Boating in November...???

Well, it was 70* degrees yesterday when I woke up at 11:30 AM (I had worked 12 hours nonstop the day before, zip it), and decided it would be a perfect day to go boating.



The first two my brother took, he's not very good at taking pictures if you couldn't tell...

I know I'm going to hell for this, but chop the (top) head off this statue of Our Lady of the Rivers, and what do you think it looks like???


I also fixed this problem with my boat trailer:

Don't have any pics of the finished product yet...

This looks like what WAS in it...


It's my neighbors hangar, there was a fully restored South African T-6 Texan similar to the one in the pic, but he sold that a few months ago. I moved my boat out today due to the fact that on Thursday he might be bringing home a twin engine Beechcraft Barron
