We had a blizzard on Monday, a Nor'Easter with 20 cm of snow yesterday, and
now we hear that we may get that storm that's brewing stateside.
I should pat myself on the back for buying that snowblower.

Good timing. And it looks like pretty cold temperatures you guys are
expecting.

You are on your way down here with it, I hope.

We're due for snow-sleet-ice-snow over the weekend, according to the local
weather forecasts.

Heh. You might have to get BOTH of your plows out for this one. :-)

We're supposed to get 6-9 inches here in northern Virginia also. Had
to stock up on meat for stew and chili. Got lots of firewood. Hell,
let it snow!

The Brits sent over their new fleet amphibious flagship 'HMS Albion' for
frigid weather testing. It arrived yesterday for a four day visit and then
planned to travel to Newfoundland and north up along the Labrador coast for
another 6 days.
Cold they wanted...cold they got!

Why didn't they test it in Upper Quebec or Newfoundland? A much shorter
route from the UK with similar temperatures.

JimH,
I think here in Michigan it's called a Westerner. At least that's where
it's coming from.

Just checked the National Weather Service forecast for our area up north.

The marine forecast:

A POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS WINTER STORM WILL DEVELOP SOUTH OF NEW
ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT...AND THEN TRACK SOUTHEAST OF NANTUCKET SUNDAY
MORNING. VERY STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 65 MPH
ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY
GENERATE A STORM SURGE OF 2.0 TO 2.5 FT SUNDAY MORNING...ALONG WITH SEAS OF
25 TO 30 FEET ON TOP OF THE SURGE.


The snow forecast:

SNOW WILL TAPER OFF EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 FEET
ARE EXPECTED OVER A LARGE AREA...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ALONG THE
IMMEDIATE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COAST...AS WELL AS CAPE COD AND THE ISLANDS.

It's times like this that I really appreciate Florida in the winter.

Oh yes, I'll second that. Went out for a ten mile spin on the river
after work tonight in the little boat. It's been cool this week but
OK on the water with a sweatshirt and light jacket. Tomorrow we'll go
for a ride on the Grand Banks.

Halifax is the Naval headquarters for the Atlantic Fleet and they will be
working with one of our destroyer escorts. They do plan to head to
Newfoundland after the four day stay here.

Yes. I'm planning to retire at the end of April and start heading
north with the GB sometime in May. That's going to be our "summer
home" for the foreseeable future.

Let me know if you and Mrs E would enjoy doing part of that trip.
We're trying to get some friends and neighbors to join us along the
way and the more the merrier.

Sounds inviting, but I think we are going to beat you up there this year.
Kingman Yacht Center has promised to launch both boats April 1st (hmmmm)
and Mrs. E is itching to start playing with her's . We bought it at the end
of the season last year and basically took a little ride, had it surveyed
and then winterized and stored it.

Congrats on the upcoming retirement! Join the rest of us that have nothing
to do and no time to do anything. If you happen to make a pit stop at
Kingman, I am in slip 39 and Mrs. E's little GB is in #22. Both are in the
back basin. Stop by.

Obviously, you'll need to buy yet another boat, a neutral boat, as it
were, where you and Mrs. E. can meet on occasion.

Please, Harry. Don't plant any ideas in her head. I think this will work
out fine. 17 boats between us, so I won't be bothered with her "girls night
out" events and my boat will remain .... well .. "mine".

Yes, Bob

There have also been some interesting activities on the sun that has allowed
20m and 40m activity as well as some say 6m (which I haven't the
capability).... The X7 flare unleased a coronal mass ejection. It was also
probable that the CMD was directed earthward. It did hit yesterday and we
are now seeing a planetary K index (Kp) of 8, with a reading from Boulder at
7. But because the Bz is strongly positive ,,,,, it does decrease the full
impact on geomagnetic activity. But the IMF might turn southward, it is
probable, which is already a major or savere geomagnetic storm and will
increase even more in strength....
Of course, the dynamic pressure of this passage is very high, and the speed
is over 950 km/s. And at the same time the proton storm is finally
ending.....


interesting because i tuned the bands last night and they seemed
pretty dead...hope they pick up.

Oh, well, I guess I could find some of those... but I'd really lose
my ability to gauge how slick it was before *I* go out...

See.... Maggie is a Glen of Imaal Terrier, a little over a foot high
at the shoulder, weighing in at 40 pounds and, representative of the
breed, hugely muscular... sort of a small, coarse haired, Abrams Tank.
She waits until her eyeballs are floating and then, *she has REALLY
got to GO.* Leaving four knee-high rooster-tails of shaved ice and
towing the better half across the icy deck, which is about three feet
off of the ground..... Maggie is looking for the express route to
"that special place," but all the wife can see is the rapidly
approaching steps to the ground.... and in her eyes, certain death as
she is dragged over them. It is sort of a short, quick, surrealistic,
Iditarod....

