Lighthouse

by | Jul 6, 2021 | Travel | 206 comments

Another Saturday, another road trip, the plan was lunch at North channel brewery then south to drop N1 at College in Big rapids MI, then after Sister dragging ass, I was told to bring my camera, we are going north, to Frankfort, home of Stormcloud brewery, Yippee!

 Up M31, which is faster relatively, Frankfort approaches, and we land at Stormcloud, there was a 20 minute wait, We didn’t mind at all, business was booming! Sister and N1 had never been, so they tried some other dishes,

The House

Fowl weather Sandwich

The Rachel

Beer

I started with a light ale, Rainmaker, as we ordered some Brat bites and pondered the menu, Sister is a light drinker so she ordered a Weathered and hard cider, quite pleasant,

Weathered Hard Cider

I perused the Beer menu and found the Lakeshore Ale Project, Sour edition, Sours? Done deal, I bought day 8,

Day 8 Sour Ale

the sour looks like this,

The Sour

after some Glamour shots we set off to our goal, the Lighthouse,

Frankfort

My Sister and N1

Oh yeah, this was about lighthouses, let’s see, ah , here’s one,

Frankfort Lighthouse

Closelier

But wait, there’s more!

Brilliant!

Blah?

Happy people

Through the looking glass

Arcadia Bluffs

Pretty big place

Michigan, the food is great, the people are wonderful and the beer is good, this year is bagging lighthouses and golf courses and breweries, wish me luck!

I shoot with a Kodak AZ 421, not a badass camera, but better than a phone, I don’t use filters, the ambient like is more than good, you just need to learn how to use it, and let the natural light be your friend, til next time,

      This was at lockdown time, yet they had no masks, hence a picture

    So how was the Day 8 sour ale?

      Fricking awesome,

    Sounds like a splendid way to spend a day.

    Love lighthouses. Thx. No idear what that food is.

      I wrote this some months ago, I had forgotten it, ha!

      I was wondering about the snow, but wasn’t going to ask….

  6. westernsloper

    Thanks for the post Yusef. The food looks good and I am a fan of brew pubs with food. The one in the closest town died during the “plague”. The others in further towns figured it out and are booming. I love lighthouses and I am incapable of not buying a miniature lighthouse I see in a second hand store or garage sale. (not that I go those very often) My collection consists of three. Lighthouses and all other ATON light the safe passage so who wouldn’t like that? Something has to tell us where it is safe to go.

    • straffinrun

      I always thought lighthouses told you where not to go.

      • UnCivilServant

        Unless you’re a battleship/aircraft carrier.

        /old joke.

      • westernsloper

        They flash a known flash that is stated on the chart. Get a bearing. Add a couple of other bearings of other ATON and they tell you where to go. Or at least if you are going to run aground. I have ran aground. My life has spent years aground. The deepest part of any given channel is not only a safe place to be it is a metaphor.

      • straffinrun

        Everyday is like a metaphor.

      • Ted S.

        I thought every day is like a simile.

      • straffinrun

        Everyday is a simile for a metaphor.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Maybe metaphorically

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        I have bounced a few sandbars on my Prindle Cat,but never unintentionally run aground, yikes!

      • Sensei

        Run aground too many times to count.

        Fortunately always floated off. For my waters you always kept track of the tide and if it was incoming or outgoing.

      • dbleagle

        We have run aground in Kanehoe Bay in waters we have known for years (me) to over a half a century (skipper). It happens. Whenever I find those cheap outdoors photo cell lights I put up red and green along the driveway. In Montana I had a long driveway that curved 90 degrees. Coke and Sprite cans showed the edges of the “channel” in the snow. Nav lights are good, but should always be taken with a grain of salt.

        A few years ago during the Maui to Oahu race we had the winds fail as we approached the lighthouse at the Diamondhead. We were sailing west at 1 knot and the current was going east at .9 knot. We stared at that damned light for five hours (2000hrs to 0100hrs) making no headway until a small build of pressure got us the last two miles to the finish line.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Thank you Sir!

  7. DEG

    This sounds like a good day.

