The Summer of Wayne

So last year I emailed a few folks daily pictures while I was on my summer VaCay.... and called it
"THE SUMMER OF WAYNE".... Here are some pics from the ORIGINAL SUMMER OF WAYNE PICTORIAL~~~~~~











Now, since I have this dingwop of a blog set up... guess what??? The "Summer Of Wayne II" is coming live! Right here!l.....
Everyday I will take a picture of my summer vacation goings on.... I will do my best to post them everyday... so you all can check in whenever you want and see what kind of fruits I've been tasting and let run down my chin.... I might even pick up Frolf...........
this is the essence I'm trying to capture....

Event Flyer.... coming your way soon....

One of the final drafts of the music line-up flyer for the big Tomten 09 Backyard Dingwop.... More acts may be added.....
We'll have a flip side to the invite with other important things like directions, camping (right in the backyard!!) and hotel info, other cool events happening that weekend (like the Free Range Film Festival which takes place in a big ass barn just 3 or 4 miles up the road from us!! - check it out here..... http://www.freerangefilm.com/) food, beer and start up and live music schedule for the big event.

And by the way, I'm staring down just 8 and 1/2 days of work left until
SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!
Then I'm ridin' the "Cool Bus"....

Smokin' some salmon out on the grill right now.... above is a stock photo - not my own... but looking somewhat similar to that... just not as many chunks.... freakin' love smoked salmon...

I'm thinking that I'm heading off into the outskirts of food...
ya know, the dude that likes all that crazy shit that most folks maybe don't much care for so much.... for example... I love blue cheese, pickled herring, smoked salmon, cherry bombs (rum soaked cherries), lamb of any variety (in fact, I make lamb burgers more often than hamburgers!), salt and vinegar potato chips (probably one of the top three things I would choose to have if I were deserted on an island somewhere), venison brats, anything slathered in hot sauce of any variety... Indian food - love that shit!!! ... smoked anything... do they smoke a Snickers bar???? .... need I go on?????
The problem here is that I live with a Scottish/Finland/northern Minnesotan wife that thinks ketchup is spicy! I try and try to tempt her with some chicken vindaloo or spice rubbed beef ribs but, alas, I am shot down in favor of spaghetti (though I like that too!) or something of the like.

Variety is the spice of life peoples! Try something new this week!!

P6

P6... the six P's... I first heard this one from my father...

Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance


So, with that, we held the first Tomten 09 planning commission get together. It all went well. There was some heated discussion on rental vs. buying our very own Porta Potty... and then, in a stroke of genius, Knasty comes up with the idea of custom building our own... I'm liking that! Wood paneled inside... skylight.... spacious.... wheels for easy transportation... DellMarie thinks I'm a jackass... but that's nothing new!
PA is taken care of...
And we have 3 acts lined up for certain with 5 blowing in the wind (two of which are 80 to 90% sure to play).... hopefully we shore it up within the next couple weeks.
Look for invites within the month of May...

Other than that, work is getting crazy... end of the year blitzkrieg coming on.
Just been watching playoff hockey... and dingwoppin!
