MAKING METIGOSHE MEMORIES

After work today, I'm off to Lake Metigoshe until Tuesday afternoon. There will be blog silence from the filter. I plan on doing some fishing, liquor consuming, tree cutting, fire building, hot dog roasting, grilling, writing and swimming. I wonder if I'll be able to handle it all. Hopefully it doesn't rain the whole time I'm there.

This reminds me of a funny lake story. James T. Boyd came up to the lake with me once. We canoed around the lake and stopped at an island for a bathroom break and James takes off leaving me stranded. A short while later he comes back all dressed up and wants to go the classy Turtle Mountain lodge. I'm grubby and don't want to go. We end up going and I end up spilling hot coffee all over my lap. Classy. When we leave the lake we stop off in Bottinue for some breakfast and a quick visit to Pamida because James had never been in one before. We ate our breakfast and hung out at the park climbing Tommy the Turtle and swinging; killing time until noon when Pamida opens on Sundays. James got in one of those little yellow merry-go-rounds and wanted me to spin him around. I did and when he wanted to get out I let him. I hate those little yellow merry-go-rounds and James asked me to get in it. Knowing James, I said no, you'll spin me around when I'm trying to get out. Which is exactly what he did! I puked up all my breakfast in a circle surrounding the merry-go-round. I was sick all the way home and James had to drive. Memories!
