The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

The viewers have spoken

We recently had a focus group on this blog and one person showed up. The focus group thought this blog needed a contest so all 3.5 viewers could share in some of the life enrichment activities documented on the blog. When 28.57% of your audience wants something you'd better respond so TWW is having a life enrichment contest with a life enrichment prize. The glacier on Garbin Moraine melted far earlier than the experts predicted and Lake Garbin also exceeded predictions. So TWW decided to have a contest where mere amateurs could show up the experts by predicted the ice off date on the local lake.

Ice Off Contest
.
All you have to do is attach a comment to this entry with the date you think the ice will be gone. Be sure to include your moniker so we know where to send an e-mail with the grand prize attached. The contest closes on the day before the ice is gone. In case of a tie the prize (seen below) will be divided between winner (using a bandsaw). The decision of the judge (Mrs TWW) will be final. The winner (or winners) will be responsible for all taxes. Below are pictures of the lake and the grand prize. Good luck! (Note: only one entry per person)

Pretty clever, that the contest end the day before the ice goes off! Have you thought of getting a job in congress or with AIG?
