    Just finishing off what I started 3 days ago.
    Its time for a couple days of rest and fun.

    I think it's amazing you could complete your project in three days. :D

    Congratulations!!
    I busted my ass! :lol::lol::lol:

    Anyway I still have 3 HUGE weed/trees that are each standing 20ft high, in to the electrical wires, along 2 fence lines. So the landscaping crew who shows up to do the lady next doors lawn is there to day working, and I ask him to give me a quote on taking down the 4 trees/weeds.

    The nice Spanish guy goes in back and as he is walking back I tell him to think it over and leave a quote in my mailbox.

    He leaves his number and a quote of $250.
    $250? For 4 trees??
    I wont be able to cut him a check quick enough! :P :P :P :P
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    A day of rest for me today.

    An hour or so of laying out in the sun.
    Then I am off to Axehead lake for some shore fishing.
    Tomorrow its Busse Woods with Kathy for some fishing, bike riding, and grilling steaks.

    God Damned did I need a vacation!

    i was really looking forward to a pic of you mowing down the gazebo... :|
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Perch fishing on lake Michigan.
    Yeah I know its just perch, but I fucking love it.
    The my nephew and I will hit some area lakes around the suburbs and fish for some bass.

    Yesterday morning I caught 20 or so perch, each 11-14 inches, about a lb. or so.
    Next week the jumbos should be in, 15-16 inches, 1.5-2lbs.

    Its fun.

    Very cool. You catch and release or do you keep some?
    I remember years ago fishing for Walleye on Lake Erie. Tons of fun! And those fuckers will put up a good fight! :lol: Your arms would be sore by the time you get 'em in the boat! Would have been a perfect weekend had it not been for the storms and the waves crashing over the side of the boat. Talk about :sick: ! :lol:

    Hell, I had perch for breakfast yesterday.
