In reference to the previous weather forecast: There are those of us that would KILL for such lovely heat :prayer

I'd be out in my shorts, tanning, beer in hand, dancing girls on the foredeck with their parkas unzipped and everything!! :biggrin2

This has been one of the mildest Winters I can remember. I have only worn long pants less than ten days and wear shorts to work all the time. Yesterday temps around mid Florida we're in the high eighties and low nineties. BMR would love it here when he moves down.

Then it rains and gets cold, but our problem is it gets to hot and stays that way for a long time and we have to put up with snowbirds every winter

Heading down Saturday to finish demo 40 % chance of scattered showers but I don't care! Hopefully get all the wood off, the bolts cut and the old tar tape off the joists. I know it is 8 days out but next Saturday looks to be in 70's maybe new wood and carpet.... :alright

I getting withdrawal from not working on the toon, but work got in the way, then always the same time I have to work late nights for 8 to 9 days a month, I get bunch of day time work to do at the same time, nothing like going to bed on 5 am and getting a call at 9am with an emergency call.

But I will get it done and then back to work on the pontoon, it's been to cold to paint this week anyway, but got to get back at it to keep the pressure on Craig or he never get done :rofl :rofl :rofl
