Winterized the boat and had the marina yank it last week. Beautiful

weekend to work on a boat but a shame...end of season. what a nice

year it was...and 6 months to Spring!

I'm not ready. In fact, it's going to be 83 degrees today, and I'm taking the afternoon off to go out on the lake. When we come back in this evening, I'll have to tie back up in a different slip so the entire dock we're on can be replaced in November.

I'm not ready either. But...the leaves have started their merry trip to earth, and I've not even
gotten a good start on the bumper crop of acorns we had this year.
Don't ever buy a house with twelve big oak trees thereon.

Too late... we have nothing but 90 foot tall oaks. Huge acorns. But our leaves are just now starting to get some color. Squirrels are going "nuts" right now. I bought one of these a couple years ago... worth every penny.

I'll be taking mine in for the winterization and shrink wrapping next week.

I never winterize, just take it out for a run at least once a month until it warms in March. It gets regular doses of marine Sta-bil all year long.

Wish I could do the same. But, the fear of heavy snow and/or freezing rain calls for the shrink
wrap. Don't want to ruin another cover.
