Title: Still On It
Post by: Drifter_016 on Apr 29, 2019, 04:25 PM

This winter seems to be hanging on up here.
Still driving on the lakes. Next weekend may be the last for full size vehicle traffic and then it will be 4 wheeler time for a bit.
I'm currently working on getting my boat ready as it needs some serious TLC after owning it for 28 years. ;)
Have to pull the transom and replace the wood. Also have a spiffy new hydraulic steering system to replace the cable steering.
Still working on getting all of the water out of the main fuel tank after last summer's sinking.   :'(

Any who, here's some ice for your viewing pleasure.   
Yeah, we got more snow too.  ;D

At least when your on the ice you don't have to worry about "Will the anchor hold".
