It's the Size of the Waves
--------------------

Yesterday, we went into Munising to do our getting-stuff-for-kids-lunches shopping and stopped on the way home for Dairy Queen Blizzard treats.  

I don't know about the DQ in your town, but up here they turn the Blizzards upside down when they serve them, presumably to remind us that these shakes are extremely thick.  I begged the young lady serving us not to turn mine upside down because it makes me crazy, but she did it anyway.  Aaaarrrrgggghhh!  She couldn't help it of course, I'm sure the people who trained her made sure she never forgot this part of the presentation.

When we go to McDonald's, some members of our family (I won't reveal any names) like their Big Mac without cheese and without special sauce.  Another member of our family likes Filet of Fish without tartar sauce.  I can't tell you how many times we have had to return a sandwich because the people preparing them just can't keep themselves from putting a slice of cheese and the special sauce on the Big Mac, and tartar sauce on the Filet of Fish!

Mistakes like that don't really bother me very much because I know just how much stress the food preparation people endure in their quest for prompt speedy service.

Amy was fired-up today and she is really itching to get the new projects underway.  She made MANY phone calls today:

bullet

Cabin 4 and the pumphouse will be getting new roofs in the next week or two.  

bullet

We are getting a larger dumpster because the one we have is simply too small during peak season.  

bullet

More Lake Superior sand for the beach and gravel for the new location of the dumpster.

bullet

We're moving the propane tank from it's current location to a spot behind the rec center where it will be better protected and less of an eyesore.

bullet

We are putting in a 20 x 20 basketball court just to the west of the small shed on the north side of the property.

bullet

We contacted the electrician who will be wiring the yurt.

bullet

We firmed-up the new dock order.  We'll be picking up the new dock in a couple of weeks.

I decided the Fishing web page was simply too large for a single download, so I split it into logical pages.  There is now a major Fishing page containing the map of the lake, references to Dana's Fishing Hall of Fame and separate links to each of the predominate species of fish to be found in Lake Au Train: Walleye, Northern Pike and Yellow Perch.  There are now color pictures of the fish along with fishing tips and specific information about each species.
