We survived ok.No snow here,but 5-6" of rain.Took a ride down through the beach last night at about 7pm...not good.Sidewalks and streets washed out,broken windows etc.There was sand,rocks,and driftwood 1 block deep off the beach.I haven't seen the ocean that mad in a long time.

Hey Mike, I hope you lake isn't flooded like last year. What a mess that storm was!
John, you guys are used to challenging weather in the south. Us northerners get a little twisted over stuff like this. The good news is the lake levels are higher, so less fear of dinging props. Ken |

You guys aint got nothing that beats an Ohio spring, you guys forgot the word anticipation, except when it comes to beers.
Elephants when there growing old and cant keep up with the herd start to head to the burial grounds, any connection? big time lol, you guys know im kidding though. Eric |

I have a long lasting impression of Ohio. In May of 2004, my wife and I drove from Massachusetts to Streetsboro, OH. I bought a boat from Ron's Marine that JBear is slightly familiar with
 . Anyway, after the test drive, the sky turned BLACK and lightning like I've never seen kicked in. Rain, high winds, etc. The next morning on our drive back to Mass, there was a tornado watch and it was a nasty drive to the PA boarder. It was like the Wizard of Oz in Ohio.

It's snowed 3 times since I got the boat out of storage. Maybe I should put it back in.
Reidp- thanks for the invite- that's very generous of you. I was just down in FL for a very short Easter weekend. Next time I'm down there, I'll try to hook up with some of the FL fans One good thing about all this rain- the lakes levles are rising quickly -Brad |

I like your positive attitude, Brad. Let the water levels rise. I'm counting the days until Lost Lake season. We'll give my boat some water-time this year.

One of my wife's employees has a camp near the end of the lake by the dam.She says camps at that end are starting to take on water.The Mousam river is supposedly flowing over it's banks.They may not have power for 2 weeks at their house.I have not been up there....JEFF KOSTIS can you verify this?
I cannot handle another spring like last year. Mike |

Mike; Please grab JEFF and head south for a visit. I think JEFF will tell ya that you'll have a great time.
Ken; "A little familiar with"!!!!! You gotta love that Ohio Spring-time weather. Wait 10m and it'll change. Of course, maybe the sky turned black after your test ride 'cause the gods knew how much trouble you'd have if you bought that boat. Heres hoping you don't ding your prop this season! john |

I'm actually having my boat blessed by the church this spring. Plus I'm going to name it too. I'm hoping the higher power flushes away all the bad and allows the best summer ever. Say a prayer for me, John! Ken |

Mike- Hope you guys survive the high water this spring. Our lake is full already and the boards have only been in the dam for 1 week. That's 3.5 feet in 1 week- pretty crazy.
If I can get my butt in gear this weekend to summerize the 86er we could be skiing by Monday. |

Mike: Hope your wife and kids are enjoying themselves. It is a little on the cool side here now. I am gonna hold ya to that "next year" visit. Maybe you can look at my bike while you are here. Hope the new business is good. And not keeping you as busy as JEFF. I never hardly hear from him anymore.
Ken: I think you know you and Patricia are always in my prayers. Not just for a good summer either. john |

Myrtle Beach for April vacation = Ahhhhhhh
As much as I like the N.E., I gotta admit that changing the lattitude definetly changes the attitude! You'all Southerners just might be on to something! (At least Nov thru May . )

We are in the mid 70's in Northern VA water is a little cold. Nothing a full 3/2 wetsuit won't cure.
No boating this weekend up to Wildwood NJ with some friends. Everybody have a safe weekend
