Was planning to wax & prep for the season but now bad weather seems to be coming back into the forecast. We can't win here in the Midwest.

Hope to spend most of the weekend on the boat. It is already in the water. Saturday will be cleaning, putting all the supplies back on board, etc. Sunday will be a few short shakedown runs to make sure everything is running ok.

Weather is finally supposed to be nice here. We just had a month's worth of rain (about 3.5 to 4 inches) in a day and a half. We are still very lucky that it was not severe weather, just some localized flooding.

I came up north to our cottage yesterday to get things ready for the weekend. I pulled the boat up here for her second time since new, and she is ready to go... Weather is planning to be nice, FINALLY! Friends and family are all coming up, so plenty of boating, grilling, fires around the fire pit, and some adult beverages and such. Im looking forward to being off work and being up north on the lake until next week. Be safe and have fun, I know I will!!!

We have been so busy lately and more to come next weekend. Our daughter graduated from high school tonite, and we have my niece's wedding next Saturday, and graduation open house on Sunday. But this weekend, we will be on the boat. It will be nice to relax between these busy schedules. Weather looks to be great for Memorial Day weekend, so we are going to enjoy it to the fullest. I hope you all have a safe weekend and get out on the water !

Probably just hang around the house. Lanier gets so busy this weekend, really not worth getting my dentures and boat beat to death.
Got a big week-long beach trip in two weeks, The boats almost ready, 10 or 12 more smallish things to do.

I haven't even pulled the boat out of the barn yet this year. :cry:

I'm hoping to at least get it out of the barn this weekend and start it up. If the weather holds, we may put it in a local lake Sunday or Monday.

Our boat is still under the shrink wrap, forcast is cold and wet for the weekend. Will be a few more weeks before I even think about the boat.
May have to work Sat, go for a bike ride sunday if the weather breaks for a bit, Race track (motorcycle) on Monday if its not raining too bad.

Never been out to the track yet.

Yacht club tomorrow night to have dinner in celebration of daughter's 5th grade graduation (and mourn her entering middle school) and then the wife will leave me and two of my daughters on the boat for the weekend so they can play and I can continue polishing and preping. The wife and other two kids will come up on Sunday afternoon (after stopping off at JD's BBQ) and then we will take the boat out all day. Summer is here.

Still too cold (and windy) here in Colorado. Might have an opportunity on Monday, but doubtful. More rain in the forecast.

It's a holiday weekend over here as well. Unfortunatley I've just started recovery from a heart attack I had last Saturday, so no boating for me for a few weeks! :( Have a good one.
