And fellas, we had some excellent days. The surprise days when it stayed nice and the temps rose, we got to stay longer. Where I now live the temps usually stay pretty good, but the wind gives me a hard time much more than when I had my bass boat. It fought the wind very well. The flat bottoms I now have send me home early a lot, or keep me home period. I’ve done some hard work in my life and Arthur is popping up here and there but mostly manageable. That will progress and I’ll be in the same boat as you guys. And just to clarify, given the choice I’d be dealing with lower temps just like y’all. My butt may be in Florida but my heart is in Tennessee. I miss it every day.
