Sorry southerners, but this poll is for northern boaters only.

Answer these questions:

1. Is your boat in the water and/or ready to go?

Supposedly.



2. How much time did you spend prepping your boat for launch?


One minute.



3. What exactly did you do/have done to the boat to prep it?


I call the dealer and tell the shop to "recommission, please."

When I pick up Yo Ho from the dealer, I load it up with all the stuff I
took off last Thanksgiving.




Harry,
Is MD considered the North or the South?

Both, it's north of a lot of the U.S., and also south of a lot of the
U.S.

MD is the tropics as far as I'm concerned.

LOL! Where do you live Black Dog?

BTW: Why did you choose Black Dog as your NG handle? (Please don't tell me
that you have a black dog.) ;-)

I live near Sudbury, Ontario, which isn't that far north, geographically
speaking (46.5 N lat)but attitudes and climate are pretty polar. (I've
had a little "discussion" with Harry about wearing fur, which was enough
to convince me MD must be in the tropics)

Yes, I have a black lab and she's my baby and the best damn dog in the
world. Black Dog and/or Stella (the dog's name) has been my internet
alter-ego since 1994. Specifically, I use Black Dog in the newsgroups
because it is not gender specific - back in the early '90's newsgroups
were much more hostile places to women than they are now, and I, of
course, was younger and more easily scared. Now I sign my posts with
Stella so people know I am female - guess you could say I've come a long
way, baby!

Labs are great dogs and certainly have great temperaments.

You should post a picture of her at alt.binaries.pictures.sports.ocean (the
"other" place).

Don't have access to that group anymore (little trouble with the
newserver at home and the one at work cuts out the big files). But here
are a couple of my favourites from last summer,

The look of concentration reserved for food and fetchable objects:

I really like this picture. You can't see the dog but I think it
captures the essence of the lab. A sunny day, a lake, a stick - won't
somebody come out and play?

What's with everyone wanting a Labrador Retriever these days? My sister
has a Black Lab & my nephew a Chocolate Lab.
My wife wants to get an English Springer Spaniel this fall.

And my Yellow Lab just died. I love Labs, but I'll not have another one.
Get to attached to the damn things!
