I'm really sorry to hear that, Bmiller.  Pooka is by now dying to get her feet wet.

Bmiller, I go on the Winter Park website until spring is over just to see how the snow is doing.  Season closed on the 18th and they have another 13 inches of snow predicted for this week.

Meanwhile, down here, the Azaleas are in full bloom.  Temperatures in the high seventies, low eighties.  I'm working furiously to get all the boat projects done, paying for winter laziness.

Vail got 3 feet just before the last weekend. Over at Copper Mtn we got a foot or so just before we closed the mountain. Closing day is always pretty fun. Lots of very hard work but everybody is in a great mood. When we do the last sweep of the season the mountain is downright peaceful.

As for Pooka when she gets a replacement heat exchanger I'll start the diesel and see what else froze over the winter. The lake is still iced over right now anyway.

Bill,

I pulled the heat exchanger off yesterday and will try to get it in the mail this week..... Been up to my ears in re-wiring and getting the new Yanmar ready to "Fire-up".

Thanks Jim, I'm not trying to rush you. It's just one of many projects going on right now. If you're wiring now does that mean the drive train is all bolted up?
And while you're typing post some more photos!!!
