The summer, so far, has been really busy with work and getting things around the house taken care of. I have also taken on a number of lifestyle changes to get myself healthier; that has taken up a significant amount of my time. The good news is I have been able to fit in a decent amount of ATV riding and a single canoe trip so far. There is still plenty of summer left so I do not feel too bad about the lack of activities so far. We already have some camping scheduled for August so I am getting pumped about that.
More good news is I purchased a new camera. The Kodak is still a nice camera, and will be used for specialized shots, but I found a Samsung that takes extremely good photos and is not nearly as bulky as the Kodak. Something I have been looking for in a camera for quite some time. I have a number of ATV and canoe pictures that I will upload to my Picasa page and link to here. Nothing extraordinary but it will be something for a few people to look at.
We recently attended a Gin Blossoms concert down in Mears at the Val Du Lakes resort. I was extremely impressed with the venue...and of course was very stoked to see Gin Blossoms. The opening band was a group called Push. Nice guys...we got to hang out with them for a portion of the evening on the VIP deck. (Which I would recommend if you go to Val Du Lakes...) Then Tonic was up...rocked as always...and then Gin Blossoms. A very cool night for us. I took a lot of pictures...though we did not get to meet on this trip. (If you recall we met them when they were at Boyne Mountain.)
That just about covers it for recent content...I will be sure to start adding a bit more here and there as we get into some of our summer activities. I promise!
Goodnight from Northern Michigan,
Derek
