Lots of heavy debate on the ole' board lately! How about some lighter subject matter? The weather here in Arizona is beautiful today. The Sun is shinning, it's 91 degrees, 10% humidity and lake Havasu is calling my name. Gonna spend a relaxing weekend on the lake and forget about life for a while. :)

Re: Relax

Mid 50's here this am. Took a cup of coffee with me to the boat to ponder it's spring cleanup. The ice is off the smaller lakes and i hope to get out early next week. Sure is nice to be out and about in the yard in a T-shirt again. Sure glad it's time to re-commision the ol vessel...I'm getting excited!

Re: Relax

Well,<br /><br />If the weatherman is correct, it's suppose to be in the 70's this weekend, but I have my doubts, as the temp right now is only 41*!<br /><br />I do have plans on getting the yacht uncovered and evaluated for its needs this weekend.<br /><br />Hopefully be able to start all the waxing and polishing too.<br /><br />Hope to be able to put in the water by May 8th.

Well, a couple of weeks a go I fired up the boat to get her ready. Then the weather turned bad. This weekend is suppose to be great weather. Tonight I am going shooting with the wife and friends, but Friday night I finish getting the boat ready for this weekend. I am really looking forward to playing with it. <br /><br />If she does well at the lake Sat. I am taking her on the river Sunday, for the first time that I have owned her. It will also be my first time piloting a boat on the river. I hope everyone has a safe time boatig this weekend.

Low 80's here.<br /><br />Windy but that is the norm. Begonias and Panseys are starting to take root and grow.<br />Bermuda grass is greening up by so is the Poe Annua :mad: <br />Got the plugs changed in my truck, sure runs smoother at idle, got some new ones for my wife's car. Bosch Platinums.<br /><br />Got some chicken getting ready for the grill, will do it with Mesquite and maybe some baked apples.<br /><br />All if fine in this little corner of God's world.<br />Oh, and my son made a B+ on a math test, he is estatic. He has been really having to work at it.<br /><br />"Don't get to upset with life, it ain't nohow permenent"

Re: Relax

Ok, Ill try:<br /><br />Lets see, works going good today, My Clamatis that I have been babying for 3 years is beautiful this year, I have most of the yard work done so when I get my boat back I should be able to enjoy it, My folks are coming over this afternoon for diner and I was going to barBQ but it is raining, Also I always keep my boat under cover and I took it in for repairs one week ago and it has been out in the rain for a whole week and that makes me sick, Sorry, I just couldnt keep it up!!!

Re: Relax

Well we won't talk about this week or weekend coming up.. more liquid sunshine! But the last two weekends have been great! Low to mid 70's and plenty of sun! Boats being towed every where :) <br />Took my wife, her mother (and Sandy dog) down to the boat launch to eat dinner, feed the sea gulls and watch all the boating activity.<br /><br />Link

Re: Relax

I took my boat out for the first time this year on Good Friday. The weather was supposed to be cold and rainy with a possibility of snow but the day turned out warm and sunny. The motor started on the first pull and ran flawlessly all day. My brother and I fished 2 lakes and caught 7 trout between us, 4 rainbows, 2 browns, and a small brookie. With the long weekend just a day away I'm looking forward to three more mornings on the water.

Re: Relax

What is wrong with you guys? :eek: I have been fishing four times already this year and had to mow the stupid lawn twice. It is beautiful here and now my wife wants the yard mowed again this weekend before I can go fishing. I would divorce her if I wasn't so scared of her. :D :D <br />Nothing honey ,yes dear I am heading to the laundry room now :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Central Calif.<br />High 60's and low 70's. Perfect weather. Took the boat out today. We were getting the boat ready to back down to the launch ramp and guess what? Hubby started up the truck and nothing. Starter trouble. So, took some time getting the starter back working and backed the boat down to the water and got launched fine. Boat motor started up beautifully, but when it was put into forward/reverse it would die. So we rowed around a bit while Hubby looked at the motor and it looks like the carburator. <br />Husband: <br />
Couldn't have picked a more pleasant place to work on the truck than on the banks of a lake. Beautiful setting!
:D <br /> Gotta love him! I know some men(my Dad- brother) that something like that would have ruined his day and anyone around him. A great day gone bad so easily.<br /> So, we'll take the little aluminum 12 footer out Monday and Hubby will get this motor going later. Pays to have a backup.<br />Bassy :)
