Over a 4-day Memorial Day holiday weekend, we went to Cathedral of the Pines on Caribou Lake in Lutsen, MN. It is Mt Olivet's camp property on the Superior North Shore which they've owned since the late 1940s.

The annual opening weekend activities included gratuitous eating, deep cleaning the cabins, getting a dozen lawn mowers and whip wackers working, repairing broken screens and screen doors, replacing dead light bulbs and more. This place houses 200 campers per week all Summer long, so the chore list was very long but it was fun team work, and nice being outside of life's daily amenities for a few days.

Enjoyable activities included 2 visits to Grand Marais, a camp fire with s'mores, a softball game, trivial pursuit and a 500 pc candybar jigsaw puzzle.

Last Friday I enjoyed watching all my money vaporize as experts from Southside Electric brought the electrical capacity of our garage and yard to the 21st century. We tore out all the electrical in the garage, including the hazardous service lines, installed a new circuit, buried a new rigid conduit under our yard, added 4 new outlets, 2 lights in the garage, a double flood on the back corner of the house with a 3-way switch to the garage, and an outdoor GFI receptacle. Boy was this fun to watch.

All new switches inside the service entry


"Where did the steps go?"


"Oh, there they are in the yard. Good time to do some repair work on them!"


"WOW!"

Ah.. why not.

Seeing as though these have been sitting on my flash drive for ages and I never got around to putting them in the online gallery, I might as well take the easy way out and post them on picasa.
