First Skate

Last weekend update:

Friday: Sheboygan gets nailed by an Oklahoma Hooker 8" of snow accumulation....I was watching the WTMJ News and the weather man called the storm an Oklahoma Hooker...I thought it was great! My previous favorite storm was the Alberta Clipper.

Saturday after a long day at bike n ski I worked up the energy to get out the skate skis and hit the trail. Skiing at night for the first time in a year was pretty nice. I went out with Andrea and Mike V our neighbor. Check out that sweet packer hat...I found it in a dumpster.


After skiing we went to Jalisco's, the local Mexican restaurant, for some good grub and la musica. Saturday nights they have a small mariachi band...they rocked. I almost requested Feliz Navidad by Julio Iglesias, but after hearing it 10 times a day on the radio I passed. I ordered some Gorditas and they were excellent. I am a huge fan of Mexican food and there are 3 great places in Sheboygan. El Camino, Jalisco's and La Raza. After living in Tucson I have pretty high standards for Mexcican, but theses 3 fine establishments are primero.


Sunday: Another session of skate skiing w/ a big crash that really hurt my hip/butt when I landed on some ice...I just don't understand the people who think its cool to walk right down the middle of the groomed ski trail. In the evening we drove down to Mequon to the Highland House for the PCW Team Banquet. Everyone was there and the free beer was good. I had a Sprecher root Beer. PCW had big plans for the Superweek race in Sheboygan. And PCW is going to be selling there very own coffee. Check out http://www.pcwcycling.org/ for an order form and prices.

Is that the same Jalisco's that's in Milwaukee? Man, their burritos ROCK. Nothing beats one of those after Downer Ave!

I hope you washed the hat from the dumpster before you wore it!
