I paid a brief visit to the Winter Frolic festivities down on First Avenue today. The City crews hauled in a bunch of snow and the 600 block was closed to all except snowmobile and foot traffic. It was nice to see some of those old snowmobiles. Some of those brands have been gone for years. Sno-Jet, Rupp, Johnson Ski-Horse were a few of the oldies. Some of the other brands like Ski-doo, Polaris and Artic Cat are still around, but they sure look different now. I spotted the really nice Scorpion (photo) and was transported back in time. Our family had one of these, but the hood had been painted an odd metallic green color. Same type of sled though, no doubt about it.

Thursday evening, my wife and I decided to eat at Blackwoods. I ordered a 10 oz. ribeye steak, medium rare. I was really pleased with it. The steak was not thick, but it was done perfectly and the BBQ sauce was really good.

FirstSolutions has been advertising the availability of their skilled labor force in an effort to retain, and possibly grow their claims processing operation located on 17th Avenue in Two Harbors. It appears their efforts have so far been unsuccessful. Most, if not all staff working at that location have received layoff notices with an effective date of April 30, 2010.
