SO........Will I need to plow my drive when I get to the cottage Friday evening?  Haven't been there in three weeks.  Was bare, when I left (the drive way was bare, not me).

I've done that plank walk before.  Think I'll pass.  Plan on spending most of the weekend puttsing in the garage, making room to get the boat out of storage.  Oh ya, I'll be watching some Basketball also.  GO GREEN!  GO WHITE!

We bought a 'toon last year.  It's a great ride.  We took delivery May 15th, I think and will probably be later than that this year, for putting it in.  I'll have the fishing boat in several times, before Memorial Day, I hope.  Where are you looking for Pontoons?  We bought a Premier/Mercury from Spicers.  Highly recommend it.  Very nice boat.

Hey Rick: You shouldnt have to plow, most of it is gone after that rain wed nite, Ice dont look the best either, getting black too.  The only snow is from piles I blew up or was plowed. Good luck Steve and be safe.  Get a nice big toon eh???????

Good morning Steve.  Sent you a PM.  We'll be around all weekend, except for a visit with family at the Comfort Inn.  Give me a call and we can get together.
