    Spent this beautiful weekend with the family at our new cottage on Lake Ontario. Just wanted to share a few pics.

    I have a feeling that I won't be getting as much done around the house this summer as I was planning... :cheers:

    First things first - started work on the 3 year plan for the cottage. About a sixth of a cord so far. :D

    The previous owners left this sweet grill here - 8 burners :bug: and two 20lbs tanks to run the thing. My folks asked me if I thought it was worth fixing up... :binoculars: One side of it wasn't working, and they were thinking about ordering some new burners, but it just turned out to be a bad tank regulator.

    Bandit got wasted... :D:rofl: :lol:

    Flock of geese decided to pay a visit to the neighbors.

    Black locust was in full bloom here this weekend. There's 4 of them in the yard and it smelled heavenly with the offshore breeze we had.

    The cottage has a great view of 30 mile point lighthouse.

    Well there was a lot of campfire discussion on that topic... We'd really like to. I guess it's been for sale a couple years now. I was kinda saving my pennies in case the 30 acres of woods next door to me ever ends up for sale.

    Blow up raft... :( :D

    My folks have a sailboat but they're thinking about trading in for motor boat. They've got a canoe and rowboat too that are still in the barn.
