Tyler Seguin

So the giant bear at the Granite Steak and Grill in Rochester, NH and I were talking tonight. I told him that I read on twitter that the Boston Bruins had traded Tyler Seguin. I couldn’t believe it, and neither could the bear. What an idiot move!

4th of July

Two years ago we spent the 4th of July at Lake Winnepisaukee. Last year we spent it on Long Lake in Maine. This year, back to Lake Winnepisaukee. We didn’t have a specific beach in mind, but we discovered Carry Beach in Wolfeboro.

We got there before noon and it was wonderfully quiet with only a few people. The water was cool but not too cold, and it was crystal clear. There was even shade on the beach.

As the afternoon wore on it filled up quite a bit, but it never got obnoxious. I would definitely go back there again. I can assume that it will never be as crazy as that other beach. The one in Laconia.

After our beach visit we took the long way home and drove all the way around the lake. Once we got home we watched Monty Python’s The Holy Grail. My step son has declared it the best movie ever. I generally agree.

Carry’s Beach

We stumbled across Carry’s Beach in Wolfeboro, NH. It was very quiet when we got here, but it’s getting busy now. I foresee us coming back here again in the future.

They Killed It

The bastard squirrels ate through the top of the bird feeder. It’s dead.

I will avenge thee, sweet bird feeder!

A Bad Dinner Experience

The love of my life and I went to dinner at Bertucci’s tonight. It was a bad experience. The food was fine, and so was the service, and obviously the company was brilliant and wonderful and beautiful.

So what was bad?

The waiter. He was taller than I am.

I just didn’t trust that dude. I feel out of sorts whenever I’m not the tallest guy in the room. It’s just so wrong.

Truck Trash

I was heading South on 93 when some asshole in a pick up truck with a bed full of trash reached whatever speed was necessary for the garbage to start flying out onto the road.

I picked up this bag and it stayed stuck to my window all the way to the toll booth where 495 meets the Mass Pike.

Monopoly

My Timing Sucks

Birdfeederily speaking, my timing sucks. I have mathematically calculated that the chances of seeing the cardinal at the bird feeder increases exponentially to the distance my Nikon is from me. In other words, when the Nikon is nowhere near me, the damn bird lands on the feeder. The jerk.

He landed today while I was reading on my iPad, with my D90 far, far away. This is the best I could get.

By the time I had my camera in hand, this is what I saw.

Note how a big chunk of the bottom of the bird feeder has been eaten away.

I was left with nothing to photograph except for the terribly ugly, horrifyingly terrifying spider that lives in the window. Safe to say that Mr spider will be dead soon. Very dead.
