We just got back from a quick trip to Domek Lesny. It has been almost 6 months since the last visit. The house and everything is still there. But big changes on the highways. At the 94/894 interchange just south of Milwaukee, the entire interchange is being redone. I think this is the 5th time in my life time that interchange has been redone. And in Oshkosh at the Lake Butte Des Mortes Bridge / highway 45 interchange that is being redone. The construction in Wausau is done, but they are going to be started new construction soon.

I guess Wisconsin has plenty of money since they took all the money away from the State Union workers (I know the highway money comes from the Federal Government).

We did go to a new "Mexican" restaurant in the area. People make fun of me when they ask how was something. If I like it I say "It's OK". Well this place was below OK. The best part about it was they served Pepsi Products, so Susan was able to have a Diet Mountain Dew. Needless to say we probably won't be back.

This morning I did walk around the property to inspect. And I found someone has been eating trees.



I know it's hard to see but someone ate the bark off on the trees. I think it's the Republicans!



You can see wood chips at the base of the tree in the above image.



And the tree that is laying on the ground nearly hit the power line. I think the republicans are trying to cut of my power! Seriously the tree just missed the power lines and even though it does not look like it, almost hit the garage.

And it was very foggy this morning. There is still ice on the lake.



I know it is hard to tell but that is ice and fog. We hope the ice will be out for our next trip. And it looks like the projects for this year include cutting down trees.
