Vol XVI – #176 – Rain Possible South of M72

At sunrise the southern sky looked very threatening, this being supported by TV weather persons calling for rain south of the Big City by the Bay.  Our visit to Van’s Beach showed clearing to the Northwest.  I really don’t know if it ever rained south of M72. The crowds have disappeared from town and of course Fishtown too. This will… Read more »

Vol XVI – #175 – Day After Day… Nice

This time of the year, it’s generally the best time of the year… here anyway.  Cooler nights and just right daily highs make for the perfect combination.  Another plus is that you can find a parking place in town. We are saddened to announce the passing of Dave Sprout. Below on the Biscuit Report is the crew from Deering Tree… Read more »

Vol XVI – #172 – Boats and Cars On a Beautiful Day

Earlier this week the forecast for today wasn’t too good…  rain!  Well it didn’t happen that way.  The sky opened up with billowing white clouds and on a background of blue and it was a great day to enjoy some beautiful old cars and boats.     

Vol XVI – #171 – Trees Surgeons at Work

Watching these guys take these dead Ash trees down just wears you out.  We have been a captive audience since 9:00 this morning.  This is hard work.   Not only do they remove the dead they keep the good ones alive.  Deering has been treating two beautiful Ash Trees, male and female, for many years in our front yard.  They are about… Read more »

Vol XVI – #138 – On the Way Back From Stocking Drive

Another beautiful morning, another beautiful day.  We decided to Jeep it to Glen Arbor and then on for a scenic trip through Stocking Drive and drive we did as there were no parking places anywhere.  Stopped to picture take on the way back home.  Little Glen Lake below.

Vol XVI – #137 – And the Winner Is….

  The morning began with the threat of rain and it did very lightly, enough to wash the dust off the car.  Better than nothing.  Some blue tried to move in around noon, but it quickly clouded over again. I was chosen to pick the winning ticket for the Fishtown Preservation Raffle.  Winning tickets went to Northport, Leland and out… Read more »

Vol XVI – #136 – Buy Some Raffle Tickets

Dark skies, but no rain, great day to buy raffle tickets. Not a great day for the car below as it was rear ended and pushed under UPS Tom’s truck.  The car that struck it went on, air bag employed and sideswiped 3 parked cars. The driver sent off to Munson in an ambulance.  I arrived after the fact and only know… Read more »

Vol XVI – #135 – The Day Began Perfect

  And then the sky turned gray because rain is on it’s way.  At least we hope it’s on it’s way.  Unfortunately there is a meteor shower tonight.  The Leland sidewalk sale in progress.  Busy times.   

Vol XVI – #134 – Wine a Bit… You’ll Feel Better

Another one of those day after day days.  We passed the time away this morning as we always do, on Van’s Beach.  There were times in the past that we referred to the beach as Hall’s Beach or Taylor’s Beach. This afternoon, Biscuit and I made a visit to Chateau Fontaine, one of our favorite stops.
