You can tell by those who ask for advice and then ignore it because its not what they wanted to hear. :deadhorse:

Yea Bruce and the other long list, I was frustrated a bit. The normal spring sort of thing, before the ramp madness sets in. Sorry just a lot on my mind.

Ramp madness -- Spring is the worst time for that. Just because it ran fine 6 months ago it should start or they spend 2 hours trying at the ramp before giving up,,,,, or the 1st launch- ever,,,, or where could those dock lines be? just the thought makes the money spent on an inside dry slip well worth it!

Re: It looks like spring is here

Running into that with a couple guys that want some work done, but won't pay to have it done right and completely. They both told me what their motors needed and didn't need. I told them to go get what they needed from someone else.


Ramp madness will have to wait a while, still have 18" of ice.

And here is my 7 day forecast:



Overnight Snow before 5am, 1-3". Low around 28.
Saturday A chance of freezing rain and sleet, sleet accumulation of a half inch possible.
Saturday Night Rain and snow likely.
Sunday Partly sunny, with a high near 44.
Sunday Night Rain and snow before 3am, then snow.
Monday A chance of snow before 8am, then a chance of rain and snow between 8am and 10am, then rain .
Monday Night A chance of rain before 11pm, then a chance of rain and snow between 11pm and 1am, then snow after 1am.
Tuesday A chance of rain and snow.
Tuesday Night Rain and snow likely.
Wednesday Rain and snow likely. Cloudy, with a high near 42.
Wednesday Night A chance of rain and snow.
Thursday A chance of rain and snow. Partly sunny, with a high near 40.
Thursday Night A chance of rain and snow.
Friday A slight chance of rain and snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43.


How depressing. I just managed to get the boat shed doors clear of snow so I can get it out.

Re: It looks like spring is here

I stopped by the local launch today. Ice is off the lake, I could see it 3 days ago. One boat was on the water and another old timer was getting ready to launch.

We talked a little, I asked if he needed any help. He said "Nope". I told him to have fun.

The wind is blowing 20 to 30 mph today, white caps on the lake.
