Crappy luck there, Dave, but yes the cabin is looking spectacular!

Is that a wasp nest in the "oh crap" photo?

Bald Faced Hornets nest.

Just one of our unique critters out here. 

 

[akaShag]

get the RAID!!!!!!

[DanD]

Shotgun shell filled with a medium coarse grind of salt. A three in one fix; no damage to the wood, kills the bees instantly and removes the hive. Every year we had to do this, in and around the tobacco kilns; before harvest started.

Said nope to the crappy weather and went home early!!!
Was 32* F at the boat launch when I got there around 9:30 this morning.
Was gusting 40 MPH out of the North too.  ?
Managed to stuff the nose of the boat into the back of an over-sized wave on the way back to the dock to top things off.
The dog was unimpressed with being hosed by a wall of 54* F water. I wasn't thrilled either!!!  ?

So it rained from the time I got there on Friday until just about dinner time on Saturday so I spent the day making window trim and a few pieces for the area under the deck.

Was hoping to get to the top of the bottom window today but was too cold for that.

The boat runs great though after the work I had to do on it last weekend.  ?

Hey Dave,

I was on Georgian Bay yesterday and it is still 73. How warm did your lake get in July?

[akaShag]

I would rather have the 32F thanks very much, and a wave full of 54F water in my face today would have been MOST pleasant!!!!

Didn't break 70 this summer.

Pretty sure 68 was the warmest I saw.

[Cast-Away]

Warm enough to swim over 65 degrees but a bit of a shock for sure.

That's not bad but I suspect the temp drops real fast down 2, 5 10 feet?

Can't see the pictures. Links don't work. Don't appear to be links.

Is the problem at my end?

Made it up to the loft window this weekend.  ?

[grimsbylander]

Looks really good! Be careful man!! You're a wee bit remote there!!! 

[DRIFTER_016]

Was snowing pretty good on the ride up the lake to the cabin today. ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

[DRIFTER_016]

Nice evening on the boat ride out to the cabin.
Not!!!

Didn't get much done was too cold to do anything.
Had my 60,000 BTU propane heater on full most of Saturday and got the tiles for my hearth cut.
That's all. Came home early Sunday to try and warm up some.
