Fishing, Quoting Fargo, Reminiscing and Laughing At Wilderness Bay

"So I'm tending bar down there at Eckland's last Tuesday and this little guy's drinking and he says where can a guy find some action? I'm going crazy out there at the lake, and I says what kind of action? He says women action. What kind of guy do I look like? And I says, what kinda guy do I look like?  I don't arrange that kind of thing, and he says, but I'm going crazy out there at the lake, and I says, yeah, but this ain't that kinda place. He says, oh, so I get it! You think I'm some kind of jerk for askin, only he don't use the word jerk. Then he calls me a jerk and says the last guy that thought he was a jerk is dead now! So I don't say nothin. He says, what do you think about that? Well, so then, that don't sound like too good a deal for him then. Yeah, he says, that guy's dead and I don't mean of old age, and then he says he's going crazy out there at the lake. Anyway, he's drinkin at the bar and I don't think a whole great deal of it. Then Mrs. Mora, she heard about the homicides down there and thought I should call it in. So I called it in. End of story."

Fargo


"Wade, it's my deal Wade.' We don't watch TV anymore. We quote Fargo and W. C. Fields.. In the early morning you can catch deer walking past the cabin. You can catch small fish almost anytime off the piers. Adam caught a nice size northern off the pier one day this trip.

Perch and Detroit hat.

Another shiny golden walleye and a happy Tom.

Motoring and putting the troubling thoughts of work out of our minds. I wonder what Moni is doing.

That's the trolling motor that we broke and had to get fixed at Three Lakes, Wisconsin.

Familiar shoreline that hasn't changed in forty years. No erosion ever seems to wear away the shore.

I had trouble keeping up my hand-me-down rain pants. 

Adam wanted this picture.

Pork ribs that fell off the bones cooked in a crock pot in Adam's homemade barbecue sauce; twice baked potatoes; and fresh green beans. We were going down the road to Michigan when Malinda told us we left the twice baked potatoes behind. We asked Adam to stop by and pick them up on his way to meet us in the cabin. Adam said, "What the ......" He voiced those same words when we asked him to stop and get us some Subway sandwiches.
