Yeah, that is not good. However, here in Vancouver, WA, the weather was pretty nice for February. Sunnay and 56! A friend and took the RIB out to a small lake for some fishing. No fish, but no problems either for the first time out this year.

Sorry, no pics. I plan to get out again within the next couple of weeks.

Cheers!

WOW now I really feel like a wimp I didn’t take the boat out last weekend because it was going to be to cold…..mid 40’s. This is one of the things I love about being in the PNW I’ve only missed 6 weekends so far this winter and only 2 of those is because of weather.

OK, that's a lie... It's a highway in Labrador, supposedly

†he times they are a changin....

Well gentlemen, we have had 3 days of continuous sunshine here in O-Hi-O, this is very good in March. The daytime temperatures have been in the twenties but it looks like a warming trend is dead ahead. Ah blessed Spring, C'mon down! How about some reports from our associates out there? Good things starting to happen yet?
