Thanks!! Last week really got me excited for boating to start up.. but today made me remember where I live. I was working right next to Shaver Lake today and got snowed on ALL day. Coming back home I passed Bass Lake and saw it snowed there a little too. It'll be awhile before I make my first trip.

Had you brought this up a week ago, it would have been salt in a wound.  It had been sunny for two weeks and close to eighty degrees.  I finally mustered up the energy to get the boat ready and went out for the first time on Sunday.  See the link below...

...Thank goodness I did because by Sunday night was the start of another storm system that's still passing through.  I've definitely found myself spending much more time on the boards lately and noticed other people have been too.

The boating bug has bit again!

Snow and ice has been gone for weeks here in Pa, high 70's and sunny this weekend, The winter does not bother me till about March when it does start to get old, Actually I Love the change of seasons, I snow and water ski, snowmobile, quad, icefish, ice-skate and hunt but I guess my favorite is horseback riding in the snow on a full moon night, you can walk right up on deer and other wildlife.

Use to travel a lot when I was younger and I even spent a few months of my life living in Cal, OC, My Uncle lived there and I came and stayed with him a few weeks at a time several times in my life. And I also done Vegas 3 times gambling before it was legal in Pa, Trust Me, I'll take the snow for 4 months to play in instead of Your 4 months of deadly summer heat, Land slides when it does rain, wildfires every year, crime rate and high taxes and cost of living and stiff regulations on everything. What I'm saying is I been from coast to coast in U.S and Canada, Been to Mexico 3 times, and I'm quite Happy here in Pa.

I think this thread just jinxed me.. I woke up this morning with 3 inches of snow and its still coming. Im pretty low elevation, so nobody was expecting it. So much for rebuilding the boat seat today! Im sure Ill get bored since Im not working today and go snap some shots of the lake for you SoCal'ers to be happy about the heat. 

ive been going out since dec to the lakes anyway just couldnt touch the water lol
