Reed City August 2010

  My fellow scientist's and myself headed up to Reed City to conduct experiments at the Yoplait Factory.........Here is a photo of my team....Please burn after viewing.... TOP SECRET

Saugatuck Trip

We finally made it to Saugatuck for the first time this year. I gassed up the old corvette and we met our friends at the Coral Gables for dinner. I can't believe what rocking town this is in the summer. There seemed to be less boats overall but more of the larger boats then in the past. Maybe the economy is taking its toll on the middle class boaters. Anyway, it don't concern me I'm a car guy..........

New Picture.......

Those of you who follow the Roller, will notice that I posted a new Banner Photo. It's a 1968 Firebird 400, I had the same car from March 1970 till around November 1972. I blew the engine coming back late at night from Michigan State. I actually kept the car in my carport at my apartment on Palmetto till the spring, when I sold it to Steve Perry (No not the lead singer in Journey). I always wonder what happened to her.

Rothbury Double J

We made our annual golf pilgrimage up north on the 19th. This year we played at the Thorobred Golf course at Double J Resort in Rothbury. To say this course was challenging was putting it mildly. I finished the day with 96..... 48 on the front 48 on the back. I guess I can't complain. The food was great as well, I need to get that Burrito recipe..........And we may be heading up there again on the 16th of August this time at Colonial

Landscape Phase Two..............

Well, The rain finally stopped but the heat didn't so I was able to order three yards of topsoil to divert the rainwater away from the house and out to the yard. The seed has been planted so now I'll just sit back and relax for awhile, before I order the remaining stone. Oh, by the way, That Heat I mentioned earlier. For the two days that I moved the dirt from the driveway to the back yard I lost a total of eight pounds. This turned out to be a great way to jump start my new diet. Give it a try or wait for my new book.

Landscape Phase One

As I wait for the next Thunderstorm to pass, I thought I would post these pictures of the new landscaping using stone instead of mulch. With the drain pipes buried in the front a lot of the run off no longer heads to the backyard. But I did notice that the yard in back seems to have settled. So I've decided to bring in some dirt and build it back up around the house. I have buried drains in the back for additional runoff. The problem is I haven't been able to order the dirt because it rains every other day. At this point all I can order is a load of mud. Well eventually I'll get r done.

MJ's New Digs............

MJ recently began working at the FireRock Grille. This is the new clubhouse restaurant at the former Crystal Springs Country Club. The private course was sold and is now named Stonewater Country Club. The course is still private but the new FireRock Grille is Semi Private. The great thing about this is it's only a mile from our house and with her employment there, She gets weekly golf privleges as well as 50% off her meals. We already have played once with Rob & Travis and it was absolutly FREE. This is a better deal than when we were actually members there. Also its tied in with Watermark & Sunnybrook Country Clubs ......So if we get bored we can go golf and eat there as well. Anybody wanna go golfin.........
