Eh, I dont' know. If Harry invited me, and I could schedule it, I'd be
happy to hit the water with him...

No kidding!

Ditto. When I first started posting here and had some boating
questions Shortwave made some kind of offer to help me out - can't
remember the details. But I thought it was generous, and also
indicated his love of boating. I've seen Harry make similar offers
more than once. Not related to this recent offer, but for fishermen
it makes a lot of sense to split gas costs and have some mates along
instead of going solo. More boat time.
Not too much different than car pooling - but more fun!
Hey, you didn't catch much of that rain that hit Indiana, did you?
There are about 40 counties there which suddenly became a big lake.
Weird weather I say. Never used to give tornados much thought up
here, but I'm more tuned to it now.
Over the years I've noticed Lake Michigan seems to repel a lot of
heavy weather coming from the west and south, which is nearly always
where it comes from except in winter. Seems the lake sets up some
kind of pressure area. Might be wrong about that, but we don't get
much violent weather along the SW part of the Lake, like tornados or
12 inch downpours.
