3rd Wednesday in a row for our Bow Lake Mens Dinner Club. Weather was supposed to rain but we started with "filtered sun" ended up with glass and blue sky - but it was quite a bit colder this week - resorted to my neoprene hood for the second set.

With every night below freezing for the last two weeks or so until last night I was in the water today to give the big yellow dog a bath. I had waders on and my hands were numb in a very short time. We are getting some nice days this week so I have hope! I wont even get a chance to look at my docks and lifts before Tuesday next week. The docks are somewhat in but not finished. I thought I might be in trouble about two weeks ago as our lake closed back up (ICE) nights in the single diets.   This is a bad start!

spent two hours in a drysuit tuesday planting the course.  that's such a good feeling to see those balls up again.

one each bf and slalom run yesterday.  can't believe it has been a month since the last sets.  sun really warmed the pond up since tuesday.

forecast says the wind is going to trash the lake today/friday; hoping for the weekend.  

15 day forecast says we don't worry about freezing again but, given we are in michigan gotta take that w a grain of salt.

I finally got out yesterday.  Water wasn't bad with a 3/2 wetsuit considering last 2 weekends we had snow.  Turning 60 next month I can tell I need to get in better shape and round doesn't count.

I didn't get "out", but I did get "in" over the weekend with the show ski team.  28 lifts and 25 docks Saturday, 3 lifts on Sunday.  Water in the 50's, used the bottom half of my divers suit.  I am bruised, sunburned, and stiff today....exactly how a Monday morning should start!

I am much closer. I got my lift and docks in today. The next week looks bad, a lot of rain and mid 50's for hi temps. And at least one night under freezing. So far this spring $uck$!

I know, I am late to the show again! This last month has been a small setback for me. Had another tumor removed April 1. The night before I went in for surgery I got a call from my brother. He was in the hospital with a large blood clot in the lung and a small on in the other lung. So both of us are doing well now. My ski partners wife had a hole open up in her hart. She died on the table but thank god the surgeon brought her back. This just has been a piss poor start. And well mother nature has been a big downer. Our lake opened and close three times. I have never seen the lake freeze over once it opened. I am in  for some nice weather!

Tuesday and Wednesday low's are at freezing and below so don't think I will rush this week.

Weather sucks around here as well.  We had some good temps a week ago but always windy.  Looks like rainy and 50's for the next week at least.

Agreed on the w/e.  Rain by 2 and biting ENE winds today - I'll be lucky to get in a mow.  Dreary and cold tomorrow.  But as @ahopkinsTXi said better days are ahead. and I pickup the boat next w/e!

Got out for some lunch time runs today. Not the best, windy water still @ 54 air  57. Still not so good run's are better then no runs. This time of year its good to get the arms and back ski time!
