be under the crusted spoon and have a
Ventral Hernia repaired on Wednesday, They will be putting in some chain linked fencing for good measure.
.
Just another day in the life of an aging broken down Lilly dipper paddle duffer.
.
The Capt'n
Ventral hernia repair went well; Home now recovering setting up for some excitement with the Iron Mushroom and NCC challenges this weekend.
I can't say that the Cats were having much fun floating around under a postponement flag, but I sure was; glass like conditions made for a glorious paddle. The wind did build in the afternoon and they got a couple of races off, but not before I blazed past them with 36 sq feet of mylar..... and a paddle.
John and I paddle / sailed Mendota up to Picnic Point; that is the state capitol in the background. The second season of paddling is upon us and I am loving it. If you have never experienced Autumn and the fall colors, you are missing out on one of nature's most spectacular times.
The Labor Day weekend is upon us; the last push for summer dwellers in the area. Those of us that live here year round look forward to the second season, Indian summer - the harvest.
