Here we go again...

I was out working on the boat this morning, replacing the anchor light bulbs with LEDs. Pretty slick, and they will greatly reduce the draw on the batteries when at anchor. Here's a look at the naked LEDs, without the lens covering the fixture...


I was just closing up the boat when the next norther (cold front) blew in. The weather weasels predicted it, but it hit like a slap upside the head. It went from dead calm to dead calm with a slight mist to 45 mph winds out of the north! Biting winds. The temp dropped from around 72º to 45º... in about an hour. I was going to meet my friend, Herb, for some boat activity, but decided this would be a better afternoon to stay inside and take a nap. ;-)

Yeah, there's a freeze warning out for tonight. Utility companies are predicting even higher usage than last week (when there were rolling black outs). No freezing precip is predicted.
