Its time!
Vacation time!
Some friends have a family cabin on a lake somewhere in Michigan and we got invited to go along.
They're even driving.
Despite my best efforts I was unable to locate a bucket ANYWHERE IN THIS TOWN. Perhaps we'll be able to find one along the way. For those that don't know my relationship with the bucket...
BEHOLD!

The bucket will be mine. There are four different kind of boats/water craft we have access to and the bucket is coming along on them all [evil]
Let no thing or no one come between and ML and his bucket [beer]
So you're going to drink strawberry margarita *mixer* on a vacation to a family cabin on a lake, in Michigan.
WTF.
I'm hoping I misunderstood.
Sounds like a good time.
Have fun!

Sorry I wasn't clear...I'll pour a bottle of tequila in there first :D
My liver will be sore by the time I'm home Sunday.

You should have Mel mix it for you.
It will be better. ;)

I'm sure she's welcome to come along. I can't do lime anymore. I get tremendous heat burn from it for days and the pills don't take care of it.
Sounds like an awesome time. [beer]
You've earned it.
Thanks!
Cindy's job is to document your shenanigans so that we may all enjoy them.

Shared duty.
I brought the gopro.
:D
We're on our way in the party bus now.
Meet Penny, our chaperone-

It is a nice lake. I have about a dozen family members with homes around it. Been a long time since I've been there. Nice seeing the pics. Enjoy!

I forgot what day it is and we're about to start a card game called "drunk quest"
This morning I put the gopro on the dogs back. Results were pretty funny.
How are the buckets holding out?
One is about gone.
I hope the other makes it home so I can hit it up drive by style on my way past the fridge.
Almost as good as a vodka dispenser in the fridge door :D

You're on vacation...
you can always get another to put in the fridge. ;D
This cup is awesome. There's a vacuum between the inner and outer cup and stuff stays really cold for a long while.
Plus it has a straw.
A STRAW!

She's a pretty tolerant dog :)
She'd have to be. ;D ;D
We took her in the canoe yesterday.
She didn't seem to care even when we almost flipped the canoe [laugh]
Does she like to swim?
As far as I know she has not tried it.

Drunk quest surely was invented by college kids. We didn't get to out of hand but it could have easily gotten brutal.
Good potential dimby game ;D

OH boy... [laugh]

I played beer pong with my 20 something nephews about 10 years ago...
didn't go well. [laugh]
I can't imagine why [laugh]
It was fun...
while it lasted. :P
Beer pong never ends well...
I think that's the point.
Some pics from tonight. Spent time reading on the boat at the dock and giving or friend's dog, Penny, a place to lay her vacation weary head.

Now that I'm home is pretty clear I need to have access to a lake where I can float and drink my bucket. What an awesome place that was.
If I recall correctly there is more than one lake where you could live that would put you in proximity to C's work and shop.
True.
House first.
Then boat.
:D

the great thing about those buckets is they serve another, related purpose later on......... [puke]
i have leftover spaghetti stored in one of them, if that's what you mean.;)

One word.
Houseboat.
I did consider that but I need more trees around me than I'd get with a house boat.
And tractors don't float. I have to have me a tractor.

You're obviously not trying hard enough.
Point taken.

I want that.
Brits drive tractors on the wrong side of the river.
