Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

No ants seen at my camp either this weekend but as you said some flies started in the sunshine. Moved my firewood pile as it was stacked against the small camp and I am about to start jacking that. Went with my friend John and looked at some creative iron work to do on a big old fireplace that needs some TLC. Something to do in the spring perhaps. Island JOB for pay!!!
Skiff was on bottom as suspected again......put the 225 Hoss power bailer to work, then after we got all the supplies ashore, hauled it up on the ledge and let it dry overnight. Found a hull rupture, did some grinding and glassing thinking I had found the issue. Put it ovahboard yesterday when ready to leave and water was entering just as fast as before!!! Fortunately having it dry inside for once I spotted the culprit......a delamination just under the center seat. I'll repeat the process next trip out.....left plenty mat and resin out there. Reality is.....skiff is probably safer on bottom out there this tyme of year than afloat!!
Fired up the island 49sp and bucked up some dry apple I had and added that to the night time firewood pile and then went down of the shore a bucked up a cedar drift tree that had come ashore all wound up in cut off lobsta buoys and rope. Junked it into 2 foot pieces and limbed it so it would go away on the next tide and not pound on the camp or become entangled in muh outhaul....

File up some chains today, check bars for burrs and straightness, then go cut some long stems into firewood size chunks, bring a load of dry back with me. Its been stacked and drying for two years by now.

Only good thing I can think of about sticking out further into the Atlantic Ocean up here is we get less snow and it usually comes a good bit later. If we get it this time of year it melts off quick.

Yeah this isn't gonna stick around.............(he said hopefully).....don't know if it snowed on the island but sea temp is stihl in the 50's so if it did it won't be around long.......if it doesn't get replaced!! I'll know by this tyme tomorrow. Gonna be an interesting two-three weeks out there....

That squall that went through I took the pic of........the bride sent me a text and pic just after......she had walked the dogz up on the mountain where we live (earlier pic) and got caught in that squall up there.......higher altitude with not much to break the wind added to the pleasant sensation....I think that's what she said....LOLL!!!!
