You're such a tease

I know the words to "I've been working on the Railroad" but it looks like we have new lyrics in the making.

"Drill baby drill; Grind man grind! Verlen up Verlen down. Verlen traveling all around." I think Mike Smith missed his calling!

Word is, Verlen is rock ready or ready to rock... I say he is rock steady!! Now for the drum solo / roll!! 17 days and counting!!

Bush Whackers take it to Lake Michigan

The only real cure for Bush Whacker withdrawal, is a another paddling trip! Team Bush Whacker takes a coastal cruise up the big pond.
.
Most of the participants that did the 150 have reunited for the Mich-whacker cruise! The question is; are they towing the cruiser/cooler "The Betty Ford". It ain't a real cruise with out "BF"!

Sod Busters!!

Whew!! The motto of the day "Was green side up"... Now who on earth was... You know, the grass is greener on the other side.
