It's 5F right now outside my home office window.

I knew we were going to pay for those balmy days last week.

Sheesh.


Wow - that's cold on ANY thermometer!

We had the opposite: snow and record cold (*HIGH* of -9C!) last week. As is
typical, 6in of snow brought Vancouver to a screeching (well, sliding) halt.
Allgone now and back to typical West Coast weather: warm and wet. If I didn't
have so much to do on Far Cove, I'd be taking the Tin Boat out to Nicomen
Slough and try to scare some cuttys.

In fact, I see on the North American weathermap that our temps are consistent
with those in southern Carolina (not QUITE Northern Florida...)

You should rename that boat..."The Tin Man" All sorts of allusions...


Actually, it doesn't really have a name. I wanted to call it "Skeeter", but
everyone thought of mosquitos, and there's a bassboat mfr of that name. I've
been referring to it as "the tin boat" since I got it, so I guess that's its
name.

It is now a balmy 14F here. I have bribed my wife out of bed with breakfast,

Wow - it's like 4pm over there, isn't it? More like "Dinch" (meal between lunch
an dinner).

have promised her exclusive use of my ski parka if she will accompany me to the
mall wherein is located Bass Pro Shops. The parka comes down to her knees. Oh
well...fashion is fashion.

That sounds like a Mistake: When I take my Lady to a fishing shop, I can only
spend money if it's for HER...and she buys lures based on how "pretty" they are.