    Nice pictures!

    • straffinrun

      Clint Eastwood told them to paint it?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        +1 HELL

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      I need to bag that one, but I’m heading to Traverse City first, this weekend as a matter of factm Golf, breweries and lighthouses. I met a Disc Gal from Cali that wnats to travel with me, Summers looking good.
      Except for this bloody Rain!

      • The Gunslinger

        Rain is just a good reason to stay inside. IYKWIMAITTYD.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        I just left her house, we had Dinner then “Dinner” so we are burnt out, but we play every day, fun!

    • blackjack

      And I want to paint it black. No colors anymore, I want them to turn black.

      • J. Frank Parnell

        But then it would be Big Black.

  8. juris imprudent

    I assume he will mandate masks for this epidemic since they worked so well for the last one.

    • straffinrun

      It’s a disaster alright.

    • rhywun

      Actual criminals must be having a good laugh over this tonight.

  9. straffinrun

    They’re going door to door try to vaccinate the unvaxxed. Wow.

      • straffinrun

        Go on. I only saw the headline.

      • The Hyperbole

        From what I read it sounds like a ‘get out the vote’ information campaign, less of a “goons showing up with needles” type thing and more Jehovah witness type “have you the news heard about the vaccine” thing. The government shouldn’t be doing either but honestly I’ll be surprised if it actually comes to door to door, yes Biden said “literally go door to door” but literally no one uses that phrase correctly anymore and the gov’t couldn’t even manage to get people to go door to door for the last census. I could be wrong but I’ll believe it when I see it.

      • Mojeaux

        The correct answer is “None of your business.”

      • rhywun

        I’m sure it’s only a pleasantly-phrased ask.

        My doorbell rang while I was working today – I wonder if it was them. I don’t answer unless it’s someone I’m expecting.

      • blackjack

        It’s not mandatory, but we are going to hound you to the ends of the earth if you don’t get it. I shorely don’t want no revenuer types snoopin’ ’round these parts.

        Now, I lucked out and have to quarantine for 10 days after I get back from Florida. Biden’s covid “relief” bill allows two weeks of additional sick time for anything covid related. So I get and extra two weeks off with full pay. Yay me. Oh, and it’s only because I haven’t gotten the vax. LOL.

      • rhywun

        I’m on another list. Yay. ?

      • blackjack

        Well, I had to tell my work and I’m sure that will haunt me at some point, but I’m pretty sure they knew already. We got special early slots because we had to work through most of the lockdowns. At an airport no less. I declined every offer. I doubt they got any new info from this. They are about to pass out mandatory reporting forms where the options are, vaxxed, nonvaxxed or decline to state. There will be special rules for the last two. I am not about to lie anyway.

      • rhywun

        My work says they won’t ask.

        When they break their word, I’ll just helpfully tell them they are free to let me work from home. (Happy I have that ability.)

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      Legit LOL

        Very much this!

      Crushed by a Buddhist temple?

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        *Huzzah!*

      • Sensei

        There is always some story about a westerner all spooked by the swastikas in Asia.

        Although it is a bit jarring seeing them as markers on modern maps.

      • blackjack

        Nah, they’re just for messing with the straights, man!

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Dmned right Anglers!

      • Gustave Lytton

        Jarring seeing them on temples too. First, because not really a temple kind of guy and second because it just blends in like the rest of the carvings. Seemed more insidious like that.

        Of course the country that supports Huis Ten Bosch could easily come up with a replica Prora.

      • Suthenboy

        “It was built by Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1939 as part of the Strength Through Joy (Kraft durch Freude or KdF) project. ”

        I was wondering where Clinton got the idea of camps for adults. That ‘we need to have more fun’ speech was bizarre. Now I get it.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        Strength Through Joy

        That’s disturbingly close to my HR’s summer “culture” series title.

    • Gustave Lytton

      Maybe they’re Buddhists?

