Bergland Bay Bar

Weather: Rainy day, good day to kick back, drink beer and watch my brother and nephew put stuff away at Mom’s house.

Thank you Becker, Dave and Brent for unloading the U-Haul. I went out for Pizza and when I came back most of the U-Haul was unloaded. Holy crap, they kicked ass.

Biggest problem we have had so far is finding the remote for the Sleep Number Bed. Thought we were going to get it together so Mom could sleep in her bed, no such luck. Oh well it will probably show up as soon as we order a replacement.

The Elderly Retired Veteran With A Smart Wife
 
Early one morning an elderly retired veteran just finished   a   piece of artwork he had been working on and yelled to his wife,
” Honey ! Come see what I created ! It’s an abstract panorama depicting the   six years of the Obama Administration ! ”
 
She yelled back, ” Flush the toilet Herman and come eat your breakfast ! “

Weather: Beautiful, just fricken Beautiful.

There’s no place like home.  Especially if you live in the UP, man I am glad to be back. 9 hours and 45 minutes from Mom’s house in Demotte In. to Bergland driving a U-Haul and pulling her car on an auto transport through Chicago with fricken road construction every which way we turned. Not too bad, and we took 41 and 45 north most of the way. Nice scenery and a different way to go.

That’s about all for now, here is a funny for ya……..

Weather: Who cares, I just want to go home.

A day ahead of schedule down here in lovely Indiana, now to just get Mom and me home. The lady at the liquor store told me Bush Light is a premium beer down here, how screwed up is that? I sell it cheaper in the bar than it cost in the liquor store down here. I guess if that is the only thing I have to bitch about I am doing pretty good.

The plane ride down was interesting, smallest plane I was ever on. 4 hour delay in takeoff but not Ironwood fault, bad weather in Chicago had things backed up. Kudos to the Captain who kept pushing Chicago to let us leave. The airport cooked us pizza because we were so late. Only in the UP my friends.

Well it is 5am and I have been up for an hour,  came to brother Pats to sleep last night in Portage, hard to sleep when you got lots on your mind, as soon as everyone wakes up it will be back to Demotte to finish loading and then UP bound.

Waiting at the Ironwood Airport, plane is delayed because of weather in Chicago. Nothing to do but wait. Damn, the parking lot is filling up.

 

Weather: Looks like a crappy week ahead.

Good time to leave the UP, crappy weather this week, oh wait, it is going to be worse in Indiana where I am going. No better time to get Mom packed up and get her the hell out of there.

I will not have internet access this week so I guess you can say I am taking a vacation from the web site.

Weather: Cloudy and 70’s again.

Tequila last night again too. I had a good time yesterday putting a hurt on a bottle of Patrone with My Uncle Dale. He also sent me home with some hot ass chili he made. This morning has not been pretty, I think the chili was hotter coming out than it was going in. Time to pack and get read to Fly to Mom’s tomorrow in Indiana to pack up the U-Haul and move her into her new house. By next Sunday we should be grilling steaks out on her deck.

The other day I went over to a nearby CVS Pharmacy.   When I got there, I went straight to the back of the store to where the Pharmacists’ Counter is located.   I took out my little brown bottle along with a teaspoon and laid them both onto the counter.   The pharmacist came over smiled and asked if he could help me.   I said, “Yes!  Could you please taste this for me?”   Being I’m a senior  citizen…I guess the Pharmacist just went along with me.   He picked up the spoon and put a tiny bit of the liquid on his tongue and swilled it around.   Then with a stomach-churning look on his face he spit it out on the floor and began coughing.   When he finally was finished, I looked him right in the eye asked, “Now, does that taste sweet to you?”   The pharmacist, shaking his head back and forth with a venomous look in his eyes yelled, “HELL  NO!!!”   So I said, “Oh thank God! That’s such a relief!  My doctor told me to get a pharmacist to test my urine for sugar!”   Well, I can never go back to that CVS, but I really don’t care though, because; they aren’t very friendly there anyway!!!

Weather: Cloudy and 70’s.

Tequila last night, big head this morning. But what fun it was kicking back in the garage listening to tunes and drinking away. What a gorgeous night it was, it doesn’t get any better than that up here. Well if Becker didn’t have to work we could have been out on the pontoon.

Well I gotta go in and work my 2 hours this morning, then it will probably be back to Mom’s sitting in the garage drinking some more of those cold bush lights.

Weather: Sunny and 70’s.

Big Mable was delivered by UPS today, now all we need are Rug Rats to take out on the Pontoon. Big Mable is a 2 person towable, not that we can go tubing behind the Pontoon, but it is 2 extra seats. I worked on the garage at Mom’s yesterday while Becker swam in the Lake and cleared rocks from the shore. I think the garage got christened too LOL. PS don’t tell Mom.

For your enjoyment

 

Weather: Cloudy and 70 again.

Weather looks good for the weekend, a great time to be in the UP. Not much going on though, getting ready to go down to Mom’s and get her packed up and drive the U-Haul to her new house. I’ve heard of a few more bigger Walleyes being caught, by bigger I mean over 15″, there is talk of possibly lowering the minimum size limit to 13″ like it was some 20 years ago. 

I am at a loss on what to write today, all I can say for sure is that not much is going on up here right now, boring or uneventful some may say. But to me it is Peaceful, That’s the way I like it.

 

A BLONDE JOKE THAT YOU’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE .. After becoming very frustrated with the attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the young blonde declared, ‘Well, then, maybe I’ll just go out and catch my own alligator and get a pair of alligator shoes for free!’ The shopkeeper replied with a sly smile, ‘Well, little lady, why don’t you go give it a try?’ The blonde headed off to the swamp, determined to catch an alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper was driving home, and spotted the young woman standing waist deep in the murky water, shotgun in hand. He saw a huge 9-foot gator swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning reflexes, the blond took aim, shot the creature and hauled it up onto the slippery bank. Nearby were 7 more dead gators all lying belly up. The shopkeeper watched in amazement as the blond struggled with the gator. Then, rolling her eyes, she screamed in frustration . .. “Sonofabitch!! THIS ONE’S BAREFOOT, TOO!” .

Weather: Cloudy and 70.

Forth of July week is coming soon. And that means a huge rug rat party. Sounds like the grand kids are all coming. So Grampa Tom had to go buy water toys. Rafts, towables, hopefully the weather will be nice. Mom’s house will get broke in right with 8 or so of them running around.
