January 22, 2019 "Fluoride Treatment" at Ski for Light

Jay and I snow shoo-ed and timed our route.  We’re picking up speed every time we do the track that is about 0.75 miles.  We had fresh snow today.

Today I brought my “fluoride treatment” to the ski area.  I had a long standing tradition of bringing my home made Kahlua to SFL and didn’t want to let anyone down.  There were many toasts made with those that remembered it and some new friends.

There was a group of 11 people that had dinner together at the Deadwood Social Club, a restaurant above the Saloon #10.  I had smoked pheasant in tuacca Alfredo sauce.  Very good.   There was Jay, Gary and Marie Trusty from Rapid, Tara Knutson from Sioux Falls, 2 couples from Toronto, CA, Don, Bev and me.

We then walked to the Bodega where Gordy Pratt was playing for our group.  Afterwards, there was karaoke.  This group loves their karaoke.  It was pretty loud and difficult to talk, so I walked Jay back to his hotel.  On the way back, I stopped at the Saloon # 10 to visit with a few friends, but it was an early night.
