Tomorrow is the day...we are OUT OF HERE!  Nice neighborhood but it's time to go....  Today we did accomplish one ongoing task and a few do it while you cans.

After three days of trying Gary finally beat the grill into submission....(this may prove to him that you don't have to be injured to have done it right)

Lots of penetrating oil and torch heat over three days ....the torture worked with the help of hammer chisel and pliers....the rusted in burner finally caved

Such angst from such a tiny part.  Rest assured the new is in and the next time this happens...
"I Matey.. " it'll be a watery grave!!"

I had another day of spider detail....water+ Michigan= spiders.....and tightening screws that have been loosened by our daily rock and rolls...

We  are confident that tomorrow we will be able to get to Benton Harbor and the next day Calumet and into the River System.

Lake Michigan we loved your shores, hated your winds, but will miss you!  Can't believe I said that but it is true....we love the water and here lots of water is what you get...Kind of like the old saying "I love you, but I don't always like you".......
