Title: Is it April yet? Sigh……
Post by: Eagleye on November 23, 2012, 05:30:27 PM
This was a tough day.  I knew it was inevitable.  Today I prepped the Madame for her winter storage and dropped her off at the storage barn.  How do we cope?  Yes, I know she will be safe from the ravages of winter but I will still miss seeing her in the back yard.
:(

No, it isn't April yet! And covering the boat for winter is one sad time but there's always the famous "Winter to-do list". Is that your storage barn? Is it far from your house? There's always sailing magazines to help you get through the winter.

Bob,
  Our local lumberyard upgraded and moved into a new facility and sold the old buildings to someone who now rents out space.  It is about 10 miles from home so I do have some access but no heat.  As far as the "Winter to-do list", I think if I don't get to the "Admiral's to-do-list" there may be big trouble.   

We had a great summer weather wise.  Almost every weekend offered at least one good sailing day so many of the household projects were put on the back burner.  So now I must resign myself to get them done before I can focus on the Madame Z's list.  These girls require so much attention!  ;)

Thanks for listening to me whine...
How's the foot doing?

   Foots doing fine...minor non-displaced fracture so I'm back to work. Hurts a bit but I'm looking at 60 next year so a lot of the parts hurt a bit!
   I haven't even started my to-do list yet. Once I started storing the boat off site, I tended to do very little until spring. When I stored it in my back yard, I was up inside it many evenings..beats wasting time watching the boob tube!
   I also have the house to-do list...fun, fun!
