Guys Weekend - Saugatuck

Getting together for guys weekend isn't as easy as it used to be. Jobs, gf's, family, living in different states, etc has made it hard to get the core crew together and act a fool. The applications of "Top Jaw" ropes are hardly seen these days, but we did manage to scrap together the few remaining guys in the area to head over to G-rap for the weekend. Begin guys weekend.....

True to his nature, Aug the Dog was late getting to my brother's house in Okemos so we could head to Jeremy's and get the show on the road. We had shit to do, prep for our fishing charter, make beer, hit up the bar, kick the strange out the next morning haha, and this guy starts us out with a BF-ing.... I don't remember what his excuse was, but I think we all know that it wasn't because he was pushing out another set at the gym or finishing up a run(all in good fun Aug)...

Trying to pack golf clubs, gym bags, baskets of clothes, and two bone crushers(Aug and Tian) including myself into the same car should have certified me as a packaging specialist. We were pretty cramped, good thing the trip was only a little over an hour.

We got to J's house only to find the front door locked so we broke in through the back and acted like we owned the place. Jeremy finally showed up with perma-cig(the wife) and soon the guys were headed to the bar to get some grub. We hit this place called Scorekeepers up and it was off the chain. There was indoor bball hoops so immediately the betting begins. I had just won a Rip Hamilton dog chain(I wear it as a conversation piece) from the Arts Beats N Eat's festival for shooting hoops, so I was feeling pretty confident. Now i'm still not sure how this happened, but a couple bets later I was paying for Aug's dinner as well as a couple of his drinks. FML........lost to Aug, the biggest disrepect of the night. So we finish up and decide to check out the outside in the back. Yahtzee! This place had hight stakes sand volleyball courts up and before I knew it, I was watching Aug and Tian sweaty as fuck from minor physical activity as we engaged in several vball games. During the game we had every opportunity to hop the fence and skip out on the bill, but when I proposed this idea to Jeremy he said, "I've already been to jail, i'm not goin back"......lol lol. Kid has been there more than once but that's besides the point...

It was getting late and we still had to pick up our bro's, Tracey and Zachary because we were all going fishing the next morning. It was an urban sprawl that night with people sleeping everywhere and from what I hear Jeremy even got laid that night haha. We were running late so J bought $30 worth of food/drink from the gas station and Aug handled Mcdonald's(like he has so many times before) for us. Finally we get down to the charter boat where headed out to fish in front of the mouth of this river. Now I was cutting glass, but the fact that we started hooking salmon left and right had warmed us up! We pulled names out of a hat to see who got to reel in the fish in what order. Jeremy, Tian, Tracey, Myself, Zachary, and Aug was last. We start putting fish in the cooler right and left. Coho's and Kings were nailing the Jplugs we were using. We've got two on at a time and Aug and Tracey are handling their business. Aug had been fighting this fish for awhile when Tracey got handed a pole and started reeling. Pretty soon we had Tracey's fish in the boat and were still waiting on Aug's which we finally got in. Begin the quote of the trip, "twice the size and half the time", Aug just got served haha! Everybody out there was catching fish and by the time we got in, we had boated 12 total. We were pretty satisfied. We got a bunch of pictures, of which i'm still waiting to get from Aug because he's lazy as fuck and won't send them out, and then took our freshly cleaned fish back to J's place for a meal. Total fillet weight was 64 pounds!

Now I would like to tell about the bar night we had, but in the interest of my time, i'm gonna cut this entry short. Let me summarize by saying that Jeremy got lazy eyed, and held up a soccer mom mini van full of girls(of which, only 1 was cute) to give them my number. My phone starts ringing only to find out what he had done. I'll let you guess what happened next, but I'll lead in saying that I was not interested.......hahahaha

CP out!
