Best not to try this at high traffic hours...do it either very early in
the am or very late at night.

Kind of reminds me of what happened back in the mid-70's - I want to

Had to turn up the heat in my office this morning.

Is it really that cold up there. I'm working in the yard today and have
to come in every half hour or so, to cool off and rehydrate. It's hot out.

It's cool and damp. Need heat to take the chill off and it's the middle of
June.
Strange.

You picked a good year to not have a boat. Speaking about being
boatless. Did you get special dispensation from our keystone cops to
post here sans boat?

I am not boatless yet. Still have the Mainship. It's under agreement
again (following the discovery of the rotted oil pans). Potential buyer
knows of the issue and Kingman is working on replacing them.
Buyer's surveyor has already gone over the rest of the boat and it looks ok
other than needing a good cleaning.

They are supposed to launch it next week and the sea trial will follow
shortly thereafter.
If all goes well, *then* I will be officially boatless and will submit my
formal resignation from rec.boats.

take a parka.

Nothing much in the Dakotas but steers, queers, and rutabagas. Well, I
can attest to the steers and rutabagas. :)

Interesting states...very pretty in places...have a good time.

I'm not kidding about the rutabagas.
