Sparky-(Admin) 19,284 #6 Posted July 29, 2015 Gotta be relaxing there. Very relaxing! No agenda to follow.....just hanging out, sleeping late and a few beers at night! Both my kids are here with their boyfriend/girlfriend and they have their own wheels so I'm not driving anyone anywhere.Mike...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,565 #8 Posted July 29, 2015 I was going to ask, What part of Maine? My dad was from Madawaska and we would go up there every year. My Uncle had a camp on Long Lake.Sparky, you need some Playtex Living Gloves. You can fish,do dishes and pick up a dime with them. I think they are insulated so you can use them for work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #11 Posted July 30, 2015 Now that is my kinda vacation! Now, who's doing all the cookin? Good restaurants nearby? Next summer I hope to rent a cottage on Lake George, I'll take one of my boats... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,284 #12 Posted July 31, 2015 Now that is my kinda vacation! Now, who's doing all the cookin? Good restaurants nearby? Next summer I hope to rent a cottage on Lake George, I'll take one of my boats... This town has a population of under 1000 people and there is not one single restaurant in town...not even a gas/convenience store. But the next town over has pretty much everything you could need. We only ate out once. Cooked all the rest of our meals here....did a half dozen lobster last nite YUM! I'm useless in the cookin department, so my wife, my daughter and her boyfriend have done most of it......I do most all the dishes.Mike.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,284 #14 Posted July 31, 2015 You definitely picked a week for the nice weather Mike...you guys get any serious thunder boomers roll through there, past couple days? Oh yes we did! Lost power last night for about 4 hours as a massive rain and wind storm came thru last nite. Luckily the boat has an automatic bilge pump or else I would be calling a salvage company to retrieve it off the bottom!Mike..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
