I have been in Sheboygan for a little over two months now after taking a job with Kohler to work on the toilet and bidet category. I know many of you will get a kick out of that, I know I do on a daily basis. It is a really good opportunity and I'm really enjoying the work and the team of folks that I get to work with. The toughest part is keeping a straight face when the Wisconsin accent is flowing in meetings.
Mary and Owen have been out for a month now and we were able to move into a nice home in the Village of Kohler which is quite nice and charming (though sometimes a bit like Pleasantville). Thanks to Mary we are settled in nicely and have gotten onto more important things like walking the dogs, hunting wabbits (a favorite pastime of Owen and Harley) and chatting with our super nice neighbors.
The Village and the greater Sheboygan area is pretty awesome and has introduced us to some interesting new things. For one, it is the home at the bratwurst which are quite tasty and a very big deal around here. We also enjoy watching everyone get worked up over the Packers. They are the top story of each newspaper, and not just the sports section, they typically lead the front page with the latest goings on. Last night the Packers had a game at the same time the Wisconsin Badgers did, leading us to wonder how our neighbor Phil and all the other crazies were dealing with the big decision.
This weekend we are planning on going to the county fair and the Dairyland Surf Classic. Yes, Sheboygan is the world's hotspot for fresh water surfing. This I have to see to believe but it is pretty awesome to not have to worry about sharks...only catch is the waves don't get good until October and November.
Well, I better head to bed. I'll do my best to update this weekly and hopefully will improve as a blog writer. Here are some photos to enjoy until next time...
The place in K-Town - if you know someone
looking for some real estate in Klamath we
have a deal for them.
It was strange to see how easily your whole
life could be loaded up in a truck and taken
to your new home.
We had a nice party before we hit
the road to see everyone.
I was trying to get some sun on those legs,
everyone else was trying to load up so we could
hit the road. Not sure what we were thinking
taking two dogs and a 22 month old on a
2,000 mile road trip over four days...
At least Owen gladly shared driving duties
with his dad. Not sure why he needed the
windshield wipers on in Denio - it was 100
degrees and sunny - but I don't question the
relief driver.
He was definitely more comfortable as a
backseat driver.
We finally made it...
911 West Park Lane --> Our new home
Owen couldn't wait to tell everyone we made
it, his cellie was blowin' up.
Luckily he was able to get to work and pop
those pesky bubbles for us. Syrus is one heck
of a supervisor.
We took some time to head down to Milwaukee to see the zoo. Those pink
things in the back are the first flamingos that Owen has ever seen. His dad
too.
Who would have thought you
could become a beach bum in
Wisconsin! Lake Michigan is
pretty massive.
Look out Lance, here we come
Those pesky wabbits don't know
what they're in for...it is just a
matter of time.
