Lake Mills, WI

Marty, Joe mentioned earlier in the week that he MIGHT be able to make it. Colors are starting to look seasonal. Weather is looking mighty cool for us without heat.

I take it you and your fellow water-coolers are still making the rounds of some central Wisconsin area on Saturday, getting up early and finding Lake Mills early?

First come first serve on parking there so get up early wherever you are on Sunday morning. Weather in Colgate should be basically the same as Lake Mills.

Marty, pack your gloves...

Rich, I have two sets one special order Brown Italian Lambskin.  Got to look the part too

 

I dont what the others are driving but I think there might be some AC cars.

Marty, you'll make quite an impact on the ice fishermen at Lake Mills with those special order gloves.

Rich, I was shooting for the farmers daughter!

Soccer has apparently taken over my life... Both kids are in a tournament next weekend which means 6 games minimum on Saturday and Sunday. Wife cannot be in two places at same, though that would be great. I am not making the drive or coffee in Lake Mills.

 

The only positive news I got this week is our client conference is not until June 3rd which means I am in for Carlisle (May 17-19). If I remember everyone stayed at a Courtyard last year and assume same for 2013. 

Joe, thats a bummer but at least I have someone to caravan with to Carlisle next year. l will take some pics and drink several German beers for you. 

Thanks Marty love good beer . My weekend will consist of driving to Libertyville at 630am, 4 soccer games, spending the night in Lincolnshire then two more games Sunday the first starting at 715am. 

I have been looking at past pics from Carlisle and it looks like a great trip. It's on my calendar, however the Courtyard you booked last year is not available. How early does planning begin on this?

Joe the courtyard Marriott was a hit so I'm sure Bruce and Alan and gang will be using the same hotel.  The hotel is in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania.

Hey Marty, here's a rather crude video from the August gathering, so crude it's hard to make out if anyone has their gloves on or not: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUmRzmvLigw

Ok, looks like some nice cars.  Here is a pic of the new gloves in case you don't come down for C&C.  

Marty, did you wash your hands before dinner?

BWAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA!! Good one Marty.

 

Your pic shoulda been captioned "I got your Italian lambskin right HERE"!

Baaaaaaaaaa

Damn right Jimbo! Thats a traditional and official Chicago Salute.   

Jim, do you wear gloves as well?

Only once, at Carlisle when Marty was demonstrating his 'One-legged Alcatraz' position...or was it the 'Scary Uncle' maneuver?  

Marty, are you in Wisconsin yet? See you in the A.M. I hope. I actually was wearing a rather shabby pair of gloves during this afternoon's ride.

Rich, Sandy woke up with bad headache and she wanted to go home early.   Sounds like your making the cars and coffee in Lake Mills.  Your probably ran into some of our group.  Let me know how it all went.

Marty,I stayed until close to 11:00, where'd you guys get lost? You missed a great show because even if you got there at the last minute, most of the cool cars left.

I wore gloves.

Sorry about Sandy and the headache. I don't know if any of your group was there or not, no one was flaunting gloves. Plenty of (great) cars and a much larger turnout than I expected considering the temps. I'll post some photos when I get a chance.

Now we just have to wait until May for the next one.
