RG I am with you on my vacations/ weekends I just don't feel like getting up at the butt crack of dawn just to get a spot. If I get up there and there is a spot that's great if not I squeeze in if possible or move on. Don't get me wrong there are a occasions when I wake up early and want to get up there, especially if I am meeting somebody whom I normally do not fish with. Still waiting an hour by the side of the river NOPE. When I do go up early I try to tie it so I get there just in time.
Pete, sorry to hear about the boiler issues, mine runs my HW too. I have gotten pretty good about doing the simple stuff with mine, even made a few piping repairs, replaces stats and even my air eliminator, but the technical stuff I leave to the pros
