I AM RETIRED

I am retired! I am retired! I am retired!

Well I'm mostly retired. But like an alcoholic I sometimes sled back. I like being on the water, and I like making A few bucks from time to time. Jim the owner has been a friend of mine sense we were teenagers so we have a good time bobbing around out their.

Yesterday out on the lake the boat trifice wasn't as bad as I though it would be. Everybody must have known the lake was mostly froze and went somewhere else. Today won't be bad either.

It snowed here all night. Most of the early evening it was mixed with rain. But we did manage to get about two inches on the ground by morning.

We're starting work a little later this morning, so I'm taking Grandma out to Breakfast. And by the way HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you mothers. That didn't sound right I meant to" all you mother's of children.

FISHING OPENER

Good Morning;

It's finally Saturday. It's finally the first day of fishing. So what am I doing this morning? I'm working. Opening weekend I usually don't go fishing on Lake Vermilion anyway, It's way to crowded. Now today I'll be out their fighting the crowds with a forty foot barge. Most of the lake is still covered with ice. Out of a lake that's twenty miles long we have only a few miles of open water. With hundreds of boats packed in the narrows. I hope we don't run over anyone. I'm going to take a camera today to get pictures. I will be working tomorrow to But this will only last for about three more weeks.

I've still have a lot to learn about this computer. I found a blog sight that I'd really like to reply to but for some reason I can't send my coment's . I got through once, she takes wonderful pictures of birds http://lisaschaos.blog-city.com/ I'll get it figured out.

And with all this business, I will come up with a story for Monday morning. Grandma reminded me of the hunted house I had in our town when I was a kid. Mabe that will work.

HEAVY LOAD

I use to go to work feeling like this. I don't anymore but I know a lot of people who do. They think they will get it all done, or they will come out ahead, or they will make a lot of money, or they will keep everyone happy. I guess you have to get older before you realize you're not getting any place that way. You have to lighten you're load sometime to get ware you're going.

A PAIR OF GEESE

I don't know what's more interesting the two geese with no ware to go, or the two feet of ice that won't go. I took this picture yesterday. This time of the year the ice should be gone. All the rivers are flowing over banks into the lake and it's melting around the sides. But other then that 10 to 15 feet of watter you can see their is at least two feet of ice. Fishing season opens in six more days.
My busy time at work is from ice out for three to four weeks. I need to be on the lake lowering docks and putting in boat lifts. It takes a crew of three in one boat about four weeks of long days and weekends just to get all the docks that we have down. And on the bardg the two of us will take about three weeks to place all the boat lifts. If this isn't all ready by opener customers start to complain. We can't do anything about the ice but some of these cabin owners seem to think it's our fault. Is the customer right? I dough it.

p.s day before yesterday I got a bad hair cut I tryed to fix it it got worse. To make a long story short I shaved my head.

WORK ON SAT.

Good morning; for some reason my computer won't let me upload any pictures. But that's OK . I haven't much time. It's Saturday and I'm going to work. I could work Sunday to but I'm going to cry uncle and take a day off.

Well every one have a good weekend. And I'll try to come up a story for my Monday morning story blog.

I got a picture to come up. It's not the one I wanted but it's something.
