We've been ice free now for quite a while (except in the tropical
drinks). High today was in the mid 90s. We'll be heading north as
soon as you guys turn up the heat just a bit.

Was a pleasant day today. Maybe 70. Finally little wind. Just enough to
make the f'n cottonwood bloom go everywhere, including the pool. makes more
mess than the pair of Mallard ducks that seem to like my pool. Yesterday
and the week before was a cold, high wind. Yesterday, they had a halibut
tourney in San Francisco Bay. Guys said wind was ripping at 6am. Normally
this time of year, is at least 11 am before the wind machine cranks up. Got
the boat partly apart, sanding and welding to do a repaint job in a couple
weeks. 2 weeks Kayak derby, so the big boat will be out for at least a
month.
