Aww yes,
The time of year when the sun rises a little earlier, the days are longer, flowers are blooming, the lawn needs mowing,
And the sounds of overheating motors start to fill the air.....

Then let us not forget the,

I forgot the battery in the basement on the charger, and found out at the ramp people,

I bought a giant boat over the winter that my Honda SUV cant pull up the ramp people.

Where is the plug people.

And my favorite:
I swore we left the key in the boat last year people.

I probably wont get out until June, (racecars and all) but I do enjoy heading out to the local ramp on the first good day just to watch the site's.

Feel free to add your own "people" to the list.

I saw 4 young adults out on the lake early last season boat engulfed in steam, by the time got them towed in the water was up into their ski locker and the bilge pump wasn't working either, definately a cracked block.
I remember one guy laughing at the capatain of the boat being panic stricken, I wanted to come over and slap him.
They were very lucky help arrived, it was early enough that hypothermia would have been an issue, they would have sunk had I not happened to see the steam.
Yes it is getting close to that time of the year again, I especially like to conciously prepare to save somebody, and it never fails, happens every year, I look for it.
