Sometime I am mistaken for the Hoff

July 24h, 2020 was a steamy Friday in the greater Nisswa area.  We decided a split attack was in order again today.

Elle , Lara, TB and I head over to the Preserve for 18 holes of ⛳️.  The morning started off a little cloudy and windy but by the end it was sunny and steamy.


First tee at the Preserve. Let’s Go!!!! Hit ‘em, Find ‘me and hit ‘em again.


Elle aka the Lama going big of the tee.
Elle that bag looks a little heavy. Is there anything in there other than golf equipment?


At the turn, everybody needed a little gluten free swing juice.


Lara making her move.


Elle setting up for her shot.
We all survived golf.  Played a little lefty/righty for skins and the Wads for putts.  Not a lot of money exchange hands and we had a great time.

Back at the cabin, Kari and the rest of the girls ate some breakfast and prepared to go on a pontoon ride.  Gracie was fired up to get some floating Rosé bottles and Donuts in the water.

We grabbed a little lunch and TB and Monkey (Kim) managed an oil light situation on the pontoon.

We played  some cards, mostly Wist. A game that Katie and I are hard to beat at.  Ashley and Kari didn’t fair very well. Like the song says for Katie and I “All I do is win”.

We did learn something:
Everything is Kari’s fault and Ashley can no longer continue to carry the burden especially when we are competing in family games.


According to Ashley this may be Kari’s current peer group.


After Kari was banished TB dropped in and helped Ashley defeat Katie and I in an abbreviated game.  I want to emphasis Katie and I are undefeated in official length games.

Now it is pontoon time.

Katie is ready for the pontoon.


I will keep drinking this till I can hit it like Elle off the tee

Now I appear completely relaxed here but then things started happening.  First the inflatable ball blew away. As we chased it down Kari’s hat blew off into the lake. Just like The Hoff I sprang into action and saved the hat from a watery grave.



Just when I thought I was done. The inflatable bottle of Rosé blew out of the boat.  Again just like The Hoff, I sprang from the boat to rescue our precious floaty.


The note on one drivers car when we returned from the boat. Probably blame this on ......???

After the boat we all cleaned up and had a great dinner at Char steakhouse.  Here is the list: Crab cake, great, 7 oz filet with blue cheese, great, lobster Mac & Cheese. 

Interesting story, at dinner I saw a couple sitting at another table.  I knew that I knew them so I went over to see if they had ever had a hip or knee replacement and the gentleman said “Yes”.  I asked “Who did it?”  The couple was like “Scott Anseth!!!!” I was like “That’s me!”.  We talked for a little bit and I was able to introduce them to TB, LB and Kari.  This couple was really wonderful and on the down low paid for our dinner. What they didn’t realize was that there was a  table of 5 girls that left 25 minutes ago, also on our account.  They refused to take no for an answer.  They said some very nice things.  It is alway cool to see patients out living their lives. This time it was especially cool.  After dinner the girls crushed The Chocolate Ox.

After dinner TB & LB’s friends Kim (Monkey) and Shayna came to visit - little did they know they would become entangled in a game of Throw Throw Burrito. After that it was watch the Twins start 1-0 and then off to bed.
