Mike,
We are set for the U.P. Our group grew to 6 and Dave found a place along the river just north of the intersection to Crystal Falls.

Mike;

When I was stationed in Germany I had one, I say one drink of Slavavitz and never again, I swear it burnt half of my plumbing about beyond repair.

I have been looking at the weather for the Binghamton NY area via Intellicast.com. The long range forecast is for showers on Fri and Sat and chance of T-Storms Sunday. Temps mid to high 70's all three days.

Just came back from a trip to Croatia/Slovenia. Their trick with Slivowitz is to add a dollop of honey to it. Makes it go down 'way to smoothly.

Rick,
I'm looking forward to seeing you in the UP!
Mike

John,
I'm not sure I need anything to help the Slivavitz go down more smoothly!

Mr. Giles.
This Slivavitz is made by an old man in Hibbing, MN. It is not as strong as what you might have tried. I tried to light it but it wouldn't even burn. But it does burn a little on the way down!
Mike

Mike, you will be proud to know that I have browbeaten my brother into coming with me - the one who put the 8 gauge dent in that bottle you brought last time! He's primed and looking forward to it (maybe you should bring a second bottle!!).

For the newbiesL OK; first off, let's get the spelling right - its Slivovitz, not 'Slivavitz, Slovovotz, Schlovivats' or any of that. Mike, is the guy from Hibbing Bob Dylan's father by any chance? Or maybe Charlize Theron's boyfiend from the movie "North Country'? (God, what she did for apre-ski leggins!!!) K

Kevin,
I'm looking forward to seeing you and your brow beaten brother. I will brin plenty of Slivovitz. I don't know of the man's heritage but most men from the Iron Range come from a questionable past.
I will see you in a couple of days.
Mike
