    My wife and I have made many sacrifices to get here. I've busted my a$$. Worked all the overtime I could get. Took on extras tasks at work to move up. Lived frugal. Drove crap cars. Drank cheap beer. Took no vacations. ETC. ETC. ETC.

    Tomorrow it all pays off. We take possession of our cabin on our land in the Northwoods. This is my life's dream.

    So enough of my chest beating. Wish us luck as we start our new endeavor. The car and trailer are packed and we leave first thing tomorrow for the 3 hour drive north so that we may accept the keys.

    For all of you that read this. Caulk one up for the working man and the American dream. I'm here to tell you first hand that if you have a dream and are willing to actually work for it. It CAN and WILL happen.

    Yes, 46. So you are a Nueske's man I take it? Love their bacon.



    How did you end up moving south to Waukesha?

    Two of my brothers worked for Nueske's Meats during the winters many moons ago. They were paid in bacon. No joke. I went to school with the Nueske's kids.

    I have lived all over the state. Price County, Marathon county, Portage county, Taylor county, Waukesha county.

    Ive worked for a few companins over the years and was a contrator for a while. I still do all my hunting in Marathon and Portage County.
