First sunset of the Shack season

Da Klugs · 04-17-2009, 06:53 PM

Couldnt take it any more and left work at 1 today. Sunny, 60's time to officially open up the shack for the season. Jane and Mocha (lil dog) came up.

Called the boat people and arrainged a caravan. Stopped by the store on the way and 2 trucks followed me to the island.

Opened up the barn and ... everything had a dead battery. Pushed the rx7, 3 golf carts and misc crap out into the drive.

Hooked up the 2 jet ski trailers and the boat for the caravan back to the shop.

Stopped at the golf cart guys on the way back and they ended up coming to get one and promised to come tomorrow am to get the rest.

Charged and got the RX7 to start. Got 3 of the scooters to start (ones in the shop).

Went to the new pizza place with Jane for dinner and hit the car wash after to decrud the car.

We got home in time to sit on the pier and watch the first of many of this summer. Smoked a HMD petite robusto looking forward to another season. My blood pressure is way down.

Finally spring is here in Michigan a well. Near 70 today, but didn't look as nice as your photo. Nice

Lookin good. Was a beautiful day on this side of the lake too.

Great view and a great way to end a day.

TripleF · 04-17-2009, 08:40 PM

Don't know if it's the sunset, or the thought of smoking a cigar while sitting there on the peninsula watching it that makes me

Sure looks alot better with the ice gone when my ship went into the Bay in Jan...........can't wait for V and as I said at III......I could retire there.
