More Concrete being poured today. Looks like they will get up to the bridge today, hopefully Calumet tomorrow. Roeland/Valley road intersection is open, new lights are working. I plan on calling on Thursday to see what the schedule is for my side of the street. By my calculation they are 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule.

Carter and Kenzie are up north this week, golfed by myself this morning. Playing with AJ and Jimmy on Wednesday. So Kenzie apparently doesn’t think much of T Ball. She told her mom she didn’t want to play because she has to hit the ball off the stick and they don’t keep score. Guess she is a hockey girl. Might have sweet corn early this year. Rode my bike past the farm Sunday and there was some corn with tassels on it already.

Open Wednesday July 4th 10-6. Regular hours 9-9 Monday – Saturday and 10-6 Sunday.

Fresh seafood for Tuesday will be North Atlantic Cod, Ora King Salmon, Black Tip Shark, Live Bevan Oysters and Cherry stone Clams (the big ones) if they don’t take the whole bag for the order.

A mile of new concrete! After 7 pm on Monday and they are still working on concrete in the North bound lane of Oneida. Taft is the only East bound access across Oneida. Looks like Roeland might open up by the end of the week, they are putting stop lights up today. New concrete about a block North of Pizza Hut. Lots of traffic during the 3-6 timeframe, you may want to avoid Oneida during that time, come early or come late we appreciate your efforts any time you try.

Happy 35th to my oldest son Aaron. Didn’t have a 3 to go with the 5 so a 4 had to do. He didn’t get to blow it out anyway, Carter and Kenzie did. AJ made the cake. One big round pan, cut it in half and stacked and frosted it. Kenzie got it right away. Two big round thin layers wouldn’t have fit on the plate.

Thank you for shopping at and recommending my store to your family and friends, Richard.

Sorry about the last 2 weeks. Last week I was in Canada fishing and the week before I was battling the password and couldn’t get in.

Fishing was good, brought home our limit of walleye, 9 northern, 2 crappie and 2 lake trout. Scotty was the most excited about the Lake Trout. We tried a new spot and Scotty was texting Bridget when he got the first fish on. I said tell me when you get to 15 feet and I will get the net. He said I’m there, he was only 20 feet down. Very pretty 30 inch lake trout was in the boat in no time. Next day lets see if we can do it again and we did. This time about the same thing only a little deeper and a 28 inch lake trout in the boat.

Carter had one of his hockey/baseball friends and his dad along with us. The boys went swimming twice. Water temp on the depth finder was 66 degrees. Saw moose, otter and mink that we normally don’t see. Got 9 holes of golf in also.

BBQ Club is at the store in the south parking lot on Wednesday night 6-8 pm. Pork is the theme, cost is $10 per person donation. Come early to participate in cooking.

Road Construction update: Calumet east of Oneida is closed, supposed to be pouring concrete this week. Taft to close Tuesday 6/19. Murray straight into our lot is still open from the east. Good access from the west side lane of Oneida. Please be careful out there and thank you for your continued support.

Fresh seafood for Tuesday will be lake Trout, not the ones we caught.
Fresh seafood for Wednesday will be either Ora King or Scottish salmon, Black Tip Shark and Live Bevan Oysters.
Fresh seafood for Thursday will be a surprise to me, Don’t know what was ordered.

Sorry for the lack of e-mails, apparently tech people don’t think its a good idea to answer the phone, not high tech enough.

We were having dinner at AJ and Jimmy’s house on Sunday. Kenzie got the box of tape out and I put a strip on her forehead and was writing her name on it with permanent marker when her mom spotted me doing it. “Your not writing on my little girl are you?” It was kind of funny.

Road Construction update: Traffic has been moved to our side of Oneida Street two weeks ahead of what I was told so hopefully they are ahead of schedule. Traffic seems to back up at the light at Calumet between 3 and 6 pm. Shop earlier or later if possible. Right turns out of our driveway will be best at these times also. Roeland side is blocked south of us, East Calumet will be soon. When Calumet is blocked drop down to Murray. Murray comes straight into our lot from the East. We are on New Concrete south of us by the Mobil Station. Thank you for making the extra effort to get to us and all the businesses on South Oneida Street, We really appreciate it, Richard.

Store Hours Monday – Saturday 9-9, Sunday 10-6. We are OPEN Memorial Day Monday 10-6. Have a save Holiday.

Thank you for shopping at and recommending my store to your friends and co workers, Richard.

Happy Mother’s day to all the Moms. Just got back from a weekend in Columbus at my Sister’s. Round of Golf, Ballet, weaseled my way out of the quilt show. Nice weather, only a few rain drops that didn’t bother us. Nice run through Indiana also. Beer guys know what that means. My niece is home from her first year of Architect school but didn’t plan early enough for a summer internship. She has her old restaurant opportunity but if you know of any Architecture internships let me know.

Have located my passport for our Canada Fishing trip in June. Some snickers about me sneaking across the border if I didn’t find it. Carter and one of his Hockey friends and his dad will be going with us this year. The Dad is really excited about it.

Aaron and Becki were going across W on the way to Hayward. Aaron woke Becki up to tell her there were elk tracks on the side of the road. Becki looked and said probably from the elk standing in the ditch. They turned around and took pictures. Probably could have fed it carrots out the window too. We all had a good laugh at Aaron’s expense when Becki was telling the story and said “no wonder he can’t shoot an elk in Washington, he can see the tracks but not the body.” Aaron will be making his 5th maybe 6th trip to Washington elk hunting this fall. Most bets are on him not shooting one again.

Lots of concrete poured down by Valley road. Should be switching over next week to the Roeland side. East Calumet after that. Our side will be open until August 1st then hindered access for a month. Coming from the East drop down to Murray, it comes straight in to our lot. Coming in from the west, come down Calumet, easy right turn and a short bumpy ride to the store. I know how easy it would be for you to go elsewhere, I really appreciate your efforts to get to us.

Store hours are 9-9 Monday – Saturday and 10-6 Sunday

Fresh seafood for Tuesday will be North Atlantic Cod.
Fresh seafood for Wednesday will be Ora King Salmon, Canadian Perch, Great Lakes Smelt and Halibut Cheeks.