I've sorta learned to gage the relative slickness against the volume,
quantity, and earnestness in the screams of terror....

Gee, I'd hate to give all that up..... :-)

Yes.

You know... I don't know. To maintain the warranty I have taken it
back to the dealer.... they didn't specifically charge me for doing
it, but it might be on the (long) list of things that must be done
and, thus, are covered by the flat rate.

I don't have the service manual with me, right now, so I can't
check....


The reason that I asked is that my local dealer suggested changing the
anodes on my DF250 every 200 hours. He says there are anodes up in the head
that need to be changed (never heard of this???), and it's pretty extensive
work to get 'em off. He's telling me that the 2 hour service (change oil,
water pump impeller, thermostat, anodes, bonding wires, lower gear oil, etc)
is $240 in parts alone...and another 4 hours labor. I also have to pay
transport cost because I don't have a trailer. The bill will be over $600!

I'm at my 100 hour, and I've been quoted $148 to change the engine and lower
gear oil. I'm probably going to do it myself since it'll take about 45
minutes.

Have you ever heard of replacing anodes in the head? They must be part of
the cooling system, but the service manual just calls for an "inspection" of
the anodes at 200 hours...and replacement if they more than 2/3 gone. I
store my boat on a lift and flush the engine every time. I doubt anodes can
go that quickly.

For non-dentists, the bill is only $48.

I was actually wondering that. I made the mistake of calling from my
office. The service manager called me back with the price, and of course my
receptionist answered "Dr. NOYB's office". I figured that the price doubled
once he heard that.

Harry,

I found the bill. It was in my desk, not in my vehicle.

I paid:

Oil filter element 22.00 (yikes)
six quarters yamaha oil 30.84 (yikes)
2 gaskets 3.74
fuel filter 10.73
cleaner-degreaser 6.95
CRC 3.45
fogging oil 4.95
lower unit lube 18.75


The labor charge for these services was $145, but that included a complete
boat and engine washing, inside and out, and a full check and run of the
engine going in to storage and coming out in the spring, along with lube
of engine and control fittings.


Add another $180-200 for the water pump impeller and thermostat
replacement...and another $100 in labor and parts for the anodes...and
you're at my magical $600 ($550 plus $50 to transport the boat to the
marina). I love my 4-stroke...but I'm not real thrilled with the
maintenance costs. Of course, at a 12gph burn rate times 100 hours of
running equals 1200 gallons of fuel burned. If my engine was a 2-stroke
that used Yamalube at 50:1, I'd have burnt 30 gallons of the stuff (it sells
for $24/gallon at West Marine...although a few places sell it in bulk for
around $16-18/gallon). So the 100 hour oil change is still less than
2-stroke oil.

Our icy season is still to come. Now it's all snow so I haven't tried mine
yet. My sister had a pair and used them on an extremely steep driveway and
loved them...until her dog chewed them up.

We were supposed to get 4-8" of snow, but the storm passed north of us,
and we got 2-3" max, though there are snow showers forecast for today.
It's -11C right now, though, and the winds are howling. I haven't been
outside yet today. Looks pretty miserable.

We're not totally immune down here in Florida either. It's a chilly 58F
right now. ;-)

Seas are 2 feet right now, but building to 10 feet this evening with NW
winds 20-25 knots. The temp is supposed to drop 25 degrees over the next
12-18 hours. The Tampa area (160 miles north of me) is issuing Gale
warnings, with seas 9-13 feet, and temps 27-32F.

100ft of the 12 ga cord plus the blower itself is heavy enough to drag up

teeth begin to sliver same as Pinocchio does,,,

Where's the guy with the little electric snowblower?

We were supposed to get 4-8" of snow, but the storm passed north of us,
and we got 2-3" max, though there are snow showers forecast for today.
It's -11C right now, though, and the winds are howling. I haven't been
outside yet today. Looks pretty miserable.


We're not totally immune down here in Florida either. It's a chilly 58F
right now. ;-)

Seas are 2 feet right now, but building to 10 feet this evening with NW
winds 20-25 knots. The temp is supposed to drop 25 degrees over the next
12-18 hours. The Tampa area (160 miles north of me) is issuing Gale
warnings, with seas 9-13 feet, and temps 27-32F.




Sounds like a good day for the semi-annueal SW Florida Dental Assn Fishing
Tournament.

Dump some snow there and she might change her tune.

Let us know how it works out :-)

LOL, and I'll bet the natives are all bundled up. I spent a winter down
there. It was always a funny sight. The natives bundled in their down
winter coats, while the Michigan tourists headed to the beach in their
tee-shirts.

I went out today anyhow. Fished the back waters, and it wasn't too bad if I
fished the leeward side of the mangroves. My 5 year old and I caught
countless mangrove snappers and sheepshead on live and cut shrimp. All were
teeny tiny, but it sure beats the snow.
