With gas cheap, i'm running everything all the time, inboards, outboards, motobike, mower, blower, chainsaw, yeeehaw. My carbon footprint has never been bigger, I can hear trees in the Amazon gasping from emphysema. Been at cottage through March, April was shite, May, June, skiing 2x daily. We developed WhatsApp OPP Watch alert network among ~40 participants across lake near marinas & ramps to ensure every opportunity to be inspected is not wasted, help cops validate their existence busting balls. It's a privilege to enjoy their compliance inspections, our tax $$'s at work, ~$85-100K/cop/yr + $200K for SUV + boat, plus $3-4k on 4-5 props & lower units trashed per season on unfamiliar shoals. Upon OPP alert i'll pull a box of old frozen timbits from freezer, head out & hook'em, troll in Voodoo/Critch til OPP show up, bite, give me the probe; always catch & release to ensure OPP sustainability. They're so prim & proper sweating in 32C sun wearing dark military style uniforms, silly Tilley hats, bullet proof vests under life jackets busting Mom's pulling kids on tubes. Not racing this summer suits me fine, catching up on years of neglected chores, repairs, new builds, town & country, starting early on Fall/Winter supply hoarding against CV19/20/21/.....oh yeah, need more firewood & ammo.
