Well, you lame fucks suck.

I finally got my cherry popped today. Today was the first time I've been on lake st. Clair.

I got some beads too.
We found them in the water, but I figured it counted. My girls were whining the whole time. So that was no fun. But nothing is that fun with little kids. Everyone tells me, some day. I'm waiting.

Made it to Manila with all of our luggage. I think it's Monday morning.

Please help a confused old man:
1. You got beads
2. The girls were whining
Are you referring to your children or your bewbs?

It’s Lac St Clair

Hope it was fun. Did you get to the moot? Stop at Bumpers? What did you do?

I had to ask the hubby, because I don't know names to places. But yes, we went to the moot.
We didn't do dinner anywhere, as the little ones were cranky enough as it was.

So this summer, I have had 2 cherry's popped: first time on lake st clair, and I tried fishing for the first time.

Now, I'd be happy to join in on these activities with my swill buddies. But no one has invited me

Be careful at the moot, and all of St. Clair. Lake is murky, bottom undulates and difficult to judge water depth anywhere. Best not to dive off a boat and jump feet first.

I did know that at least. But I've never been able to dive, nor do I have interest in a lake.
Back when I worked in MRI, many summer weekends, and every 4th/memorial/labor day, I saw many come in with broken necks from diving in that lake. It was really sad, as I saw some young "kids" become paralyzed.

One of my best friends broke his neck and died at the moot about 10 years ago.

St, Clair can whip up fast in bad weather. Couple brothers that worked at our place both drown years back. One fell of the boat and the other went in to help.

Lake St. Clair has some of the cleanest water/sandy bottom there is. But yes, it is shallow/don't dive.

Edit: Heavy winds, yacht chop, silt coming down St. Clair River and dirty the water.

Muscamoot and all the bays areas are very shallow. Average depth of Moot is probably <3', max 6' in the dead center/high water year.

Water should not be fucked with/taken lightly. Especially the Great Lakes (which I consider St. Clair part of the chain). It can get nasty quick and if you are inexperienced, you could be in a world of hurt.

Fitz and Huggie Bear seem like they could use a buddy right now. They should be official tSwill buddies.

Hey Avgmsujoe,

Prime Day starts in less than 6 hours. I hope you find some great deals buddy!

think they'll have any flip phones on sale?

I found something I want for sale last week for $400 down from 650 and I was like oh I should buy that thing later but then I forgot until midnight and it was no longer on sale :( so now I just have to watch it forever until it goes on sale again :(

Trapper, I'm here for 2 weeks. I'm hoping my phone turns back on. I put it under water for about 5 seconds. It is a Galaxy Ultra, but there are a few cracks. It powered down while I was responding to an email. Then it started to power up and shut off. I'm hoping in a few hours it will power up. It at least now tells me there is moisture in the charging port. I always joked around that I was going to throw my phone in a lake the first day on vacation and now I might have.

Thank you for writing that. I hear the same thing, but I too am waiting. Those around me make me feel like sometimes I have the problem.

Two Weeks! That sounds great.

Hope your phone dries out and you don't use it anyway.

Wanna go for a boat ride?

I'm in ! Come and get me.

Wishing the best of luck. We haven't been so lucky with the littlest bit of water in our phones. But many today are made to be briefly waterproof. I don't want to test it out though.

Do not ever touch the water at the moot. Probably more urine than water.

Don’t eat any fish from LSC. Strictly catch and release.

The phone turned on while I was golfing! Then it shut down again at some point. It's working now though.
I was able to get a round in. Weather is a lot like Miami, including a thunderstorm that delayed things for about 30 min. Next pictures should be more tourist type things.

Kind of looks like 18 on Augusta.

Wrongo

You mofo’s can’t get anything right about St. Clair. Enormous amounts of water flow in from the St. Clair River (from Lake Huron) and exits the Detroit River (to Lake Erie). Muscamoot is flanked by the South and Middle Channels, which dump into it. The entire lake turnovers roughly every 7 days (or something like that, I can’t remember the exact figure). Muscamoot is flushed out even quicker since the SCR has numerous cuts that dump into it. Other areas longer depending on the proximity to the SCR, current flow and wind direction. So Dendro’s pee is probably halfway to Sandusky by now (or at least near Belle Isle).

As far as eating fish, go for it. There is a shitload of walleye and perch fisherman that catch and eat from Lake St. Clair, St. Clair River, Detroit River, etc. Like any lake, you should limit your consumption, but they are perfectly safe in reasonable quantities. St. Clair/Erie have been cleaned up immensely over the years and are two of the best fisheries on the planet (not hyperbole). This is ain’t the 70s Dwags.

Absolutely correct a lot of water flows through LSC. Mostly follows the shipping channel. Not that deep. Do they still dredge it?

Rarely. I’ve fished out there for 25+ years and rarely seen a dredger. Sometimes in one of the cuts (Doty Hwy, Sni, boat launches, etc.). Only major shipping channel dredging I recall is at the mouth of the Cutoff by the Firecracker (large shipping channel marker). I think they were building a Firecracker 2, but scrapped it. If you can find it on your sonar, fish on.

I still don’t know shit about Lake St. Clair.

That's ok, buddy. You know so much about so many other things and bless us with your wisdom each and every day. We are lucky to have you here, GreenWay.

Well, now I'm in Coron, Philippines. Never landed on a one runway airport where they need to do a uturn at the end to go park.

I've been on those in Panama and Belize.
But the airport in Belize was like a bus stop. It was the size of a garage, and the runway had people hanging out waiting on their plane. It went as quick as a bus stop too.
It was also strange seeing kids playing soccer at the end of the runway.

Possible dendritic formations. Suggest considering not keeping it in a pocket in the unlikely event that it catches on fire.
