The Sno-Go makes short work of widening the banks along US-41. We haven't had the needs for bringing out the big guns so far this year. Sometimes I would love one of these (or a smaller version, I suppose) to make short work of the driveway.

Morning!

Good Morning

Happy Friday!

Nite

There was a question yesterday about the state of the old Scott Hotel in Hancock. That's the building that housed Hancock Hardware for many years--it is to your right as you round the last curve to go into downtown Hancock.

There are three retail shops on the first floor -- Miller's Jewelers, Gadgets Gizmos and Toys Galore, and an office of Edward D. Jones. There is a lot of activity behind the building -- the parking lot has become a staging ground for the contractor who is renovating the upper floors. That space will become apartments.

My aunt used to live there many moons ago. Those apartments were nice. And there was a hardware store down on the first floor. I used to love to go there at Christmas time cuz they always had toys and decorations that I liked to look at. So my parents would visit my aunt and I'd go to the hardware store.

Trollperson, what do ya mean by "nite"? Do you live under a bridge without sunlight? Maybe you work nights? Well, good nite, sleep tight!

Good morning to the rest of you!!

Hey, can he make it down here on my street? Need it badly.

Good morning all! TGIF!! Here is some good advice for today:

Be yourself! Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind!!

If I be myself here in the office, people think I'm wierd. They just don't understand it's a Yooper thing!! Whenever I tell a joke/story, I have to replace "Eino and Toivo" with "JimBob and Bubba", then they get it.

That's ok though; I don't mind being the outcast of the office ;-)

Deb, 2 days in a row! - didn't you get the early bird yesterday too?

When the Scott is fully transformed into apartments maybe a lot of us reading this page should move to the CC??? What a rowdy bunch that would be!!!

Capt. Paul, just remember; igneous is bliss.

Good advice Cha-Cha and to me you matter!

I see someone has armed themselves with a geologic dictionary or textbook....... or both!!

Have a great weekend, eh!! I'm outta here for the rest of the day. Talk to ya on Monday!

Capt. Paul, I almost flunked Earth Science and had to cram to get an A on my final exam or face summer school. Still remember the questions and answers to this day. It was all my FAULT!

P.S. Google helps too!

Tom, I'd be the first one evicted!

if igneous is bliss then what is metamorphic???? i sure dont know...

That picture makes me think of my Grandpas snow blower he totally rigged up, he added plexiglass and a roof so he could do the driveway without getting blasted. That was one heck of a piece of Finnish engineering.

Sedimentary my dear Watson, sedimentary.

Re: Scott Hotel renovations, and "... a lot of us PastyCam viewers moving in..."

I could almost handle that myself...

Next project: Resurrect the ol' Kerridge Theater next door, then we'd have a venue for Gonna be a Yooper (Joanie) to hold forth with her stand-up comedy show!

Click ® Copper Country Reflections: Old Postcards from Hancock Kerridge theater is the second picture on the page.

Ooops, and in view of Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper)'s "Sedimentary" joke (I missed that while hunting for a picture of the ol' Kerridge theater), we'll have to let Joanie & Deb both do the standup comedy show!

... and the comedy show can also alternate between playing at the resurrected Kerridge and the Calumet Theater!

we usually went to the Kerridge...
Saw a ton of Disney movies there...Tonka...
Old Yeller, Bambi...all those great hunting flicks.

Years ago I use to rent a apartment above Ciucci's
Market on the Main Street in Houghton. Does anyone
know of the Ciucci Family? Thanks.
