Maybe, you could ride that water heater like a boat down that "river". What a mess, I feel your pain. This part of Oregon seems to have missed the winter floods, but theres still time.

I have a bad case of winter blues. I want spring to come right now. BUT as I write this it is 62* outside right now. yesterday it was 30*. So I suppose I cant complain. Although I should be outside instead of in here of the computer.

Very cool (cold??), I just have this thing about going boating when it's too cold to go in the water, at least you don't have to worry about your beer getting warm!

No we sure didn't, didnt take any ICE either hehe

Altho relatively speaking it was aweful warm that day(for January), about 14C or 57 F

Either way we had a blast, was great to be in the boat!

Seem to recall passing thru NV just after new years and it was far from warm!
