    The resort was full and we threw a surprise 40th birthday party for my brother. The party included a hog roast and float-plane rides. He was told not to expect the same for 41....

    Here's some from the hog roasting-

    A few from the air, including a shot of the resort and a couple local fires.

    And, to top it off, my cousin's son caught a 20" Smallie :tu:

    my weekend was good also. i cooked a brisket, had family over. then my son and i camped and scouted for the upcoming season. the time spent just with him was very satisfying. getting everything ready and laughing and just talking with him are memories that we both will always have.

    It's probably still on its way Muzzy. Ely to Alabama probably takes awhile :poke:

    Looks like a great time! All I got to do was spend a half day with my granddaughter watching The Lorax, playing rip off Grandpa's moustaches and lips, and having dinner with her (and my wife and son and daughter in law). Wait a minute, I think I had the better weekend! :)

    Most do. There are a couple little potholes that might only have minnows.
