I'm getting excited too but she just doesn't want to get wet. Dug the boat out of storage on Saturday to go for a rip and the batteries were stone dead which i don't get as my isolator switch was turned off. Just finished charging them last night and they seem to be holding charge so at least there not screwed but now all my time is being spent getting the quads and trailer ready for this week end so i wont even get to enjoy todays +29 on the water:( Looking forward to hooking up with your good sometime in the near future.

Crappy weekend, but Monday was pretty nice out. Took our new boat out. Would have been nice but the reject that owned it before us drilled a 3/8 hole in the bottom so all day we were bailing the h20 out to keep from sinking. We also need a bigger, longer shaft motor for our little gem. But all in all it was a good float day. All of our boats lined up at the dock...Bogger, Plio, Mallard and Me.

We saw the coolest thing while we were out. A rainbow around the sun. First time in my life I ever saw someting like it. Took some pics not thinking they would actually turn out since they were of the sun after all, but hey, check it out.

Big meany bogger telling his daughter it was the end of the world. Poor girl was all sad thinking we were all gonna die.

So this week-end was supposed to be the week-end to dip the boat in the water and now the forecast is rain alllllllllll F#$%in' week-end. Grrrrr. This is the latest i have ever waited to float the boat in many years and it's really wearing on me. I'll be camping at Wab but not boating:mad:
