When you are felling the pain of frozen lakes we have winter damage also.

We are seeing signs of Spring here. Perhaps Don will see it (I guess he is
way further north than me) in a month or so. Regardless, we can see the
light at the end of the tunnel.

Without a boat I am now wondering how I am gong to spend my spring (vs.
cleaning, waxing and prepping the boat). My wife and I have already
resigned ourselves to being without the boat in the late spring, summer and
fall seasons.

Sigh. I can see more household chores in my future, chores that we may
have contracted out in the past.

At least we have 5 good friends with boats and they all promised to take us
out. This includes 2 neighbors across the street from us, both of which I
introduced to boating. ;-)


Come up to Washington, D.C., smell and stare at the cherry blossoms,
see all the free museums, and help me wash and wax *my* boat!
