The Omar Man + Packers vs. the Fort Atkinson Blackhawks

Posted on 7:23 AM by Unknown
First I must mention that there is a Star Trek documentary on the Science Network tonight called Star Trek Nation and talks about how Star Trek not only changed TV but society as a whole. It was created by Rod Roddenberry Gene's son.  Might be good . . . or not!
----------------------------

Farmers Almanac forecast for 28th - 30th for Great Lakes - Considerable cloudiness; increasingly windy with scattered rain and snow showers. WOW - going out on a limb there aren't they.

---------------------------

Hydro Street Brewing update. WELL - I could not see what the big problem with putting a range hood up, I mean come on - I put mine in (or had someone else actually), in an hour!!!

WHO KNEW the hood would weigh 700 pounds!! Today is the day from what I hear.  Too bad I'm working.  TENTATIVE plans are opening December7th in a quite celebration.

While I was in town I noticed a cool old truck parked on West James.  I had instant memory of The Omar Man.  I did a quick google and it seems The Omar Man was in more towns then Fort Atkinson.  The Omar Man was a door-to-door delivery man of fresh breads and other baked goods from Omar’s Bakery .

  “I’m the Omar man, knocking at your door, if you taste my bread (mmmm boy), your gonna want more.” 

ANYWAY - there was this truck parked and I went up to it and sure enough it was made in the late 50's.  As I approached it I saw a sing on the side that read "Gram pas Bus Service".  OH NOO!!  this is the bus service that Columbus got??

A guy was inside and I started talking to him and it seems HIS bus service was going to be for Badger games and so forth.  He had purchased some seats from an Antique store and was installing them.  I felt the need for photos. 


International Metro

The truck is an International Metro, one of the first step vans

OH - looks like we are in the prime time of the month to castrate farm animals!! SWEET!!!! Looks like it's get'r done night!

BTW - did you know the Green Bay Packers played the Fort Atkinson Blackhawks in 1934?



have a gray day!
