    The Fishfly Hatch

    The fishflies have hatched here in Gibraltar Michigan. My boat is covered with them. The marina has turned off all the lights here to cut down on them but my being aboard with my interior lights on has drawn them to my boat. Looks like I will be washing my boat later today to get rid of them...

Humbug Marina and Mike one of the mechanics there said, "Bring your boat here and we will take care of your problem. Mike came highly recommended. In November...

    100+ Years Of Fatherhood

    Something definitely to think about here. In 1900, fathers prayed their children would learn English. Today, fathers pray their children will speak English. In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family's head, he was a success. Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And...

    My Next Vehicle

    My current lease on my 2016 Ford Escape is up in December 2018. Perhaps earlier if Ford decides to do a lease pull ahead. I just received an email about the new 2018 Ford Mustang. I really like what I see and will definitely consider leasing one after my Escape. Here is a link to the 2018...
