Cabin Fever

Anybody else out there getting cabin fever? I finished all my winter projects, and now I feel like a caged animal. Anybody have any good ideas on how to remedy this? I keep looking at a 94 Mazda B2000 that has been sitting for atleast two years. If I can catch a good deal. It would give me something to play with. Wadda think.

Sounds good if the price is right.

Take a drive out to the east end, or maybe take the ferry over to Shelter Island and see what's going on.

Nice thought Bdox; The east end pulls in the sidewalks very early this time of year and many places are not even open. Plus it's gawd dang cold out there.

No traffic problems though. And this is the only time of year you can get good prices on fresh fish. I like the place best when there are so few people.

There used to be a little clam bar on the board walk to the ocean side that I loved. Gossmans dock is too expensive. Are you from Long Island or Coast Guard?

Just an occasional visitor, but I love that place. I have a cousin who has a house out on Shelter Island that he just built and he used to have one in east Hampton. So we visit him from time to time. We drive his Wrangler on the beach and go windsurfing. And get fresh fish from the "fish farm."
