With the warm sunny weather the last couple of days things around here have hit a new gear. Some of our docks were splashed today and tomorrow we start a major waterfront dock project in sections "c" and "battleship row". This will definitely keep us going for several days. The docks are one of the keys as every boat flows through the shop and yard and is water tested before release. With the docks in this allows us some additional yard space s we more the dockage customers to their slips. It is really great for the staff when they can work in great weather putting the docks in instead of the cold and wet normal spring weather. Mosquito's have disappeared again that's nice. Lots of boat shoppers, emails and phone calls from our customers and people looking for a new ride...some really nice comments on our new Stingray Boat line. First new Stingray gets delivered Saturday am....everyone is excited...a special day. After that boat goes in about 100 more new and used boats to delivery over the next 6 to seven weeks. Add to that some 250 storage boats and motors...man are we busy in May.
As I mentioned before and those who have seen my desk know that I am a huge Pittsburgh Steeler fan. Big Ben #7 was on the news telling everyone that he needs to do better and try to be a role model for kids...got some work to do there. Art Rooney the teams President is an old school guy and was not impressed. Holmes #10 also got himself in trouble with controlled substances and received a 4 game suspension. ( his second suspension) The team ownership looking to make a statement shipped Holmes off to the Jets to get rid of the problem. I am not sure that was punishment as the Jets are a contender in 2010 but I guess he will have to move to a new city and new faces. It was either Ben or Holmes which had to go...lower man on the pay scale gets moved to make a statement. I wonder if the Steelers will be drafting a QB this year?
Jays are off to a good start...we will see how long that lasts....nice energy on the team. Watched a good portion of the Masters. Nickelson won...Tiger lost but did well...swearing and bad body language not wise for a national audience for a guy looking for a comeback. Tiger should have thanked all the fans for their support during the event instead of just complaining about his game.
If any of you have not been by our old area...you are in for a huge surprise. Now it looks like Deerhurst and with the University of Waterloo building behind...massive...wow. I will put some pictures up later in the week when I get a chance to get back over there. By the way the waterway restrictions on Fairy, Mary and Vernon have been lifted for the G8. Those of you on the canal or near the canal on Fairy and Penn are not so lucky. We will be looking for the first sighting of the two man subs this spring...last sighting off Anther Island in Fairy Lake. Was that a log or a periscope? Perhaps we should have a contest winner for the first picture that does not get censored by the RCMP or CSIS. Shortly we will be able to see the iron curtain being built around Grandview and Deerhurst. Ten feet high concrete and wire...over 1 million dollars of concrete which has to be removed within 6 days of the close of the G8. At least the fencing will be recycled to a dog walking area at the ball diamonds.
