ugh. I can hear it and it's horrid.

I can also hear high frequency stuff coming off many of the machines here at work that bother me which most people either can't hear or are oblivious to.

<-- knows a few people who already have their ps3 preorders ready to sell.

the guy asking 5k for his will never in a million years get it. they're not in *that* much demand. although it would be nice for the few we've got left. :smile:

Hi y'all

I would highly recommend the corn maze at Afton Apple Orchard! It was tons of fun...3 different phases of increasing difficulty...printed the $1 off coupons from their website. Hours of fun for $6!!!!! Plus did some geocaching at St Croix Bluff Regional Park........beautiful park!!! :ooh: :ooh:

And I saw your log for trifall treeflow. Beautiful location there.

my point zeph was you get a signed copy and the Historical Society gets a donation of the cut if it's purchased through me or down here.

$19 signed

Don't look like anybody bought it on the signing day. Penny and I made it down there. Kinda feel important now. First time I've ever attended a book signing

um Mikey- we sold out of 100 books and had a full house

every history nerd came out

did you hear him talk too?

I meant from the CoolerCrew. I saw one lady buy 12 books she said she had reserved. Yea I heard the speech, and left shortly after they started serving the food.

Well there's your first mistake, Mikey! You leave AFTER the food is served!

DUH!

That was weird. I just seen this lady hanging out on my dock here at work. (We let the Grand Hotel use our dock for deliveries and VIPs)

I'm not a fan of recent but I still thought it was pretty cool seeing someone of her stature.


By the time I flew down to my car to get my camera and come back all I could get was her entourage leaving the building for tonight's show down the road in the 'other' city.

My brother in law, suffered a stroke earlier this year. He has exhausted his health benefit coverage and retirement savings. He remains in rehab and every day the funds have come from their pockets. Their home needs extensive remodeling work to be made handicap accessible.

Two fundraisers are being held for Steve, this coming Sat. Oct 28, 2006, 1 - 7pm. at Tavern in the Grove - Maple Grove (see attached flyer) and

Sat. Nov. 11, 2006 7 - midnight. JRA building Maple grove

Both benefits will feature live music and food, See attached flyer. Please consider attending.

Thank you from us all

hmm - interesting article. I can't tell you how glad I am, that when the market was really really up, I was smart and didn't try to take a bunch of equity out of my house and owe on it.

It would really suck to owe more than the house is worth.

I'm a little worried now about when I sell my Grandparents house in Vallejo. I may just have to keep it for a while, esp since the property taxes are frozen from 1978 so $389 or so dollars a year.

One could look at the opposite and say that they're glad they were able to draw on some equity that they needed that might not necessarily be there now

yes, but had I - and then wanted to sell, I'd be in a world of hurt.

I got my house for $217k. In January (4 years later) It appraized for $525k. It's already fallen to $470k.

Mr. Med Hunter

I met Jake for lunch today and we are thinking about putting on a fall Mock Hunt if there is enough interest. We are also wondering if people would be interested in doing a $10 registration fee similar to AW's to create a bigger prize. We are thinking about starting the hunt on or around Nov. 10 and having it end just prior to Thanksgiving. Please feel free to let us know your thoughts!

I'm not planning to go to this but thought I'd put it out there for anyone with nothing to do yet - I thought it was funny that drinks would be on the house if Birk scored --- the boy's NEVER had a touchdown!
