Back With Jack.

 Saturday we got a good bunch of the tribe together to celebrate our good friend and our adopted dad, Jack!

 Pretty ladies with pretty drinks.

 If you need a job done I'm sure these three guys would know how to get it done.

 or these three.

 Back to the town house for desert.

Susie is the best hostess and our place was super comfortable.

One parting shot that includes our resident photographer Sandy, Jack's daughter.

Special Delivery

 Our first little blast of winter

 This hive is the swarm I captured on Memorial day weekend.  We'll see how old school insulation works.

 Mart and I took the southern loop over to Jimmies, to deliver a table Marty made. 

p

 The run North to the base of Chestnut.

 Check out tha chickapin oak

Chestnut looking west to the home land. 

What's poppin.

 Sometimes a plan just falls into place

 Clayton flew in from the east coast............... and boy are his arms tired.

It'll be ready in a Jiffy.

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.

Are you in?

A RANDOM THURSDAY NIGHT
