Gun Lake Party!
Well, the annual trip to Party Island on Gun Lake with TEAM GUERRERO was a success once again.....A good time was had by all!
Here are some photo's of what occurred:
(not pictured-me utilizing my binoculars to check for "Terrorists"....)
The kids ventured off and discovered a real grave/head-stone on the island! This was a huge surprise to me and I will be updating with some research soon!
I did find an old foundation of a some type of house on the island last year and am searching for it's history....More to follow on this huge find!
Gun Lake Olympics Swim Training!
A Terrorist scouting flyby of Party Island??????

Upgrades!
I can't tell you how long I have wanted to watch the Tigers in my garage.....Tonight, that dream came to fruition!
That is the thing, if you want something, no matter how hard it is (hoisting this 32" ol' monster onto a shelf that is hardly big enough to support it was tough-especially when your assistant has a lame wrist), you 
have to go for it, make it happen! I am not GREEN at cobbling things and know how to make IT HAPPEN!
have to go for it, make it happen! I am not GREEN at cobbling things and know how to make IT HAPPEN!Green With Dissapointment!
Sometimes I feel so GREEN with envy....Other times I feel so GREEN with dissapointment....These dirty rotten guys are in hiding for good reason....
You see, the body they had is nothing more than a suit! No BIGFOOT! After all this excitement and anticipation, my hopes have been dashed.....Something is wrong with me that I wanted to believe it so bad....
Here is the story from FOX NEWS.COM
"So it really was a rubber suit after all.
Last week's excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body, which culminated Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet soufflé Sunday as an independent investigator determined it was all fake.
SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi had paid an "undisclosed sum" — Internet rumors put it at $50,000 — to Georgia residents Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer for their frozen "corpse" and the privilege of trotting them, but not the body, out in front of TV cameras.
At the same time, Biscardi sent self-described "Sasquatch detective" Steve Kulls to a secret location — apparently Muncie, Ind. — to check out the specimen.
Kulls, it's safe to say, was severely disappointed.
The upshot? Bigfoot, once found, is now again missing. So are Whitton, Dyer and Biscardi's money.
•In a long statement on SearchingforBigfoot.com, Kulls reveals what he found early Sunday morning Eastern time as the body thawed out.
"I extracted some [hair] from the alleged corpse and examined it and had some concerns," Kulls writes. "We burned said sample and said hair sample melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair."
Kulls called Biscardi in California, who told him to heat the body to speed up thawing.
"Within one hour we were able to see the partially exposed head," Kulls continues. "I was able to feel that it seemed mostly firm, but unusually hollow in one small section. This was yet another ominous sign."
Then came the clincher.
"Within the next hour of thaw, a break appeared up near the feet area. ... I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot."
That jibes with what Jerry Parrino, owner of Internet Halloween-costume retailer TheHorrorDome.com, told FOXNews.com last week.
"It definitely looks like our [Sasquatch] costume," Parrino said after viewing photos of the body.
The Biscardi team immediately went into crisis mode. Biscardi called Whitton and Dyer at their California hotel.
They admitted it was a hoax and agreed to sign a promissory note at a meeting set for 8 a.m. Pacific time at the hotel.
But when Biscardi got there, he "found that they had left."
"At this time action is being instigated against the perpetrators of this fraud," Kulls writes on Biscardi's Web site. "On behalf of myself I can say with certainty Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer [are] not the best Bigfoot trackers in the world!"
Loren Coleman, who runs the influential Cryptomundo.com Web site devoted to mysterious animals, isn't buying Biscardi's pleas of ignorance.
"He's a huckster, a circus ringmaster," Coleman told FoxNews.com. "It's all about money with him. It probably didn't matter to him whether it was real or not."
So why would Dyer, described as a former security guard, and Whitton, a police officer with the Clayton County, Ga., department, make it all up?
"They probably started out small, as a way to promote their Bigfoot tracking business, and got in way over their heads," Coleman figured. "These are not very intelligent individuals."
The involvement of Biscardi, who Coleman says was introduced to the pair by Kulls, brought them attention they didn't need.
"In a way, both sides may have been trying to out-con each other," said Coleman.
The Bigfoot Field Research Organization, another Bigfoot group that refused to take seriously what Coleman dubbed the "Georgia gorilla," wants everyone connected with the "body" — Biscardi, Dyer, Kulls and Whitton — arrested.
"Warrants need to be issued immediately before Biscardi leaves the country," the organization's Web site states.
As for Whitton, he doesn't seem to have a job to come back to in Georgia.
Asked for comment on Officer Whitton, Clayton County, Ga., Chief of Police Jeffrey Turner, corrected FoxNews.com. "You mean ex-officer Whitton."
"As soon as we saw it was a hoax," Chief Turner explained, "I filed the paperwork to terminate his employment."
Turner said he hasn't heard from Whitton, and that he was mystified at the former officer's involvement in such a blatant scam.
"He was a real go-getter," Turner said, citing Whitton's wounding in the line of duty earlier this summer while apprehending a suspect who had allegedly shot a woman in the head. "For someone to do a complete three-sixty like that, I can't explain it."
The woman who answered the phone at Biscardi's Searching for Bigfoot office in Menlo Park, Calif., said he was out ill but would return calls when he could."

