A Little About Me

My name is Mike. I'm a father of three, married 11 years next week. I'm a machinist by day, and a GPT fanatic by night. I'll be explaining the GPT thing soon, so stick with me! We live in a small community in Wisconsin, surrounded by farmland and cows as far as the eye can see. While city living isn't my thing, country living can get boring sometimes, which is one of the reasons I've turned to the internet. I'm getting ahead of myself. Back to me.....
I'm an avid fisherman with two boats. One an 18ft that I use for fishing the smaller lakes for walleye, and one a 24ft that I use for fishing Lake Michigan for King Salmon, Lake Trout, and Rainbow Trout. If I'm not working, I'm fishing. Even in the winter! I break out the ice shanty, cut a hole in the ice and fish. I look forward to February every year when the sturgeon spearing season opens. There's nothing better than sitting by that huge hole, waiting for that big, prehistoric fish to swim through! Speaking of which, I have to remember to get my license before the end of this month!
This is my favorite time of year. I'm a HUGE football fan. Ranking right up there with sturgeon spearing is high school football. My oldest son plays on the Junior Varsity football team at the high school. Sitting in the stands watching him play makes me so proud! His games are on Thursday nights, and then the two of us bundle up and head to the school again on Friday nights for the Varsity game. Our Varsity team is 5-1 right now, heading to the playoffs next week. We'll be there too, I'm sure!
Talking about football, the oldest boy and I went to the Packer game this past Sunday at Lambeau Field. What a rush that was! The Packers won, 17-14. We had pretty good seats, about 50 rows up in the corner of the endzone. We didn't get up there in enough time to tailgate like most people do, but you can bet we'll make it earlier next time. That looks like a heck of a good time!
Ok. so there's a little about me. Nothing special and I don't claim to be. Just a man, with a blog, that feels like he might have something to say that might either interest people or maybe even help people.
