Hey Mom! I was in your hood yesterday.
The drought is over!
Beautiful piece. Loving it
Looks good.
I can't shoot HP's, neither can my brother. They make us bleed. No matter how I hold it the web of my thumb gets trigger bit at least once every time.

I'm in the U.P. of Michigan and not over impressed. Been gone from home for about a week.
Our plan was/is to ride our motorcycles around Lake Superior. We rode up the coastline of Lake Michigan. Crossed the 'Mighty Mac' (Mackinac Bridge) and rode up to the southern coast of Superior before turning west along its southern shore.
Currently we are roughly half way between Duluth, Minn and the Mackinac Bridge in Houghton, MI. We were supposed to camp about 50 miles from here but we were tired (I was probably crabby) and hungry and decided to stop early and, after a half dozen attempts, found a crappy hotel that charged us $225 for a night. All the campground and hotels are filled, so I guess we were lucky to get the room?
Honestly this part of Michigan is not a wonderful place. The majesty of nature is ever awesome but the people have destroyed it. Its basically poor and mostly run down. If you are not a hunter or fisherman or snowmobiler its really not worth the effort of coming here. The riding is not as good as central Indiana, while we are mostly on 2 lane roads the speed limits are 55 to 65 and the roads are fairly straight. So we are whizzing by anything that might be worth seeing and not seeing it. We've pass by a few spots we'd have liked to see but we were going fast enough that pulling into a gravel drive at 55mph seemed pretty foolhardy just to see a fiberglass dinosaur or a set of stairs to nowhere. We are mostly disappointed so far. We had a nice ride through the Pictured Rocks park, but that was just a small part of today's mostly boring ride.
Campgrounds are crowded, people packed in like sardines. Hotels are mostly run down dumps or over priced chains. Yes there are exceptions.
People are super friendly. That is a bonus. Nice to see and meet genuinely friendly people. Maybe we should be grateful for that?
Back in the late 70's had to go from Gary,IN to Houghton,MI to pick up some some parts from a wrecked company vehicle after a couple of guys fell asleep and went off the road. Had to take the stuff up to the U P to Cedarville,MI in a service truck not built for a long road trip. What I remember the most was Houghton,MI was 110 miles south of the bridge and way to long to be in that uncomfortable truck.I'm in the U.P. of Michigan and not over impressed.