  10. The Hyperbole

    I built a lighthouse once.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      I should do a Cliff/Lighthouse Diorama, it would look cool,

      • The Hyperbole

        The one I built wasn’t on a cliff, it was in a parking lot and to be honest it was kind of clunky because the client didn’t want to put any more money than necessary and just wanted a unusual and tall landmark to put his business sign on.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Interesting, pics?

      • The Hyperbole

        Unfortunately no, this was way before cell phones and when everyone took pictures of everything, I checked to see if google maps had any street views of it but it’s apparently too far out in BFE and they haven’t gotten there yet.

      • Yusef drives a Kia

        Ahh, I ‘member

    • blackjack

      Pretty sure that same pic is on the bathroom stall at the local gas station.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      That’s slick.

    • blackjack

      He should be fired, if nothing else just for being a stupid motherfucker. Who thinks this is a good idea, especially if you are the fucking chief? Retard. Pretty sure the gardner knows better than this.

      • Chafed

        That’s the part that astounds me. He had to know this could only go wrong. He has such bad judgment. It’s idiotic.

      • The Hyperbole

        Systemic racism. If only this peckerwood had been exposed to Critical Race Theory he would have known better.

    • EvilSheldon

      There is some kind of personality disorder involved here.

      • blackjack

        I’m pretty sure he’s friends with the black cop and he was just messing with him. It’s still incredibly stupid and he should be fired for it. The black guy’s gonna sue and that town is gonna pay the black guy a stack of cash.

      • creech

        Firing offense, yes. Taxpayers hit for stacks of cash? Why? What harm did black cop suffer? Cops who regularly get qualified immunity for breaking the law shouldn’t profit from misguided jokes played on them.

      • blackjack

        Agreed. I’m just pointing out what is likely to happen.

  11. wdalasio

    That was a great photo essay and looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing.

    I’m also a fan of sour ales. But, I have to admit that, like IPAs the style is admittedly forgiving of less than stellar brewing.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      Stormcloud speciaizes in Belgian Ales, my all time foavorite beer style, so when I saw the were doing sours, I knew they would be good, and they are.

        Not since Feb. 8, 1985.

        Pray tell us, what happened then?

        That was the day they stopped using Detroit river water to make the greatest beer on earth.

    Great pics, Yu!

    Looks like fun. Nice to see unmasked faces from 5 months ago.

    I hope we never go back. It was dehumanizing, but I’m pretty sure that was part of the plan. Scare people and dehumanize them so that everyone sees everyone else as a potential health threat.

    Then keep them from school, from work, from church, from visiting the elderly, from getting married.

    Sick fuckers.

    • Yusef drives a Kia

      We may, May, get to take off our mask condoms at work finally,they don’t even see how foolish the policy is or ever was, this is a job killing mentality for me,

        We have to keep ours until Sept. 13th. Per Biden’s EO. Luckily, I get three weeks off, so only two more weeks of wearing the feed bag.

    • Hyperion

      Depends on the 2022 election. If enough vote democrat or they’re cheating stays in place well enough, we’ll probably be ok for 2 more years.

      In the case the Ds get blown out the water, pandemic incoming 2022 and you can count on it.

    • Hyperion

      The next vaccine will not be as simple as this one. The next pandemic (totally not created in a lab and released intentionally) will spawn variants forever. So the best way to manage that will be a biochip which will allow updates whenever it is needed. that will include GPS location on you at all times, your DNA, all your banking information, etc.

      I’m not religious, but this will be basically be the Mark of the Beast. Sorry, but there are some conclusions you just have to come to if you’re a logical thinker, regardless of ideology or not.

      • Somebody that you don't want to know,(Somebody)

        My main reason to not take the Vaccine, I fear it is the Mark of the Beast, I will not comply, I’m serious,

        That’s far from the nuttiest reason for or against the shot I can think of, but maybe that’s because I’m a nut.

      • Hyperion

        There will be signs in the heavens. I figure when they name an upcoming comet ‘Wormwood’, it’s time to go far away and off the grid.

      • hayeksplosives

        I kind of assumed the “mountain” falling on the earth and turning the waters bitter would be nukes, but maybe it’s SMOD.

        I dunno. I don’t really need it to happen in my lifetime.

