Floor Weekend
2005
Edition
Greeting from NW Wisconsin!
Last weekend was the first and hopefully the last
floor weekend. We can finally say the floor got laid so when you
walk on the floor thank a layer. See the
rest of this issue of the Go-Fer for pictorial highlights
of the weekend.
Getting the Floor Laid
Globilization is a fact
of life. Even the board of directors has gotten on the bandwagon by
outsourcing the laying of the floor on the main level. The
work was outsourced to G. A.
Strawball & Co. of Chestrocker. Although there were
allegations of a conflict of interest on the part of the Executive
Director in the end cabin board members gave the current Executive
Director a vote of
confidence -- this in spite of calls for reopening the bidding
process by Q
& D
Construction Company. The following pictures summarize the
progress made over the weekend. The only way you will know
what a quality job the cabin got is to come up to the cabin.
The day began with a
breakfast by Quick and Dirty Catering.
The professionals from G.A.
Strawball (give them a hug to thank them if you see them).
It took all day but we finally
found the foreman doing some actual work.

hard day of work.
Ask Elmer
Q. I am leaving for another
country in hopes of finding myself so won't be able to come up to
the cabin. Do you have any advice?
- Seniorita from Stewartville
A. Since the cabin newsletter is on the
Internet be sure to take the URL with you when you go. But if that
fails you can find the newsletter in Google if you try long
enough.
Q. I am off at college and an searching for new
ways to rebel against my parents who are strong union people. What can
I do?
- Duped in Dakota
A. First of all you can be sure to say
good things about the Bush administration (you may have to search hard
but it is possible). Another option is to get a job at a big box
nonunion store for the summer. Be sure to tell you parents about
how well they treat you at work.
