I was going to replace my side panels until I tried Plexus on them. It really cleaned them up nice.

I use a flitz buff ball on a drill with the flitz polish.

works pretty good. used it on my old boat and it brought back a nice clear finnish..
all my plastic was replaced in my camper canvas before I bought it and it still looks great so I just gave it a once over

Plexus is great stuff, I use it to clean up my motorcycle, eats the bugs right off the front with ease

Still cold!
Just checked the weather where the boat is stored for this coming weekend. Still a high of 34. WTF?
I want to get some waxing done before it comes out of the storage building in a couple weeks.
This is ridiculous!

I hear ya Jeff. We drove to our marina just last weekend (3 hour round trip) just to cut into our shrink wrap, take engine identification numbers off our engines to order correct tune up parts and try to figure out the best spot to add an additional group 31 size battery.

This coming weekend both days in our area appear to be rain free at this time, but again it is going to be a struggle to see if the temperature comes up enough to bottom paint? Might have to just drive down to remove shrink wrap to at least do something constructive.

Mike.

This weather is REALLY starting to urinate me off!!!!!

Eleven days ago, A bloody ice storm! Knocked the power out for almost 3 days. Trees and limbs down everywhere and it is still looking like a war zone. I've tallied up the cost of that storm to me to be about a grand.

A couple of days ago some towns way north of me got flooded sorry to say. The idiots that manage the water up here decided to divert that flood water into the Trent Severn waterway from these places that the water has already crested. FREAKIN BRILLIANT!!! Flood some more homes just so the people who got flooded can go home and see the damage.

The water is covering my yard now and in my crawl space. It's about 6 inches from the basement now. Spent the day prepairing the stuff down there to withstand 12 inches. Lowes in the morning for a new generac if the power decides to hoop me. Some pumps to keep ahead of it all. The municipality is delivering sand bags to my area tomorrow as well. I'm riding this out!!

PS. Mother Nature decided to empty her bladder on us, WAY more than forcasted.

John

Hang in there Winter Sux.
We had sunny and 68F yesterday then snow and 36F today. The weekend is supposed to be almost "normal", whatever that is. I'm going to the boat no matter what this weekend and starting the spring cleaning. I've had enough of this crap!

Good news is hopefully all this flooding will bring the levels in Lake Huron and Michigan up some.

I'd love it if they could divert all that water flooding the Mississippi river into lake Michigan. Just too bad it would have to go through Chicago and get polluted before reaching the lake.

They already reversed the Chicago river and opened the locks into the lake when we got all that rain last week to alleviate flooded. I can't wait to see what washes up on are beach now. Two summers ago I found a pistol grip for a .38 special that was nicely worn by sand and time...not sure I would like to know the history behind it

Spring has finally hit Michigan!

I loaded the truck full of boat stuff last night and am headed there after work today. Can't wait to FINALLY get started on my sping prep list. Woke up this morning thinking about getting on the boat. It's been a LONG 6 months.

Thanks to temps in the 50s-60s here on the Cape the past few days, the temp is finally starting to warm up in Nantucket Sound. Buoy in the middle, about half way from here to Nantucket, is 49.1F! Although the temp is cooler than normal at this point in the year. Let's hope this continued sunny and spring like weather continues!
