4/23/11 SNOW, AND NEW BOATS

'TWAS JUST A GARDEN IN THE...SNOW?

BIG BROTHER

LITTLE BROTHER

Saturday, 8:30 AM.  34 degrees, wind WNW, very light.  It snowed about a half an inch last night and a flake or two are still drifting down.  The channel is foggy and the sky is gray and overcast.  The barometer predicts additional precipitation.  Lucky is better this morning and I took him for a walk of several blocks but did not want to push it.  I have concluded that his attacks, for that is what the are, are triggered by a rapidly falling barometer.
    I had a business appointment in Cornucopia, yesterday afternoon so we ate fish fry at the Village Inn, where we haven’t been for quite a while, and it was excellent as always.
    The spring yard work is about 75% done but won’t likely be completed until the weather gets a bit better.
    The Coast Guard station has a couple of new patrol boats, one a 35 foot brute.  The new boats have enclosed cabins, a great improvement over the open Zodiacs, which I am sure were fun, but very rough riding and  the Guardians would get soaked and frozen.  I will try to wrangle a ride or at least a tour.
