Surely with nice weather like that you could find something else to
do?

This spoofing nonsense has gotten really old.

I did. I went to Chicago and goofed off with friends. Don't get the
chance to do that often.

Whoo hoo !

Probably more fun than working on alternators... :-)

.... and definitely more fun than varnishing 50+ feet of exterior teak
woodwork, which is what we are doing. That's not counting the transom
which is about 60 sqft by itself.

It was about 40 degrees when I got to the Lake Zoar boathouse of my
buddy's early this am. I was about ready to go back home but it's only
going to get colder. Anyway, we lowered the boat onto the lake and drove
over to the ramp near the dam where Mrs. Paul (not the fishstick lady) was
waiting with the trailer. It was really cold. Did I say that already?

Boat is washed, engine is winterized, boat is in storage shed.

Let it snow!

Supposed to be in the mid-70s here tomorrow. My wife and I are planning a last
play day on the Potomac before the boat's put up for the winter. Never got the
name of Harry's $8/foot shrink wrapper, so will use a local one at a cost of
$13/foot.

Oh well.

Pretty nice here too. We went for a picnic at the beach today on the
boat..

I like fall boating but sometimes we have early onset winter here, and I
wanted to get my old boat under cover before it got really cold. Now I
don't have to worry about her.

I still have my newer boat in the water in LI Sound for a couple more
weeks.

Unless I missed it you still never said what you do with your boat.
Fishing, skiing, drinking, transport, tanning...???

My small boats are great for getting lost back in skinny water. We
mostly like to camp and fish from our boat, sometimes I find a secluded
place to anchor up, throw in a line, and have a couple of beers..



Oh, we do a little fishing, a little cruising, a little sight-seeing, no
special agenda, whatever strikes our fancy on a given day or weekend. I
bought a late 90's 32' sportfish in 2004 and spent three years and too
much money "refreshing" her. I'm not a serious fisherguy, but the lines
and handling of this boat intrigued me enough to buy her.

First rain in months here. Cool and wet. Was out working on a new storage
rack for the kayaks, and got one side welded before the rain arrived. Using
some old 30' aluminum extension ladders for parts. replacing one I made out
of galvanized pipe welded together.

Perfect! How's your lab doing?

He is doing OK but he still has a running away problem.


Looking for love in all the wrong places ?

We have an appointment with a therapist tuesday.
(free from Lab Rescue of Florida but I am going to give them a
donation)

Please let us know what he (she) says. My pointer bolted half a dozen times, but
appears to be getting better about it. She doesn't go screaming out the front
door if it's left open a bit too long. And, she doesn't bolt out of the front
seat, over my lap, when I open the car door.

Ask that therapist for any quick recommendations on helping a dog overcome fear
of automobiles (*not* motion sickness - fear). This stuff - Cerenia -
http://tinyurl.com/buncyn - was prescribed by our vet, and works well to stop
the vomiting. But it doesn't get rid of the fear. And, it's not for use on a
long trip of several days or more. And, it ain't cheap!

The problem is not simply the running away. Mr Ed seems to actually
have a total change in personality. He doesn't even look the same.
There is a desperate look in his eyes and he seems totally deaf to
anything you say to him. Usually he is very well behaved. The trainer
says that is not unusual in Yellow Labs. Some are worse than others. I
am curious what she comes up with.

Ed doesn't have that problem at all. A car ride (or even a ride in my
golf cart) seems to calm him down. That is how I go get him if he is
really "off"
Sometimes he will just come in the back door of the screen cage but he
immediately jumps in the pool and won't come out. I get the same look.


When mine bolts, it 's much the same thing. She responds to nothing, just runs
as fast as she can. The last couple times, she actually returned. Time before
last was at a campground, and we thought she was gone. She sailed around the
outer perimeter of the campground and then hit the woods. I gave up chasing her,
which did no good anyway. But, after about ten minutes she was found by my
brother-in-law about 50 yards from the trailer. She was cowering on the ground
in a 'don't beat me' mode. I think maybe her previous owners must have beat her
every now and then. She's weird.
