m&m me!

Do I want to be a Super-hero, Super-villian, or South Park character? Nah, I'd rather be an m&m. If you want to be one too, take a look at http://www.becomeanmm.com/

Here's my cold weather biking version of my m&m persona.

It's a dogs life

Riding and Driving

Over the weekend the kids were working so my wife and I took a little time to run some errands and made a trip to Elegant Farmer. We used to take the kids there in the Fall, when they were younger, for a hay rack ride to the pumpkin patch and then back to the Barn (shop and deli) for some cider or caramel apples. On this trip we settled for a half dozen of their specialty muffins with flavors like; banana split, strawberry cream, (and many more).

The Tuesday ride was great, we had about 20 members show up and at least 3 guests. I'll miss next Tuesdays ride (Our Junker-Clunker ride and cookout), we're taking our daughter back to college. It's a 5 hr drive, one-way, so we're splitting it up over a two day period.

Just how far back does my love of biking go? Sherman, set the the WayBac machine for Dec. 25th, 1960.

I think there could be a little sizing issue, but I'm sure I grew into it.
Now if I just had that pedal car, in it's mint condition.

Fun and Food at the Fair

We had a great time at the Fair. We spent some time at the craptacular (Expo Center building with all the vendor booths, trying to sell everything from blenders to mops).

I tried out the rock climbing wall.

The Deep Fried Oreo's sign caught my attention, so I had to buy a bag.

I thought that I had seen everything either on a stick or deep fried (at the fair) but this was the first time that I had seen Deep Fried Oreo's. So $4.00 later here's what you get. It looked like a flattened powdered donut hole. But after taking a bite, you can see that there really is an Oreo inside.









We saw our share of animals too. There was a special show in the Coliseum scheduled that evening; Clydesdales.

Our State Fair

No rides yesterday or today. The wife and I are off to the Wisconsin State Fair.
