Like many places in the country, Minnesota has weather that can change drastically overnight! Just yesterday it was sunny, calm and 82 degrees with water temps in the 70s. Today, the high will be 59, and I find myself starting a fire in the woodburning stove. Generally, late August weather provides sunny and comfortable days and chilly nights – very conducive to leaving the windows open at night for cool fresh air for sleeping.
It's also time for the Minnesota State Fair. Through my travels across the country, I’ve often received a sideways glance when I mention this event. Billed as the “Great Minnesota Get-Together,” it has been documented as one of, if not the, largest of all 50 states! I’ll be there again this year for perennial favorites: cheese curds and corndogs. The events signal the end of summer slipping into fall. Which means hunting season is just weeks away. Late September and October are probably my favorite time of year. And this year is no exception as Bruno – our German Shorthair Pointer and the newest member of the family – is full grown, professionally trained and ready for grouse and pheasant hunts. So, my anticipation is especially high!
Two weeks ago, while on a training run in the field, Bruno discovered the downside of barbed wire fences. Ten stitches and a dozen staples later, he was patched up and placed on a 12-day supply of trazodone “doggie downers” to give time to heal. The staples are out now, he’s cleared to hunt and I’m hoping he learned the fence lesson.
It’s showtime, Bruno!
Analogous to the upcoming hunting season for us at Tamarack: the fall conference season (the Great Equipment Finance Get-Together!). Yes, we have a suite of both established and proven products (DataConsole™, ExecutiveAIR™ and TrailView™), but, like Bruno, we’ve been working for the last year on a few new things and are ready for the big shows! (See SyndicationBuilder™ and FloorPlan.)
Looking forward to meeting with you at this fall’s industry events to share some pictures of Bruno in the field and learn what you are excited about in this next season!
