Looks great Quad!    The deck and patio are definitely my favorite places in the warmer months.  Hopefully we'll actually get some warm weather here soon!

My wife sold our beat-up patio set for $140 and bought a much newer set for $100.

I had to make two trips to fit all the stuff in my car, but it was worth it.

Put up a pergola a while ago. With the cool weather it hasn't been getting much use but the weather is improving we will be able to sit outside without out winter jackets on to stay warm.

If those chairs are plastic, chances are I made that mold.

I got my new ear plugs today.  Very nicely made.  They fit much smaller, much more comfortable than foam plugs.  I'll probably just use them for sleeping...I'd be worried about losing them at work or on the bike (they are very small).

They are gorgeous! So I went to price them out and fell off my chair!

Actually I was looking to see if they had the ultimate ear buds for my iPod that would stay in as well as produce the best sound. Didn't find a design that might work. Currently use Panasonic with a curved handle that goes over the ear to ensure they stay put, not too bad but nothing to write home about sound-wise.

You should look at getting some Comply foam replacement buds.  They are the shiznit!!

Looks great.  I hope this is the year I get around to adding eavestrough to my covered deck.  Then I can have it directed into a rain barrel, for the plants I have yet to plant!  Maybe I should have a BBQ, and get some free labor!

NICE!!! Mercruiser 5.0? 220hp, or 260hp?

^^Volvo-Penta 5.0, 220hp. Good guess!  Wish it was fuel injected, but after looking at many used boats, the majority aren't around here. Boat is a 2008 Regal 1900, and is in beauty shape especially considering the age. Railton, I'll try to remember to get some shots next time I have the cover off.

Picked up LG g6 for the wife today.  Dang ita gorgeous phone...

[BWII]

Damn nice boat!  Would love a boat.  River's right here...don't fish though and don't ski.  But I'd be happy to "drive" anyone who does.  I can learn to fish.

I think my Dad should sell his 19'.  It only gets used 1-2 a year.  He has many places close by he take it out.  But none of us really like boating, so not sure why he got it.

Nice! I too would love a boat. I really enjoy boating, and the culture around it is awesome here...especially in the big cottage areas; georgian bay, Simcoe, etc....Sand bar parties, lotta bikini's...yes please!
Mrs. Firm has a family cottage and her uncle has a nice relatively new 26'(I think) Scarab jet boat that we use when we go up...always a great time.

I'd love to get my own....I'd get a big ass 1980's Cigarette (run-down ones are very affordable), tidy it up and rock the heck out of it. Course....I don't have the time or space for anything like that

[bridgecity]

Couple more shots including the drive as per Railtons request. It could use a new/different prop. We're heading to the lake for four weeks in July so hoping to put quite a few hours on it. BWII, come up this way, I'll teach ya to fish.

With that motor & the stepped hull that should be a 50mph + boat. No problem getting up on 1 ski.
