We did the normal Kansas jump from winter to Summer - forgetting about spring. Supposed to hit 90 today - that is ridiculous! I hate summer!!!!! Maybe I need to head up to Alaska.

I am one of those waiting. We got about 8 or 9 inches in the past 2 days. It was just getting to the point where I could drive the truck out from it's wintery grave, and then we get this. Oh well, hopefully in another week it will be gone again.

Sunday I could still see the outline of my ice rink as the south wind started blowing it north. Tuesday I put in three sections of dock and helped the neighbor kid land a 20" bass off it. Boat lift goes in Saturday. New boat is at the dealer waiting for me for Monday.

Runs well... working on body.
Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.
