Quote of the Day.

You're never wrong to the do the right thing.  

- Mark Twain

Hairball, Eagan, MN


I couldn't have predicted that I would be in a church/school parking lot watching this band, giving all of their energy and such a performance to the audience. But, it all came true. Hats off to the band for an awesome show. Hopefully my ears return to normal soon. 








After a quick look at their website, it looks like these guys play mostly in the upper Midwest. However, if you ever get a chance to see them I would highly recommend it.

Late Summer Storm, Lake of the Isles, Minneapolis, MN

On the way home from a late evening end, I had to stop and get out of the car to capture some nature as it happened. 

It wasn't too easy to snap the pics, but now I know about the "burst" feature. That would have helped. 






Steamboat Days, Carver, MN

This one is hard to describe, though it has a title that would invoke boats, it seemed mostly center around automobiles. Not only was there a small show of cars parked in the downtown while you visited booths and food stands, the main attraction for the afternoon was a burnout contest house in a park nearby all the activities.






I was surprised at just how "down-home" this event and contest seemed to be. Pick-up trucks parked around the contest area and many of them became the contestants. 







You definitely can't deny that this event was unique, but I also think it lacked a certain something. This now concludes my fair season this year. Phew.

Revisit: Barker's, Hudson, WI

This place has yet to disappoint and a Friday night visit for a simple dinner couldn't upset the trend. 

Start with this...

Add a dash of a stuffed burger...


And a pinch of Green Chile Smoked Bacon Mac n' Cheese...

And one more of these...

And that's a meal fit for anyone...unless you have the gout.
