The BEAR
 

Hard to believe the Bear is ~60 years old. Anybody else remember the two wooden lobster boats that preceded her, the Camp and the Bear? "Change Day" was quite a bustle in Glendale. Dot's Restaurant had waiting lines.

Remember them????
 

Remember them???? I rode them going to Camp Lawrence for 5 years!!!!!

This might just be the view I have on my commute into work on the day I give my notice![emoji6]

you'd think that someone who's been on the lake as long as I have would know better... This morning I had to commute to work, so I allowed myself plenty of time to take a leisurely ride in. I got to the Glendale docks about 6:45 ( plenty early ) and as I was getting off the boat, I heard a sound that no boater ever wants to hear...ker-plunk. My key ring fell out of my pocket and into the lake. Got my boat hook out and tried for 15 minutes to grab onto them ( in maybe 4 feet of water ) with no luck. Not wanting to be late for work, I stripped down to my boxer shorts, to the amusement of the folks launching their boats, jumped in the lake and grabbed them off the bottom. Moral of the story...if your wife gets you a float for your key ring, put it on! Dumbass....

OH NO! But looks on the bright side, it wasn't in the middle of the lake but only in 4 ft. of water.

Too Funny!
 

How did I miss that!! That is classic YouTube material right there!! I’ll have to ask George and Paul for a copy of the security camera footage!! LOL!!:D:D:D

20 years ago, I would been horrified and figured out another way....now, blah...who cares! :-)

Smooth move Captain Steve! 😂

some things they don't teach you in boating school and you just have to figure them out for yourself! ;-)

Similar thing happened to my sister years ago but at the dock for the Corinthian Yacht Club in Wolfeboro. Way, way deeper that 4ft. She looked at me like I was going to dive for them. Uhhh, Nope! Luckily it was when Ford gave you an emergency plastic credit card thingie with a punch out key when you bought your car and she had it in her wallet. She made it home to CT and had to make a whole bunch of keys. Best part was I never got wet!

When I read jet-plunk I was thinking the outboard fell off.

I meant ker-plunk.

So did you go commando the rest of the day? And how was the water?

That would have been so much worse!

Naturally! [emoji6]The water wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I can assure you that this morning, those keys were held in a death grip! :-)

Who uses keys?
 

My house has a keypad. My car has a key pad. Boat keys never leave the boat. I don't carry keys--It's kind of like writing checks... a thing of the past.

if all my vehicles or office didn't have keys I'd be all set!

What car doesn't use some sort of a key or fob? Most of ours are fobs, but they must be present to enter and run the vehicle.

Fords all have keypads. You can leave the fob in the car. Yes, somebody could smash the window. I think smashing the window is to steal visible contents. Of course, in some cars, smashing the window will activate the alarm, or deactivate the ignition or some such. It won't be long before your iPhone facial recognition, or fingerprint technology, will move to your car.

I KNEW there was something I forgot to put on...thanks for the warning!

Congrats!
 

Congrats Steve!

Now you need to get that retirement going so you can spend more time with them!!

Dan

that event may happen sooner than you think!

Congratulations, I sure this goes with out saying, enjoy every momment with them, and I hope that babies and Mom, are healthy and able to get to the island soon.....

Congrats Grandpa. You do know that your retirement is going to be great…but not quiet. Lots of fun and active years ahead of you.

Believe me, I know.... if I ever get lethargic, I'm sure the cattle prod will always be kept at a high rate of charge! :)

Congrats???
 

You serious?? If so good for you!! A well deserved retirement!!

I'm working on mine as well!! ;);)

Dan

I am always serious! Well, not really, but about this I am. My company decided that the shortened summer schedule they've been promising me for 2 years was no longer an option. I'll still be working up here, but doing things that aren't stress filled and don't suck the life out of me!

It must not have happened yet.

I though I saw you headed out to the island in the rain about 6:45 last night. I figured you were returning from work.
