Thanks SuperJet! We have had the place for 8 years now. Was funny, after about 3 years of going to the lake and working on the house, we got into the car to come home and it hit us...we were done working on the place!! All we had to do now was just come down and enjoy the place. Was a little strange at first, felt like I should be doing something. I still find things to do from time to time but for the most part we just sit back and enjoy! Now I have a new project...MOD's!!

Amen to bringing spring on. It is starting to turn here. About 30% of our local trees go bare in the winter months. They have begun to bud and sprout leaves. There are some white flowers on other trees. The mid-day temps are supposed to begin hitting the low 70's next week.

When it hits the high 70's I'll take the boat out for the first time of the year.

High 70's? our last trip of the year was around 60 degrees. There will be plenty of boating done before high 70's. Us Midwest people can't wait that long.

It's just what you're used to. Our winter high temps are high 40's to low 70's with the mean about 50-55 degrees. Spring and fall is 70's and 80's, summer is 95-110 but very dry. So even 60 seems quite cold to us. To me there's nothing better than being on the water when it is over 100 degrees. Those who live in high humidity won't understand because at those temps it isn't fun at all. But with 5-10% humidity it is great.

We could get the boat out just about anytime. The local fishermen go pretty much every day. It just isn't any fun when it is too cool.

That's the way it is. I grew up in Rochester NY and when it reached 50 we'd go out without coats.

@jdonalds ...I know what you mean. When it gets nice here, 50 in the winter, the truck window comes down and the music goes up!!
