Day 6 of vacation

Dawn (Mackie) and Christi (Gilly) headed home on Wednesday as they wanted to be back to work, Thursday and Friday.

Kris and I decided to clean up the cabin and take the towels, sheets and other laundry to the laundry mat since Lenny, the poop guy, had not been there to clean out the septic tank yet.

We found a great little bakery in Frederic so we got some old fashion donuts for our Thursday morning breakfast and we also purchased a couple loaves of bread. Then it was off to the laundry mat. This place was the cleanest laundry mat I have ever been in. We figured out how it stays so clean when we left. Seems the owners house was attached to the laundry mat. This also explained why they asked you to not start loads of laundry after 7:00pm.

We got back to the cabin and about 10 min later, Lenny, the poop guy, shows up. Then the bat guy shows up about five minutes later. So, yup, I braved the smell standing out by the septic tank and talked with Lenny. Meanwhile Kris was in the screen porch talking to the bat guy. So I am having this conversation with Lenny, the poop guy, and he is asking if we had bat issues. I told him not really bad but there have been some get into the cabin in the past but the owners wanted to get things caulked so there wasn't anymore issues. He then tells me that is one job he would not like to do at all. Ok, so, here I am standing talking to a guy that has a hose in a septic tank sucking out GOD KNOWS (well you do know but I will not go into it here) what out of there and the smell is nasty. He has no gloves, mask or any protective gear on while he is doing this and he is telling me he would not deal with bats! So again, meanwhile, Kris is talking to Batman, yes that is what we called him, anyway he is asking if we were having sewer issues and of course we told him no that it just needed to be pumped out. Then he said that is a job he could never do, which I have to agree with him on that! Anyway we thought it was funny that both Kris and I were having similar conversations with two different people and they both thought they would not do ether's job. Ironic? Que the Twilight Zone music......

We packed up a few things to make the morning exit a bit easier and then headed to Indian Head Supper Club for supper a few towns away. What a place that was. Decor was log cabin meets home interior party meets velvet paintings. They had paintings of Indian chiefs on black velvet and then of course had lights on the pictures. Food was good, at least mine was, pan fried walleye..YUM! We had a very interesting waitress. She had quite the conversations with her bartender about the Twins and the Vikings while we waited for our wine. Of course they were very funny conversations that took place across the dining room so we heard all of it! She told us she had traveled to South Dakota to camp and horse back ride a few times in the Badlands. She also said she camped at Evil Women camp ground on the east side of the state. We think she meant Enemy Swim so we got a chuckle out of that. She hoped we enjoyed their state (WI) as much as she enjoyed South Dakota. I thought that was nice to say and we sure did enjoy WI.

We got back to the cabin to watch the CUBS LOOSE..........................DANG IT!
