Gave the truck and boat a bath today, and all hooked up and ready to go tomorrow morning for some big Georgian Bay smallies. Not that the fish will care about them being clean, but it’s been a while since I’ve given either a good scrubbing ?. 

The view to the east this morning on “the bay”, and at the same time to the west. 

Momma hiding her two fawns, you can't really see the other one as it was laying down in the marsh.   

The loon family I’ve become acquainted with over the last 5 years. They haven’t had chicks in a few years now. Good for them.

I’m guessing they’re either in their golden years or they realized kids were too expensive and said no more.

Probably. The water is too cold excuse doesn’t work during the summer months for Mr. Loon.

If he could reach the pedals, I know he'd try.

They grow em tough down here

I heard about that one

spending 4 hours stoking the sidebox smoker today. 

Here's the first 3 hours. 

Rubbed pork loins, uncooked Polish wedding sausage (jalapenos and cheese) and Boar's Head casting franks

 

After 2-1/2 hours (185), the hot dog strings are done

 

Stoke the fire to 240 to roast glazed chicken breasts, a half-hour on each side

 

Another half hour to go on the chicken, and I'll cool it down for the last hour on the pork and sausage. 

ok, the chicken looks too good - it got another photo

ps - not eating all this, and it freezes for a lot of good meals - splitting it with my folks, who live up the road. 

I'll get 2 caesar salads from the smallest chicken breast,

8 meals of pulled-pork tacos (carnitas en adobada) from two loins.  The sausage sliced thin is great on crackers.  Kraut dogs from my string.  My folks get the rest. 

Big ole thunderhead approaching. Pic doesn’t do it justice.
