How was your trip out west? You were out in Utah right?

Ski boat went in Sunday morning and 5 of us went for a ride. They took it out of the water later in the day; it's on a trailer in the carport.
Around 3, a friend arrived in his 29-foot boat and they decided Keith should wakeboard. The water is still only about 40-degrees; the NH and ME stations were cautioning folks against being fooled by the warm air temperature. The crazy kid didn't use a wet suit or a dry suit. He started from the dock and because the lake is so high, he also ended on the dock. He barely got wet. His stunt wasn't for the faint of heart.
The ski boat won't stay in the water until May-ish. The big boat won't go in until the other dock gets put into the water.
(LOL...The dock the kid skied off is a permanent dock on a rock cradle that has a circulator all winter; that's home port for the ski boat. The big boat sits in a U-shaped, canopied dock that's hinged and comes out of the water for the winter. The sailboat goes on a mooring. The Whaler goes on the neighbor's dock. ; - )

When was official Ice Out? Water is much too cold yet even though some boats are in the water at Hopatcong already. Way too many chores and work to be done before launch. I have a bet with my wife that Easter will be warmer then Memorial Day.

I haven't read that thread yet. Trying to figure out just how I want to express my feelings about this season. :beer:

Went on mine already. Had hoped to get on the trails but the rain thwarted me. Did 2 laps on the red trail instead at the Rez. Class soon...

Ice out was March 24th...earliest in the 160 years that it's been recorded. Chores get slotted in around boat rides. My house is unfinished, and will probably always be. ; - )
And yeah, water is cooooold...!!

That was interesting to see the ice out that early. The explanation was to do with the lack of snowcover on the ice (which actually got thick enough for trucks to get way out on the broads this winter, which doesn't always happen). The lack of snowcover allowed the water, via the black ice over it to absorb more of the March sun than it would have with a relective snowpack on it to get the sub-ice melting/"warming" of the water accelerated, then through in the couple of big rain/wind storms in Early March that helped break up the thinner ice and voila, you've got an early ice out, or atleast the "official" definition of a Winnipesaukee ice-out (where the M/S Mount Washington can sail ice free into all of it's ports of call on the lake - Meredith, Center Harbor, The Weirs, Alton and Wolfeboro) even though a few coves on the Eastern end of the lake were still packed in hard with blown in ice)

Wishing I could take a nap. I overdid it a bit today dragging the bike trailer on the path (didn't fuel enough before, forgot all the gels at home, and didn't have enough water--plus it was 84 degrees and sunny)... Tired.

I just got home from work. It's been a really crazy week for me. One of my employees won the engineer of the quarter award. That's pretty huge for him, and well deserved. So we have to get our high level design submitted by tomorrow for a new project we've been on. We got about 80% through phase 1 (of 4) costs at a mere $18 Mil. :-o

On my way home from D.C. My Wednesday day trip turned into two days. The Dulles-Logan flight was really late.
Just getting to the Hooksett toll.

Just enjoying a semi-quiet day in the office where I'm here, but not really here (kind of minding the fort on a day when I usually don't work, but my business partner is out of town) Sooner or later, I guess I'll get around the the paperwork that I've been avoiding all morning

Had my noon conference call canceled. Now for my 1:00 call. I think I'll take the 3:00 call from the parking lot and get in a few runs this afternoon.
