Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Just seeing how everyone's summer is going so far.... What's everyone been up to? Has it been an exciting summer? Got any fun up-coming plans? Just a place to chat and catch up with fellow SSers during the off season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonersNSioux Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Been busy, that's for sure. Work hard play hard. Have kayaked quite a bit, but am also scrambling to get a bunch of work done for a conference at the end of July. With the inlaws coming into town today, we have been extensively fixing up the house... painting, cleaning, etc. Once the conference/inlaws visit is over, I'm going to relax for a few days... go river tripping somewhere while the wife is off on her cruise with her friend.

Big A HG Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Don't know enough about the hockey players...gotta know about us now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 All is well here, thanks for asking We made it out to the ocean last weekend for just one night, and have reservations at a different beach for a weekend later in the summer. But the most summery thing I've done so far this summer, by far, was trading in the tired old convertible for a shiny new convertible. So now we mostly try to come up with excuses to drive when the weather is nice enough to go topless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Long time listener, first time caller. Great topic for discussion! Let's see... Trip to Louisville KY with my dad for his navy reunion...weekend softball tournament...bought a townhouse and moved...trip to North Dakota for godparents' 50th anniversary party...weekend softball tournament...4th of July in St Paul...trip with the son and some friends to Wisconsin Dells...and wide-open this weekend for a nice change of pace! On top of that, I've been busy coaching my 5 year old son's "coach-pitch" instructional baseball team two nights a week and playing softball two nights a week. Our team is celebrating its 10th year this summer and we wrapped up a league title in Eagan this past Tuesday and hope to win our Bloomington league title on the final night of play next Thursday. Then it's onto regions and state tournament play. Good news, Sioux recruiters, on the son. While he thinks it's pretty cool to play baseball and have dad coach, he informed me the other night that he still likes hockey better and can't wait for his mites team to start up again. I expect that he'll sign his letter of intent sometime next summer. I hope everyone has had a safe and fun summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFAN Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Long time listener, first time caller. Great topic for discussion! Well, my wife is 36 weeks pregnant now, so that kind of spoiled most of the summertime camping and traveling. But that's ok I guess. I spoiled it too, as in the middle of May, I had surgery to remove a Level 3 cancerous brain tumor. So I've been recovering from that, and taking radiation and chemotherapy. Overall, I'm doing very well, and I have lost some hair due to the radiation. Otherwise, I don't have any pain, and I get around pretty well. However, I still let the neighbors mow the grass. So overall, it's not a bad summer to spend around home. There is always next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxMD Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 NDFAN Wishing you a speedy recovery from your surgery and congratulations on your pending fatherhood! BOT...we bought a travel trailer and have been spending our free weekends at miscellaneous campsites across North Dakota and Minnesota. Tomorrow my oldest daughter turns 8...yesterday she got pink highlights and now resembles Stephanie from Lazytown. I assume it will only get worse as time goes on. I spent two weeks in San Antonio, TX for army stuff. No one does humidity like Texas in the summer. I am now a UND season ticket holder for football and cannot wait until 23AUG2007! Otherwise...I am about 3 years behind on projects listed on my "TO DO LIST"...I better get busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwinger_13 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Fishing, catching pig walleyes, being in fishing tournaments, excessively checking the same websites over and over again during work, and oh ya... work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Trips to NYC for business. Possible trip to London for business. Trip to Nashville for fun. Trips to Louisville for alot of fun. Puttering around the yard, and doing as little as possible, except drinking beer when the temps hit the 90s and the heat indexes will go to 100 or so. Hopefully, my house painter resurfaces, so the house gets some badly needed work done before I have to rebid the job. NDFAN, take care and God bless.

Goon Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Playing some very bad golf, working weird hours, roller blading biking and dreaming about hunting. Been exercising the dog everyday and just got back from a golf trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxmama Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Spending most of the time at the lake. Mr. Siouxmama bought himself a new fishing boat, so the kids and him are pretty much AWOL. That's OK, it gives me more time for my hobby. I will be spending next week at a friends place at Rocky Point on Lake of the Woods. Everyone, according to Walmart, summer is winding down. They have all the school supplies on display already! NDFAN, congrats on your soon to arrive baby. Hope your wife is feelling OK. I've been there twice with those late summer babies. Hope you have airconditioning! Godspeed to you on your recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I suppose since I'm the one who started this thread...... This summer sucks! It is so much harder to find a job in GF than it was in Fargo! I started and quit at the Super 8 and Days Inn (kinda qualified as one job, most front desk people worked at both places) within a month (I worked overnights). I took up a paper route after that, which lasted 2 days before I quit. Let me tell you, it takes a very special person to work overnights or to get up at 3 am every day to deliver newspapers, and I am definitely NOT that person! So now I've just been keeping with my job at the Union (my lowest paying job, but one that works with my schedule, and I like the people I work with). School wise... Well the classes are easy in the summer, however the Registrar's office and the Business office need to be a little more efficient. At the beginning of the summer I was dropped from my classes after I added them. I however did not receive notice of this until just a week or two ago. And I now have to go get signatures from my advisor, instructors, and deans in order to enroll for the classes that I've already taken so I can get a grade for them and not waste the summer tuition that I paid. Anyways, I'll quit my moanin and groanin now. NDFAN, wishing you a speedy recovery and have fun with your new little one! I hope everyone's summer is going better than mine!

Siouxman Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 May - attended Keikla's college graduation June - Moved Southpaw to Colorado Springs (missed out on my annual Canada fishing trip as it was the same week) On the plus side, now have contacts in Colorado Springs for when we go watch the Sioux play there. July - Family reunion in northern MN on Mrs. Siouxman's side of the family August - Will be moving Keikla to Phoenix to start Pharmacy school. So, AZSIOUX and SIOUX-CIA, will be in the neighborhood for at least a few days and Keikla will be there for a couple of years. May include a side trip to CA with this. Other than that, some occasional fishing including rainbow trout at Bad Medicine Lake. NDFAN - all the best in your recovery and a successful outcome.

PCM Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Knee surgery Wednesday and then two to three weeks of recuperation at home. If I post more than usual, it's because I don't have anything better to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 oh ouch, what did you do? INCH sent Tonya Harding after me. It's too painful to talk about. Actually, it's to repair torn cartilage. It's an injury I've had for decades, but crawling around on my knees to paint the foundation on my house made it unbearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been lucky in my life to not have knee problems though I probably will when I am older given my family history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
