The Trailer - Week Twenty Two - October 3-5

October 6, 2008 @ 12:01

It has started. The preparations for closing the tin palace got underway this weekend with taking my boat out of the water.

I don't use my boat a lot. I didn't even use one full tank of gas this season. It used to be, when my kids were young and adventurous, we'd go through a tank of gas in an afternoon while tubing or skiing or just cruising around the lake.

Now it sits there week after week until I make a point of going out onto the lake, just to say I did.

And I'm happy to report I went through another summer without any creatures taking up residence in my boat. You might remember a couple of years ago a mink took a liking to my boat and created quite the mess.

He'd crack crawfish at one end, and then shit the other. Sickening.

We had a nice fire and gathering at our place on Saturday night, immediately following a nice dinner of strip loin steaks and spicy beef ribs that we purchased a cool butcher shop in Lakefield.
It's called Flanagan's, and believe me, Flanagan has it nailed. Good quality meats and fish.

On Friday night we hung out in Peterborough. I have my new pad in downtown Peterborough and my wife got to check it out for the first time. Delyse approves. It's right downtown in the café district, extremely cool and very comfortable.

As I've mentioned many times before, Peterborough is blessed with a plethora of great restaurants so we've decided to visit every one at least once over the winter.

Friday night it was 38 Degrees on Water Street. Excellent. Try the Bombay Chicken.

Thanksgiving weekend is the final weekend of the season. We have our big Thanksgiving dinner at the Lodge and then everything that has to, comes down.

Good luck with the new diggs.

Here's a little mission for you.

Find out who makes the best pizza, burgers, sandwiches, wings etc in Peterborough and post it for us.

When ever I visit a new area I try to find the best local grub
