Many of you may know that our boy Bearded Jay owns–among several businesses–a vehicle repair shop. Specifically, his company buys wrecked autos from the insurance auction and fixes them for re-sale. Usually that involves some complicated stuff involving a title, and sometimes the title situation can screw things up. Which is how Jay came to own his quite excellent 1993 RV: according to the State of Georgia, the RV is presently fit only for parts. However, Jay has fixed it up 100%; he just can’t re-sell it unless he swaps out the entire front end cab of the mobile home. Fortunately he’s also 100% allowed to drive it for personal use on his dealer tags, meaning basically we have a Fish Wagon.
Here we are cruising down the highway headed for some mountains, while Jay coordinates a repossession of a dead beat who failed to pay for the car he bought. It was quite exciting.

I was mostly in charge of the food on this occasion, although it turns out our compadre Jacob Keene’s wife is a bona fide professional chef, so I think I got hosed on that call.
Anyway I did my best.
Homemade pizza.
Fresh-baked cookies (I kinda effed these up and the bottoms on several were burnt.)
I was a little stronger on the breakfast spread, however.
Like my napkin?Where we went the wind chill was -1 that night, but Jacob somehow managed a little outdoor fire cooking:
Meanwhile we had a little scare on the rest of our food while we waited for the unused-in-15-years oven to decide it wanted to light up after all. It finally came on.
Gretchen oversaw the festivities.
This was shortly before Jacob decided to enter a dinosaur-calling-contest. It was his birthday and his day off from his new infant so he gets a pass.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK6YFdcVfwA
Here I was fighting my almost uncontrollable urge to manufacture and market a few kilos of meth.
Unfortunately we did not get the rain we needed to pull the fish up into the section of water we were fishing. So we wound up failing, but at least we did it in style.
Pretty water anyway.
Sections of which were fun for Gretchen to stand on…
Jacob got a chance to contemplate his 90s cover band’s name.
Gretchen’s all, ‘Seriously, all this for no fish?’
Jay was either cold or getting ready to prank some rednecks.Overall it was a great trip.

That’s funny Zach – you guys are looking seriously suspect with the beards, van and that dudes hat.
