    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.

    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:

    I keep em. Or I give em away.
    By the end of next week I should have enough perch in my freezer for 20 meals.
    Hell, I had perch for breakfast yesterday.
