> The weather here has been a virtual roller coaster ride. This past Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial beginning of summer and I always try to get wet if possible. I had to work on Saturday, but the temperature was about 80. I took a change of clothes with me to work and got out about 1:30 PM, changed and headed to the lake. I wore mostly new stuff - new black boots, new indigo 501s, black belt, new plaid shirt (blue,black, white pattern). Also had on a black cowboy hat and the black coat I wore to the Into the Mud Challenge last month. When I got to the lake there were quite a few people in swimming. There were lots of boat trailers in the parking lot, but not too many people unloading. I waded out so that the water flowed into my boots - still chilly, but bearable. I perched on top of my favorite rock and waited to see what happened. No one really needed my assistance, which was disappointing, until finally an older man and two women pulled in. The man backed the boat trailer in while the two women stood on the dock with ropes secured to the boat to pull it off the trailer and tie it to the dock. Fortunately, for me, they had forgotten to unhook the metal clip at the bow of the boat and as they pulled it off the trailer the ribbon like webb material on the trailer winch kept unwinding as the boat began to float off the trailer. LevilovR to the rescue. I waded out, the cold water again filling my boots and penetrating the denim of my jeans. I unhooked the clip on the bow of the boat, rewound the webbing onto the winch and signaled for the man to go ahead and pull the trailer out. Not much, but a start. Since my assistance wasn't really needed I decided to head for the river. Quite a few people fishing, but I headed for my favorite rock where I totally submerged myself. The water was freezing, but I dunked myself a couple more times before getting into the car and heading home for a nice hot shower in all my clothes. Sunday was wet, rainy, cool and nasty so I di work around the house. Monday morning it rained, but cleared off around noon and became quite nice. I headed back to the lake, wearing the same black boots, hat and coat. Wore another new pair of 501s and a blue denim shirt. Things were pretty quiet, most of the tourists were heading home and activity at the boat ramp was practically nil. A few people came to the beach and a few boats headed out as the day wore on and the afternoon improved. Eventually I went over to the far side of the boat ramp away from the beach where there is a small cove. The wind picked up and some small waves started forming. Sat down on a rock and let the waves wash up over my boots and jeans. Gradually slid down into the water letting the waves hit my stomach, chest and up to my neck until I was soaked. Then back to the car and home for another clothed shower. Not as great as I had hoped, but a start. Another warm day predicted for tomorrow, which I believe I am supposed to have off from work. Will see what happens. Got a wedding coming up in two weeks and will be staying at a hotel. Hopefully something will happen at the pool. Will let you know if any thing happens.