OH WELL! HOPE IS STILL VERY STRONG HERE AT TEAM T! YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY! I HAD SUCH PURE PLEASURE WITH THIS HOPE, EVEN BIGGER THAN MY GREEN OF DISSAPOINTMENT THAT MY BIGFOOT YHETTI SPAGHETTI DREAMS WOULD COME TRUE AND I WILL NOT GIVE UP!
So all you Bigfoot hunters, BRING ME A BODY! I NEED IT!

Tenure!
Today is a celebration and a first for me........10 YEARS AT THE SAME JOB!
tenure: "A condition attained by a faculty member through highly competent scholarly activities which assures the faculty member security of employment and immunity from reprisals or threats due to an intellectual position or belief which may be unpopular and which guarantees annual reappointment for the faculty member until voluntary resignation, retirement, or removal for adequate cause."
Looking back, I am such a different person than when I started....Changed, that is for sure...I am proud to have stuck it out and am unsure what the future holds....But that is what makes life such an adventure! You just live one day at a time....This journey of 10 short years seems so long and was packed with so many memories.....There were times of smiles and fun, hysterical laughter....Times of agony and weeping, horror.....I came close at times in my head to giving it up and had days of such absolute enjoyment.....So.........
Here is to another 10!

Yhetti Confetti or Hoaxus Pokus?
Bigfoot located at Daisy Mae's Bar in Gun Lake!
All kidding aside, why is there this super huge side of me that wants this whole Sasquatch thing to be true? I watch eagerly and hope that it isn't a hoax....."You can say what you want, we have a body!" Were those words a check that is going to bounce or is all the oddity in this story a couple of legit hillbillies that got hooked up with the wrong Bigfoot investigator? I think these guys are in a little of a panic and really want this to come out in the right sequence....
I almost picture them like a couple of high school adolescents on that big date with a hot girl and in their angst to not screw it all up they are!
Only time will tell if the "body" proves true......I say, BRING OUT THE MONSTER AND LET IT BE EXAMINED!
Jitters
Some other noteworthy Bigfoot past....

Get To Work!
With the re-organization going on here at TEAM T, everybody is being put to work!
(Just a little side note, I accidentally deleted a couple comments that came in recently and was unable to publish them......keep em coming!)
Think out of the Box!
Well, yesterday it happened.....For years we have wanted a laptop....And so I finally went out and bought one.....A beautiful Toshiba laptop.....And life dealt a little blow to us as this beautiful new computer accidentally got dropped....And the SCREEN SHATTERED! A call to an authorized Toshiba dealer today revealed the cost of fixing the screen was nearly 700 dollars! Forget about it! Without further explanation, here is you tip from ALMOSTGUNLAKERS TODAY.....THINK OUT OF THE BOX!!!!!(I may be crazy but I am VERY VERY INTELLIGENT!)
Fisharama
Here's what I do to relax......What do you do? Some like danger (which I happen to enjoy now and then), some like reading (I read the back of cereal boxes), and there are those who enjoy exercising (I make a conscious effort to always walk fast and talk a lot everywhere I go and then skip any other exercise!) Look at all the personnel I keep on staff to help with the gear!
Some of you probably wonder "why does he fish so much? Is he nuts?" The answer is, yes. The reason I enjoy fishing so much has been explained earlier in the blog....However, basically it is an escape and a great hobby....Let alone the tasty fish! Here is the dock send off!
The "Church's" Walleye Planer Board System in action! (See, I go to church)
Tally: ZERO fish....Stress level nearly empty....(see above post for remaining stress :)
The high speed 15 horsepower takeoff! >

Clarification
In planning for the upcoming deer season, a looming question remained.....Last year involved a lengthy dragging of a deer through beach sand and it was quite a draining task.....
Since hunting in a "Wilderness Area" of the National Park encumbers us with a whole new book of rules, we attempted to get a little clarification.....
The question was, can we use one of these to assist us in dragging a deer out?
And the answer is:
NO! TWO WHEELED CARTS (AND FUN) ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED ON THE NATIONAL PARK WILDERNESS AREAS!
So, what if I used this high speed extraction machine to get the deer out? Figuring I could be in and out of the "wilderness area" before anybody even knew what happened! (imagine the look on ol' Ranger Ricks' face if he saw this goin about 80 through the dunes!)

Outdoorsman Hibernation
It is with great pleasure today that I present to you my concept on my "Outdoorsman Hibernation." You see, as much as I enjoy summer, only two seasons of the year truly touch the inner workings of my soul and the machine I call my "Outdoorsman Skills." I am sure that many of the readers of this blog know of which I am speaking as the tinge of cold air the last few nights begins to ignite that energy inside......
Summer is a wonderful season where I enjoy fishing and parties.....But only FALL holds the primer to awaken me from my OUTDOORSMAN HIBERNATION! As the cool winds and changing leaves soon begin, a fire begins raging inside which brings me out of my slumber....My body goes into FULL OUTDOOR ENGULFING EXTRAVAGANZA MODE !!!!!!!!!! I begin to forage through all the old memories of the woods and outdoors that so many beautiful Fall Hunting Seasons have burned on the movie reel of my soul....
Here are a few snapshots that play today on the screen inside my mind:
This year marks the 21st year I have ventured into the outdoors in the Fall and Winter!!!!!! Leelanau County once again will be the arena this year where the games happen!
Here is a little peak at the area:
While I can't give you much more details, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE FIRE INSIDE FOR ADVENTURE AND DANGER IN THE NORTH COUNTRY OF MICHIGAN HAS BEGUN TO RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
