[Rhodes22-list] My medical issues just keep coming!

[Jesse Shumaker]

Roger, that seems like a good idea to get an overall tuneup during the off
season in preparation for more adventures.  I hope everything goes smoothly
so you can get back in action.  My father definitely got relief from knee
replacements.

The Beaver Island Lodge is still going but we didn't make it there.  The
two places we grabbed a bite to on Beaver Island were the Circle M and the
Shamrock Bar and Grill.  We heard good things about the lodge but it
sounded a bit fancier.  We were not looking nor feeling too fancy as we
came off the boat :)
