Pull up roots and move on down...  It was 86 yesterday.  Looks like a repeat today.  This webcam is about 3 miles down the road from my house.

JuneC: Thanks for the web cam. It is beautiful!

I interviewed for a job in Florida many moons ago. I was told that it's very difficult to get a suntan from florescent lighting.  ;D

Here's the two webcams I have on my desktop.

Caliumet, MI: http://www.mainstreetcalumet.com/Web_Cam/  This cam has been down since a few days before the CopperDog 150. Caliumet gets around 200" of snow each year.

Spent several months in your neck of the woods several years ago. In my pop-up camper. Kayaking is great this time of year.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

Mike, the beach and boating is MUCH nicer on your coast.  And the people are more friendly.  But in the business we're in, the East Coast works best.  Ft. Lauderdale has the most convenient suppliers for boat refits.  If I were to do it all over, the West Coast is where I'd be.

Mike

June I forgot your right on stuff available last spring I drove over to the east cost and bought a newer motor for my boat nothing to find over here.

Mike

what a nice day , I was working patterning but the local beac was full of snowbirds soaking up some sun before they leave soon I had a customer this week who decided to say for april also due to the cold weather at home for him


gene

70 degrees two days ago. Went down to 14 degrees last night.

I wish our liberal democratic congress persons would hurry up and institute man made global warming taxes so we can get our weather back to the way it was.

gene must have "willed" that weather up here. We've been melting for the better part of the week. Plus 6 or 41 above today, down to minus 2? or near 0 by tomorrow night, and not above freezing again till the end of next week.

Hang in there Darren spring around the corner.
I ised to go out behind the shop sere the  small river fed the lake  maybe 70' across a d with the help of the current break of large sections of pourus ice with a 2x4 and float them under the ice opening more water for april first salmon fishing.   I used to love it with the bait shop wed have fishermen shoulder to shoulder out back.   Then year by year less people. Even the derby turnouts diminished. To not a big deal at all crom me closing at 9pm opening at 4 am.
Now im down here.

I heard Canada has 2 seasons: winter and construction.

I told my wife I'm really looking forward to complaining about how hot it is.
