Bill:

Swimming in 50 deg water is better. When you swim and it's that cold, you have towels and dry clothes ready at the edge of the pond! ;\)

I'd just spent 3 weekends putting the windmill together - you think an Icthyusiast on a roll is gonna wait 6 months before finishing the installation? The fact that it was BPB and pretty much unnecessary is beside the point.

Thinking about it, I believe my wife actually thinks I'm crazier for canoing in that weather, to reposition the airstone to shallow water for the Winter, than to swim that one time to put it in to start with.

You may notice that this story is NOT listed in the "My Stupidest Stunt" thread. Not even close.
