Keeping up with the Kasichs

The International Falls retired publisher is enjoying his summer at his home on Rainy Lake. Fishing is good, the beer is cold and he's finished replacing the dock that was taken out by record floods.  Readers may recall the ambitious dock build Wayne Kasich completed this spring, thanks to a lot of determination, elbow grease and help from his no good brother-in-law. The big lake, with its big weather, requires a brawny docking system, no lightweights here.
Wayne's work may be done, but the neighbor is just getting started. He apparently has no local relatives who work for beer, he's hired out the project. Here's Wayne's brief report, filed, we assume, from a chaise on his back yard with a cold one at hand.

"Our neighbor's hired dock builders showed up a few weeks ago. Last evening they boarded their barge and headed up the lake to get the fifth load of rock for the cribs. It's an hour run up and two hours back (or three beers). Unloading takes about three hours.
"We figured a guy could buy a new extended-cab pickup truck with what the rebuilt dock will cost. Insurance doesn't cover docks in this country."
