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! -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |

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! |

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......) |

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.
