A Brief Record Of Shenanigans and Stupidity...

I know I promised more frequent updates which will happen however, I just got back from the Upper peninsula of Michigan where I was staying on Drummond Island for a few days just relaxing drinking too much and not showering.
When I was there Dan and I were fortunate enough find the night sky clear and beautiful every night. Due to the lack of city light we were able to see a great many things with Dan’s telescope, looking at the moon through it was truly amazing especially when I found that the majestic 5.2 was able to take photos through the telescopes lens, not the best quality I will admit but the fact that we spent a good hour trying to take a photo worthy of even looking at is a testament to our greatness!
There was one point at night when we heard a low growl for a few minutes, which freaked us out because there are supposedly 100 bears on that Island! I personally was more worried that it was a crazy Canadian! Being that close to Canada is worrying enough!! After this we promptly took action by drinking more beer to avoid a sober death at the hands of a grizzle bear! Luckily nothing came of this but just to be safe we drank more.


This photo didn't work out because the flash went off but I kind of like the effect it created what do you think?


While there I decided we should go fishing, the locals said the best fishing was next to some dock near us however, I was of the mind that the water was too shallow to catch anything worth my time and besides I told the lady in the fishing shop that I wanted a lure for catching Pike she was snotty and said “ there’s nothing that big in this lake so good luck with that,” I was of course thinking this is lake Huron ridiculous local. Why is it that anywhere you go in the countryside the locals always think they know best when in fact people from the city know best this is why when I was catching Pike while they were crammed around a dock catching nothing!! So Dan and I proceeded to the mouth of lake Huron were I though fish would be plentiful given the deep water and prime location. Sure enough after only a couple casts I caught a Pike. The proof is in the photos! I caught two approximately 20 inch pike, I did release the biggest one back in to the wild however the next one I got was a fraction smaller and the hook had unfortunately fatally wounded him so I thought it only right to eat him and he was delicious!
I was right and the locals were WRONG! Us city folk always know best silly buffoons muahaha ha ha… after proving we were right we though it best to keep every camp fire raging all night long to contribute to the pollution on the island!
That concluded our amazing adventure so enjoy the photos…


The Pike above was the bigger one he was pissed and bite a hole in the net!! Below the smaller one

the shot of the moon (first photo), you get an A minus. the shot of the moon (second photo), you get a Natalie thumbs up (which is better than A minus). for some reason, i felt like i was out there with you on that lake, on that ferry ride, under that beautiful night sky with a good view of the milky way passed in a bed of chex mix and chips. what topped it off was the text i received from you out of nowhere that said:

send me your address babe
