IN MINNESOTA THERE'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT MEANING TO "BOAT PEOPLE!"
SUNDAY! Hello sports fans! Here's one word - "BOATING IN MINNESOTA!" Okay, that's five words (sorta) but you get the point. We're still here in Glenwood, Minnesota staying with our good friends, Jean & Larry, and on Sundays in Minnesota (if you're not in some weird religious sect) you go boating. There's a reason it's the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" - even though we've only counted about 9,782.
So here's the deal. Jean & Larry live on a lake (Lake Winne-Minne-Sinna-Wonka-Tonka-Bonka something) but their boat is 500 miles away on some other lake in some other state. But in Minnesota that's not a problem because nobody locks anything so we just walked down to the marina, picked out a speedboat we liked and fired it up with keys we found in the glovebox (NOT KIDDING!). It had half a tank of gas, a couple of out of date bags of Cheetos in the storage box and trust us - that's enough for a fine day on the lake.
Okay, so "on the lake" is really just an expression. That's just how you get from one bar to another - and there's plenty of bars! Now don't get us wrong, we're pretty choosy when it comes to bars - we only stopped at ones that serve beer. That eliminated one - but we technically could have stopped there too since we still had some Budweisers left from the last bar. We don't normally recommend drinking and driving, but come on - it's not our boat (or Jean & Larry's) so it doesn't really count, right? Tomorrow's Monday somewhere - but here in Glenwood, Minnesota it'll just be another day on the lake...

It's not our boat, but like we care! Larry was shocked (that we had half a tank of gas!)

Jean & Stacy are happy because another bar is within sight! When the cops come - we're prepared!

I'm so glad you got to be the "Speak No Evil" monkey, Kevin. You've had much practice with that pose.

You're lucky you did not not get caught stealing that boat. We hear that you're in a dangerous area. You could be wearing cement shoes at the bottom of the lake you silly bastards! Be careful, have fun, and remember this, we cannot help but love you both.
guy and cary.
