Middle of August Week

August 7th through 16th, 2009

Lake Lucerne
Saturday, August 9th was the day the O'Keefe Triathlon was held. Not wanting a hot, sweaty death, I participated by snapping a few pictures of those that are in far better shape/younger than I.
Lake Lucerne
The ski show on Wednesday was great, as were all the shows this year.
Lake Lucerne
The perseids were good this year. The moon washed out the dimmer ones, but there were plenty of brighter meteors. Mrs Nemo saw 26 on Thursday night, two days after the shower peaked.
Lake Lucerne
The lake got rain! 0.8 inches overnight mid-week! I think the boat will come off the lift without too much trouble for one more week. We need more rain.
Lake Lucerne
The week was hot, but signs of autumn were around.
Lake Lucerne
The wind picked up later in the week. Krispa won the "Gilligan of the Northwoods" title while sailing the north end of the lake despite not having that goofy, white hat.
Lake Lucerne
Crandon celebrated it's 100th anniversary on Saturday. The parade was impressive and largely void of creepy clowns.
Lake Lucerne
The UW marching band played in the parade and again on the courthouse lawn. To say they were good would be an understatement. They were fantastic.
Lake Lucerne
The weather was hot , but there was a feel in the air that it was changing. Forecast highs in the coming weeks will go from the 80's to the 70's and then the 60's (°F). Accuweather, as this is written, predicts warmer weather in 2 weeks. That's when we will be back.
