Hoist bay.
Back at the lake for another summer.
Everything looks to be in good order. I'll do a more thorough inspection tomorrow.
The carport tarp did not survive the winter.
The swing under the porch is another casualty. This is destine for the burn pile.
The old tarp is gone. It lasted 8 years so no complaints. The question now is: do we really need this carport at all?
What a sad end for this swing. I enjoyed building it back in 2011 but it never did get much use.
I hope the Roomba is hungry for Asian beetle carcases.
This is unexpected for the middle of May.
First hummingbird (that I was able to photograph).
Biennial maintenance on outboard motor: change oil and oil filter, replace spark plugs, replace oil in lower unit and grease zerk fittings.
This is a big item off my to-do list. Next is the boat.
Motor on the boat and the boat is in the water. Thanks to Rich Halverson for some much needed help with the motor.
A little late this year but the ducks are finally in the water. I'm down to just two.
A new set of bumpers and cleats in anticipation of a second boat.
First fishing trip with Burney. It's not a BIG bass but it is a bass. Let the games begin.
My first bass of the season.
Rob, Terri and Riley arrive with the new boat.
The porch pine is looking pretty sad.
I doubt the hummingbirds care. I think they just want a spot close to the feeder to wait for their turn.
The new boat has been launched and is ready to catch some fish.
Preparing the deck for staining. I just did this two years ago. I wish now I had used some Trex-like boards instead of wood.
Rob & Terri got a bunch new perennials for around the cabin.
Phase 1 of deck staining done. Still to do is 3' there on the south side and every other stair.
Finally, some flowers in the barrel.
I think I'm done with the deck now.The boards have been stained, the rotted section of railing has been replaced and the horizontal railings have been painted.
