Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather. We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing. I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride.

I set off east to ride toward Rapid River. I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures.

Dunes on the edge of Gladstone.

This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision.

The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name. I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us. Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up. I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock.

I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this.

This is a Gobi. An invasive species of the Great Lakes.

After a few minutes I started back to the house. On the way I started to have some chest pain. After showering it had not let up. I called Michelle and they started back to the house.

Michelle then took me to the Emergency Room in Escanaba. All the tests came back ok. The doctor did not believe it was cardiac related and felt that further tests were not warranted. He also stated that I was at low risk for a heart attack. He did recommend to follow up with my doctor at home for further evaluation. He also said that I should not over do it until I see my doctor.

The rest of the day I rested and Jay Jay and Kayla arrived shortly after we got back from the hospital. We had dinner, a movie and called it a night.

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day. Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up. I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up. We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm. Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest. We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle. A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area. Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace. We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In. However, after arriving the place was packed. So we went to B.C. Pizza again. After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

Mother's Day Part II

On Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day at Church followed by a buffet at the Whistle Stop in Clio. It was a very good meal and fun for all. The Bauer's The Garcia's The Cody's minus Tyler Then we celebrated at our house with Michelle's family in the evening with another big feast. Help Yourselves! A good time was had by all and one of the best Mother's Day celebrations yet. Happy Mother's Day, we love you all!

Happy Labor Day!

So we had another busy week leading up to Labor Day Weekend. On Wednesday we had Brendan's open house for 4th Grade. We did some shopping after and I sold my Giant OCR. Giant OCR Composite 3 I bought this bike in 2005. I put some good miles on it over the years. For about 6 years it had been in the basement on the trainer. I had rebuilt it this summer and took it out a couple of times. It just seemed to big now. I guess I am a little older and less flexible. I decided to put it up for sale as it just did not fit any longer. I found a nice young man that was looking for a road bike and he really liked it. It is going to a good home and will be out on the road where it belongs. The funds from this sale went toward the purchase of a front wheel to go on the Farley and will fit the Bluto. That wheel should be in some time this week. On Saturday morning we did not have Brendan. He stayed at mom's with ...
