Sure enough, it was very large. It took us over 5 hours to walk through all the aisles of the swap meet. I got some fancy new plastic skis for my sled (at an amazing price!) and some engine parts I wanted. Also some rear suspension springs ($1 a piece!). All in all we had a good time and I got some good deals.<\/p>\n<p>This up and coming weekend is MTU&#8217;s homecoming celebration. We have our homecoming games in football and volleyball as well as our first hockey game of the year. And of course there are all of MTU&#8217;s &#8216;Hobo&#8217; themed activities.

It also sounds like my grandparents will be around for homecoming weekend, so that should be a good time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hmmm, it&#8217;s once again been a while since I&#8217;ve updated this site.
