The house on Welcome Island... always wanted to check it out.... today I did!

Did you get an invite, or just show up?

It is kind of a neat place. The previous owner was a friend so I went to a cookout there. Some unique features for sure and a nice area of sandy beach. The biggest downside in my opinion is the holding tank. But, owning your own island is kind of cool!

All in all, it's been a pretty amazing summer for me. Despite all the rainy weather, I've actually made my dream come true... working on the lake! Some days have been long, but never lacking amazing views. I've met and interacted with so many nice, friendly people along the way that I've almost forgotten how stressful the auto service business actually was. As my season is winding down, the harsh reality is setting in... I have to go back to a " real job" for a little while anyway, and I'm dreading the thought of throwing myself back in the fire. I guess it will make me appreciate next summer even more, and how beautiful this area really is!! Someday...." Sigh"...

Glad the summer went so well for you. What is your winter gig, back at the service desk part time?

There really are a ton of truly nice, pleasant people in this world. Sometimes when you run into some that aren't so nice it can be easy to forget, but they are all around us.

Ok from the man who had frozen dock lines last year, this is concerning.... Or is it simply that you have so much to move back to the main land, that if you don't start now, you are concerned that you will have to deal with froozen dock lines again....

I know this reasoning well.... My wife is trying to convince me into having the place closed by the end of Oct.... I generally have the boat out by then, but then take my time closing the camp itself going up a few time in Nov.

I do understand full well you don't have that option, on a real island

Too much rain...We haven't stayed on island since Labor Day. And this weekend isn't looking great either. Its depressing how many weekends we spent at home this season.

We still have 4 boats and 3 pwc in the water as well as an empty woodshed to fill so I need to spend some time out there soon.

Because she is making you… We almost pulled the plug on our season this morning, Rob wanted to winterize before he left for Maine but we decided to roll for another week. We haven’t stayed on island since Labor Day, but I’ll probably head out tonight. May try to squeeze them next weekend as well.

I to am dragging out the season.... I could have very easly closed up shop this past weekend, it would have been busy day doing so.... But instead, I enjoyed the day Saturday, and did just enough to say I was working towards closing the camp but not actually doing so...

This weekend however I just don't think I have enough delaying tactics....

Dan, everyone knows it's very hard for me to leave! Family situations took us off the island much earlier than desired... completely moved off since before Halloween. I think I'm in stalling mode...one weekend I cleaned everything out, last weekend I drained the plumbing and winterized, tomorrow I'll set up the circulator and bring all my tools home... it's like leaving a foot in the door, you know!

Hey there, unless you keep your boat in Lake Winnipesaukee till sunset-December 31, you are not getting your full money's worth from your NH-2023 motor boat registration! ......

Plus, doesn't it have an enclosed cabin with a really good heater like what is used on small boats in Norway?

If the lake in your neighborhood actually iced over before January 1, you would know it and a boat like that with a vee hull can most likely cut through the ice, one inch thick, while going 20-mph, up on plane.

You finally took it out?

I did...too many complaints from the regulars at the Breeze...they come for the views and wanted a change of scenery!

Oh, I'm thinking I get my money's worth already!

Anyone out there love a good mystery? Here's one to ponder. Last year, Gilford assessed our Mt. View slip at 42k. This year's assessment...135 k. If my 401k took leaps like that, I wouldn't have had to go back to work full time! Does this seem like highway robbery to anyone other than me??

I'd like to reply to this, but the kids in Moultonborough and Meredith have threads on taxes that have gone way off course. Wouldn't want that to happen here.

What I CAN see are some pretty cool sunrises, especially since Holly the dog thinks 5 am is an appropriate wake up time for me. Here's this morning's....

It is kind of a neat place. The previous owner was a friend so I went to a cookout there. Some unique features for sure and a nice area of sandy beach. The biggest downside in my opinion is the holding tank. But, owning your own island is kind of cool!

Despite all the rainy weather, I've actually made my dream come true... working on the lake! Some days have been long, but never lacking amazing views. I've met and interacted with so many nice, friendly people along the way that I've almost forgotten how stressful the auto service business actually was. As my season is winding down, the harsh reality is setting in... I have to go back to a " real job" for a little while anyway, and I'm dreading the thought of throwing myself back in the fire. I guess it will make me appreciate next summer even more, and how beautiful this area really is!! Someday...." Sigh"...

There really are a ton of truly nice, pleasant people in this world. Sometimes when you run into some that aren't so nice it can be easy to forget, but they are all around us.

The list price is in the neighborhood of $800,000. Nice neighborhood! It looks like it could be this Cobalt from East Coast Flightcraft: https://www.eastcoastflightcraft.com...=xNewInventory
