One of my other passions besides boating is coaching soccer. Been doing it for 20 years now. The camp I started was called " The Perfect Touch ". So I just abbreviated part of it

Couldn't pronounce the name of the lake as a little kid, and would ask if we were going "up the saukee". It just stuck over the years, and now I am really lucky, because I live here, so I am always UpTheSaukee! (hence the signature)

In (I believe) 1978 we decided to come up for the week between Christmas & New Years. It was silly to open our place so we made a reservation in Piping Rock.

As bizarre as this sounds, there was a guy who had committed a murder somewhere in the area. The guys name was Luniac.

On the radio station, which I think was probably WLNH, they kept reporting "sightings" of Luniac here and there. It was crazy.

Hence, LOONIAC...

Acres per Second?

It's from the common usage of the term...

Just the name of our place on the Lake. But most get it wrong thinking it is PineNeedles.

I happened to be the first to register from the lake that sends it's water (after we use it! ) into Winni.

Not to mention, it describes well many of the nice friends I've met via this forum

"Duck" is one of my knicknames, "Silver" is my hair color. (Well, maybe white is closer to the truth, but silver sounds better!)
