Anyone else sick of winter??

skiing was interesting today, only a few more weeks, and I'm going to be ready to hang up the skis for the season.
 
Winter? LOL it was 86F here today, but because I clearly have issues, have not been able to stop tearing the boat apart, and can't get it back together fast enough to get to a lake.:smt089
 
Never winter over here guy's
Sorry but 28-32 degrees all year round and clear seas.
Guess living on the equator has it's benefits :grin:

This is the second ski season in a row that I've missed. :smt089

The worst part about it is that I had invitations to go to Park City and Albany for a week each with a guy who writes articles for ski magazine for FREE.
All I had to do was get there. I couldn't make either one becasue of important things going on at work. :smt013

Oh well... At least I'll have money for fuel this year... And with these fuel prices, most of the Chesapeake Bay... all to myself.

Just pulled the bubbler on the dock and hosed it off. Sure lots easier to clean these things when they come out of cold water vs. removing them from warm water with grass growing on them.

How was the snow! I am heading up to Stowe for the weekend.
 


O yes lots we are restricted to inner island activity only due to the problem...
Lots of people with the big girls are getting very frustrated with it all. :smt013

At the moment small boats rule over here :thumbsup:

Do the islands patrol to protect against the pirates? Are you armed when you go out or is pretty safe in the restricted areas?

Spike, because you are new here, you are required to post lots of pics of your boating paradise.:grin:

The ice has moved out....now we need to get water levels a bit lower! We were 15ft above normal over the weekend! I'm ready for spring, Mike.

Just wish the big mountains were closer...

Ummm... you need to connect me with your ski mag guy. I've got access to cheap flights. and have a blast @ Park City!!!

And a true ski bum would never let work get in the way - trust me, there are tons of granolies in this state that think that way!

Sorry, just saw this. The snow was good, but packy. As soon as you skied over it, it would freeze. So, it was getting worse as the day wore on. The powder from Monday was all hardened and made for a good base, with 2" or so of new snow.

You guys aren't kidding. After 2 seasons of no skiing, I think I need a new user name. I just haven't been living up to my current one... :smt089

If the economy were better and we had better leadership, I would have told work to kiss my... But I figured this is a bad year to be looking for a new gig.

Maybe its time I changed it to Boatbum
