Indeed that’s true. I’ve lived in Michigan all my life and hadn’t heard of this lake. I spent my summers growing up at Higgins and Houghton.

As you can see above, I like a good laugh. Here is my Tudor looking down at the pool in my building. Can't wait to go swimming, amenities are closed due to quarantine

I haven't found a better method of social distancing than turkey hunting

It started last Monday wish we had the same regulations as Tennessee when it comes to the number of turkeys we can take, and hours. We can only take two toms (a week apart), and we have to stop hunting by 1300

Rolex and bowling.

As soon as this lockdown is over, I'll be selling this watch back to the friend I bought it from, when he was experiencing some financial difficulties.

The BLNR, the smoky grill, the beer, and the view made me smile.




And for the first time in a while, I nailed both that medium doneness and caramelized crust.
Great thread idea!

Beautiful Batgirl, and congrats on the steak!

It's miserable screwing up a steak, and it was nerve-racking cooking this A5 Wagyu, but it came out OK.




As for what make me happy now in these crazy times and others, these 3



And biking helps too

We can kill 4 bearded turkeys in the spring in TN. No more than 1 per day. Can hunt from 30 minutes before sunrise until sunset. The population here is very strong.

Wandering the resort:





Found the pool:



A swim-up bar is one of life's great pleasures imo:



Or perhaps you prefer a nice cold beer. Don't mind if I do:



The wife isn't too impressed with my shenanigans in the pool. She has opted to call the butler for some snacks:



Headed out to catch some tuna one day:



Night life? Sure, why not:



Edit: Wow, that image hosting site really compressed the heck out of my photos. They look so much better on my phone. What site do you all use to post pics?

Moved car out of garage and set up home gym before lockdown.

Plenty of other equipment behind camera. All Plyometric / boxing related....and got a cheap projector and screen onto garage door for some motivational stuff on YouTube (using an Amazon Fire stick and Bluetooth speaker).

It’s amazing how much you come to appreciate a good view when you are stuck at home. Looks like ours is similar. Cheers

Thanks.
It’s 1 of the 62 Navy SEAL Alarm Incursions. Sometimes I use the alarm function to either get out of bed, or remind me when to stop due to the cut off times in our state.

4 birds! That’s awesome It’s a limit of 2 here. 1 per week, and we are stoped at 1300 Heading out again Friday, so wish me luck.
