A Trip to the State Fair
We made our annual trip to the Minnesota State Fair.
A John Deere powered Ice Cream parlor. 
Fred flirting with Mudanna, the mascot of the St. Paul Saints.
Walking down toward the fairway. What a crowd of people. 
Liz pretending to be a Turkey.
Kate and Gerardo pretending to be cheese and milk.
My buddy the Spam guy. Spam is one of the major exports from Minnesota. 
Isn't this something. I had one just like it many years ago.
This is the neatest food we saw. It is a potato cut up with an apple peeler and a hot dog pushed through where the core was. It is then deep fat fried. I am going to try to make some.
This was the most interesting tractor at the fair. 
I made a movie of it running.

Astro R.I.P.
Yesterday, we ended up doing the deal on the Cash for Clunkers.
The old with the new.
Kate giving the Astro one last hug. It has been a good car. We will see how the Honda measures up.
We then when home and had rib-eyes for dinner.
Some pie for dessert.

Painting Movie
I thought I might post a movie of me using the paint sprayer.
Isn't that something?
Sunday Update
Here are some pictures of Fritz and Patricia from my trip to California.

Fritz found this little fellow on our evening walk. We brought the little fellow home for dinner. 
He was excellent.