      • Hyperion

        I myself am convinced, for whatever reason, let’s just call it intuition, that it will be some sort of planetoid like a mini planet or just large asteroid, that gets trapped in our orbit and screws up the orbit of the moon/earth and causes debris to fall into our orbit and/or to earth. I seriously did not get this idea from anyone else or any film or writing. It just sort of came to me. And I’m not even religious, I consider myself agnostic, I keep an open mind. Or maybe I’m crazy, that’s a strong possibility. I had dreams, put it that way, a lot of them.

        I’ve always been convinced this will happen in my lifetime. Although, yeah, not looking forward to it.

  14. Somebody that you don't want to know,(Somebody)

    In other news, my left hip is killing me, nerve impingement and agony, I get why people use opiods. the bad thing is I can’t get to my Dr. until August 24th, and the way my hip is grinding I’m not sure I’ll make it that far, until then I still put down 9 miles and work, so Fuck it, I still golf. Insurance is great, if you can use it.

      Poor Yusef.

        Not necessarily of the USA, but of Western culture in general. It’s in the way of the Marxist utopia they have planned for us.

      • one true athena

        Yep, it’s the Extinction Rebellion crew. Not exclusively them, of course, but I think of them as symbolic of all of them. They’re all nutty eco-terrorists who want to tear everything down (and I’m convinced some group of them will be the first to Kool-Aid themselves). But when you look into XR, it’s just astroturfed, created literally overnight worldwide, by the same group of people who sit on the boards of Ikea and the Ford Foundation and other rich people places like that. But the people in it don’t know/don’t care, and are just happy to be the foot soldiers and break stuff because that’s how they find meaning.

      • Hyperion

        They’re going to get us all killed. The only happy part of that, is it means them too.

      Looks like a normal cat to me.

    • Chafed

      I wouldn’t have guessed from the picture.

    • Shpip

      Obligatory.

      ‘Course, it just looks like a big kitteh to me.

    • Hyperion

      Jeebus. Never let anyone give you a cat. At one company I used to work for, some of my female co-workers found a cat by the dumpsters and somehow convinced ME to take it home. It was just a kitten, maybe 8-10 weeks old and looked like it was so starved to death, I didn’t really think it would live. It was just skin and bones and ribs sticking out. Once I got it home and started to feed it, it never stopped eating. It would whine for hours until we’d give it more food. 22 lbs later…

      • hayeksplosives

        My NuKitty seems to be capable of stopping eating when he’s had enough.

        I did have a cat once that just ate and ate and got to almost 25 lbs. Eventually bought him a feeder that dispensed a preprogrammed amount of food (in quarter cup increments) up to 4 programmable times of day.

        He got down to a far healthier 18 lbs. He was a rather long cat from nose to butt, so 18 wasn’t crazy fat. He could runaround the house just fine.

      • Hyperion

        Missy (my daughter named her), was just a big cat. But fat also. I had to put her on a diet as well and she lost a couple of lbs, but she remained a little fat and much lazy. Orange Tabby. should have named her Garfield, she fit the part.

    What could possibly go wrong?
    I’m sure there is absolutely no way some deplorable will get hassled by govt agents and/or start shooting his mouth off (or maybe not just his mouth); which will shortly be followed by an “executive order” during this “health emergency” to “protect” these selfless workers, who are just out trying to spread the holy gospel of Merck and J&J.
    I am assured no such ballyhoo or tomfoolery like that could possibly occur. I want to believe it… but alas, not after 2020.
    “Fool me once” etc.

  17. Hyperion

    Not sure how I got on the apocalypse theme tonight. But it seems to be occurring with increased frequency for the past couple of years.

    I’m having this thought that every so often in history, there’s some form of a mass hysteria that grips this planet. Maybe more like a mass insanity. Take the 1930s for example. What compels people like Hitler to go batshit suicidal level insane? Or the Bolshevik Revolution or the Cultural Revolution of China, where people get into power and are instantly willing to commit mass murder on a global scale even of their own people to achieve their insane goals?

