Recap!

Oktoberfest (St. Tim's style) ran super smooth this weekend. The guys all last week did a great job setting up. Crowds weren't bad, lots of food was had by all and made by even more. A great man name Joe and his crew worked every day down in the kitchen making the best pork loins and even better potato pancakes. We had John, Jim, and Glen wire all the booths, light all the fryers, and keep everything else running. Then there's the lady in charge, Jen runs the whole place, has ever answer and is able to keep her cool when things get a little sketchy. It was a great weekend and I'm so glad I could come down to help out.   

So the first night I was home, my sister had three of her friends over at the house hanging out. They left around 1, and about 1:02 my sister calls me from the driveway and tells me one of her friend’s car was broken into, an says that they see two punk kids run out. The other friend chased after them but lost them pretty quickly. I grab some protection and a flashlight and headed outside. Now don't jump to conclusion and say, " Kevin, you didn't need to bring any protection out". A) I didn't know the whole situation; B) we later found a can of law enforcement strength mace...so I'm happy with my choice. Sheriffs came took a report and looked around but nothing has come back. It was an exciting night, no one got hurt, but some sense of safety was taken away.

On a happier note, I have been working some on a plan. Not anything for my future education or life plans, but a little trip I hope to talk in the next couple weeks. I have been looking at taking a jump across the pond to Europe; visit a couple friends and some cool places. A little more prep time is needed to figure out flights, trains, places to stay and really what I want to do. It will be the first time I go over, and I’ll be going by myself. So if anyone has any tips or suggestions about things to do or see please, I’d love to hear them. I’m headed back up north today, back to many jobs. I miss the little kiddos so I’m pretty excited, I just don’t know how I’m going to get all my winter cloths packed!
