Last year while anticipating knee surgery, Bob ordered a remote control sail boat kit to work on while recuperating. However, the kit came, surgery was delayed, and the boat built before his knee surgery in March. Launching on Pence Lake took place on Memorial Day Weekend.

Dream on, oh ye that labour, for yours is but a step away from reality.
I prom'n 8 and don't gain weight.
I dangle a line with the very best bait.
I explore nature, but guard against bugs.
I return home to get my hugs.The squirrels and I have an ongoing feud -
At the birdfeeder, they're very rude;
But I still see jays, finches, and chickadees,
Loons on the lake, eagles on the breeze.My corner of the world is a peaceful place;
Can't help but have a smile on my face.
Worked many a year to attain this spot;
My wife and I, we laugh a lot !Come visit awhile and sit a spell,
I've a yarn to spin and a tale to tell;
The campfire glows in the dark of night,
While the stars shine above with comforting light.We're reminded here of the Lord above,
Who created the world and us with love;
We'll share that love as best as we can,
With a helping hand to our fellow man.(poem by Pat Kelm - 2001)
