Friday February 6th, Carrie, Cam and I headed up to the cottage with a few ideas for the weekend. We arrived about 8:30pm and got Cam to bed. Saturday we had to be in Rhinelander to finally pick up the truck from Custom Collision. If you have been following along at home, on 12/31, the truck mysteriously ran off the road and hit a few trees. Custom fixed it and delivered it to our home in Pewaukee but it looked like the high school body shop worked on it so I had them load it back up on the flatbed and take it with them. We were then scheduled to pick it up on Saturday morning at their shop. We arrived and immediatly the tech pulls it out in the sun. They had indeed fixed the front end 100% but the paint on the door looked like monkey crap. I told them I would take it, but I would not pay for it. They once again kept it at the shop.
Shortly there after, I got a call from the owner that stated he would go in and repaint the door and have it ready on sunday for me. OK - third time is a charm.....
So off we went to load up Ole Blue with the 4-wheeler and head to Lake Alice for a fishing tournament. Of course it would not start. We ended up going in the Prius to Uncle Dean's chalet on the lake. We didn't even take a fishing rod as by that time (10:15am) I was ready to just drink rather than fish. That is exactly what we did for the entire day. It was good - Uncle Ron, Uncle Dean and up north g-pa and g-ma were all out there. At the end of regulation - I don't think anyone caught a thing besides a good buzz.
Headed back to the cottage and then to 10 point for dinner and back again for some much needed sleep. Over night, Cam woke up throwing up for some reason. It passed by about 4am.
Sunday morning we got up and I wanted to get my new Bergstrom Triples on the red Attak. That took a bit of help from Pa as I was have issues getting the bolts back through the skis. Got it all together and headed out for a 10 mile trip. Virtually all the darting was gone and I could turn on a dime. This is the way this sled was meant to handle.
Packed things up and headed back to Rhinelander for my truck. They pulled it out and all looked great - finally. The truck was there for over 6 weeks and it took them 3 trys to get it right for me. Jack at Custom did waive my $500 deductible and also installed a new windshield even though the insurance company thought it did not need replacing.
Home by 4:00. No pictures this weekend for some reason?? I guess we were slacking.
