Prep Time

Spring break brings the weekend people back to their homes at the lake. There is work to be done before Easter, and there are extra hands home from school to help.

Al went out for his first jet ski ride of the season. It was a very short ride, basically checking that everything was working. The water temperature was 73 degrees, still pretty chilly. Our afternoon temperatures are consistently in the 80s now. The lake will warm up quickly.

The rest of Al's morning was spent beginning cleaning up the ski boat for the season. Saturday is boat cleaning day all through the season. Al spends Saturday morning washing and detailing the boats, happily listening to bluegrass or blues. He socializes with the boaters heading up and down the canal, and he pretty much has a grand little time doing what would otherwise be a chore.

We aren't skiing yet, but it is only a few brief weeks away now.
