    Fall Colors....

    Re: Fall Colors.... I was up in the Winneconne area this last weekend, and the colors were quite a bit better. I think this was our last outing for the year. Next weekend we're going to start cleaning up/out and then have the marina pull her out of the water next week. :grumpy:

    Fall Colors....

    Re: Fall Colors.... The fall colors have been pretty disappointing this year. Shot this coming out of Fremont, WI on the Wolf River Sept 29. As you can see, not a lot of color.

    Favorite Pics - Post 'Em

    Re: Favorite Pics - Post 'Em We all seem to love our sunsets/rises don't we? How about a big (65 boats) raft up to listen to a band at the sandbar. We provided the generator to power the band. A nice quiet post-Labor day at the sandbar. Ended up just staying on the hook overnight. Not to...

    Oh yeah. I waxed the arch.

    So on Friday the 5th, we get back to the dock and I go up on the bow to plug in the skore power. Coming back down the side of the boat (no walk through windshield) I grab the arch to step down the 3ft or so to the dock, like I've done a hundred times before, and find myself falling through the...
