4th of July Week

July 2nd through 8th, 2013

Lake Lucerne
The month of July is that time of year where the ski show kicks it up a notch. There's two shows a week (Monday and Wednesday @ 6:30 PM) plus a bonus show on Sunday July 7th. Bam!!

The July 4th/5th bar night started innocently enough with a puppy visit.

It got more populated, louder, more fun and drinky-er as the late night passed into early morning.

Drinks became more and more distinct. Both in the ingredients and the use of traditional and nontraditional garnishes. It was noted that a potato chip does not a good garnish make. Later in the morning, using a series of bold moves, Ed W. won the surprisingly light "Planet's Cup" in a round of bar rail bowling. It was close, but the much coveted "Golden Tee" remained at the bar.

On a separate note, has anyone been following the Milwaukee Brewers lately?

Golf balls were chipped into the lake.

And said golf balls were collected.

So far, the amount of rain we got last week has not been spoken of. We didn't get much. Almost none. This week will be better. As this is being written a storm has dumped 2.5 inches on Lake Lucerne and more is predicted. When it's all over, the lake should be higher than 30 inches below the nail. Huzzah! The fish we've seen while diving for golf balls have been plentiful and active. There's more but the lake is warm, flat and calling, nay, shouting for skiers.
