Fall Boat Blues

[rsmitty814]

Like the title says.....I bought a boat late in the year, real late. One of those I don't want to winterize and store so sell it cheap deals. I have been working on it for about 3 wks. Now I have winterized it and have it ready to go next season. I turned 60 this year and I don't recognize my reflection in the mirror. It's only Sept. and I have a mild case of winter depression. How am I going to last. Boat show not until March I think. UGH.:facepalm:

Like a lot of us do, go out and sit in it ever now and then, or putter around making improvements, try to resist making motor noises, lol

Avoid the mirrors and Jack Daniels is your friend.

Re: Fall Boat Blues

Never thought of booze. Funny story....was in my youth quite the hell raiser. Smoked and drank like there was no tommorrow. Then kids came along and I gave up boozing and smoking to create a holsome atmosphere and I guess, good example. Well my son smokes and drinks and my daughter turned 21 and long story short I started drinking again. Oh well...best intentions.

Yeh, it's a bit confusing. Came south to avoid the winter blues so now its something like the doldrums to deal with. I guess they're right when "they" say, you can't escape what you bring with you.

Re: Fall Boat Blues

If there is no ice on the water, what's the issue.

GO LAUNCH IT!!!!

(all you have to do is drain the water from the block, oils still good)
