Daniel's List:
1.) Tungsten! Careful it's expensive! This is the cheapest i've found- www.sunfisktools.com/tungsten-bucking-bars_c2.htm
2.) 3x or 4x recoilless rivet gun .401 shank 1/4" npt inlet. only affordable used, sometimes on ebay
3.) Legacy Flexzilla Air hose, 1/4" x 50' (DO NOT pay more than $30 ... unless you buy 100', which is $50 at Mernards, and is way more feet than i need)
4.) Pneumatic spring cleco installation and removal tool / pneumatic cleco pliers. There's one on amazon, it even has a review that says it's a luxury item...lol. i typed lol.... lol.
5.) universal sockets. not a universal adapter, each socket swivels. it's sweet. and i should've bought the set i saw at northern in the auto section 2 or three years ago, it was cheap. and i've never seen them at harbor freight.... but somone needs to remind me to stop at northern next time i'm around there!
6.) coffee grinder, must grind as fine as esspresso
7.) small amplifier... a really little one, so i can practice my electric violin... dunno, they're less than 2' x 2' i think.
8.) snow boots i guess... although i don't think i really need them honestly, so i prolly don't need to post this. Lynda and I were just out in this blizzard... we bundled up, i think i had on five layers (long johns, a gortex, and three or four fleeces) and i had on a pair of cotton and pair of whool socks, and my hikers which i had just water proofed in september for canada. We walked through the park and to the bar a few blocks away, and when we got home Lynda's boots with the fur were soaked through and my hikers still looked dry.... so i think i'll stick with my hikers. So overall nevermind and thanks for reading! p.s. it was walmart waterproofer in a can... used it on everything... hikers, tent, backpacks, etc. everything stayed dry. 1/3 the price of other waterproofers, and worked great! it's honestly sometimes getting mildly hard to dis walmart. i exchanged mario kart for wii there the other day...

We had a great Halloween! Took the kids to the parade in Oconomowoc and then trick or treating. They both gave up after 30 min. fine with us they had enough candy. Me and Dan went on a haunted hike and then to the bars on the east side. We saw some great costumes! On halloween day we went to a party at Michelle's house and sat around the fire while the kids trick or treated.

Is it de ja vous? No, but it is the same exact weekend as last year that Lynda and I went to Canada for a pleasant four day weekend for a little kayaking and hiking in Superior national parks of Ontario. Last year we kayaked along the shores of lake Superior to see 13 pictographs, paddled four inland lakes with four portages, paddled into superior off our campsite beach for a quiet calm sunset, and hiked a couple medium difficulty trails to view several beautiful landscapes and waterfalls.
Well, it's the same time, the weekend after labor day weekend. For me it's a pleasant three day weekend, two day work week, and four day weekend vacation! unfortunately, Lynda has to work on my three day weekend portion :(
At any rate... we leave Wednesday night, and we'll be ready. Last time, we really wanted to hike a hard trail to what we hope is the most gorgeous waterful yet... but it was a day hike there and rated very difficult. So we took a rain check. Well we're going back... and this time we geared up! It cost some shiny pennies, but we plan on doing lots more backpacking... this is sort of our warm up toward what's to come, and checking off one of those things that got on our to do list at the same time, if you know what I mean. We plan on doing some of the same things as last year, since we know which trails we liked and which we thought were only ok, but this time we'll see if the ones we missed out on are the ones not to miss.
Our backpacks are completely set... that is we packed for four days, since we'll only be hiking for two but we figure we need to practice and warm up a little for what we'll get into later ;) Lynda weighed in at about 25 lbs and I made around fifty.... but baby we got it all! Everything but the backpackers sink! (really i saw that at the store and wanted it! but i really don't want it that bad!). We got the fancy bear spray, the bear bell, an awesome tent light that puts out 40 lumens and hangs from a mini beaner and weighs nothing! We got the water purifier with the field maintainable element that pumps over a liter a minute and we're bringing a hatchet and we each have pillows! The tent is lightweight and we didn't forget the deck of cards! We're bringing a camera of course and swimsuits in case we can swim by the waterfall! Most importantly, we've got high levels of excitement and adventure!!!!! whoooohoooo! oh yah, and for people who know me and realize i didn't mention the important thing yet... yup, we've got a nice 1st aid kit! So, we'll show you what we got when we get back, and hope the hike is worth it!

Just finished my last class today and now I have off for a few weeks! Next week I'm going to visit Allen for his graduation. I am so happy for him! I hope he moves back to Wisconsin. I miss him so much.
2 weeks left before our vacation to the east coast. I think we need to start planning :)
Last weekend was very busy. We went to see Dan's Dad and Dianna on Sat. then we spent the night at Olympia. The kids had fun in the pool, actually we all did. The kids stayed with Mike for the night and me and Dan went out with Ruckus. For mother's day we had lunch with Dan's mom and Todd. The kids got to do a Easter egg hunt. Wolfgang was so happy to find the dollars in the eggs. To him the $5 bill didn't mean anything more then the $1 bills. Dougie was nice and didn't try to trade his 2 $1 bills for Wolfgang's 1 $5 bill.
We got home kind of late and full on mothers day so Dan made me a nice dinner on Tuesday when we could actually relax and enjoy it. He made a great cheese cake too!
Yesterday we had an appointment to get Dougies braces. He has to do 2 more before they even put the braces on. I wish they would just get started already.
