Snow & Cold. What Else Is New?????

SHIP'S LOG:

     It appears that the snow is not over for this week! It is forecast, take that how you please, that more is on the way this afternoon and that there will be more on Sunday night. True, they don't forecast much but then again, it is NOAA doing the forecasting!

     Whether the snow comes or not, the cold is definitely here to stay, at least for the next few days. It is a bad thing when you check the temp and see it hovering at 22 degrees and you first thought is that it is warmer than yesterday! And on top of all this, the flu season is in full swing. People are dropping like flies with it this year. It seems particularly nasty. Unfortunately there is nothing that you can do with it or for it if you get it. If you didn't get a flu shot, the odds are not in your favor of being spared an attack. Luckily, I bent to the pressure of my doctor and got a shot and so while I may get another cold ( I had a 48 incident back in early January), I won't be getting the flu.

     There is not much in the way of boating things happening, though beginning in February, things will slowly get underway. I really do have to sort out all that stuff that is in Russ' basement to determine what goes back aboard and what does not. I'll also have to get about reconditioning all my tools as well. Saltwater/salt air really do make a mess of things and can cause some serious damage, even beyond the complete protection of WD-40.  But right now that is a whole week away.

     Though I hate to say it, I really do hope ABISHAG sells. I really like the boat but it is more boat than I need anymore. As with all things boating, the bigger the boat, the more expensive everything that has to do with it is. If I do sell her, I will buy a small craft because I need a place to live from May through October. Actually, I wish it would happen as I hate living in this in-between state.
