NICE! I had a feeling it was going to be yesterday. Too bad I didn't have that feeling back in February when I submitted my guess!

If we get enough boats going, we'll produce a good boat chop, smash the remaining drifts together hard, and turn them into chips!

The water temperature hit 40 degrees today. I wonder why 40 degrees wasn't the magic number this year as it has been in the past? Not that I am complaining!

I know that I am out numbered here, was kinda hoping for an early wintereconomicexiteme (new word). A Quote from FLL's Dictionary.

Hey, we're gett'in there!
