Yooper Brother Mark and I are ready to head into Lambeau Field in Green Bay to do battle with the Detroit Lions

September 26, 2016 - Monday

47 degrees/partly cloudy/windy

Pentoga Road

I'm running late this morning and there are lots of pictures of yesterday's win over Detroit, so I'll knock off writing and simply post a few. They tell the story.

Note a die hard Packers fan in the early morning hours on game day with his Packers hat, jersey, and mandatory coffee mug. I was going to wear my Packers pajama bottoms, but Sargie wouldn't let me.

Our seats were fifteen rows up to the right of the entrance and we had a close view of all the players as they entered and exited the field.

There were almost 80,000 fans in attendance

Jordy Nelson

Eddie Lacey ran for 103 yards on the day

In the end, we were victorious and have a bye week next Sunday, giving some of our better injured players a chance to heal and get ready for the season ahead. 

Sargie and Sheri shopped while we were at the game and from what I heard coming out of the back seat on the way home, a few treasures were found and purchased.

We stopped at a cheese outlet then later, for an all-you-can-eat fried chicken dinner. I think Sargie knew everyone in the restaurant.

It was later in the evening before we arrived home. It had been a wonderful day with good friends.

Sargie opens the Vision Center today, but thankfully, has Tuesday off. I'm going for my walk first thing this morning then probably fiddle around in the shop. The temperature has dropped dramatically and today's high is forecast only to reach 52 degrees. Another .4 of an inch of rain fell, so it's probably too wet to clean the garden.

One thing I know for certain, it's time to pour another cup of coffee and think some deep thoughts before beginning the day.

After all, a man's work is never done.

So are the tales from Pentoga Road...
