Labor Day Weekend Fun and Harley Festival

Good morning! Are you ready for the weekend, the last hurrah before the unofficial end of summer? There are so many things to do in Milwaukee this weekend, like supporting the 110th Anniversary Harley Festival. There are activities all over the city and at the grounds of Summerfest, music, great food and more. 

Another great activity, is spending time on the shores on Lake Michigan! There are miles and miles of beaches along Lake Shore drive, not to mention great food and people watching. 

Or perhaps a little fishing or doing some water sports on one of the many Wisconsin lakes?

You could take in the breathtaking sunsets while camping at the many Wisconsin State Parks and maybe at the end of a long day toast some marshmallows with your kids and grand kids and enjoy a s'more or two!

Whatever you choose to do, enjoy your weekend, be safe and have fun!

Summer Fun

Good morning! How is your summer? Are you out fishing, boating, camping, or perhaps getting ready for the Fall hunting season?

I have been doing all of the above traveling across America and camping, taking in many of Wisconsin's state parks, and I am now getting ready for hunting. I always think it is best to prepare ahead of time that way I am not rushing at the last minute. 

I you need any flashlight holders, holsters, belts, or other leather and nylon equipment please contact Stallion Leather at 414-764-7126.

Boating Safety

Summer is in full swing, the weather is finally heating up and that normally means going out on the Lakes to swim, or enjoy your boat. I have noticed a number of news stories about boating accidents, involving injuries and sometimes even fatalities and in each and every case the accidents were caused by inattentive drivers or alcohol. 

There are many rules to keep you safe but these are the ten most often noted by the Wisconsin DNR. I think they deserve to be repeated. 

10 Rules of Boating Safety

1. Always wear an approved Personal Flotation Device (life jacket), including your pets.

2. Avoid excessive speed.

3. Never consume drugs or alcohol before or while

operating a boat.

4. Know your limitations and your boat’s limitations.

5. Don’t sit or allow your passengers to sit on the

gunwales, bow, or seat backs while underway.

6. Don’t overload or overpower your vessel.

7. Follow the rules of navigation.

8. Make sure navigation lights are on during periods of

darkness.

9. Be aware of shallow water areas and submerged

objects prior to going out

10. Be aware of other boats, personal water craft, boats, paddle boards and swimmers.

In Wisconsin we are blessed to have so many beautiful lakes right out our front doors, and they are a wonderful way to spend time with family and friends, either fishing, seeing the sights, swimming or perhaps water skiing. In addition to large water craft there are many of us that love to sail, kayak, canoe, use a paddle board or to swim.

If you are the captain of your vessel you MUST keep your eyes and ears open for smaller crafts, swimmers, and even out of control drivers. If you see someone who is drinking and boating or just driving erratically than report them to the police or Coast Guard.  Remember this, "the life you safe may be your own" or your families. 

 Remember the water is for everyone, be safe, and be responsible.

Enjoy your Summer!

Happy 4th of July!

I hope that you have a happy and safe 4th of July!

Celebrating the 4th of July!

"And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave. O're the land of the free and the home of the brave."

~Francis Scott Key

 Summer is well and truly underway, tonight is the annual  U.S Bank 3rd of July fireworks, tomorrow the 4th of July and the rest of the week Summerfest 2013. There are so many great ways to celebrate summer and the 4th of July!

I think I may take in the fireworks as well as do a little camping in my Airstream camper and attend a few barbecues.

 I hope that whatever your plans that you stay safe and enjoy!

Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

~Dwight D. Eisehower~

Welcome Summer!

Good morning! Today is the first day of Summer, at least according to the calender. I guess the up and down weather means that the next few weeks will be perfect? At least we can hope.

I am looking forward to long weekends, holidays, time camping with my newly refurbished Airstream and of course time with family.

What are your plans for Summer? Will you be enjoying the Wisconsin State Parks? Perhaps fishing, camping or enjoying a little hiking or time at the beach?

I hope you enjoy a safe and happy Summer and a great weekend!
