the neighbors must think I'm nuts

So it hit 50 degrees here today and I'm loving it! Boating season is almost here so I went out and pulled my l.u. to change the impellar and dhift shaft seal. I couldn't help it I cranked up the radio and sat there in my back seat relaxing and dreaming of summer lol.

Re: the neighbors must think I'm nuts

A canned beer is always a nice touch too. It's commonplace if we're hosting a BBQ or get together for the men to congregate in the boat while it's sitting in the garage. Them women usually stay clear of the garage and the kids can't climb in by themselves.

When I can't sleep I will sit in the bow (boat in driveway) late nite and watch all the little wanna be bangers run around the neighborhood. They never suspect I am there and it scares the hell out of them when I say something!

I think that's awesome! The neighbors are just jealous

Not to worry, Spring will be here before you know it.

Re: the neighbors must think I'm nuts

I had to buy an indoor dry slip - a dock-ominium or my wife was going to have me committed.

That's funny right there...

My boat is in the garage. And when the door is up, radio is on and I am usually cleaning or working on something boat related. Not uncommon to be sitting in it and drinking beer. Always get a few people staring a little... I think they just have boat envy. Wife says they just think I'm nuts.

Re: the neighbors must think I'm nuts

I've been fooling with mine in the garage for a week now. Supposed to be 55 tomorrow and I'm going to splash it and do some fishing. Of course the nights are still real cold so back to the garage she will go

Re: the neighbors must think I'm nuts

My stern points west. I sit in my boat trailered on my side yard and watch the sunset while drinking a beer when I can't be on the water. Sometimes I have the radio on. Sometimes I am running the motor on ear muffs so it seems like I am in the water.

My wife, kid, and neighbors think I am crazy.
