Man, it was scary and cold outside....The firemen worked for about an hour and a half...lots of nooks where the fire could smolder......Chicken coop was totaled....all chickens were dead, including a duck or two....damage to neighbor's fence....Could have been so much worse....a heating lamp caused it.....Thank God Gwen put the coop as far from any house as possible....

\Sportsmans Tiki Bike Ride, Saturday Aug. 5th!
Dave, Dan and Don are hosting their annual bike ride around the lake. Got the following email from Dan:

My first bit of news is that Danny, Donnie, and Dave are hosting our annual Sportsmans Tiki Ride on Saturday 8/5/23. We previously talked about doing a Tryon reunion on the day after (8/6), but we will not be doing that this year. You are still welcome to come to the fund raising ride we do on 8/5. Last year we helped raise over $30,000 for our trails and this year we expect 700-1000 riders. Wow!

Next possible get together is tailgate party for UNI at ISU on Sept 2nd. We have a lot of UNI and ISU grads in this family. We will even let the Hawkeyes in the family attend. Hope to see you there. Dave is host of this famous tailgate party.

Thought I would start a fb group to see if it is of interest to a lot of us. I know not everyone is on fb, but this is one way to get the word out about family get togethers or family news we want to share. And, of course, Dick’s website is the best place. I sent fb invites today 7/21/23 to those on my feed. Feel free to add those I’m missing. Fb site is called “Tryon Family”
Sounds like great, Tryon fun!!

TRYON SAP OF THE MONTH
A couple of weeks ago, I was home alone....and decided to cook......Now this urge does not come my way very often......My daughter has banned me from using the burners on the top of stove, (another story for another time) but I can and do use the oven.....(Jack's Pizzas).....Well, she was not around, who would know?.....I decided I could micro wave soup, but thought I would make grilled cheese to go with the soup.......Now, I remember what Mrs. Oxenford told us back in middle school......butter the OUTSIDE of the bread.....put cheese in the middle...cook until golden brown.....use fry pan......NO PROBLEM.......even a Biden supporter could do this.......

So I turned on the burners.....I could not read them very well, but figured the more I turn to the right, the higher the heat.......I buttered slices, added cheese and gently put them in the pan.....and waited....they were smoking pretty good and I got to worrying that I had the burner TOO HIGH.......and then I remembered......I had to be very careful about the handle of the frying pan......I could have a disaster and spill and burn every thing...including me....THE PAN's HANDLE MUST BE TURNED TOWARD THE INSIDE to prevent me knocking the pan to the floor.......so I look, but I CANNOT find the handle to the fry pan.....WTF?.......(remember my vision is not the best)......Ooops.....then I discovered the SAP moment.....I had put the buttered bread directly on the burner....NO PAN.....It looked like a pan to me....Big Mistake....notice photo.......burnt grease, butter splattering everywhere......When my girls came home, they cleared the smoke and  noticed right away.....Grandpa's been cooking....(How do you turn off those smoke detectors again?).........and my sandwich was pretty crisp and burnt......soup was good, however.....SAP OF THE MONTH......I am now back on probation....

Thursday, April 13th
