Default Winter dreaming....



C'mon Spring!


I'll be out on the boat this weekend. Forecast highs for this weekend are
in the low 70' s . Probably see a couple of wakeboarders out on the lake.
Great time of year for it. Very little traffic on the water. Mostly just
fishermen and a few people like me enjoying the sunshine and cool days.

Dreaming is the key word there!

I'll be getting my new boat cover soon, and putting it on the boat
will be the only 'boating related' activity anytime soon.

It's 10 degrees outside, and will get to 1 or two below tonight. And I
remind myself, that we only have to put up with about another 90 days
or so of this stuff, before it's time for me to dig out the boats.

Every time I go into the warehouse and look at them, I'm reminded of
how long the winter seems but actually how fast time really flies by.

Sometime (hopefully) in the near future, I'll be able to look at them
and say. "Ok, guys, lets go for a ride!"


C'mon Spring!


I have this nightmare on occassion in which Winter lasts for 9 months
and the landscape is perpetually, interminably snow-covered. It's
hard to imagine that there are peoples that actually spend their lives
in that environ.

I'm with you. C'mon Spring!



My brother spent 3 summers in Antarctica at the American base. He tells
about -50f summer storms. While other times was very pleasant.

sounds good. I was kayaking early this week, but the water was probably
49f.

I saw your post. I've always thought those Hobie pedal kayaks were pretty
cool. The flippers kind of remind me of a penguin swimming underwater.
Pretty efficient propulsion. I'd like to try one sometime. They're not
cheap, though. They get a pretty good buck for them. But I like the idea
of having both hands free for holding a camera or a beer.

I don't boat anymore.

He bought a used Revolution. Narrower boat. He is a lot smaller than I am.
I am thinking of buying his Outback. You can get them for about $1450 new.
The dealers can not advertize discounts, but they give them. He wants 12
for his.
