I’ve lived in Faribault my entire life but my wife and I enjoy traveling all around Minnesota as well as the surrounding states. When I’m not at work I’m usually spending time with my grandchildren and my grown children. I enjoy going to watch the Vikings, especially at US Bank Stadium, concerts, taking my wife to various musicals and going out to eat… I really enjoy that, as my bathroom scale can attest. I love music and spend a lot of time on the weekends looking for CDs of big hair bands that I don’t currently have in my collection.

Mike’s Crappy Birthday
On Saturday, my family threw me the only surprise birthday party that I've ever had. And it had a poop emoji theme, which I found quite hilarious. My actual birthday isn't until next Saturday, but I'm usually busy with the Rice County Fair, so they threw an early party, complete with poop emoji cupcakes and poopsi (Pepsi, it's my favorite)...
Fun at the Waseca County Fair

Today is Your Last Chance to Pin Some WWE Tickets
