CRAPPY BLOGGING

Not much blogging going on here in the summer.It's just not the same.When I do this here it feels like a gossip column or a face book or something stupid.
Anyway-we did get the boat running but it has other problems now-not just fuel.No time also.
Breena has arrived
She will be staying until we take her home with us when we head east later in August.


The great day did arrive-The 15th-The big 65!
One more government cheque to spend.Free beer!!!!

The Friels,The Koshs and the Fishers arrived with theirs own beds and the party began.



Friday the old folks ate chicken and the kids fended for themselves.


Saturday a lot of us went golfing while the kids went tubing.
After we cooked up some ribs and everybody pitched in and a great meal was consumed.

We even had the new Ice cream Cakes from Timmy's.

Does it mean something when every one buys you scotch for your birthday?















As far as I know there was only one injury this weekend and that was Mel.


He was attacked by his own cat but I think the Cat payed the price.Mel will get to keep his arm.

July 1st Weekend


                       Chris rolled in on Thursday and the other kids and friends arrived Friday.


Chris,Jeff,Peg and I went for dinner and by the time we got back the rest were all set up and had the fire going.


We spent a little time with the kids but they had their friends visiting so there were different camps going.



A rare image of Wendy smiling for the lens.


Jeff and I spent a lot of time on the boat,although we did have extra help with the impeller installation



Others just went to play in the river.

Jeff and I finally headed for the river to see if we could get this new engine running.

NOT!

After all our efforts it was a no go.It would fire but not run.
I had put sta-bil in the tank but the gas that's in there is 3 years old.I just added $200.00 worth of premium gas to it and figured it would be ok.
Apparently not.
Looks like I have to drain the tank and start all over.
