Florida is nice to visit but you`d have to pay me to live there year round.

Yea, I'm happy, can't be happy for anyone huh, here's some reminders what you've got coming up, some nice Chitown pics of the last few winters, have a great time when I'm boating this winter.

I also included a little weather report, have a great day...................

I would never own a house any further North than LOTO ever again and even that one will only be used the four Summer months......................sorry, I didn't mean to annoy you or anyone, stuff that bothers me I just don't open or read, but that's me.

BTW, where's Colorado,........................and I bet when you're able to you'll be looking down here too, just trying the help a brother out.

Perfect snowmobiling weather

I love the fact that I am excited about boating come spring, afraid I might lose that if I had access all year......I also would probably spend my retirement trying to boat all year!

Right now I am excited about snowmobiling, come Feb I will hate the snow and want to be boating again. Trip somewhere warm in April to get the blood flowing, come home and take the boat out of storage and start the cycle again.

The best part about snowmobiling is listening to people complain about gas prices and filling 10 gallon snowmobile fuel tanks.....they have no idea. For me, fun is on sale for the winter

I do understand that, my Niece is going to college in Colorado and say's she'll never move back to Missouri, she loves the snow and all the sports that go with it..............................me on the other hand have had my fill of it, after living in the Midwest for 55 years, I've shoveled and driven in enough ice and snow for the rest of my life, where I appreciate that some like winter, I'm not a big fan anymore, that's what makes the world go around and hope everyone has a great winter no matter where it is.

I live in Wildomar but boat out of Dana Point. For what I paid for my house on a one acre lot wouldn't even be a down payment in Dana!

I actually prefer winter boating as mid summer here we get the friggin' June gloom and it's foggy a lot. Winters are nice a clear especially a day after a winter storm (light rain for most of you) and there are nice 3 to 5 foot rollers to jump.
