Trenary is a little town about 15 miles south of our house.  Here's a link to what's happening in Trenary this coming weekend:

JD: I am not surprised at all that you looked at the site -- knowing that I got the job from you and that you'd therefore have an insider's (so to speak) interest in the subject.

Running in either the MIS/B category, or perhaps PP/ALT.

Let's see that's -

Modified Ice Shanty*/ Butane
Porta Potty/ Altered

Da Yoopers ROCK!  Heard them a number of times on Wisconsin Public Radio.  A regional phenomena of glacial proportions.

*For those of you who live in warmer climates, an ice shanty is a crude, sometimes decorated, semi-permanent shelter used to hide from your wife while drinking brandy and smoking cigars on a frozen lake under the pretence of fishing through a hole in the ice, while talking about the Green Bay Packers.  Often times, they're actually removed from the lake before the ice melts. 

Yeah der, dat's right der Slim, aina' hey? :-)

Dang Jon,
With all that off-season training at Bonneville you should take first place.

while most think SS Jon should have the inside track for this due to the similarities... porta Jons and white stuff everywhere.... he actually is at a disadvantage  :| his job requires the outbuildings don't move  :-D most of us have seen them on their side or scooting across the salt.  :-o

Would I be a good Head-of-site if I didn't include a follow-up to the teaser?
