Hearing issues
I have it also, for years, as did my mother. It bothered her, not so much me. The less I think about it the less I notice it. I'm 73.

Dogs
They are wonderful companions. They become such important members of the family. Have no idea why their lifespans are so short. It almost seems like a sin , there is no devotion like a dogs.

Exploring google earth today, I noticed a large compound on welch island. This place has more dock space than some marinas. Is that someone's private residence? Just curious?

Tubing?
Wow, hearty souls. We used to water ski with wet suits up until October. Used to get a feeling of owning the lake. Some early mornings the water was just as smooth as glass. Good old memories for me.

Kind of interesting to me
Growing up on the lake in the fifties and early sixties I never saw a M.P. boat! Was on the water every day, weather permitting, all summer long. How different today.
