Well, we are getting ready for the end of the year fandango...

Gonna put the big smoker grill and another large grill on the work barge. We park it on the sandbar. I do six racks of ribs on the smoker. A buddy does sliders and dogs. Yet another does fresh sweetcorn in a big pot on a turkey frier base.

we usually have between 70 and a hundred...

certainly good times are had by all.

prayers for good weather on Glen Lake, Mi. For sunday are welcomed...

Hope y'all have a fine labor day weekend as well.

Thoughts and prayers to all y'all in the path of the storm...if you are not happy with your boat park it in the path and pay up the insurance. If you love your boat I hope it makes it.

Back in the 80,s we use to go down to Traverse City and one of my favorite motorcycle routes was that neck of the woods to HarborSprings .

So, final total was 101 sliders, 50 brats, 5 dozen ears of corn broke in 1/2, and 5 racks of ribs (3 baby back, 2 st. louis). I nailed the ribs...best ever! I now have to retire from cooking them because I'll never get that lucky again...I set the bar too high.

Just finished supper. Spent 7 1/2 hours doing an oil change and fuel filters in one boat. 13 gallons of oil, 13 oil/ fuel filters, and cleanup. Then lifted the new tier three motor with the crane into the Nichivo car ferry for the cruise service.
Tomorrow back to running the 150 ton travelift, where I can relax.....

20191008_211235-2268x3024.jpggot some fridge art from my dear friends daughter. They come up a few times each summer and enjoy the boat. They are the kind of friends that their kids call us aunt kim and uncle rob...touched my heart each time she sends a letter the old fashioned way.
