Sturgeon Bay...

Ok so last weekend me and one of my good friends Patrick Erbe went up to Sturgeon Bay with our other good friend Matt Brauer. Matt is from Sturgeon Bay and he asked us if we wanted to come with, so we could check out his hometown. If you don't know Sturgeon Bay is in "thumb" of Wisconsin or the Peninsula. It was a 5 hour drive from LaCrosse all the way to Sturgeon Bay. I had no idea what to expect of Sturgeon Bay, the way that Matt made it sound was it was just like any other little town we've been to, but no. Sturgeon Bay is sorrounded by water and it is the one of the most beautiful towns i've been to. They only have 10,000 people but that nearly doubles during the summer because of the tourism. Some popular activities over there all deal with water; such as things like fishing, jet skiing, tubing, sailboating, and just relaxing on their boat. Sturgeon Bay also has a very unique thing about them. They specialize on making bodies for yachts, and Tiger Woods (Proffesional Golfer) has actually had a yacht built there. Were not just talking about small yachts eathier, they make 1,500 foot yachts for many famous people. Sturgeon Bay was also a little more wealthier city, I can't even remember how many million dollar homes we saw, or how many Mercedes or other higher end cars we saw. We had a great time hanging out with Matt's family and friends, although quite a few of his friends weren't there because they were still at college. I loved the enviornment there and am really thinking about taking a couple weeks off in the summer to take a little trip up there. I would love to get up there in the summer and take the wave runners out and do some wakeboarding. Only 10 more months to wait...

Land Rover

I went home this weekend to visit my family and hang out with them for a little while. My dad saw a vehicle while I was gone that he really thought would be a good buy. He explained to me the car is in good condition, it has two sunroofs, leather, and it only had 75,000 miles on it. He then told me that it was a 2002 Land Rover. I explained to him what I have heard about Land Rovers and that they were very reliable cars. I also had to tell him though about how to even do little things like get your oil changed, you have to drive to the Twin Cities or Milwaukee. This is because nobody around here is very knowledged in foreign cars. The fact that he would have to go to the Twin Cities completely stomped the idea down. Although my dad loved this car he says he will keep looking for something that me and him will both agree on. I still wish we could get that Land Rover though.

1st Entry

Obviously the Packers play the Vikings tomorow, and obviously it's going to be a tough game. The Packers starting with Aaron Rodgers, who has not played a complete game in his NFL career, will have a tough start against the stable defensive that the Vikings have. Obviously the packers need to do one thing to win, stop Adrian Peterson. Tarvaris Jackson, the Vikings starting quarterback, will beat himself if he has to throw the ball. Especially since the Packers defense is one of the best in the NFL, with their star defensive backs Charles Woodson, Al Harris, & Atari Bigby.
The Packers do have a very talented offense though. They have one of the NFL's best receiving core with starters Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, James Jones, & Donald Lee. They also have a young prospect by the name of Jordy Nelson who is suppose to be the best receiver in the 2008 NFL Draft. Ryan Grant (the Packers running back) is also projected for a big year after the numbers he put up in the 2007-2008 season. The only downside to the Packers offense this year is the starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, people are expecting big things from him following the outstanding career that Brett Favre had. As long as the Packers defense stops Adrian Peterson, and Aaron Rodgers has an ok game, I beleive that the Packers will come out victorious 27 - 17.
