weekend - Van Halen and friends holding fish

Friends gathering is a good thing and gather we did this weekend. The festivities started Friday evening for the Van Halen show at Pine Knob. David Lee was a bit behind on the vocals but the rest of the band was sounding quite well; some great B sides. 
Not to be outdone, this pack of forty-somethings were up at the crack of dawn Saturday for some fishing on St. Clair. We didn't slay them but the old saying of "the worst day fishing is better than the best day of work" applies here.
