OK Let's get something straight:


I am not "In Charge". As per Deborah's request I'm going to inquire about cottage availability at a few choice places I know of that have nice cottages, not like the place Deb made us go to last time. You know, places that have like I don't know, screen windows, electricity roofs and things like that...... Places where you can take a shower even when it's not raining....... Just not at Pine Sliver or whatever that place was called. And the Congergation sang (everybody hold hands):

"George, George, George of the North woods........ Can't fix any thing..... Watch out for that.... Oh never mind.........."


Sunday evening, went fishing on big pond with the Jimmer, first time this year.............caught 2 fish. Jim got the big one I got the little one. Trolling with 6 lines. both fish tangled all 6 lines........ Jim's was a "Jumper", it danced a half dozen times, it was a cluster F**K. Jim actually had to pull his fish in the last 20 ft. with his bare hands as there was such a tangle that the reel couldn't get it in any closer, my fish went deep and wound itself around everything that was behind the boat.
Crazy weather, Coast Guard came on the Marine radio to announce a "Gust Front" was approaching. I asked Jim "What's a Gust Front"? He said "I don't know"??????? We are 4 miles out and the wind is from the south east @ about 5 Knots with 1 foot waves. I switch to weather radio. They tell us that the wind is going to change to NE at 5:53 pm. and go to 20 knots (25 mph). It was 5:45 pm. when we got the warning. Sure enough in about 5 minutes all hell broke loose. and just as fast it ended. .......See Picture. The little one is a King (Coho) and the big one is a Chinook, go figure,,.........I need a vacation..............

I don't care who's in charge, so long as its not me. I promised the boys the beach next summer. But, we'll try for both. I think we need to lay down a few ground rules. I'll start:

1. Absolutely no recipes that stretch over more than 1 meal, especially pasta salad!

Ann said...

Oh, and, nice fish! I keep forgetting to tell you that the smoked salmon that you left at Easter was a HUGE hit at my office. I was really popular for a day. Everyone keeps asking when I'm going to bring more.

Andy said...

Ann you are welcome. I'm Smoking that larger fish Wedensday and bringing it to work on Friday. All the guys want to have my baby. Ha Ha, now you can't close your eyes LOL.

Debbie: My shutdown is Saturday July 3 thru Sunday July 11, 2010.

Everybody else: Are you interested and can you make that week? Need to know how many cabins to look for......

I'll be very surprised if we can make this happen...

Good ground rule! Lynn and I want private lodging.

Judy said...

In what general area are you looking? We may be able to swing up for part of the fun, this of course providing that we are going to S.D.

Rule 2: no potato salad jokes....

Andy said...

Judy,

I'm looking around Minocqua area. So far no luck finding 3-4 cabins in the same place for that time period........

Judy said...

Well if we had to, this family could just grab a hotel room for part of the fun. If we weren't commited to SD, I'd say no problem for the whole week. Let us know asap what you come up with.

Ann said...

Judy,

If you did that, you wouldn't get the "full immersion experience"

Judy said...

I already did the full immersion experience... I grew up with most of you people!

Got a great scrabble word also:

tropbidi

Seriously, we'd love to do the whole week but we're also commited to the other~sort of...
