Things I learned at the lake....

glennsteely · 06-11-2005, 10:56 AM

When I was about 12 or 13 years old, my dog and I got sprayed at the picnic area at Spindle Point. I just got the indirect spray (was bad enough) but my dog took it in the face. Tomato juice did nothing to rid either of us of the smell.
Lesson learned.....

Also, dont try to pull porqupine quills out of a dogs face, they are barbed and will cause serious pain and damage to your animals face, and the dog might cause damage to you if he bites!!
Lesson learned.....

Rocks in the lake that you cant see, will damage your boats outdrive and prop!!
Lesson learned.....

Corn grows in other states besides New Jersey, as well as strawberries, and some pretty darn good tomatos!!
Lesson learned.....

I have learned tons of things in New Hampshire, some I wished I hadnt, but none of which I would trade for anything in the world. Lessons learned at the lake are things I would never forget.....ever!

1.People are nicer up at the Lakes Region than people are in New york.

2. The water is blue and does not smell like sewage

3. Most cars let you cross at Weirs Beach while cars in NY make you play human dodgeball

4. No one beeps thier horns

5. You dont have to lock your cars when u go into stores unless its an empty area.

6. People driver slower than in NY where they try to run you off the road

7. The beautful Lake Winni makes you want to comeback for more

37 days and counting woooo hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!

1. Duck itch is real!

2. How to fix and outboard.

3. Water Skiing!

4. Horses have a mind of their own

5. I learned a bunch of stuff but I forgot. Such as launching about without a plug is not a good idea. Did the same thing later back home.

6. Don't eat an ice cream cone in the back of a dune buggy unless U want an ice cream shower.

7. Smallmouth are great fighters.

My Brother Mel and I retuned to our Folks house one evening over in Nashaway, NH. ... after shopping for cars, and encountered a skunk on the portch. .. Mel tryed to nudge it aside,.. and don't you know that that skunk opened up on me!... Well,... my Mom had a very special recipe that inclouded tomato, and I was only an outcast since two years!

Only kidding

Worked Awesome!
Love,
T.
