Culver Stellar Information Session
Stop by the back room of the Lakehouse Grille tonight from 6:30 to 8:00 for an open house to find out more about Culver Stellar Plans. Town council member Tammy Shaffer and Town Manager Jonathan Leist will be there to answer questions about our application for the state program, how the program works, and what projects are including in our plan.
We will have a map of the proposed trail route around the lake (draft version), floor plans and site layout options for the beach lodge, and a site plan for the Sandhill Farm Housing development, plus more on display.
Alexa
My Blog writing has suffered lately and I apologize to any of my lurkers that have checked in on me and have been disappointed. I blame it at least partially of how fast the grass is growing. The only good thing about all the mowing I’ve been doing is that I have actually lost a few pounds!
I purchased an Amazon Echo (Alexa) for my wife for her Birthday last year. Becky has a iPhone and constantly laments about how poorly Siri performs in comparison to Google on my Droid. While the voice activation isn’t perfect on the phone, it’s pretty good. The Amazon Echo takes this to the next step and relies on voice activation completely. Overall, we’ve been pleased with the ease in set up, its ability to search from verbal commands and its ability to provide verbal responses. Probably most of all we’ve been impressed with its ability to pick out our voices from amongst background noise as well as the quality of the sound it achieves from the single point speaker system.
Murphy Certificate
It was very fitting that I received this certificate recognizing my Grandfather’s Military Service over Memorial Day Weekend. He served in the Navy in World War II. The military funeral service for him last year was very moving.
Thank you Grandpa and all of the other veterans, past and present, that have served our country.
Charley Creek Inn Progress
We haven’t reported on progress at Charley Creek Inn recently. Things are moving along. Plumbing rough-in is complete. Strescore decking has been installed over the existing basement. And as can be seen in the picture to the right, the structural steel skeleton is nearly complete. Installation of the roof will begin this week followed by the installation of the second floor joist and deck. It is at this point that the building begins to take shape, though it won’t be until the masonry starts that the final “look” becomes apparent.
