My fourth was chill and nice. Visited family up in the quaint northern tip of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Saw my maternal Granparents, A cousin with a trio of NYU cronies, my aunt and uncle, and my parents.

I ate good eats, saw some decent card tricks, drank some killer vino, and had some great Male Bonding with the gents of the family in this amazing old contraption:

and this sweet engine.
a STRAIGHT 8 ...Talk about power. Talk about class. Talk about Fuel Consumption. Detroit Iron at it's best.

I'll put more images up at my leisure. I'm all about leisure this summer, and fishing is totally leisureific. I caught my first catfish today, and he weighed in at a whopping 2.2 lbs!! Put up a good fight though, and even kept my hook! Poor bastard. He'll grow up to be big and mean and pissy.

Today was MissKaboom's birthday, so she recieved an all-expenses-paid river cruise on the one and only Bullet. The engine was temperamental as usual, but after some adjusting and fiddling, I got it back up and ROARING, making it back to the dock just after sunset. No lights, can't be out after dark.


Now I must face my work week. Back to the ole grind. Cheers,
