Wisconsin Rapids Real Estate – Wisconsin Rapids Homes For Sale

An opportunity to see the Mike McCarthy Show on  Tuesday October 6th. You know, the day after the Packers play Brett Favre in Minneapolis…

This exciting show features Packer Head Coach Mike McCarthy and sideline reporter Jessie Garcia, along with a very special Green Bay Packer player (to be announced later). 

Also included will be dinner at Prime Quarter Steakhouse after the show.
 
This limited to the first 20 people!  Please call the Heart of Wisconsin today at 715.423.1830 to reserve your spot!
 
Total cost is $100.00. This includes your bus ride (leaving from Heart of Wisconsin at 1:00 pm), dinner and show tickets!

I’m thinking it would be pretty cool to hear Nick Barnett talk about what it’s like hitting Brett Favre. Plus, I hope Brett still won’t be able to win in the Dome…

No doubt you’ve seen them up and down the interstate. Up here it’s Victory Fireworks, down towards Madison it’s Cornellier (sp) Fireworks.

With there huge ’showrooms’ and 4 for 1 deals.

Plus multiple billboards for each store.

My question is how are these stores turning a profit?

Billboards on the interstate will run more than $800/month. For each. Plus you have overhead, land, the building, and personnel. And a bunch of other stuff as well.

Yes, they’d do a brisk business during the 4th of July. But what about in October? Or April?

And maybe I’m in the minority but I’ve never bought fireworks. And the majority of people I know aren’t purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of fireworks every year either…

Multiple stores only selling fireworks. I shake my head every time I drive past another one… Or maybe it’s because I’m to dense to get it…

Oh, and happy 4th of July!

Do you go garage sale-in? (Who knows how to spell that? You know it’s a word… Don’t pretend you’ve never said it!)

Do you love finding a bargain? Believe one persons trash is another persons treasure? Then I’ve got a garage sale for you!

“Thousands of homeowners will participate in this 14 town extravaganza on the banks of the Mississippi River in Wisconsin and Minnesota.”

“A trail of distinctive colored ribbons will identify participating garage sales from Alma on the southern end of the Wisconsin side of Lake Pepin then north and then crosses into Minnesota in Red Wing, MN and then heads south…”

You can start your search anywhere along the route at 8:00 am and finishing at 5:00 pm all three days. Don’t worry about packing a lunch, churches along the route will have food ready for weary bargain shoppers.

For fun. All work and no play makes for a very slow day…

Setting the stage: What you see above is the drivers side door of my car. The white and brown “stuff” you see? Those are remnants of birds who have perched on the side of my car. You know… I don’t want to type it…not yet at least.

Take a second and see if you can answer the question you have to be asking yourself… It’s the same one I’ve been attempting to answer for the past week. Why on earth would a bird perch and then poop on my car door?

Are you back? Here’s my lighthearted attempt at answering this very puzzling question. It’ probably more Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy… But I’m game if you are.

What you don’t see in the picture are two crab apple trees directly to that side of my driveway. Said birds have been eating these crab apples… But, because the crab apples are way beyond ripe, I say they’ve fermented.

And because the birds are small, they become a little buzzed. Which we all know leads to bad things…

So, it’s Spring… Birds are feeling a little frisky, they’ll be settling down to nest soon…

Well, they make it to my car door, maybe to just rest because they know they shouldn’t be flying. But, what do their eyes see? But a reflection of them self. So they begin to puff their chest out a little bit, maybe strut, see if they’ve lost their winter weight… You know, all the stuff to make sure their lookin’ nice for the ladies…

And with all this funny business going on, they also happen to relieve themselves there as well. Ta-da, that’s how my door is a complete mess.

Well, does it make sense? Or am I completely off my rocker?

I do want to point out that I did zero research about anything I may or may not have said or thought throughout this post.

Have a great day. Feel free to buy a house from me today as well. I promise I’ll have my door cleaned off… Unless you’d like to see it…
