After two years away, I’m finally back at the Mag. Joined Dianne, Cy and “T” at around 3:30 yesterday afternoon after a fairly pleasant drive from Lima, OH, in which I’d spent Saturday night.
The drive from Atlanta to Ohio was uneventful – once I actually managed to get out of Atlanta. Seems like the west-side traffic gets worse down there every day. It took me close to an hour to make it from Duluth to Kennesaw. After that, it was smooth all the way to Lima, and I arrived there at around 7:30 Saturday night. Woke up early and hit the road by 7 :00 in order to get to Magnetawan before dinner.
After said dinner (dirty bird (a.k.a. bastard bbq)), the four of us played Oh Hell until 10:30. CY was the big winner, followed closely by “T”. I, as usual, got my ass kicked. Never have been good at cards.
We got a couple of brief showers on the lake last night – enough to hatch some mosquitoes – but the sun is out today, and it’s absolutely beautiful weather. When I woke up this morning (at 5:30 – ugh), it was about 68 degrees in my cabin. I’d estimate that it’s currently in the low 70’s, and there’s a perfect western breeze coming in off of the lake as I sit on the porch this morning.
No plans for today at the moment. I’m sure that napping will be involved, and maybe some tennis. There is also a decent chance that I’ll go into town, as I need both Vodka and a mosquito/deerfly net for my hat. I took a walk this morning, and the flies were terrible.
