Not wanting to disappoint my bride I got my carcass up, put on my best sweatshirt and away we went. Upon arrival at the casino we found a line of people waiting to see Sig that looked to be about an hour long. Immediately I had flashbacks to my times at Disney World waiting to get on Mr. Toads Wild Ride! Needless to say we got in line and wound our way up to Sig. Sig of course is the captain of the Northwestern fishing boat on Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel. I didn't know Pam even knew who he was! We shook hands, exchanged pleasantries, and asked to have our picture taken with him. Let me tell you this was the highlight of the day for Pam. She stood between the two of us and got a big squeeze from Sig while the picture was snapped.
Our impression of him is of a very nice man. Patient and congenial considering he probably shook hands, answered questions, and took pictures with groupies like us for over 2 hours. He even commented on what a beautiful area we live in.
While we stood in line we found out that The Mighty Short Bus was going to be playing later in the bar. One of my son Ryan's best friends is the lead singer for the group. Let me just say that these guys are good! They're based out of Madison, Wis. and play throughout the Midwest.
Thought I'd include a few scenes of the Mississippi as it looks right now for all of you who may be in the southern latitudes.
Unfortunately the weight of the snow and ice caused the roof of the dock Tourist used to reside in at Mid-Town Marina to collapse. These are (were) 50' covered slips.
