The Dock arrived on Saturday

The dock came on a trailer with three guys to assemble it.

After it was put together, they rolled the frame into the lake.

Then came the decking.

I'm picking up the boat on Wednesday.

New Boat

Last week I purchased a boat. This boat is a 1984 electric Duffy, that was rebuilt in 2002. I hope to get the boat into the lake before the 4th of July. This boat will go 6 mph for 6 hours before it needs a recharge. To recharge you just plug it in. More pictures to come.

Removing the old dock

Last summer I spend most of my time building walls. This summer we want to clean up the waterfront. We have a new dock coming in a week, so the old dock needs to be removed. I have started taking the dock apart. The board come off hard, and this is going to take a while.

I had put a cut-off blue barrel under the deck to use with my lawn watering system, but the barrel didn't work well so I left it under the deck. It looks like our pet muskrat has moved into the barrel and used it as a lunch room. The barrel is full of mussel shells.

Fishing

This weekend you could fish in Massachusetts without a fishing license. So when Aviva, Ryan. Ben, Kerrylee and Marie came to visit, we went fishing. We needed to get bait for the fishing party, but were didn't know where to get worms. We went to the lake front where there were a lot of fishermen fish, and ask them where to get bait. The answer (we should have known) was Walmart. Off to Walmart to get bait. We purchased 20 Canadian night crawlers, I don't know if the worms were imported from Canada, or that is their proper name. Everyone that tried to catch a fish caught a fish. (they were small fish).

Ryan is cutting the worms into smaller pieces to get them on a small hook.

Everyone but Linda in this picture, she is taking the picture.
