The weather for today was predicted yesterday to be sunny and 70 with
possibility of showers on Sunday.

Turns out to be wave after wave of rain showers and 58.

They cannot even get it right 18 hours in advance! Washed out
today.........no working on the boat. ;-(

I still haven't removed the cover from my boat yet. Maybe I should have
bought the 10' x 20' portable garage Costco had on sale last month.
At least I could do a little work on the boat without taking a bath.

mutters something about global cooling then writes, Yeah, I bought one
of those tube tents last season, have not put it up yet but thanks for
reminding me. All folded up nice in the box and since my boat is only
16 feet, the 20 x 10 tent will do nicely.


I bought on of those at Sam's Club two years ago and store the '55 pickup in
it during the winter. The secret is to anchor it well. I drove 2.5'
sections of rigid EMT conduit next to each tent pole then clamped the poles
to the EMT with a couple of large hose clamps. This is in addition to the
rope stays anchored into the ground or tied to nearby trees.

It's withstood some 50-60 mph winds, rain and snow with no problems.
