Personal Spring Stuff

I've been remiss in saying very much about what is personally going on this spring. Some pictures from various events can be found here -- from time to time I'll be posting photos to that site.

• I had a fantastic fishing trip to Mille Lacs with a couple friends. We limited out the first night up, had a big fish dinner, and the action was just about as hot all day Friday. Personally I picked up three walleye 21", two 22", a 23" and a 24". Nobody broke 25", but the totals in the 20-25" range for the other two guys were similar. Cold front went though Friday night and they shut down for Saturday, but no complaints. Kind of fishing that just can't be beat!
• We have been very much enjoying the firepit that we added off the end of our deck. There have been a number of evenings out there with friends and we had a nice party Memorial Day weekend.
  
• Oldest son has completed Freshman year at UWL with excellent grades, and is working part time at the physics lab and taking a couple summer classes. He has been coming home most weekends, so that has been fun.
  
• Youngest son has completed Freshman year of HS with a 4.0 and is doing excellent in band and will be an officer for Key Club next year. Mom and Dad have been very proud to see him receive recognition at two awards banquets this spring and listen to him play in a great band concert. The band kids really seem to have a good time, and it is fun for a couple with "engineer wiring" to be able to tag along by virtue of his abilities.
  
• Have been enjoying getting out on the bicycles quite frequently.
  

The next couple of weeks are going to be very busy at work, and then I HOPE that there is a slight bit of a slow-down so that more reading / blogging can be done. I've behind in my book-reports again with a few that have been read but not blogged on.
