I'm Melting! What A World, What A World!

SHIP'S LOG:

     Yes, Dorothy, the snow is melting.  I was beginning to wonder if it was going to happen or not, ever! The temp actually reached 60 and rain helped too. It is difficult to say how much snow has been converted to melt, but after today and tomorrow, it should be significant. That's a god thing because the temps are supposed to dip beginning next week and there is the possibility of some more snow. Sigh.

     The DEFENDER INDUSTRIES catalog  made it appearance an with it a notice that their March Madness Marine Sale is on and is on March 3rd. It make the old Filene's Wedding Gown Sale look tame by comparison. I will have to try to pick up at least the bottom paint as they really cut the price of that obscenely expensive item. Of the last two decades the EPA had kept requiring paint manufactures to change the composition of their paint. Not more lead, no more tin, less (and soon no) copper.  The reason is that they have "discovered" that marine bottom paint kills the marine growth and the creatures that attempt to attach themselves to boat hulls. I don't wish to bust their balloon but that actually is the intent of the stuff in the first place. Sigh.
