Pier in Weekend

May 3rd through 5th, 2002

The lake is one thin inch ABOVE the nail. On Saturday, the wind was very strong from the south resulting in very high waves.  The calm on Sunday morning revealed underwater sand dunes created by Saturday's waves. The piers are in!  It took almost 5 hours to build and place them but it's done.  The 2+ hours in the water by Andy was chilling. The official thermometer was positioned in it's summer home in about 6 feet of water.<br><br><br> 45°F,  nobody chose to swim. The back pads of a boat lift taunt us with the odious task to come of putting in the lifts and boats.  The thought of this combined with the cold and other chores push Andy over the edge... Crime spree! While taking old mattresses from Wally's to the dump he cracks.  "I've always had a mean streak in me.  I'm a rebel, a loner.  Now that I'm a fugitive I live day to day.  Always one step ahead of the law.  It's a hard life but I'd have it no other way."<br><br><br>-Nemo: Pier installer, rebel.
