Air Hog
Today Ron's brother and family will be heading home after lunch.
But, after breakfast Mark got to play with the Air Hog.
He was able to get many of the basic moves up, down and return, before the battery charge wore out.
We put it back on the charger so he could play with it again. In the meantime he packed up his belongings and get them loaded into the car.
By then it was charged and there was still time for him to play with it.
This time after going through a few of the things he had worked on earlier he was working on trying to get it to spin around him.
He didn't quite get it there completely before it needed to be recharged, but at least we know what we will be getting him for Christmas this year.

Lawn Mower Race
Yesterday, we had Ron's two sisters and his brother with their spouses over for a barbecue. We had an enjoyable time and caught up on what the families have been doing during the Covid-19 lockdown.
His sisters and their husbands had to return home and left, just as it was getting dark. His brother and family were staying over until Monday.
Today was an overcast, with a few scattered showers and they wanted to go boating regardless, so Ron took them out on Chemong Lake which is just a short distance away.
I knew what it was going to be like on the lake and decided to stay home and let them see just how rough the lake can get even in the pontoon boat. Needless to say, when they returned, they were all soaking wet and I had the kettle on to give them something hot to drink.
After supper the sun came out and Ron challenged his nephew to a lawn mover race of five laps, which started and ended by the house, went around the front lawn across the driveway up the side lawn and back across the driveway to the front of the house.
Ron was in the lead for most of the race, but at the end he lost in the final lap.

Wolf Lake I-IV
It was going to be a nice day to go out on the lake, with a temperature reaching 79F (26C) and humidity making it feel like 86F (30C).
We decided to go to Wolf Lake for a change, as the last time we were there was in July 2014.
It didn't take long to get everything ready and we were on our way.
The nice thing about going out during the week, is that we do not have to contend with the weekend traffic.
Once at the lake, it was easy to put the canoe into the lake get everything loaded as there was no one around. Ron parked the car and we were off.
Wolf Lake I
We paddled out into the lake for about a half hour and Ron started fishing while I got out my sketch book and sketched until Ron caught a large mouth bass.
Wolf Lake II
After I unhooked the fish and carefully released it into the lake; the canoe had drifted and rather than paddle back to where I had been sketching I simply started another sketch.
Wolf Lake III
After Ron caught his second bass, we stopped for lunch in a quiet inlet. It was there, after lunch he found a great spot for catching bass. Which, aside from stopping to take them off the hook and release them, it gave me plenty of time to work on a drawing.
Wolf Lake IV
After he caught his fifth bass it was time to head back and go home, on the way I did this last sketch of rocks at the lake's edge.

Long Lake Cottage XIII - A Work in Progress
Today, I had planned on working on my art outside, but even though the temperature was 81F (27C) with the humidity making it feel like 88F (31C) it was a little breezy out with the wind at 12mph (20km) and the wind gusts up to 22mph (35km/h).
So instead of sitting outside and fighting with my paper, I sat in the porch enjoying the sunshine while I worked.
I wanted to get the main rocks inked in and if I had the time, to also start on the trees and growies.
Once the rocks were placed, I put in the tall leaning pine trees.

This was followed by the putting the bushes around the base of the pines.
Next, I put the small trees and growies in the cracks and spaces between the rocks and some bull rushes coming out of the water.
I will post this drawing at a later date once more work on it has been completed.
