Great weekend coming!
Forecast shows high 70's for Laconia for Saturday. While leeward side of the lake will be cooler with off-water breeze (water still cold), it should be a nice weekend to soak up some vitamin-D...

New Meredith dock idea
I know there are a lot of docks at Meredith already, though often not enough. While driving by the new Hannafords it occurred to me that there's a lot of unused shoreline almost across the street...

Careful out there!
Nice to have an early ice-out, but be very careful as the water temp is only 38 degrees. Falling in would result in only minutes to survive. We always wear PFD's while boating until the water temp...

well pump
Many people use a regular submersed well pump. No priming needed, just flip the switch at the start of each season and instant water.

needs more than paving
Rt-109 needs a lot more than just paving. This needs to be redone with a proper bed and drainage. I'm betting it's just old-school asphalt over leveled dirt.
