The end of another Great Season 2008

I look forward to my Thursday night, 9PM drives up 93 every week, and now only have 5 left before close up. I find it very depressing. Didn't we just open??!! Wasn't this the year we were going to find the time to get to Sandy Point for lobster? and over to Walter's Basin for a Saturday night dinner at a table by the window? and get up to Lincoln for the Zip Line? and spend a night over on Long Island with my friend and his wife? and get out on the lake for a sunrise cruise. Well, what hapened? Rain, I guess. Who knows...summer is too short.
Maybe people can post things about their last days at the lake, until next year. And what their "must do this one more time" things are. Fun to read them all.
I was thinking back about the last three years, and how there has been a major incident/ accident each summer. Three years back two drownings in the broads on the same day. Two years back, the boat sinking off the broads..still no findings? And this year, the terrible Father's Day weekend thing (no finding yet there either I believe). I thank God I was not the second major event of the year on that August Monday afternonn.
Maybe we can have an error free '09. It will be interesting to see what things are like with the new "law" in effect (don't believe I am supposed to mention the actual term, per the forum rules). It's funny, as a reguar boater, I never gave it much thought. Doesn't bother me either way, and can see both sides.
I subscribe to the "always respect the other guys space" rule, but whatever.
So, people, what is the one thing (or things) you must do, without fail, one last time, over the next few weeks?
A quick few for me: breakfast at Geoge's. Beers in Wolfeboro at Upper Deck.
Margs at Crazy Gringo at the Weirs. Dinner at Lobster Pound (I am truly sorry, based on posts on this board, that I did not visit this place until the final days of August..great spot). Steak dinner at TBones, after putting the boat away at Paugus Bay Marina for the last time. And lastly, the single most important thing...listening to the Sox (and post game) on the radio, by the fire, into the late hours, followed by the simple sounds of the fire into the early morning hours...this I simply cannot do enough.
