Around here in S. Illinois, for the last week and a half its been
nothing but chilly, damp and misery. Possibly to let up in the middle
of the week and get into the high 70's where it belongs but no boating
for me for a while.

Last saturday was the ultimate boat day of the year! and I was stuck in
bed with the flu! (*ugh*)

RATS! Looks like I might need to save it for Memorial Day weekend....

6 to 7 inches of rain? You've got to be kidding.
