Re: It's freezing out

It must be absolutely miserable to live up north and have such a short boating season!

... but then again, y'all do have that really cool ice fishin' and we don't have that.

"2 weeks HAHAHA" (you guys deserve it!!) Winter starts in Enderby.
(Now those lower mainland folks really deserve it, the island folk, not so much as they get their butts kick at least once a year good.)

Have to pull the carbs on the sled and do a good cleaning and get rid of the old gas in the tank, I think it has a ton of water in it.

Snows starting to accumulate around 4500 feet I bet.

Re: It's freezing out

all y'all jazzin us about having winter don't be too smug. Winter makes us appreciate spring & summer, gives us time to sit by a fire, & look out on a cold night's moon. Lots of other good stuff too. Skiing, snowmobiling, snowballs, no lawn mowing. But that gets offset by snow plowing & snow blowing.
Plus my boat gets some great treatment each spring before getting in the water. I'm debating whether to recover my interior this winter. Hmmm...

Re: It's freezing out

I do miss going out on snowmobiles.

One of the funnier things that has happened to me at our office was a temp who we had working there last year had an Arctic Cat jacket one morning. I couldn't help but ask why in the world she would be wearing a snowmobile brand in Tennessee. Turns out on the weekends she and her boyfriend would drive from Nashville up to mid-Michigan to run the sled. That's 20 hours of driving to sled for maybe 8.

Re: It's freezing out

Air: 0 degrees C
Water: 7 degrees C
Windchilll at cruise: Brrrrr....

I give! I give! Season's over! She's going to bed this weekend for the winter. Sigh...

You sir, are a true, hardcore boater. I salute you.

i would if i had to, its a passion ill never let go and pass to my son. i drive about 3.5 hours each way to ride for 8, early and late in the season before the trails open locally.

Trust me, it doesn't.

It's actually better in the winter because you don't have all that traffic on the lake and it's really nice and peaceful!

Re: It's freezing out

News flash - Middle Tennessee moved 30? closer to you northern guys today. Amateur lows by comparison ... but I did decide to break out a jacket

Re: It's freezing out

Man, it's snowing out right now! Day before yesterday it was 91 degrees!
Should be warmer next week, hope I can get the boat out then.

Re: It's freezing out

I hate not having seasons...

No boating today, but this was my lunchtime run. Got down to 70 F. Almost had to put on a long sleeve shirt.
