We ran off to the northern most place on Lake Huron that we could! Does cold weather affect us? Nope. Wind? Nope. 7 hours on the road? Nope. We persevere. 

A Cornhole Tournament champion was crowned.
A Poker champion was crowned.
A Monopoly champion was crowned.
One member commemorated his latest trip around the sun.

Listen this week to hear about all of it!

This week Denny looks back to staying with Grandpa and Grandma. What he didn't expect was finding a Paul Harvey segment from 1965 that would absolutely blow his mind.

Following that, everyone just chats about "current events". There is SO MUCH going on.....we had to.

Ams and Jams ruin some relationships and we get outta here after mail.

We appreciate you listening!
