Alright, you slackers...


Today is sunny and 74, tomorrow is sunny and 77 degrees. *Spring has
nearly sprung here in SC. *I've got a couple of new items for the
boat, and will be out on the lake tomorrow for a few hours.


Who else will be boating this weekend?


I'll be with you in spirit.


Well John, we both actually knocked off early today, and went out for
a couple of hours. *Just got back in, and left the boat uncovered for
the night (rare!). *It'll be ready for us tomorrow about 1pm, and my
son is coming out with us for the day. *Back to the house in the
evening for steaks on the grill.

I made an appointment at the dealer for a pontoon cleaning and oil
change next week. *It's got quite a bit of growth on it from sitting
in the water over the winter, and we always have it cleaned every year
anyway. *They have a LARGE forklift that they lift the boat up with,
then pressure-wash and acid clean the 'toons. *It'll look like new
when we get it back, and with a couple of touchups by me with a scrub
brush in the water over the summer, it'll last until next year.

The big Yammie started and ran flawlessly. *Looking forward to running
the tank of gas out and re-filling, even though it was treated with
the Marine Sta-Bil last year. *The gas has been sitting lomger than it
ever has in the past, as this weather prevented us from getting out
much this winter. *Too freakin' cold. *This global warming is killing
me!
