Swim, Pint, and a Round

Ready to anticipate warm open waters again? Come join Handyman Hank and I tonight,  at Shorewood H.S. swim pool (from 8:10-9:10 ), and afterwards get a pint at Draft and Vessel  while listening to the Irish jam. Perhaps to sing a round to waken the Lady from her cold slumber and welcome in a warmer spring.

Kru Logic

The air temp is -20℉, windchill is -50℉, and the Lake Michigan water temp is 33℉.  Because of this, your typical Kru member thinks to him or herself "hmmm, if I went for a swim in the Lake today": (1) the water is going to feel much warmer than the air; (2) good acclimation opportunity so the water is going to feel much warmer in a couple of months when the water temp is in the 40s; and (3) I bet a shot of Killepitsch is going to taste really good today when I get out of the Lake! 

Pizza, Beer & Movie

Tired of the same old Netflix and Chill?  Time to head to the theater this Tuesday Night.

A friend and I are going out for Pizza, Beer & a Movie on Tuesday Evening to see AQUAMAN. If you care to join us let me know.  Here’s the details:

• Pizza, Salad and Beer:  5:45 Reservation at Zafiro’s Pizza, Marcus Northshore Cinema (11700 N Port Washington Rd, Mequon) (Reservation under the name of “Sandie”)
• Aquaman:  7:00 (this is a Tuesday night flic, so all seats are $5.00). 

If you intend to come, let me know (either via email or in the comments, so I can get a table big enough for us (current reservation is for eight).  If I’m missing email addresses, please forward to those I’m missing.  Cheers.  --  Kahuna

Auld lang syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne,

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right guid willy waught,
For auld lang syne.

Too much time, not enough swimming
