Must be getting old.

39 degrees, but the humidity is fairly high, producing that bone piercing
cold that permeates every coat, hat, sweater that you wear.

Winters suck. And it's only November second. Can't even enjoy my new boat
that I got today.

I'm scheduled to be up in Boston later this week...and out on some
commercial construction sites. I'm hoping for temps at least in the
50's. I don't want to bring anything heavier than my "light" winter
coat. Downside is that I have to fly up and back rather than take the
Acela. The trip is quite pleasant on the train.

And then I have a trip being scheduled tentatively for December or
January for Minneapolis. Construction sites. Not looking forward to
being outdoors there in the middle of winter.

Which new boat did you get this time? :)

Damn, it's cold

$1.86 at a local station today. ;-)

We are expected to be in the high 60's to low 70's for most of the

completed.

In Iowa, far from the moderating influence of the sea, we occasionally
get more than a week of temperatures below 0 F. _That_ is bone
chilling cold. The cold air comes from central Canada at high speed
and doesn't warm up much on the way.

Get a down parka. It doesn't have to be subzero to wear the subzero
coat. Mine cost five bucks, new, at Goodwill. Still had the snap on
hood with it. Get a kilt but don't wear it. Hang it on the wall and
look at it, and tell yourself it could be worse.

Winter indeed sucks. I am 61, and yes, it gets worse as you get older.

Outdoor pre-winterization chores? Like putting away the hurricane
shutters and getting the boats ready for the winter cruising season?

You are going to laugh.

Do you remember the 17' Sailfish CC I had many years ago? The boat was a
'91 but had an older, 70 hp Evinrude engine that was rebuilt by Joel?

I had "sold" (given really) that boat to my older son's father-in-law. He
used it on a lake up in Maine for the last 10 years or so. He can't use it
anymore due to some health issues, so I now have it back in the driveway.

This is the boat that I made the famous exit out of the North River, hit a
freak wave, knocked myself out and then got lost in the fog.

I always liked it. It's a very stable and very good handling boat. I had
eventually replaced it with a 16' Boston Whaler Dauntless, but was
disappointed. The Sailfish is a better handling small boat for near shore
fishing, lobster trap hauling or general screwing around. Mrs.E used to
take it out all the time.

The 39 degrees by itself isn't bad. Like the saying goes, "it's the
humidity". New England, at this time of year, can have some cold temps,
but the humidity is still high, affected by coastal storms. The two weather
elements combine to make if feel much colder than it is. I'd prefer dry,
15 degree weather. It doesn't feel as bone chilling cold.

If the weather stays as it has been for the past few days, I'd pack
something heavier.
Today I was wearing a thermal lined parka which was fine during the day, but
by 3 or 4 pm it was getting too cold for it.

I reacquired a boat that I had many years ago ... a 17' Sailfish CC. I
used to have a picture of Mrs.E. taking it out on the old, original "Boats
of Rec.Boats" website.

It is. Joel did a good job I guess because the engine still purrs. The
only thing wrong with the boat or engine is the hydraulic cylinder for the
engine tilt is leaky. I can probably get a new one (or rebuilt) up at
Monihan's.

humidity or thunderstorms.

I really don't mid the winter weather. Well, as long as it's not 20-
with 35 mph winds.

I used to love winters in Connecticut. Really. I lived about four blocks
from my grammar school, and about six blocks from my junior high, so
getting to school was never a problem. I only recall a couple of snow
days during all my years in New Haven. After school, we used to go
ice-skating - outdoors. And sledding. We lived a few blocks away from a
nice, hilly golf course that provided great sledding opporunities. Great
fun. I remember some cold days, but I don't remember them bothering me much.

The coldest I've ever *felt* was one week in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
when I was attending the state Democratic convention. Beautiful blue
skies, unbelievable cold. North west wind coming off Lake Michigan.

It was even colder the week I spent in Thunder Bay, Ontario, but...for
some reason it didn't feel that cold. I have no explanation for that.

I don't much like the *real* cold these days, and fortunately we don't
get a lot of it here in southern Maryland. Temps in the 20's are okay
with me.

Actually, I enjoy the seasonality. When we lived in Florida, I was bored
by the "winters."
