    Kurt, it’s going to be 40 some degrees tomorrow. Pool 4 is wide open and the fish are cooperating.

    Congrats on the new toy.

    So tempting but the paperwork is pending. That has never been a good risk to take from my experience. Wifey’s Christmas party 2nite that tends to get a lil’ out of hand so I’ll be layin’ low tomorrow… Need to unpack the trailer from last weeks trip to LOW.

    If you get to P4 good luck and share some of those nice pics you always take….

    Later – Kurt

    Congrats !!

    Your going to love it !!!! I know the feeling I bought my 1860 last November and had to look at all winter sitting in the garage, but it was well worth it come April..

    Looks good! Can I ask what made you switch from the tiller to a wheel boat?

    Oh, oh, now I’ll need to confess AGAIN! This is starting to feel like a frickin’ DAY of atonement! WTF???? Ok, my ultimate dream (come on Mega Million!) would be to have about 6 boat styles in the BIG garage (heated by the way). Couple tillers (small and BIG) and a variety of wheel boats. plus a few flat bottoms… dam, day dream ended….

    If the boat floats, it works for me!

    Historically speaking I think we’ll be on the OT ice come Jan. 6th. If I’m wrong, I’m OK with that… Winter is losing it’s thrill and my mind is drifting to our week in Cancun… Look forward to seeing you and tipping a couple!
