Everyone have a great Holiday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It is in the 60ties today in Michigan. Hard to believe, when it is November 22nd., the Monday before Thanksgiving Day. This like black squirrel was peeking in my window to say hi.

I just wanted to say hello to everyone out there, and those of you in the States, Happy Thanksgiving!

Don't forget, get out and vote today!

Not Your Father's Election!

It is time to step out of voting along strict party lines. Time to vote for the best person to
bring this country back to prosperity. To get beyond great speech makers, and those who want to give us the old sports mantra of next season, next year, but not today or tomorrow. Vote for people who will get the job done. Look beyond the blue and red, beyond being a Democrat, Republican or TEA Party member. We need to vote for the person who will do the best for our state and our country.

Please get out and vote on November 2, 2010

American Heros - Fire Prevention Week #2

Our local fire department held their Open House on Saturday. As we waited for our tour
of the new building, two of the trucks were called out on a run.

We cuaght them in action just as they were leaving.

FIre Prevention Week

The fire department in the town south of us had an open house today for the beginning of Fire Prevention Week. I like going to their small downtown area, it gives me a good excuse to have lunch at the Shamrock Pub. Not that I really need one, I do try to eat more than burgers and fries.

Above is a simulation of taking a car apart to get the passenger out.

September Boat Trips!

I had the chance to do an autumn lighthouse tour on Lake Michigan and the next day Lake Huron. Sounded good when we booked the tour in early summer. Unfortunately the weather turned cold and windy. Our trip on Lake Michigan was canceled. On Thursday the weather improved and the boat left Mackinaw City heading first to Mackinac Island and then out to Lake Huron. It was fun while the boat was going slow around Round Island Light, pictured above. When the boat got going out in Lake Huron it was bitter cold.

I have never used the hood on my jacket before, I had to pull it up over my hat and tied it on to keep the wind out of my ears. All and all, the trip was great. Our last day in Mackinaw City was my birthday, we got a chance to see the old fort and go out to an old mill. We celebrated later at an Irish Pub.
