Grant- is this it?

P-3 Guy · 10-26-2012, 11:05 PM

"I shall return."

March 11, 1942, upon leaving the Philippine Islands.

Grant, did you used to have a totem pole on your property? Maybe in the
60s?

Misty Blue.

"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away" I think was made at West Point after retiring (?).

We are in denial, closing is so hard when we are still having days like today and sunsets like this evening.

Looks like a great day at the lake. Thanks for sharing your photos.

Good luck taking out the dock. The water looks like it might be a bit cool.

The dock is the easy part and the water is low right now, going back up on Friday to take the last 2 sections out and officially close.

Here is our new web cam capturing the dock process, thanks to "brk" for helping out with the web cam.

You guys are killing me. I can not wait until Ice Out, again. Funny how such a concept/event takes on such significance. To toast to all winni admirers!

One needs to only pick up the leaves with their LT1046 Cub Cadet tractor with the 2 bagger system as the leaves fall until they are all down. Then they just have to load the trailer to the tractor and lug a few loads of firewood to the farmers porch, take care of all the snow removal equipment such as oil changes chains on both the small pieces of equipment and then sit back on the farmers porch in the sun and watch all the goings on with the Mergansers and geese. Now that is what you call not closing the camp, cottage and/or home. We can enjoy and see something new every time we look at the lake, mountains and the sky. The good lord is watching over all of us.

May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving as my wife and I intend to with our kids and grand kids.
