Who else will be boating this weekend?

I'll be with you in spirit.

Well John, we both actually knocked off early today, and went out for
a couple of hours. Just got back in, and left the boat uncovered for
the night (rare!). It'll be ready for us tomorrow about 1pm, and my
son is coming out with us for the day. Back to the house in the
evening for steaks on the grill.

I made an appointment at the dealer for a pontoon cleaning and oil
change next week. It's got quite a bit of growth on it from sitting
in the water over the winter, and we always have it cleaned every year
anyway. They have a LARGE forklift that they lift the boat up with,
then pressure-wash and acid clean the 'toons. It'll look like new
when we get it back, and with a couple of touchups by me with a scrub
brush in the water over the summer, it'll last until next year.

The big Yammie started and ran flawlessly. Looking forward to running
the tank of gas out and re-filling, even though it was treated with
the Marine Sta-Bil last year. The gas has been sitting lomger than it
ever has in the past, as this weather prevented us from getting out
much this winter. Too freakin' cold. This global warming is killing
me!
