Seasonal Affective Disorder
 

Definition: Putting your boat away for the winter.

I think I need some good therapy.

Right on.... :( only cure would to move down south :)

It sounds like that isw what our buddy ALLAN4 is doing!!

I thought a good blower on his engine would cure him:D but he's off to FL!!!;)

Allan4, I read that. IM just going to take a deep breath and try to shrug it off.

Put mine away 2 weeks ago and suprise, its going to be around 70 this weekend:mad: :mad: :mad:

Of course last weekend it was around 30:D

I hate unpacking my Baja sweatshirt...;) :D

One month gone and six to go. Makes you want to move north doesn't it.:eek: :eek: :eek:

garshev, North of Mexico maybe:D

See you have a 33 also. What power, top end, props, etc. I've got HP500s and still dicking around with props. Just curious.

cant deal with the cold weather, we are still boating in Texas, next weekend we are having a Baja fun run from clear Lake Tx to the casino in Lake charles by water, one day there, gamble spend the night then come back the next day, hope it dont get cold hate it when it gets in the low 70's:D

we are dual sported put the boat away, work on the house for a month or so and then pull out the snowmobiles. Then in the spring put the snowmobiles away, work on the house for a month or so and then pull the boat out of storage. we always seem to be looking forward to the next season. I keep telling the wife that I always need something to ride!! It is also a hell of a lot cheaper to hit 125mph on a snowmobile than in a boat.

Yep, same here. We're in the t'aint season: T'aint summa, T'aint winta. So that means raking leaves and remodeling a bathroom.
Another month or so, hopefully the groomers will be out and then its sled time. At least I can say I've done an honest to god 112 (GPS) on the lake. Of course it was frozen at the time:D :D

You guys got it figured out. You get to sled and boat. See, in Cincy we get 35 and rainy for our winters. I grew up riding sleds, and miss it badly. It's a flat out blast, as you know:D :D

Yep, I'm in FLA for a few days, not sure if I am going to stay down here for a while or not. I know this sounds goofy and all, but to tell ya the truth, I love winter!!:confused: :confused:

Ahhh yes. The old days.

I could do quite a back scratch off a mogul, run sleds until my fingers froze off, monsterous snowball battles, even a pick up game of hockey. Raised in the snow belt you could always dig tunnels in the snow mounds.

Now I'm close to 40 (not yet). I take great pride in my snow removal equipment as my skis rust, not enough snow (nor the area) in Akron to ride sleds.

Cincy is kinda like Akron, winter purgatory. Not enough snow to be fun but enough to keep you inside.

I think I'll go play with my kids...my best therapy.

PS I see a few Ohio people on the board. If your going to the islands next year look me up.

B-Lion, sounds like we have some similiar pasts here. I played Hockey for about 13 years, have been plowing snow for about 15 years, grew up riding sleds and desperately want to get back to it, and enjoy few things more passionately than pounding thru the bumps on my 195cm Hart F17 bump skis......ahhhh, yes, I really do love winter. However, I have sort of retired from the snowplowing business. Too much headache, plus I sold the landscape business which was a large portion of the plowing package. Still go out and shove some around though, IF it snows. Last year was the first winter since I was in highschool that I did not hook up the plow. Pretty nice blade, Western 7.5 ProPoly and a Buyers 8 bag spreader. Felt really nice to not push snow for a winter.....:D :D Looking to get back on the ice, lace up the skates and light up some rubber. I miss playing, ready to get back at it. If you played any competitive hockey and am about my age (30), I may have played against you, spent many winter weekends in northern Ohio, etc.....

A4 I grew up about 30 miles south of Erie in Meadville. I did not skate much but I can (could) brutally defend a goal. Your more my brothers age who stated 4 years in high school. The won 2 state championships.

Peak and Peak was pretty close. I went there quite often with the occasional trip to others. Too be young and fearless again!!!

If you get up to the islands looks me up.

Im lazy on that snow thing, so my dad bought a snowblower. It is great, i plug a cord into it and into the wall and then push a button and it starts right up. I dont think we have used a gallon of gas in it since we got it 3 years ago. THat money could have been put into my super charger fund :rolleyes:

Hyper, you got the wrong idea, you need to take that snowblower out and make some $$ for the charger...:D

Lion, I know a few guys who used to bounce around some of the little hills up by you about 15 years ago, but they were more by Cleveland. they hung out alot at Boston Mills. I have never been to Peak and Peak, but have heard about it. probably just like the 600ft vert hill about 20 min. from my house. I'm not real picky though, just give me a nice bump run with about 20-25 turns and I will beat that thing (I actually take a lot more abuse than the hill does HeHeHe...) for hours on end. Fun Fun.

We did not play many highschool teams, they were typicallly in their own leagues and would not shcedule us. Sometimes we would get an extra game scheduled on a trip, just a one time deal. We usually layed the smack down, highschool hockey in Ohio is not like it is in Canada or Minnesota or Mich, NY....etc. Some good teams and great players, but overall is pretty average. NOt taking anything from your brother by any means. We played AA travel and floated around alot of teams from the Little Ceaser's League in Detroit. Fun stuff, I sure miss it. You goalie bastards are a little nuts!! I have probably played 30 games at Tam-O-Shanter in Sylvania, I'm sure you know the place. Sometimes I wish I would have pursued playing for longer than I did, I really miss it.

Well, I'm sure we will do a PIB trip in 03. We all will have to get together. Later man, A4
