doing any boating? Still waiting for the wind to die down here, two
bathroom remodels to progress past insanity stage, 1,000 of poured
stamped, dyed and sealed concrete, and various other lists of things to do
so I can take the maiden voyage in my new used boat. Guess I should go
out there and pull it in the garage and check on all the electrical and
start making sure it doesn't go up in a puff of smoke. Lots of strange
wires that seem to go to nowhere. It has a livewell pump, a bilge pump,
running lights, depth finder, nothing too complicated. The zerks could
use a shot of KY. Need to build a mount for the trolling motor. Check
the wheel bearings. The usual.

Trees are budding here. Hummers showing up. Snowed today. Spring is
close.

It's still too early here in MA. Our marina officially opens May 1st
although they start commissioning, launching and sticking boats in their
slips starting next week. I was always an early launch and a late
(sometimes in December) haul but as I've gotten older, I now wait. Decent
boating weather (ocean) here really doesn't begin until late May and into
June. I remember having 8 inches of snow on May 3rd a few years back, plus
the ocean in these parts doesn't really calm down until late May or June.

Guess it IS the time to get things ready to go. Check for leaks, dead
batteries, the kind of stuff I usually wait until I'm on the water to
discover.

Well I asked my two sons to take the tarp off of mine last Saturday as
all the snow and ice is finally off the drive. Well, you know how lazy
teenage boys can be so when I saw that it was still there on Sunday
afternoon I thought that they had forgotten about me. They must have
at least gotten around to untying everything because on Wednesday I
notice that it had blown off and was lying in the neighbor’s yard,
three house down!

Hey, sometimes progress with teenagers is measured in such a way ........
