Back at it.

Beer Friday was good (I do like Blue Moon :) .. then went out to dinner and had another.. went home and watched the game.. wow State won.. and again on Sunday night.. so we are off to the Final 4!
On Saturday we decided to drive up to Mackinaw for the day.. long drive, but it was a nice trip. Still lots of ice on the Straits, but we saw a Laker passing as we went over the bridge.. got some pictures of if from St. Ignace. Also got some pictures of the Round Island Lighthouse from Mackinaw City, which is about 7 miles away.. was amazed I could see it... so needless to say I like the new camera. If I can figure out the Picasa thing I will add a few of my pictures here.
Back to work yesterday.. I get next Saturday off... so that will be 13 of 14 day on. It was nice to have the weekend off.. I still like the job, and the extra $ is making a big difference in the budget :) Called the Dentist yesterday and make an appt for my crown... I think I have even figured out how to pay for it.
Last night I finished The Nighte the Fitz Went Down by Capt. Dudley J Paquette... an terrible book on the Fitzgerald.. This guy was also on the lake that night.. except he went a different route and went on endlessly about his abilities to perdict weather.. the book was more about this guy than anything to do with the Fitz.. His assesment is that McSorley pushed the boat too hard and over years that caused stress and the boat broke apart.. he has weak circumstancial evience for this.. ugh.. the only interesting part of the book is when he was talking about his own career coming up and a few interesting stories about life on the lakes.
Need to go to the library today.. almost done with my next book.. Need a break from boats going down.. I think I have read enough about sinking boats and dying people for a while.
It is suppose to be 60+ today WOW! Maybe winter really is over?!
