WEARING A PARTY HAT AND DRINKING BEER,

MYRON AND HIS RESTORED INTERNATIONAL FARMALL TRACTOR
LOTS OF PARTIERS, INDOOR AND OUT...
...COMPLETE WITH ROCK BAND...

...AND LOTS OF GRILLING
Sunday, 8:30 AM.  57 degrees F, wind SSW, light.  The sky is cloudless with some haze, the humidity is 67% and the barometer is trending down, currently at 30.05".  It will be another beautiful day, with perhaps a shower tonight.  The south wind has driven the ice  in around the Madeline Island ferry dock and it had to be cleared before the ferry could land this morning.
   Friend Myron's 80th birthday was celebrated in grand style yesterday evening with a big party at the Town of Russel Community Center.  Hundreds of well wishers attended, including Joan and myself. Music was provided by The Lords of Baltimore, "The Finest Rock Band in Cornucopia,"(population 98).  Sorry, no polkas or waltzes for the old folks.  One hundred pounds of chicken and ribs were cooked on the grill, and tables were laden with pies and cakes.   I have no idea how much beer washed it all down.  And to top off the evening, we saw our first bear of the spring on the way home.  He was wearing a party hat and drinking beer.
