Merry Christmas 2007
Self Employment: Work 80hrs a week for myself so you don’t have to
work 40hts a week for someone else.
Some
Adventures:
Royal
Flush: As you all probably know I have been on a marathon remodel of my
house. In January Burton, Dan and a
friend Kris Davidson helped me install hard
wood flooring. It looked great for a week! J Unfortunately I had to
remove the floor have a ditch 4 foot wide and 4 feet deep through out the house
to replace the sewer line. Ergo; the Royal Flush on a lot of
money. What ever happened to the Out Houses?
Hello
World: I got a new niece Samantha Feb 15th Owners Dan & Kim
Charron.
Panama Red: Early February I had a job in Panama
City. Saw the Canal and Old Panama, also went to
carnival in Old Panama.
Family Basketball: The family visit in February over the NBA
All Star Game. Like Mary and Joseph there was no room at the Inn,
So they came to the stable AKA my house for a weekend. Concrete floor still
drying and no kitchen we hosted Mom, Bruce, Father George, Loraine, Hubert,
Karen, Rob, Carmen, Sharon, Eric, and Myself. Burt and family stayed at Dan’s
but left his camper to help out. Karen and Rob escaped to such 
said
camper after they were ejected physically from a futon armed with a cleverly
designed air matters ejection 
system.
Thank all.
Panama Again: After the annual family visit I had to go to
work. I spent several weeks in Panama City
installing a roulette machine at the Hippodrome. This was my first visit to a
Horse Race Track.
Grand
Theft Auto: Dan and I set up for a gaming show in Phoenix
got to hang with Burton, Linda
and the kids. While at a resort restaurant some on tried to steal my car. I
interrupted the thief grabbed the camera and chased the car while calling the
police. I took the culprits license plate and followed him until he hit
120mph’s and the police said they had no one to send. He is still on the lamb
but nothing was missing except my door lock.
5th Annual Wisconsin
Fishing Opener: Once again Scott Visger hosted the annual WI fishing
Opener. Missing this year was Jeff Kolstad AKA Vegas, but we filled his spot
with Hubert’s son in law Robert Nelson. Bruce landed a wall hanger and I am
sure you will all hear about it. Foxy is preserving it for prosperity. Thanks
Dave.
Boda de Rogers: Roger
tied the knot with Angelina in Cartagena
Colombia on
June 9th. Mom, Bruce, Leslie,
Callie and I were able to make the trip and partake in the festivities. Cartagena
is a very romantic beautiful city, and the fort is a must see. The Paternina
family was most hospitable. The family was mobbed by the vendors on the beach
so much so that they rarely saw the beach. We took a day to go to a resort Island
by fast boat. The island was a tropical beauty we snorkeled explored and had a
great time. The wedding was beautiful and Roger actually looked presentable?
Suriname and
DR: I had the opportunity to go to Paramaribo
Suriname and
weather a rain storm. Suriname
has very old architecture and no buildings are very tall. Most of the residence
are from some place else. I spent a week at a luxury resort in the Dominican
Republic with beaches, snorkeling, sun, food
and shows. I got to hang with a friend I met in panama Hector Delgado.
Wild Hogs: Ten of us took the Harley’s out for a spin through
northern California for a few
days. The rides and everyone who partook were awesome. I spent most of the time
Gerry rigging the shovel head to keep it on the road. The shovel made it but
unfortunately Dr. Pelant took a quite dinger early in
the ride and had to finish the ride on a hospital bed in Rice
Lake. Hope all is well doc and thanks to all for
the ride.
Hubert & Loraine’s 50th:
Hubert & Loraine Livingston celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary in Rice Lake
on Sept 9th. What a party! Felt like the whole Famn
Damily was there. Congratulations looking forward to
the 75th.
Whaling
In Alaska:
Paul Vic once again was a gracious host to us from the Midwest.
High lights consisted of catching a whole mess of fish were bumping into Walter
Mondale on several occasions, and chasing whales. Whales look really big when
they are 20 feet from the skiff.!
