Thanks for all the suggestions about boat storage, but what was really going
through my mind when I made the comment was that "if I had a bigger garage,
I'd have about six boats".  I've stashed boats at friends places, but
they've gotten married and moved, or gotten divorced and moved, or just
moved, so I lost my storage spaces.  I have room for one canoe in my garage,
but will find a way to hang a kayak when I get it.  Thinking about all the
responses I unintentionally generated (you folks sure know how to send
someone back to lurking :-) ), I finally realized that I'm jealous of you
folks in warmer climates.  No, I actually LIKE winter --  if you've never
snowshoed or skied in the woods after a fresh snowfall on a crisp morning,
you don't know how incredibly beautiful and how much fun winter can be.
What I'm jealous about is the fact that I'm old and crotchety (sp?) enough
that I am not going to scrape frost off the Jeep at 5:30 in the morning at
15 below during the winter.  So the garage is used for car storage.
Therefore, I'm jealous of warmer climates because you folks can leave the
car outside and use your garage for a more useful purpose ....... to store
TOYS.
