    Default Reservoir Frozen November 15th_What's you're puddle look like now?

    Here's a shot of where I run my boat. Got a tear in my eye taking this picture... from the cold, west wind in my face. Really.

    This was taken after work at 3:30, getting dark here in another hour...

    Northern Wisconsin. It's building season...

    This is from the other day. Unusually cool for Texas but warming back up. This is the time of year I start running more after months of oppressive heat.

    Yeah, we never get heat like that. Just six months of bad sledding. Nice runs, boat looks good...

    Thanks for the invite... Oh man, I read your bio. Texas, golf and RC. Sounds great! I took a winter golf trip there last year.

    Went to Houston, a stone's throw from Katy...

    Really not even ice in the eski keeping the beers cold?
    Even better here in New Zealand, we run year round, except we take a break over Christmas, New year. Racing that is, not testing/tuning. Boat building also goes on year round. And we have an awesome venue that by user agreement with the local council, is only used by our club. Except for dog walkers.

    Went out and ran a few packs down today. Low 30's with a few spots of ice along the edges. Probably the last and final run of the year for me. It was windy and i pushed harder than probably should have. It provided me a neat submarine style move to watch, but cost me a hatch & pair of batteries for the Outerlimits!

    PS if anyone knows where to find replacement hatches for the TFL/HK Outerlimits Lucas Oil Hull let me know.
