Get This Engine Running … or at least out of my garage
I have a car engine in my garage that I need to get rid of. It belonged to my ex husband and I don’t know anything about it. It may be good, it may be bad. I believe it went into a Honda Civic.
Is there anyway to donate this to a school that could use it to teach kids about auto repair? Or do something with it other than dump it?
I have a chain fall in my garage right above it to help move it and the chain fall came come with it to aid moving it wherever it might go.
Any ideas?

Bumper Pool
When was the last time you played bumper pool? For me, I think it was in my grandmother’s basement in about 1984. I’m totally in the mood for a game right now. I must get the bumper pool itch every 25 years.
For Torr…
I was asked to pass this along (time intentionally vague-my understanding is we have no need for “rules” or “formalities”):
This Thursday Evening – R.T. Quinlan’s

Nature Identification Quiz
Is that a hawk, a turkey vulture or a twig?

Camping Gear for Rent in Duluth
I am looking for a business that rents camping gear (tents, sleeping bags, camp stoves, etc.). We are planning a short weekend camping trip and aren’t quite ready to go all out and purchase everything. Is there anywhere in Duluth or Superior that offers this kind of service? Also, is there anywhere that rents small fishing boats?

Flower King from Duluth
Robert Isabell
Did you know the man behind Kennedy weddings and funerals, Studio 54 parties, presidential events and countless Vogue parties was from Duluth? Neither did I. You may not care about flowers and fashion, but this article in W magazine about Robert Isabell from Duluth is somewhat interesting (though they do refer to Duluth as “nowhere”).
Moooooo.
There’s an entry on the DNT’s Attic blog about milkmen. Which made me want a milkman to come to my house and bring me delicious dairy-ness. I tried to find someone online, but either my Google-fu is failing me, or the milkman has become extinct.
Anybody doing this still?
It’s that time again!!!
Get your bike out and ride. Bring a jacket. We’ll probably do about 60 miles, last month’s ride was about 70, and extremely nice. We even had some beers on my porch. But that’s beside the point, which is get out your bike and ride, because this is Duluth and there will be ice on the roads in a month 🙂
