You no, you would think that this place and places like it would be hopping this time of year!! I mean there is nothing to do, and we are all getting boared.
But it always seem to be the opposite?? Everyone gets so quite?? Then in the spring it starts to heat up again?
Fisherman are a bunch of weird dudes!!!
Especially CB ;D

Hey bud did you get that other boat home yet??

Yeah . . . MJ around the holidays is pretty slow. *

MJ, I've been called worse by better. ;D ;D ;D
Yeah, it's home finally. I'm starting to gather some materials to build a structure over it so I can work under it over the winter. Also looking everything over to evaluate what I want the final outcome to be before I start tearing into everything. Don't want to do it twice. Since I've got it and the cats out of the bag, I may as well tell everyone that I picked up a winter project. It's a 1978 Formula 233. Same hull as the earlier 23 Contender, 24 Albemarle, SeaVee, Bluewater, and the list goes on I'm sure. It currently has twin 6 cylinder I/O's that are coming out and a bracket with an outboard is going on the transom.
Once BS upgrades ISP with more space, we might need a special edition Formula section in the gallery. ;D

CB - That's a great christmas present.

hehe ;D Yeah, I know. I'm starting my own little navy.
Got the Wellcraft, the Formula, a 15' aluminum Mirrocraft, and a canoe. My wife has been pestering me to sell the Mirrocraft. I reminded her that I've owned that longer than I've known her. I bought it in 1972 or '73. Boat, motor and trailer for $800.00 brand new. The boat's nothing fancy by todays standards in aluminum technology but it has a side console with steering and controls, a 25 hp Johnson Sea Horse motor and a Dilly tilt trailer. It is just a standard V bottom hull and I got some Mahogony strips from my days at Boston Whaler and made a flat grid floor that'll keep your feet dry and i also made a bow locker to keep stuff dry and store the anchor. The stern area is closed in as well to store the two portable gas tanks. It's a good lake boat and makes a good duck hunting boat as well. It'll even get out in the salt in a pinch on real nice calm days and close to shore.
Anyways, the boat is staying so I agreed to peddle off a bunch of other boating related stuff that I've accumulated over the years. I've also got a big pile of Harley parts that I'm going to take to a swap meet and unload. Gotta save my pennies for the new project. Especially the repower. That'll probably be one of the highest tickets throughout the project.
BS, I'll let you know when MJ is going to come up for the private viewing and we see if you're free. ;D

I was unemployed longer than you. Can't you file for an extension? I think you'v e got to file for it before Dec 31st though. Look into it. You should qualify for a 13 week extension. My wife works though. I like having her support my vices. ;D
How'd your wife make out today?
