Eight years ago on the Pasty Cam: 10/18/98^{Printed on Recycled Internet}

Eight years ago, the Pasty Cam caught Matt and Gloria North of Dollar Bay taking off for a lively tour of Copper Country color. Today would be the day to motorcycle around -- there's a chance of snow each day for the rest of the week. Sounds like good weather to enjoy a Patsy Central pasty ...

Morning All!

Good morning! Looks a little cold to be on that bike.

Today pics;

I'm with Deb about riding a motorcycle this time of year...brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Debrajean, how is your move to da UP going? I thought of you the other day, because Deb had sent me a video clip of dominos falling in a pattern...and it was done on Brunswick pool tables ;) Thought you would get a grin out of it.

congratulations on MATT & GLORIAS 50TH WED ANIV

Dan you better check the Aniv.date, no way they have 50yrs together yet!!!!!!

A freighter, the Montrealais, dropped anchor in Bete Grise Bay about 2 hours ago. And the James B. Aird, pictured, just dropped anchor also.

The weather doesn't look threatening; any one have any ideas on why they are here?

Yea, they heard Mrs. Bill is making meatloaf!lol


Nice Pic Bill, always enjoy the freighters

Mrs. Bill's meatloaf is like a Christmas fruitcake, you can't think of enough people to send it to.

Uncle Chuck, what's your address?

You are so lucky to be there to see that all the time.

Shame on you Mr. Bill!!!!!!!!! That deserves a dinner of Hamburger Helpper in MY home!...I'm SO envious of your position there to see all the ships taking refuge in the Bay. And I'm still looking for a chicken coop or dog house to rent in that area :>)

Hmmm, even the NWS Marquette Open Lake Forecast for Lake Superior doesn't look particularly exciting:
