                  Howdy Folks!

Last week we published a video in the Club PUB on how global warming is affecting Boston.  The city is making plans to mitigate what they see coming in the not too distant future.  Predictions are for increasingly serious flooding in the city.  Future rising sea levels portend severe sea encroachment with devastating effects.  Boston expects to suffer unprecedented damage if mitigation efforts aren't taken.  Boston looks to our government to plan for, coordinate and support efforts to defend the country from the effects of global warming. 

As our country moves forward to update and repair aging infrastructure should global warming be taken into consideration? If global warming is real, areas bordering the Pacific, Gulf and Atlantic coastlines will be hit hard.  

Today in the Club PUB the case for global warming is reviewed.  The Scientific community lays out its proof that global warming is real and is caused by man.  

OK now down to business.


The Turntable - More 50's HS Favorites . . . The Flipside  It's the 80's . . . Is Global Warming real?  Is it caused by MAN?   Read about it in  The Club PUB!

Well . . . That's a wrap!

                     Good Day!

Well not exactly!  
We did however, buy a new outdoor grill.  After about 15 years our Weber Gas grill finally died.  We were about to buy an equivalent replacement when the salesman said  . .  "You might want to consider this" - A "Traeger smoker grill . . . it works differently".  

You fill a box on the left side of the unit with wood pellets, plug the grill in (yes it's electric), turn the control knob to "smoke" and the fun begins.  An auger  moves the wood pellets from the storage side (left) and drops them into a "fire box" inside the grill.  Inside the fire box is an "igniter" which ignites the pellets. A blower is auto engaged moving air inside the grill in a circular motion .  The smoker becomes a "convection" grill.  

Should you decide to "upgrade" to a smoker, make sure to buy plenty of beer!  The smoker takes it's time.  Way more time than the Weber!  And get ready to learn how to cook outdoors all over!  Really different thought process than the Weber.  The Weber was always  "get'r done"!  Now it's . . take your time and enjoy the nice weather, the food will taste great!  


Still early into this experience . . . I'll keep you posted!

Hi Everyone!
                     Gees!  It's raining again!

Picture
  Do you miss watering the lawn???  If you do . . . you've had too much rain!  It's gotten so common that I expect we'll soon see Weber Kettles pre-deployed on rooftops.  Well, if you're going to be up there you might as well be cooking something!  Invite the neighbors over for a rooftop barbecue!  It's only a short swim away!  (Let them bring the beer)

I'm looking for anything positive to say about flooding . .  so far the only thing I can come up with is this . . . If you're selling your home the buyer can't see that it's not been landscaped!

                   Happy Summer!

Well were in it now.  I've checked the maps and everyone in the club has had there share of 90's (and some 100"s) in their lives lately.  It's summer "fer sure"!   If you do nothing else you MUST get a sunburn!  Oh I don't care what your dermatologist says!  It's summer and it's your duty to do something FUN!  Get out there and go swimming, sailing, fishing or whatever turns your crank!  Summer will be over sooner than you think!

I bet Nick Nitka is out there playing with his drone (illegal over 400 feet Nick), Ken Chermak fishing with his friend Bill (and friend Kingsbury), Dick Neuses having unauthorized lawnmower races with his friends in a Green Bay cemetery and JL trying (in vain) to blow sand out of his sax! 

We all enjoy summer in different ways.  Make sure you take the time to do something FUN!

       Good Morning Everyone!

I'm sure, like me, some of your best family memories are around the 4th of July.  Most likely grilling hamburgers outdoors, spending time at the lake, and of course fireworks. 

I remember a specific 4th of July in 1973.   We took the kids to Lakeside park in Fond du Lac Wisconsin.  The park is located on the shore on the south end of Lake Winnebago.  A truly beautiful spot to watch  fireworks explode over the lake.  Our twins were 2 and our son Tom was 3.  A particularly LOUD BOOM set the twins crying their hearts out while Tommy couldn't stop laughing.  WOW!  Talk about mixed emotions! 

We've had many fun 4th of July memories but that one stands out.  Probably because our family was young and first experiences are always the most memorable.  Wish I could go back in time and give those little guys another hug.


​Have fun on the 4th and stay safe!
