The most memorable thing from this year's trip may have been the proliferation of blackflies and mosquitoes. Holy mackerel! They were something fierce! The long, wet spring contributed to their late presence and if you ever wanted to experience how bad it could get, that was the time. Otherwise, this year's trip was pretty much a generic duplicate of other years. The weather was pretty good, as we never had to put on a raincoat, and the fishing was also pretty good, as we caught enough for our Tilapia/Walleye fish dinner.
Upgrades to the camp generator have been noted and an updated instruction procedure will be available soon. I didn't take advantage of the not-so-hot hot tub this year. We caught enough pike for our wontons, and we were able to have fish sandwiches for lunch. All dinners were completed except for the pork chops which became lunch the next day. The Internet connection seems to be the highest priority nowadays, so if we ever get a 5G connection, we may be able to stream video eventually.
12 hot dogs and 6 hot dog buns. That was a bummer. Ran out of Bailey's. That was a bummer. No cole slaw. Ran out of 'Memories of Thailand'. I think we need to double quantities for next year. Better to have too much.
Good to see Eddy and Toby again. Eddy was able to show us his skills when doing some bodywork on Ron's van. Toby was still looking for hot dogs in the camp fire when we last checked. We have established that the best music ever written came from the 70's. Ok, now that "Sounds of the 70's" is over, George and I have a request: Can we get a couple of songs that are less than 10 years old? Funny how the dinosaurs of the group are the real music aficionados. Until next year... |
