Much boating activity on this warmer than average October weekend.

Saturday we went waterskiing! Air temperature 67, water temperature 58. My crazy neighbor did this without a wetsuit.

Sunday we thought about going waterskiing again, but the neighbor wasn't going to be home until 2:30, and I wanted to haul the boat and get it winterized, and I did not want to start so late. As it was, we got going with the hauling process at 1:30, and it took until just after 6 to complete the winterizing and putting to bed. My exercise today was walking up and down the driveway and back and forth from the boat to the house and so forth. And holding things at awkward angles for a minute or two here and there. There are just a lot of steps, especially involving cleanup of all the oily bits. It is our only internal combustion engine anymore. So there's about a gallon of gasoline left in the tank, and I think I need to wish it on the neighbor, because he still has gasoline cars. I will deal with that sometime this week probably, siphoning into a Jerry can so it can be put into a car.

Sailboat is still in the water, and the entire dock is still in the water. More to do!

Today we used our whole house fan to heat the house: it was 75 outside, and 65 inside. Might do it again tomorrow, when the same situation will obtain.
