Yes, spring is coming.  The time for planning big deck parties is now.  However I first need to clean house.  In the literal sense and in most others.  Toss the crap I no longer need.  Toss the stuff I never use.  Toss the new stuff I never opened.   And of course when I finish that, get some new stuff!

I am looking forward to my 1st full summer with a boating license.  Cod is one of my favorite fish, yet it is one of the local fish I have never actually caught.  So I need to cross that off the to-catch list.   Hopefully my friends will trust me enough to let me take them out on the boat!
