Anyone doing anything fun? I'm supposed to think of something fun to do with the kids. Grand Rapids is usually a mess for fireworks, and Grand Haven can be a headache too. I've considered going up to Ludington, but I no longer have a place to stay up there. Any suggestions?

I'm going to celebrate my four glorious days off by building kitchen cabinets. . What a bummer. Can you still get to any of the little beaches on Lake Michigan? It's been so long i don't remember any names but there used to be some county park beaches between Holland and Grand Haven. Hoffmaster can be good too. I suppose the kiddos need fireworks though, so you might have to suffer with Grand Haven. Just park as closer to 31 as you can stand to walk, otherwise you'll be 2 hours getting out of town afterwards.

That's quite a story there, Mr. Skully. Now take your meds and get back to your room. Move along, nothing to see here.

Sleep, beer, cookout, fireworks in Fenton, garden work, beer.
I heard Skully broke the rules the other day. Seems he was trying to light his farts from a sparkler and there was an accident. Something about he eating too many Jack Links jerky sticks and when he farted his entire body of sasquatch fur was lit on fire.

I drank and sand barred it up all day Thursday and watched fireworks on the next lake over that night. Friday went to lk. St. Clair for the day musky fishing with no results except overexposure from the sun then Saturday the inlaws came out for the night, following up with Sunday, sand barred it up again and drank too much which was followed up with alots of water to prevent severe hangover monday morning,

Good to see you here again. We need a gold panning update.

Good to see you here again. We need a gold panning update. Got the email (I don't check it too often) Guess it's been a while since I checked up on things over here. Only panned once this spring. I guess I am cured from gold fever Been working a lot and fishing little this time of year. Been out bowfishing a few times and taking the sail boat up to the leelanau peninsula next weekend for a few days of sailing Grand Traverse Bay with my two brothers. That should be fun. Did a 60 mile plus boat trip on the inland waterway a few saturdays ago with the Starcraft. That was a good time.

Sounds like you've been getting around. I love the Leelanau area. I've got a walleye expedition to Lake Leelanau planned for late September. Which inland waterway? Indian River?

Yeah. Indian River. Launched at Burt Lake at ten a.m. ventured through Mullett to l. Huron. Went out on L. Huron about 2 miles. Then boated back to Burt then all the way up to Crooked lake and back to the launch at Burt. Pulled the boat out at 9 p.m. That was the first time on that system of water. Only regret is wish I would have put a line in the water. Honestly never had time to. Wife was a tad sick of boating after that day. Lol. It may have been because of the 2.5 ft waves we dealt with coming back across Burt. Lol.
