It is Cold & Raining. I Am Sick to My Stomach.
 
Well, it is 47 and raining. The weekend looks OK but iffy. My wife wants a bigger boat (I used to have a 33ft Donzi that I sold because the hull was a POS) but with the summers shortening it is hard to justify $1000 a month + fuel + slip + food + drinks + insurance + +++++++++++++:eek: It is tempting and with rates so low and sellers so scared it is the best time in 10 years. I saw 5.125 for 20 years:eek: Thats a deal. It looks like the X may come in handy now and a slip would not be needed so it may be time to shop.....if I can dig out of the snow bank forming right now:mad: Just ranting on a cold and wet Friday. Hey how is LOTO? It is only 12 hours from here:rolleyes:

Damn sorry to hear it....It's raining and dark here too. But at least it's in the 80's...

I hear ya. Record amounts of rain forecasted for this weekend, I am currently boatless and debating on whether I want to have all that money sitting on a trailer if the weather is not going to improve.

Hey Nick, Rags was flying back to Seattle today, I bet this weather made him homesick. It reminds me of living in Portland Oregon.

Tell me about it, Cuda...Three straight days with scattered storms...I can't take it anymore! :D

I was planning on heading out around here too Mitch, but this weather sucks, not to mention the low water conditions. It can only get better though, maybe by next week we'll have some warm weather finally. Later , Darren

I am trying to convince myself to buy another boat. but when I add it up the money $$ and divide it by june, july , and august, it doesn't add?

I haven't seen the sun since last october I think here in Philadelphia

HPChick 05-24-2003 01:49 PM

Rain, rain go away! Same thing here in Malibu, CA.... raaaaaaain. :-(

McGary911 05-24-2003 02:26 PM

50, damp, rainy, windy. My condo's on the ocean, and every time i look out the window, im reminded of how crappy out it is. I just bought a Donzi in February, and was really looking forward to getting it wet this weekend. Who knows, maybe tomorrow will be better. With weather like this, i cant even do much work on my 34' go slo boat to get it ready for the slip that i just paid for. Hmmmmm, maybe ill have a beer, that'll fix it. Well not fix it, but at least ill be having beer........

formula31 05-24-2003 10:00 PM

The only goo thing about this weather is I dont feel too bad about not having mine ready yet.

Crazyhorse 05-25-2003 10:04 PM

Hey, if the wife wants a bigger boat it's your husbandly duty to see that her wish is fulfilled.

dyno 05-26-2003 08:08 AM
