As of the posting date of this blog, I have a large inventory of spare parts for authentic neon beer signs. Please contact me through the "Contact Tim" tab above and be sure to browse through the photo gallery below.

I was invited to race with some Twin Cities media folks on Sunday evening.  It was for a great cause and I had an awesome time. 

We spent the past week up north in Duluth and the north shore, Arrow-head region of Minnesota for an annual family trip.  We had a great time and saw many beautiful parts of the state.  Kayla and Rylie did enjoy all of the stops, but seemed to want to go back to the hotel to swim or go to the arcade.  Oh, the simple pleasures.

The Minnesota Twins Radio Network (MNN) held an affiliate appreciate event at Target Field on Tuesday.  I continue to be impressed with the amenities, design and atmosphere of this shrine to Minnesota.   

Congrats Rylie for making such a beautiful piece of art that was chosen to be on display at a public event. What's your plan for 2nd grade?

After so many years waiting for our new field, I actually got to walk through the gate on April 2nd.  I was like a kid at Christmas time.  I had goose bumps as I walked through the gate 29 (every gate numbered after a famous retired Twins number).  Of course, you know who 29 is. 

Here are 82 photos covering as much as I could capture.

Ok, so It was really a 231, but they add in my 67 league handicap.  I bowl every Monday for the KYMN Radio team.  It's the Businessmen League at the Jesse James Lanes here in Northfield.  I recently purchased a new ball which helps with my hook.  This is my first year doing this, so I'm gradually getting better each week.  My first game was a 194 and my last game was a 126 in Monday's three game set.  Guess I need to work on my endurance. 

Scoring was 9, /, /, /, X, X, X, X, X, X, /.

AL FREELAND

We have been in town since 1981, but it was only in the last couple of years that I noticed the tree.  By “the tree” I mean the giant cottonwood tree by the old metal bridge on Canada Ave., Northeast of Northfield.  When the tree finally caught my eye I was totally amaze by the size of this “old man of the woods”.  The base of the tree was hollowed out, but it still looked strong and not in danger of toppling. 

After attending the last regular season game at the Metrodome the Twins beat the Detroit Tigers in a one game playoff, 163rd game of the season.  This following 12 inning game was considered by many to be one of the most entertaining games in Twins history, considering the Twins were 7 games back just weeks prior and was the second time in 4 seasons that the Twins beat the failing Tigers on the last day of the season. 

In a stark turn of momentum the Twins were swept in 3 games during the following ALDS by the “Evil Empire” (Yankee’s).  I feel lucky to have had my team with the Central Division title as they left the Metrodome. 

Here are photo galleries from the last games that I attended.  Third to last.  Last game.

Following the last out during the final game at the Metrodome ever, they removed the home plate and moved it to the new Target Field.
