Yes, we are all still here. The forecast for this weekend calls for very nice weather. The wild rice is very slow to ripen. Perhaps the nice weather will hurry things along. Photo is of Ryan and Eliza with walleye for supper. The walleye are at 20 feet. The two motors are for moving…

The first boat was done a couple of days ago. No more climbing over the seats at Nechigona. We finished the last boat yesterday.

Rice harvesting is in full swing. Only a little short of 2,000 pounds for the first picking. The second and third pickings should be much more.

We used the portable winch to portage the boats from Nechigona to Goose. They will get the Loon Haunt modification.

Ryan is back and we are changing some posts that rotted after 40 years.

The rice crop is looking good and the machine is almost ready to go. We should be picking in the next 4 or 5 days. The little Volkswagen engine started on the second flip.

Refinishing the tables according to Louise. “The tables are 40 years old so I am not going for perfect but the cards will slide.”

Today, we took a trip down south bay to check on the rice. It looks like a chance for a good crop. We will see what the weather does for the next 3-4 weeks. We might get to pick before the end of August.

Louise and Bill have been busy.  Louise is refinishing doors and tables and Bill has built new floor boards for the airplane.
