I'm winterizing.

Getting the dust off my dolphin calls and whale spotters.

Did it all myself for the first time this year....boat and SeaDoos.

Feels good to know it was all done correctly. Last year, we dodged a bullet when I discovered it was not completed properly by the marina that did it.

First time using an oil extractor and found it to be easier than I thought it may be....even got pretty lucky not spilling oil all over when removing the upside down oil filter...can someone explain why they designed it that way!?

Had a GREAT season and made lots more memories with family and friends. Although we will miss it much, it somehow seems even more special come spring when we get it all back out again.

For those of you year-rounders....we could sure use some pics over the cold months!

My first step to winterizing is done--



From 58 to 75 in 15 minutes flat!

Isn't that a bit close to the curtains there, FR?

Heck with the curtains, don't melt that TV!

Those fireplaces are really ---cool!

The only place that gets hot is the vents on top, above the flame. The heat goes OUT away from the front. The top only gets warm. The sides, back, even the grate right in front of the flame, all stay nice & cool. And it heats the place up like gangbusters!

Only issue is the condensation, which hasn't been a problem in the boat...
