What's going on ......


Dragon Boats this weekend
Always a riot no matter the weather
gonna have some photos for sure


I was trying to continue my Lake Superior spiel
including Silver Islet that we were visiting this past weekend
It was truthfully just turning into a history lesson
but expect some kinda post on that sometime soon
I'm three for three in getting skunked out fishing
on Superior
this last Saturday was really bouncy out there
so at least there was some excitement !!

I have some video I'm gonna post when I get a chance No fish were harmed or caught during the making of the video

Frustration Corner

Summer Weather and gas prices are alike

you can complain about em

but were all in the same boat

As we get

what we get

and

were getting ripped off.

Words I carry In My Heart

One little interesting spot in or on lake Superior is

Bayfield Wisconsin

Ms Doodle and I one day are gonna take the trip

do some kayaking at the Apostle islands and Sea caves

(Pictured above)

Apparently Bayfield is a short drive from

Superior WI and It looks like a cool little town

with lots to do depending on the time of year!

Rock On Wonton!

My Dinner's On Fire While She Watches TV

Continuing with my little spiel about Lake Superior

We went to Silver Harbour(pictured above) for a little stroll around

It's one of my favorite places to go and relax, think or smoke a Joint

It was nice out that day so it was crowded with campers and boaters

but it is still a neat little retreat!
The waves were rolling in and splashing against the rocks

with a view and a half of the lake on a sunny day, All we were missing was this!

The Boston whaler

AKA the Unsinkable boat and to me that means alot out on the Gitche gumee
We saw a guy and his two buddy's howl out from silver harbour in a nice size boat he got about 50 feet and there outboard motor died

they fiddled and bounced around out there for a good 5 minutes

then he got it going and carried on

Call me crazy but I think you want to make sure your O/B works before you go play in meter and a half waves......just sayin!

Bloody Well Right

Spent quite a bit of time in my life

out on the big lake that sits at our doorstep

recently I have become more intrigued on

the facts and figures of Lake superior

I spent a few hours out on the lake

Monday morning and Saturday morning

as we attempted to catch the elusive salmon

I sat there and thought we are lucky to have such

a famous and massive body of water a stones throw away

Outside the break wall rollers coming in

about a mile out there was a salty

a huge boat anchored and sitting idle

It is identical to this picture

Anyhoo the cool part was we took a cruise around the ship

just to check it out and the crew was painting the booms of the cranes

out in the middle of the lake
I had a vision where if a guy painting fell it would be a helluva ride

off the crane then down another 30-40ft to the frigid lake

then how do you get back on the ship?

cold and wet maybe a little hurt

Then I started thinking I would like to go for a little ride on

one of these lake ships maybe from here to Sault Ste Marie or something

It would be fun but not for a living

then I saw this.......

A Beautiful Thing

Well to tell you the truth I guess post number 300
was supposed to be more exciting then this however
this is it.....this is it ahhhhh prime time deliverance
Five days off and it went by like that
Camping was fantastic despite a weather concern like rain
We never got to the island because someone else beat us there
but camping on the main land was ummmm AOK
Collected driftwood via canoe to get our campfire goin
beers cold and the fire was goin
As promised Steak and eggs were on the menu
or on the grill so to speak, nothing like open flame cookin
I also did not do my Canada day question this year :(
usually I will ask the question and post a photo of some sexy Canadian bikini
Truth is we have been busy kids and I missed the window.
Went salmon fishing for a few hours on lake superior Monday morning
got skunked but it was fun no less
During my five days off I also felt a little guilty not bloggin
then today I was like I should write something meaningless or not
