      67 here in the middle of the mitten, with a nice warm breeze from the SW. That big heat lamp in the sky isn’t out as much as I’d like, but I’ll take it. The channel that feeds my lake is open now and

      The main part of the lake is OPEN! Our part and the route to the main part is blocked. We’re making progress. I saw another lake that was completely open and others over 50% open.

    I FINALLY got some time and some decent weather to get the boat all cleaned out (with the help of 6poundbass) and got my new 93SV UHD units rigged, I’m just waiting on my BIL to come solder the wires. 
     

    I re-rigged a couple set ups and spooled up a spinning combo that got lost in the shuffle and I forgot about. ?

     

    I still need to fire the Yamaha up yet, hopefully this week, and I’m hoping to get it wet this week as well. 
     

    My project list is still quite long which includes trailer bearings, possibly the bunk boards, and for sure the bench seat redone. 
     

    I’m way behind schedule which I’m not happy about but such is life, things could be worse.

    Four degrees in Maine this morning, but the thaw begins today. We've got a stretch of warm weather for the next two weeks, with highs from the low forties to low fifties and many lows above freezing. Woo-hoo!

    You do realize that was almost 3 years ago...

     

    And I wish I could - but I gotta stick close to home - semi-disabled wife and no one available to take over from me for long trips.
