Last year was my first to own a Cat here in the great Midwest, and attempt to keep in outside.

Jake had commented that the small tramp only tarp looked like a 'bikini'! He was right!

So, I thought about what to do this year.
It's kinda funny, thinking can be dangerous ;-)

Here's my current set up- with the taller 'tent'

I've also had the boat inclined for months so no water could build up neat the board trunks and freeze, potentially causing a crack.

It actually works to NOT build up with snow on it, so far, so good. We've already had about a foot total this witner.
Damn climate change ;-)
