I spent a long weekend up at the lake, my Marina owner let us use
his houseboat for the weekend, so I know I missed a lot of posts,
but why would someone's expensive repair bill cause a few giggles?

It helps him confirm his own good judgement in buying a smaller boat,
which for him was probably the right decision.

Well, for Harry it was the correct decision. I spent 60 hrs boating
this weekend, I am glad it was not a small boat.

That's a long time to be playing with a rubber ducky in a bathtub.


Since I do not enjoy fishing,


You haven't lived until you go with me.

A laugh a minute and adventure to boot if only because you never know
what's going to happen from one minute to the next. :)

I played around with my Nikon 200 and Tokina 12-24 mm and took some
long exposure photos when I was up at the lake. When I get a chance I
will post them on a web site. I really don't think any were top quality
photos, but it was interesting none the less, and I am really trying to
learn and improve. Since this is something concrete you can critique, I
would be interested in hearing your comments.


I would be glad to offer you space on my site if you need it.

How do you like that Tokina lens?
