Trip to Cave Run Lake

It was time for some recreation, so we hooked up the boat and headed out.













We launched the boat in the Daniel Boone National Forest at Cave Run Lake.












We found a nice, unpopulated cove to stop in and we all jumped over the side of the boat. The water temperature was a bit warm at 87, but it really felt nice.












Barry and Jim swam over to the shoreline and made me come and get them. All because I didn't bring the ladder to get back into the boat.

New registration number

After all the years I've had this hull number, it was easy for me to remember.













But it's time to change, so I got the new numbers and got started. Since they are just stick-on numbers, it was an easy job.

My new numbers and registration sticker. You have to renew them every year here. In New York, it was every three years.

And I finally got the gun cabinet set up and filled up. There is one of Lisa's in there to finish filling up all the spaces. We also got the steps moved. See Jim's blog for pictures of that.

finishing the boat

I picked up this cover yesterday, but ran out of daylight and energy to get it put on. So I did it today after work. This is the first time the boat hasn't been under a roof in almost a decade. It's only out temporary, though. It will have another roof in a little while.

A "boat load"

I brought Lisa and Jim's utility trailer back from Kentucky with me so it can be loaded

I'm changing the hitch ball. Allen is helping. The boat and utility trailer take different sizes.

All hooked up and ready to take off. I'll be back in a couple weeks for the full utility trailer. And the boat is here in Winchester so I can start looking for fishing spots.

Changing over

RC gave me a day off today, so I put it to good use. Lisa showed me where the "inspection" place was and where the motor vehicle people are. It's all in a small area downtown, so it wasn't too bad. The truck was due for NY inspection this month, anyway. Now I can just skip it. I guess I'm really a Kentucky resident now. I got a bank account opened up, too.

Kentucky Arizona pictures

Arizona is getting friendlier by the day. I can just walk up and start scratching her now.

This shot is for Heather. Do you think there is going to be a dark spot on her forehead when she gets her regular hair in?

starting the move

I know this picture has nothing to do with our move, but I was a real slacker in the photo department and didn't get any shots of the first load I brought last weekend. (It was the car, 4-wheeler and a few totes.) I'll try and do better with the pictures next time. This was taken over Memorial Day weekend when Boo and Marianne were here. And no, I didn't get any of them, either. I started my new job yesterday, and it seems to be going OK. I will need to learn the towns around here as quickly as possible, though.
