Good Morning! What a gorgeous day for patio coffee! It’s clear, sunny and 70 degrees here in Metro Detroit. Thanks for stopping by! I’ve missed you all.
I’m happy to have my laptop back, though I was without it only a few days. We went camping 4th of July weekend and in my attempt so show my family some GoPro footage, I dropped it and cracked the screen. (crying) Luckily, BestBuy referred me to a local pc repair shop and though it wasn’t necessarily a cheap repair, it’s back like new and I had it returned quickly.
Here is the video I was sharing when the disaster occurred – I had been kayaking that day and was playing around with holding my GoPro underwater. Turn up your sound, it’s pretty neat!
So!
If we were having coffee, I’d have to think back through the last several weeks I’ve been delinquent (again). We had three glorious full days of camping at Bishop Lake in Brighton with family and extended family. It was hot and muggy, but since we are glamping, we had our AC to retreat to.
My neighbor had a tree taken out and gifted us some wood. The shape of this log made for a great camping Easy Bake Oven!
I got lots of kayaking in, and got to play around with my new portable depth and fish finder. I don’t fish, but I thought it would be neat to be able to see the water depth and fish activity when I’m out and about. The deepest part of Bishop Lake is 50 feet, according to this device!
I went out again yesterday to our local lake and continued my trash fishing quest. It’s really not that big of a lake to have this much crap! Grrr.. Look for a post this fall titled Forgive Us Our Trash Baskets.
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you we are still waiting for a date to have our windows installed, though we received the permit in the mail yesterday. I can’t wait to have this done!
If we were having coffee, I’d be happy to say we got all our work done yesterday and today we will spend this beautiful summer day on a road trip. We plan to ride the coast of the thumb and hopefully all the way to Port Austin.

Such a cool video! I have an underwater camera with a video function that I love to use too–I got some great shots of sea turtles last year!

How awesome!! I was so hoping a turtle would swim by..
How fun! Camping and kayaking, that sure sounds like summer to me 🙂 I enjoyed your video. Glad you got your laptop fixed. Thank you for the coffee! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
It’s been a great season so far!
It is a cool video and a good idea.

Thank you! I had fun experimenting..
Neato video. I too am appauled about the garbage people leave behind. I can fil a full size garbage bag with trash in none 1/2 mile beach walk. What is wrong with people!?
It’s infuriating, for sure.. Thanks for helping!
Excellent job trash fishing. What a great idea. Glad you enjoyed your time in nature. I too would require a bug free AC environment clause by!
Thanks! Yes, it was a nice retreat..
Oh, your weather is good. Ours is similar.
I can appreciate how happy you are to have your laptop back. I went several months with a Mac rather than a PC because I thought I liked it better. Well I didn’t. That essentially meant I only used my phone. Actually the story about why I had a Mac is more complicated, but I won’t bore you with those details. Anyway, I’ve now had a PC for five days and am sooo happy!
I will check out your video soon. I am blind, but since you say to turn up the sound, I’m wondering.
