Right now it's 28F according to my thermometer, and the wind is whipping
branches around. Supposed to start snowing soon. Hell, it's too cold and
windy to hit balls at the local heated and covered driving range.

Miserable!

Temperatures here are expected to drop to single digits come Sunday. We
also have about 6 inches of snow (a couple of feet 30 miles further east) on
the ground.

Although I am going stir crazy because of being housebound after my
operation at least it is happening during the worst of the winter rather
than during the peak of summer!

Winter may be over in the Northwest. I hope. We had about two months
of almost non-stop rain, three enormous windstorms, and an unusual
spell of temperatures well below freezing.

While it has been cold at night, the days are primarily sunny and
bright. Just in time for the local boat show. Attendance last Saturday
set an all-time single day record for the show, and it's been average
or busier than average just about every other day. The January
sunshine has people thinking about, and absolutely buying boats. I
know of dealers that have sold their entire allocations for 2007, a
local catamaran dealer closed six boats all 26-feet or larger in one
day, and even the mega dealers are all smiling - all but whistling and
jingling pocket change as they stroll around the show. It looks like
it's going to be a *very* good year for the boat business, and that's
good news for private parties as well. The values of boats owned will
tend to be a bit higher- or at least not depreciate quite as quickly,
when there's a strong demand. (Sure hope all these new boats will find
moorage......)

80 degrees in SWFL, wind SSW 17 gusting 22.

Went for a quick ride in the inflatable at lunch time to check out the
new Honda BF20. Seems like a nice little engine although a bit
heavier than I would have liked.

We're not that cold, but it's not going to break out of the 30's very often
in the next couple weeks. That's too cold for boating and too cold for
golfing. I wish I had a treadmill!

Oh, I know. I've got Lee District Park just a few blocks away, but I'd
rather have the treadmill in my TV room.

Getting in any golf lately? I started a series of lessons, but it's been
too cold to practice, so I've taken only one.
