Halloween Networking.

Keeping the tradition alive. 

 a spooktacular display

 The halloween parade in DBQ

 I fish when the weather is nice 

 but yesterday it was overcast and rainy and the fishing was great.

 As was the companionship.

 Networking pays off.  Mart fished on Monday am.  He called Ron who hit the stream midday and called Mart back to tell him that the stocking truck rolled in for a final fall stocking.  Marty called me and said now's the time rain or shine.

By the time we got off the stream we had each netted six trout.

Three More Murals

 I drove the Bus up to DBQ Friday afternoon.  Susie and I had plans to meet with Uncle Yummy and his gal pal Jolean, for dinner and drinks.

 I drove down the alley just off main st. and took a few pics of Windy's mural

 and the mural down at the end of the block.

Then a quick swing by Oddfellows to appreciate the art.

Bob hits the Driftless

 After entertaining a variety of invitations from cities and counties around the country, Bobtoberfest has decided to head to Wisconsin.  Where we’ll blend in with simple country folk and spread our big city charm. 

 Ready to make friends.

 Like this young lad we met in the apple orchard 

 We did ride. About 20 miles in all

 Hung with the locals

 Bob doing work

 The crew was strong

 and getting stronger

First bridge just to re group.

A RANDOM THURSDAY NIGHT

 Harps

 Remember, it’s a random Thursday night and our socks are knocked off by The Chris O’Leary Band.

 Ava and I makin faces

 I'm so glad they let both of us stay up past 9:00

Chris O'leary oh ya Dylan Doyal was there too.

HOMECOMING 2018

 Friday's parade marked the end of the 2018 Homecoming week.  Except for the game. 

 The team and the cheerleaders road on the firetruck.

 Followed by the dance team, the players mothers and 

The high school teacher decked out in full fishing gear.  Our theme was fishing for knowledge.  While many of my co workers had books on the end of their fishing lines,  my plan was to match the hatch and bait up with a tootsie roll.  I had many follows and avoided all strikes.

Center Point-Urbana's record went  up to 4-3. Maquoketa is still searching for that first win as they fell to 0-7.
