    Default Any Northerners on the water yet?

    So.........here I am just south of Edmonton and I wanted to haul the boat out and going waterskiing tomorrow for the first time this year. Well had two slaps....one from mother nature as weather SUCKS and one from my wife who said there is NO WAY she was going to put on a winter jacket and mitts just to haul my sorry a** around a lake for 1/2 hour while she probably catches a cold from wind chill.

    Well I was shocked! Not at mother nature but at my wife..........WTH this coming from the same girl who willingly gets up in the summer to yard my a** around a lake at 6 in the morning. SO I had to confront her with that exact reality. And she told me she would if she could afford to be sick and still get to work. But when you work with seniors and other who can't be exposed to your sickness's no matter how small they seem to us I had to accept! At least she's still willing to get up early in the morning for me! :d

    Just wondering if anyone else up north is on the water yet? I know my dad called me to tell me he has seen skier's in teh Okanagan already!!!!

    The weather here was nice enough over the last few weeks to get out. Hit 85 a couple days. Problem is it hits mid week, been slammed at work and can't take time off, and even if I could I'd be hard pressed to find somebody to go this early given water temps. Wife wouldn't for sure as we have 3 kiddo's with 2 in school.
    I need a neighbor to move in next door who has the same obsession

    I'd love to go as well ,but my usuall lake is an irrigation lake(controlled so likely is not full yet). I've definetely got the itch to get out. In the mean time my boat is getting final stereo and battery upgrades done as i wait.Then Dewinterize ,clean shine and ready to go. Must be really killin you ,to get out and try the new Ski?

    As for wife driving in coat etc,my wife has become very fairweather as well,luckily i have a couple friends with the itch as well,but reminds me of the evening we took purchase and watertested out boat. It was nearly a full on blizzard,but we went anyways... Dealer was swamped and said if we waited it might be 2 weeks to get a reschedule so out we went and the rest is MOOMBA history.

    This Saturday, our6 inch snow fall gave us enough water in the canal to safely get the boat to the hoist. Then I can do the break in on those 80 plus days . Yippee. Can't wait to hear new system.

    My dock has been in the water since March 20 in Western Wisconsin. But the boat is still dry-docked. We are anticipating 29 and snow on Saturday so glad to not have de-winterized yet.

    I was hoping for this weekend, but I still got some work to do on the boat. Putting the drivers seat back in being one of them. And I got to get started replacing a section of fence. Maybe I'll make the May pictures thread.

    The temperatures got into the low 90s earlier in the week but I spent the last three days plucking people out of the water with hypothermia with Dive Rescue. We recovered a stolen SUV this morning and the air was 66 degrees at 2AM so summer is in the air. I don't get my boat out until mid June or July.
