Campout Plan B
I was lucky enough to spend two days with some old friends from high school. Roy is an old hiking buddy from way back. We’ve been to the Porcupine Mountains and to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I’ve seen him two or three times since I returned to Wisconsin, most recently about a year ago Read.

fried at the muskie
Meat People was serving a special fried chicken dinner this afternoon, so My Darling B and I quit our yard work early, cleaned up and headed over to The Muskellounge and Sporting Club to enjoy some delicious cold drinks while we waited for dinner to be served. It was well worth the wait. Read.

sneaky
I had a hankering for a big plate of tater tots after work, and the one place that serves the very best tater tots in town is the Vintage brewery, where they also happen to sell their very own house-made beer. We were lucky enough to drop in when they were serving the most delicious Read.

night out
There was a special at the Muskellounge and Sporting Club last night: Meat People was selling three kinds of burritos out of a food truck in the parking lot and My Darling B wanted to eat at least one of them, so off we went. She had the beef burrito, I had the chorizo, and Read.

Dinner at Morris Ramen
A hot bowl of ramen is a dinner I will almost always say yes to, so when My Darling B suggested we drive into town yesterday afternoon for ramen I instantly agreed, and off we went. If you were to ask me for the best place in town to get ramen right now, I would Read.

The rest of the country might be open, but My Darling B and I are still in isolation here at Our Little Red House – 76 days as of today. That’s a lot of days to be isolated from everybody & everything. Full disclosure: It’s not like we’re hunkered down inside with the doors locked. Read.

dead batt
Our favorite restaurant in town reopened two weeks ago after a fire gutted their kitchen. Took them almost a full year to rebuild. They announced their reopening just as the governor closed everything down, so they had to scramble to set up an online ordering system that would allow them to provide curbside service, like Read.

jet setter
I had a hankering this morning for a plate of scrambled eggs, but we didn’t have any eggs in the fridge so I did what I usually do when I’m trying to figure out where to eat: whipped out my phone and began to virtually search the city for a place that looked like it Read.

new years eve
I thought I would have to fire up the snow blower for the first time in 2019 when I woke up in the morning of the very last day of that year to a fresh snowfall. My snow blower’s gasoline engine is reluctant to start after it’s been sitting unused all summer, so I dressed Read.
