The classroom for trumpet stuff at SE Minnesota State College (during break time).
The trumpet I will repair. The school has some arrangement with a Minneapolis music store; their stuff is repaired for a set price and we students do the fixing. This one is all shiny after a chem flush, and it has lots of stem and mouthpipe dents plus a bell fold...impressive, ya?
Last Sunday (Sept 16) Linda and Scott came down with their bikes and their two kids; we went for a ride on the Cannon Valley Trail. Here's the start of the trail in Red Wing.

A couple of weeks ago we went across the Mississippi then north to Prescott, WI, and back across the river to Hastings, MN. Here's a shot of the Mississippi River from Prescott.
A few shots of the old part of Hastings, including the old courthouse built in 1869.

I love this sign at the American Legion hall; check the times for happy hour.
