Here's a spirit lifting photo to offset the mounds and mounds of snow
outside right now.

years ago ....

No. It took me a minute to remember. In addition to fishing, they were
using my foldable grappling hook to search for sunken treasure.

Yes. 16 foot model. I bought it in 2001 and gave it to my son-in-law
(father of the two boys) in 2004. They love that boat.

That thing is incredibly fast for a 115 hp engine. The only thing I didn't
like about the engine was that it was one of those Merc models that ran on 2
cylinders below about 1800 RPM, then the other two would cut in over that.
First time I took it out of Scituate Harbor it almost threw me out of the
boat. I wasn't expecting the sudden acceleration when I started opening the
throttle. It leaps from almost planing to flat out ripping in a nanosecond.

You get used to it, but the first time totally caught me by surprise.

--------------------

We are having a heat wave this weekend. Right now it's up to 39 degrees.
But the forecast for next week is back into the deep freeze.

Never had the traditional "January Thaw" this year. It went from fall to
arctic conditions starting a week or two before Christmas. I was concerned
it was just me reacting to cold and snow, but everyone in this area is
starting to get tired of it. Unfortunately, we still have a ways to go. We
won't be out of the woods until late March, early April.
