Paddling Donner Lake

I rented a place tp store my Sea Kayak from TDRPD at the West End of Donner Lake for the summer. Mine is the red boat on the bottom right of rack "A". My plan is to get some upper body exercise paddling the lake.

Baseball

Went to a local college game last night. Got there in time to view the 9th inning of the game which was won 9 to 4 by the local Hinds Community College, Raymond branch "Eagles".

Our B&B

Friday night's B&B. Note the bottle tree to right of door, a nice touch. Looks better in this picture than it really was. Our bikes are in the barn along with several generations of assorted possesions and the acumulated dust plus a pristine 29 Model A Ford Roadster that 25 years ago belonged to George Jones the country singer who had it impounded when he was arested on a drunk charge of some kind.
