I’m joking about that. Actually, I think that people were just asking for a good Bottle Washer. And there are plenty of those here besides me but I was still flattered.

I had one heckuva time sleeping last night. I could not make my brain turn off. I even tried watching Bad TV in the form of “Say Yes to the Dress”. It didn’t work. Did I sleep at all last night? I think so but I’m not sure. I know I did not get any REM sleep because I didn’t have any [goddamn] REM dreams. Good or bad? I dunno. Nevertheless and in spite of much trepidation (i.e., will I fall asleep on the I75 SUV Speedway?), I set off in the Ninja this morning and drove to Houghton Lake. Guess what? I did not fall asleep and go off the road. I was not even tired enough to need any coffee. I don’t know why but it was a smooth trip and I am crossing fingers that the trip home will be similar.

When I got here, I snagged a cup of coffee and went down to sit by the water and none other than the Lord of Linden was at that moment piloting The Pontoon Boat from winter storage to home. Its maiden voyage for the summer.

The next job was to install the boat hoist for the pontoon boat and this required all hands on deck.

Actually I think that we should hire some unemployed linebackers for this particular job in the future. It was scary. But we did get the pontoon boat out on the lake…

Somebody said something about going to a nude beach (at Houghton Lake? Say what?) and somebody else said, “Poor Jimmy”. In other words, we knew our brother Jim C would want to be up here with us this weekend. The GG was driving this time…

The Lord of Linden suggested we might go to the nude beach but we only made it as far as the tiki bar…

We spent most of the afternoon in the pontoon boat. We got one drink at the tiki bar and then we took the boat over to the grokkery store. In all, we were in the boat for several hours and it was all fun but when we got back to the Group Home, I was feeling like I walked about 10 miles today…

Good night. I think I will sleep tonight.
