Fast Before the Feast!

For the third year, some of us did the "Fast Before the Feast" run in White Bear Lake, Thanksgiving morning!  Just like last year (and unlike the first year), we lucked out with unseasonably warm temperatures - 50 degrees and sun at race time.  Some of us did the 10K, and others did the 5K.  We're all champions!

Veterans Day 2012!

Luke skipped school and came with me to the 5th annual Veterans Day BBQ, hosted by Minnesota Wire at our Eau Claire location.  I'm always the emcee for this event that brings hundreds of people from the community to our Wisconsin plant.  The Army showed up with some impressive new vehicles from Oshkosh Truck, and there were vintage cars, exhibitors, product displays, BBQ from Famous Dave's, beer from Leinenkugels - and of course lots of Veterans, and active, guard and reserve members.

Thanks, Minnesota Wire, for saluting Veterans at this great event every year!
