    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Great pics, thanks for sharing! One of the good things that many carry around a small computer these days (with a camera and, oh ya, a phone) is that there are so many pictures to share. This one on the Erie Canal a week or so ago

    Hidden horn diagnoses

    Thanks for the input (and funny pic). Off-topic is fine, it's all good info from you good people. ' I used to think I'd put an air horn on the boat - but there's so many other things to do... I have a hand-held air horn if I really need it - but have never had to use any horn on this boat in...

    Hidden horn diagnoses

    The little electric "hidden horn" on 1998 Wellcraft 240SE was weak when I got the boat about 7 yrs ago. Since last yr, no sound at all. Assuming the little horn reached end-of-life, bought a replacement Attwood horn for about $10. Before removing old horn, pulled wires, getting 12-volts...

    What is your winter weather like?

    I am a few miles NE of Buffalo, not enough snow, as usual. We should get some Saturday evening into Sunday (6, 9, 12, 15 inches??), then get a bit cold. My guess is 8-10 inches my house, over a foot south and NE of us. I like this area a lot, just wish we had more snow. I'm sure others...

    Cover question

    Many build frames from PVC pipe or wood for a cover, or secondary cover. We've also put a trailer-boat between 2 trees with it's mooring cover on, and hung a secondary cover (tarp) over it with steep sides to keep heavy snow loads off - wasn't pretty, but it worked.
