But not where we went...

We just got back from a couple days at 8000 feet elevation at Silver Lake (Pioneer, CA Only about 2 hours away). It rained some of the time (Nice change), but we were able to rent a small motor boat and tour the lake. The kids loved it. About 70 degress average. The last day, it dropped to around 60 (On the lake). Fishing is never great at this place unless you have a boat. I decided to not let the kidies fish from the boat for safety reasons at their age. Soon though... But we did have some time to throw in some lines from the shore just for the kids. They lost interest quickly, which was ok. I promised them though that they would have a photo of themselves and a fish for sure... :D. I was a great time:

If the girl gets a Barbie pole, then the boy gets a "Batman" for sure.

We only caught one fish!

Thanks for looking guys.

Now back to the Shop to figure out my new lathe setup and Dust Collector ducting...:)

Cheers,

Sounds like you had a nice trip.
Nice boat and fish!
I am not sure you have been there but I would recommend Lake Alpine on the 4 next to Bear Valley, very nice lake too.

Isn't it wonderful that even ugly guys can have beautiful kids and such a pretty wife?
James, I smiled the whole time looking at those pictures. What a happy family!

I resemble that remark! [:D]

Thanks to all. We had a great time! Now I spent the whole day sweating in my shop trying to get my new lathe in place and all of the Dust Collector ducting in.

Hot? Let's try adding some humidity to the mix. It was 101 degrees with high humidity.
This is no exaggeration ..... one of the wipers on my pickup melted to the windshield. Seriously!
Oh, where am I? Macon, Georgia.

What a great trip - and cool pics. Looks a lot like Diamond Lake in Oregon...........

Enjoy that family while you are all young and your kids are still little - they grow up so darn fast. Before you know it they're 15 and 17 and you don't see them around too much anymore - but you spend a lot more for gas.

How's that work anyway????????[xx(]

Best,
Roger Garrett
