At this point I’ve lost count of how many consecutive days of rain we’ve had. My best guess is at least 18. Here it is the first official few days of summer and I’m sitting in front of a roaring fire trying to burn some of the humidity out of the air. Just to stay sane, as “cabin fever” has defnitely set in, I started looking through older pictures from the days when the sun would shine (just so I could see what it was like). The picture below is a typical sunset here at the camp. This, of course, assumes there is still a sun to set!!!

Time for a Fresh Start

If you’ve read this blog before, you know that one or two of my neighbors are (in my opinion) a little bit nuts protective when it comes to their property and property lines. In fact, one of them is even suing me (and a few others for allegedly trespassing on his land). As a result, he has alienated just about everyone in our neighborhood. So, when I woke up this morning (after a particularly rainy and stormy night) and saw the image below (the capsized boat belongs to the guy who is suing me) I was struck by the irony of the fact that even though I’m the better man and would like to help, I can’t for fear I’d be trespassing.

It’s been raining for what seems like forever at this point. Even the good bourbon isn’t taking the edge off the “cabin fever”. Combine the rain with the ever present threat of an asshole for a neighbor and life can get interesting here in the lovely land of the lakes in Central Maine. Check out the video below to see just what the rain can do when it comes down in apocalyptic proportions.

As I sit in sunny Florida enjoying the warmer weather I often think about our camp and how the weather is treating her while we’re away for the long, cold winter. Then, I receive pictures like the one below and realize, who cares? I’m not coming back until the snow has melted and guys like this are long gone!!!!
