Lovely photo Cass. If I was 10 years younger I'd be on the flight with Scrumpy  :clap:

My boring party piece. Do I put the washing out yet ?

Thank you ladies,

Just back from that fishing trip on the Lake, wonderful experience. We went up at about 4 knots essentially overnight and breakfasted in 'Sleeping Bear' early Saturday morning. Then as the Tug set off to Sth Manitou island, we booked in at a delightful Hotel, hired a car and spent the day tripping around all the local beauty spots and then had a delightful dinner with Annie's friends from Glen Abor. Sunday was spent on Glen Lake by ourselves, the two dogs and again Annies friends who have a beautiful wooden historic day launch, converted from steam. The beauty of these parts was awe inspiring, or as they say here every third sentence 'awesome'. Glen Lake is not small at just under 25 sq km, and is a haven for all sorts of fabulous wild life. Monday we got a 'water taxi' out to the Tug and had a day's fishing and watching the 'Divers'. Then Tuesday after breakfast back down Lake Michigan. Boy did I sleep when we got back, Albert too!

We're going to drive up next month, pulling Annies vintage 'Airstream' trailer and have a week at least around Lake Glen. The trailer which was her dad's is over eighty years old and she had it completely restored 5 years ago by the company that built it originally. It's a thing of beauty in itself, now with air-con and we've booked a site in advance by the lakeside. Think we're using her 'Jeep' as she's driving. Having over 50 years of experience with the same trailer, I'm very happy to take the tertiary role in things. Everywhere we went I was treated so well by our 'cousins' and have accepted an invitation to speak at a local dinner for their version of the Retired Law Society, which seems to be very eccentric in it's sociality! Wish me luck ...

I do. I've got something in the fridge that will go over the date if I don't eat it.

I've got a feeling that I used to know a number of options but they seem to slip my mind.

Sods law, I bet it was a mm too far between the tread & the sidewall.

It was close to the sidewall but I doubt it had damaged it. I think the law was tightened up a while back.  I was checking tyre pressures and saw it. A different tyre was down a couple of pounds and the one with the screw  hadn't leaked much at all. I'm wondering now about the one that was down a little. I'll just keep an eye on it.
