Just a reminder that summer will be here soon...

[nola mike]

And I have a million things to do to get everything ready. But today was too nice to waste being productive. Skiff started on the very first pull after a couple of months of rest. I was so surprised I didn't know what to do (the battery was very dead).

60F here today & tomorrow. Whatcha mean soon??

60* here too. Checked the webcam for the closest lake and there is still a little bit of ice in the water. Otherwise I would have grabbed the boat this weekend but its also supposed to be 55* and rainy

I thought about it, 75 here today, played in the boat for a few hours getting things ready, but colder, crappy weather comming....glad when summer finally gets here !

Disgusting Stuff. Spinning Tires, skidding around Corners, sliding into parked Cars. I hate Winter.

It’s almost over.
But saying that I just remembered years ago maybe 97’ we had over 2’ of the white stuff on April 1st. Ya just never know what Mother Nature has planned for us.

Woke up this morning to a few inches of white stuff on everything. Did the clocks ahead an hour or the calender go back a month?

I never minded it near as much when I was younger. But I’ve developed a real hatred of winter over the years. If it wasn’t for the grandkids being in this area I’d have moved south when I retired.

It's been nice! I think we're having nice weather for the boatshow too. Are you going this year?

This happened one night near the end of April in 85, Car is running


It was about a foot - foot and a half deep. I was able to drive thru it with that One Wheel Drive Olds. Took about two hours of Driving to get most of the Snow off the Engine

Took the boat into town to fuel it up and vacuum it out, first boat ride of 2024 this week in central Minnesota.

My dad did that with Mom's Chevelle. Got towed out by a farmer on his tractor. Once thawed out in the local mechanic's garage, ran flawlessly till he sold it.

Somehow I don’t feel a modern car would survive this without some sort of problem.
