Hey guys, I have a bit of business up near Clifton Park but I need to
wait until the snow is gone. How's it looking up there? Anyone close
enough to give me a report?
Thanks, Scotty

One of my salespeople was there this morning. Major roads are fine. Back
streets still a bit sloppy.

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?

=============

Yes, there is. And, the ground's frozen hard. 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?

Good point. 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.

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.

I am picking up a mostly finished sailboat from a guy who never had

For the record, it's not weekender (stevproj.com), it's the larger

I was just ysing a generic term for small sailboats with minimal overnight

My Sandpiper 565 was a weekender.

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...;)

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 -

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.

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..

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!
