I need to determine when the snow cover is off the ground, we have to go off road to load and move a boat. The guy does not want me to tear up the yard. Do you know if there is there still snow on the ground up there? |

You're probably better off with snow on the ground, especially if you have 4WD and a low gear range. Why not call the guy and ask him what shape the ground's in? |

Even the guy who plowed my driveway couldn't hurt the lawn a couple of days ago. The big municipal plow is another story. He took out the first 4 feet back around Christmas. I suspect either cell phone use or cocktails in the truck. |

When that snow melts and the ground thaws.......... a vehicle an make quite a mess. Heck... even my dog makes a mess when the ground is soft & wet. Where in the Queen's grammar manual does it describe "a vehicle an make quite a mess" is proper grammar? Still need to know if the snow cover is gone up there? Anyone up there that can fill me in? The guy asked me to wait till the snow is gone, also noted he was busy so not to bother him till it is... ======================== Simple answer: The snow cover's not gone. You buying a boat from this guy, or doing some sort of work for him? I am picking up a mostly finished sailboat from a guy who never had the time to finish it and just wants it gone. I hope to finish it up during the summer.. Nice little daysailer with a small cuddy, sleeps 3-4, room for small kitchenette.. Is the 'big guy' gonna fit on that weekender?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - For the record, it's not weekender (stevproj.com), it's the larger version called Vacationeer. It's 20 feet long, and 8 feet wide... I was just ysing a generic term for small sailboats with minimal overnight accomodation. My Sandpiper 565 was a weekender.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah, I figured, but just wanted to be clear as the designer of these vessels has a boat called "Weekender". Anyway, I am very excited but will probably need some sailing lessons after I get a sail bent on. So if you get down this way...;) Maybe we can enter it in the 2009 Marblehead/Halifax race. You, me & Tom should make a competent crew.http://www.marbleheadtohalifax.com/-Hidequoted text - - Show quoted text - Speak for yourself, last time I was in a sailboat, I got a merit badge for it..;)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - If the weather keeps up like this, 75 or so, I'm running my new to me sailboat up to the lake soon! I've been doing some reading on sailboat handling!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Dare I ask, what boat did you get? Got pics,, ? |
