Does the Weirs sign get turned off when the Mount leaves Weirs for the season?

Say it isn't so . . .
Oh, how I will miss saying "There's The Mount"! I still plan on kayaking in the snow on Saturday.

..... whir-buzz-whir-buzz-whir!
It looked like it was totally empty as it motored past yesterday, except for the person driving the boat. While it used to go chug-chug-chug with the old 1940's engines, now it whirs or buzzes very quietly with the new 2011 cash-for-clunkers, government trade-in $700,000 pair of Caterpillar diesels.
Looking at the number of people on-board as it hums past from 200-300-yards away, it seems like business has been picking up last year, 2013, and this year, 2014, as compared to 2009-2012. Believe a standard ticket is 20-dollars for a cruise from Weirs-around Bear Island-Wolfeboro-Weirs, about 2 1/2 hours, and they do the best business with the September-October leaf-peeper buses. Ya knows, the more I tink about it.....I miss that old chug-chug-chug.....couldn't Caterpillar install a chug-chug-chug sound to accompany their new efficient engines. Just like all the flasher buoys all around the lake are highly efficient with their split-second flourescent style white flasher blinks.....the old flasher lights were much more like a flickering yellow candle with a light that lasted a lot longer ...... and these new lights are supposed to be an improvement? On the Mount, the line of lighbulbs that hung way up high from bow to stern with a wire line of sockets and lighbulbs has been replaced with a self-contained wire with l.e.d. lights.....but it just aint the same old warm look as it used to be. Anyone know: How much for the Mount's least expensive beer in the lounge.....probably PBR?
