The Week Ahead. It’s Okay, Woody Boater May Stop For A Bit

Here in Virginia, it’s going to be 80 tomorrow. And in some sort of cruel joke, I have to be in the office earning a living. WHAT? Hey, gotta make the doughnuts. And sometimes the weather and my real job don’t get along. With all that said, and yes, I am happy to have a job, and absolutely love what I do.

 The new Website is very close, and runs like a top. But the over 55 Gigs of information and history will need to be moved over to the new site, and then tweaked. A LOT while live. So it is possible that over the weekend, the site will be down. YES. I know, no doubt many of you will just be looking at a blank screen. But it will be worth it. I am thrilled with the new “feel” and for those that hate change, the design is such that it will be the same, but with a new, feeling.

A huge thanks to Scott Sawyer and Bill Basler who have been at this for a while, and slugged through all the old wires. STAY TUNED and hopefully some will be able to go boating for a day tomorrow before winter reminds us that it’s in charge this time of year.

    You will no longer live on the trailing edge of technology anymore.

    Do you think we were able to convince the guy yesterday to not scrap the Flyer?
    So far the weather in Detroit is nothing, after 2 days of hype about a huge ice storm. I might as well go into the office.
    I pulled the cover off of Happy Ours over the weekend to show my future daughter in law. They’re getting married in August at a local marina and wants to arrive at the dockside ceremony in her! This should be fun…

    Looks like winter is returning in Michigan. I went to the U P last weekend to go Snowmobiling. Never thought I would see bare ground at St Ignace in Feb. We did get some riding in, but not perfect conditions. 38 on Sunday. So they got 6″ on Tuesday after we left. Now it’s 14 degrees. You Michiganders can handle the ice and snow thats coming. We can handle no woody boater for a day or two. We will have a lot to comment on when you open back up Matt.

    Change? Not the kind in your pocket, most of us don’t do that anymore either. Sometimes I think there are two kinds of people, those who don’t like change, and those of us who have had to endure it forced on us. Interestingly enough, at its end, for me it has always turned out to be better, grasshopper.
    Thank you Matt, it is something to look forward too!

    Hey Matt, Please don’t allow the boys to add spell check to the new platform. Part of the fun of reading WB is trying to figure out what you tried to type. Snowing in Minnesota..
