A day late on the weekend report but I was wiped out yesterday. Had a real nice trip up the lake - relaxed was the main project for the weekend. Windy on friday and sat with a few stray showers but sunday was beutifull. About 20 of us around up there and a bunch of kids, everything went well except one seperated shoulder while tubeing on friday, not me. But he got to spend about 6 hours at the er as we could not re-set it...
This was a state job with 3 supervisors for putting on the boat cover...
Got nipped by a storm on friday that made for a nice sunset...
Saturday was set up the rotisery smoker and cook some cajun injected turkeys and some pork butts - beverages manditory. Pork butts are always good but I was surprised by the turkeys. They look charred and I figured they'd taste like burnt wood but they were good, even when sober...
Heres my little buddy for the weekend. AW - he's the couples youngest son that came up pre-valentins day with us...
He was our wake-up call. Yep, sittin on my chest at 7am. Followed by and hour of wrestling...
I was his favorite raft...
He wanted me to take him fishing on sat in the worst way but with the wind it was near impossible off the dock. I explained to him that the fish had tummy aches from the waves and if it calmed down at the end of the day we could try. Right before dark he comes up to me and says "Uncle jay, could we try fishing, the waves are low"?
It didnt take long and he got to reel in some sunfish and perch. All the kids that wanted to got to...
Lots of fireworks around the lake on sat. We had a solid display ourselfs. They could be about the most dificult thing to photograph... I finally found the right setting and got a few decent picts...
Back to the real world today...