    I feel we are on the cusp of another and much worse world insanity hysteria. All of the sudden after all of these years, have a hardcore commie back in charge of a much empowered China. While here in the USA, we’ve went completely insane. We have so called leaders in charge now who have no morality or principles at all and are devoted to tearing down our own society. They have zero restraint. And they have a massive nuclear arsenal. Alongside that Russia still has one too and China has nukes now was well, along with India and Pakistan. We are so fucking fucked.

    • Gustave Lytton

      And don’t forget the junior and aspiring members of the nuke club. Quaddafi pretty much guaranteed none of them will ever give up their aspirations.

      • hayeksplosives

        Yeah, the guy was a nut, but he went out of his way to show that he’d given up his nuke ambitions, bioweapons, and chemical weapons.

        And what reward did he get? Handed over to ravenous extremists with the help of the Hillary & Co. and sodomized to death.

        Lesson learned.

  18. UnCivilServant

    Not sure what this says about me.

    At some point over the night it became such that if I tried to breathe naturally (that is, let the autonomic systems control breathing) the stop of the inhalation cycle would trigger a sharp spike in pain from the gallbladder. The thought never crossed my mind that “I’m in a hospital, call a nrse and get painkillers” Nope, it was all “slow, shallow breaths with just these muscles and it won’t trigger…” I only realized the first was even an option after the episode had passed and I reported it to the nurse on her 4:30am rounds when she asked if I wanted anything for the pain. Since the problem had subsided and I could breathe, I declined.

    • UnCivilServant

      I’m going to try to catch up on some more rest. Later, glibs.

    • Somebody that you don't want to know,(Somebody)

      You should see a doctor about that,
      Hope you are ok U,

      • UnCivilServant

        Thanks. I needed the catch-up sleep, but now everyone’s running around making noise, and the sunlight’s pouring in the window, so I’m awake.

      • rhywun

        Yeah, it’s hard to sleep when they come in every couple hours to poke and prod at you.

      • UnCivilServant

        What do they want with so much blood?

      • rhywun

        Best not to ask.

      • TARDis

        I was told they need to get blood from three different locations. I already had an IV, so two more stabbies, every time. Fun at midnight, more fun at 0300.

      • rhywun

        In my case it was to determine what nutrients I was short of. After my innards shut down completely, I wound up with a Christmas tree of feed bags.

      • TARDis

        Plus everyone’s monitors going off all the time, people in pain screaming for relief, and people who don’t want to or can’t sleep yapping on their phones.

      • rhywun

        people in pain screaming for relief

        Oh God that was the worst.

        I suppose I was supposed to be that guy for the other patients, but I kept to myself.

      • Gender Traitor

        After one or the other of TT’s strokes, it was the recurring game of “Pull My Finger.”

      • Gender Traitor

        Yup. ::recalls too many early mornings after trying to sleep in TT’s various hospital rooms::

      • UnCivilServant

        How is everyone else this morning?

      • Gender Traitor

        I’m great! My boss is WFH today, and my hardest gotta-do’s are done, so I’m hoping for a quiet day. I’ll have my beloved Nook with me, so…

    • Timeloose

      Jesus. My company is not woke by comparison. I hope that is not my future or I will quit.

    • TARDis

      That’s just sick. I feel your pain. Everyday is new a poke in the eye. I’m pissed off at myself because I didn’t plan better so I could walk run away last year.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      No surprises there. Raytheon business model revolves around government contracting. They’re just keeping up with the bullshit du jour.

      • Suthenboy

        They will be eaten last?

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      The document notes that black people are ‘exhausted, mentally drained, frustrated, stressed, barely sleeping, scared and overwhelmed.’

      Now do kids traumatized by COVID lockdowns and insane adults.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Sounds like they think black people are beautiful but delicate like Faberge eggs. Seems like people would get sick of being lorded over and talked down to but what do I know?

    • TARDis

      Canadians?

      Decent tune, strange video.

    • limey

      The auto-generated captions/subs don’t have a standard/imperial option, just “English”, which used to mean that, but we went metric in the ’80s.

