Gas prices on the Lake

upthesaukee · 09-01-2005, 04:53 PM

It was about 5:20 PM, and I have a 7 PM meeting to attend this evening. I had thoughts about going out in the boat for a short run, but didn't want to waste the gas on just me going for a ride, not at these gas prices. My wife was still at work, and then is heading to Walmart to get some curtains (should I have reminded her that this is back to school season at Walmart???????Naaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

).

So I was left to my own devices for supper, and decided to have a picnic lunch and sit on the upper deck at Irwin Gardens, or whatever they call it these days. You know, the site for the Weirs Cam. The site for the Weirs Cam in motion.

Yeah, I saved a bunch of money on gas, ate my sandwiches, drank my pepsi, and enjoyed the view of Weirs Bay with a few jetskis running around, looked like Doris heading out, and a few other boats. Nice weather too..79 degrees under partly cloudy skies and light winds. Couldn't have had a much nicer picnic out in the boat....well maybe as nice...alright, it isn't the same as actually being out there, but it was up there.

Well, I think I may clean up for the meeting, so I'll head out of here...Oh, by the way, Thanks Don Z. for having a great picnic site when we are away from the lake, or just not able to get out on the lake. Cheers.

, this one's for you (fill in your favorite brew). (oops a little poetry slipped in there.
