I'm a bit late posting this. But better late then never. In June we drove up into northern Wis. to Bayfield and Ashland. It was a really nice drive and we saw some great scenery especially along lake Superior. We stopped at several points of interest. One was this neat Barn built in about 1940 something. It was ordered through the Sears and Roebuck catalog. You could also order complete homes threw them also. They were really ahead of their time.

But here is why I could have really kicked myself.




Your turn. ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden )






Step right up. ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden )






Just to funny. ( photo / image / picture from Tooty2shoes's Garden )

This was just to funny. Someone really has a great imagination. Here are the rules for using it;
1.Do Not stand facing shoes.(Man that would hurt)
2.Do Not use this machine while in the prone position. (No kicking while you are down)
3.Only one person at a time please. (this is a self kick you machine-not have someone else kick you.
4.No climbing on the machine or horseplay.(please practice safe self kicking at all times.)
5. Children under 12 must be supervised by and adult.
6.Failure to follow the rules may result in you being asked to leave the machine. (we will have to Kick you off)
Cost
$1.00--for a good kick (the positive mental health benefits could save you thousands in analyst fee's)
$2.00---if you require proof that you kicked yourself (have someone take your picture so you can show your friends or analyst)

This is a self-service machine, based on the honor system. If you use the machine and do not pay, you will kick yourself later.
Bayfield winery does not claim to have invented the self-kicking machine. People have been kicking themselves for a long time.
Use it at your own risk--We are not responsible for those who do not like the way they were kicked.

That is just to funny. The pic's that follow are of painted murals that were on the street buildings in Ashland.

The next 4 pic's are of one long mural featuring settlers who lived in the Ashland area.

The quality of these murals was amazing. The last picture is of a restarant we ate at. I always wondered just how big Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox was. Now I know.

Well I guess with this last picture I will just mooooo-ve along. He, he, he.

Tooty, I grew up in a Sears and Robuck house. My mom and dad still live there. There are oak beams in the basement that are so hard you cannot pound a nail into them. At least think they are oak. They are hard whatever they are, anyway.

The self-kicking machine has four different sneakers, wonder where their other halves went? Can there possibly be another kicking machine?

Great photos Tooty!

WOW those murals are amazing!! I really like the street ones - what a talented artist.
A self kicking machine - there have been a few times that I could have done with that. LOL

That is a beautiful barn. I love the murals too. I wonder how they came about. Did the town commissioned them? Done by a single artist? They are beautiful.