    • limey

      I am so completely worn down and worn out. It’s a war of attrition on the self, reason, enlightenment values, real scientific method, morale, truth, mental well-being. Everyone I know is a 100% on board and scorns anyone who questions THE SCIENCE, the stats, etc. I’m at the point of sometimes having to lie just to avoid the screaming Donald Sutherland response, as much as I avoid the topic with all but my family who are perhaps the worst, but to whom I will not lie. If I thought that Trump had broken people, and things would never be the same, I never realised how much worse it could get so quickly. I know there is worse just up ahead. We can’t see whatever it is but there are clues. There were clues to Covid before it happened, even though hindsight is 20/20. I don’t mean to covid itself, but to how it was taken advantage of. What’s the next great leap forward in the destruction of civil liberties and the complete tearing apart of any trust, reason, and good faith among us?

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Or they’re closet, or maybe not closet, leftists with the hidden agenda of collapsing the system and replacing it with their governmental and economic model. Seems like the communists are clamoring the loudest for it over there:

        Closet? To me they appear to be wearing it on their sleeves, have it tattooed across their faces, and be screaming it from the rooftops.

      • rhywun

        “Climate lockdowns”. They’re already discussing it.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        I remember reading the first clamoring for that less than a month in. The precedent of declaring an issue a public health problem and implementing draconian policies to address it has been set and will be branched out to other issues as they see fit.

    Howdy Glibs! If the bugs keep it up my time in MI will be short, I’m covered in bites from head to my big toe, nothing is safe. I will bail on this whole operation if I can’t find relief.

    • limey

      Black market DDT?

  20. limey

    That looks like a really nice trip. I couldn’t stomach the drinking but a nice meal and a walk does me good.

  21. LCDR_Fish

    Hayeksplosives – just saw your post in the Afternoon links. While Pensacola may be nice, you might want to look into jobs in Huntsville, AL. I think the R&D there is more your style and I’ve heard great things about the area from military/contractor folks.

  22. Tres Cool

    suh’ fam ?

    yo whats goody

    • Gender Traitor

      Good morning, homey! I got payroll posted in a timely fashion after only having to harangue one dawdling supervisor to get her folks’ time sheets approved, the Dragons won again last night and are leading their division, and my boss is WFH today. Does it get any better than that?

      • Gender Traitor

        Oh – and I have two new pairs of shoes “out for delivery”! (Of course, our Duluth Trading order of mostly undies and tank tops appears to have disappeared four days ago somewhere between UPS and the USPS. “Mail Innovations” my Aunt Fanny!)

      • Tres Cool

        I got my grass cut yesterday, despite being eligible for a mowing-while-intoxicated.
        Im kinda proud of that accomplishemnt.

      • Gender Traitor

        Rider or pusher?

        (I’m talking strictly about your lawnmower, BTW.)

    • Festus

      Got my big site ship-shape for today’s inspection. Worked my ass off for a week and a half and feeling the burn now. It doesn’t matter. Faults will be found. Sending happy gloves to UCS this morning!

      • UnCivilServant

        The purpose of an inspector is to find fault, even when everything is in compliance.

      • Festus

        This I know but I’m awfully thin skinned about it and prone to anger. I used to like when corporate just ignored me.

    • Tres Cool

      Would as long as I didn’t know she was walking around full of prisoner DNA.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      There’s somebody for everybody.

    • Festus

      That’s what you call a “Prison wallet”!

    • Q Continuum

      DAMN. Was not expecting her to look like that.

    • Suthenboy

      No thanks. She is a nut. We had those at the hospital. I said something to one of the nurses about the shenanigans going on and told me in no uncertain terms that every woman she had seen like that in 30 years had an STD of some kind.

      I will take a pass.

  23. Q Continuum

    Whycome no morning lynx?

    • WTF

      STEVE SMITH STILL TOO BUSY RAPING.

    • Translucent Chum

      They must have hired Robbie to handle.

    • Chafed

      OMWC overslept?

    Nice article, Yusef!

    I love lighthouses. We have a really pretty one on the North Shore that I have visitied many times. Great view and cool history.
