In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you can prepare your boat for winter, you need to move it to a protected location. Most marinas have lifts to transfer larger boats onto trailers and storage blocks. If you have a smaller boat, use a winch to pull the boat onto a trailer parked near the water. You can leave a small speedboat or sailboats on its trailer while you winterize it. If you have a larger, heavier boat like a yacht, put it on blocks for the winter. Try to find a secure storage spot inside a marina or garage. The shrink wrap releases chemicals as it is heated, so make sure you have some open doors or other ventilation nearby. Working outdoors is fine, but keep in mind that strong winds make winterizing a boat very difficult. If you have to work outdoors, choose a clear, windless day. To protect yourself from any fumes released by the shrink wrap, wear a respirator or dust mask. If you can, bring the boat to its winter storage location before winterizing it. That way, you don't have to move it later and risk damaging the wrapping. To protect your boat, turn off the fuel line valve. Drain any remaining fuel out of the line, if possible. Then, completely seal the vents to prevent heat from igniting fuel vapors. Use as much tape as you need to block off the vents. You can get shrink wrap tape online from marine supply stores and shrink wrap suppliers. Also, look for it at hardware or general stores. Consult the boat manufacturer or your owner's manual to find the vents if you're not sure where they are. Sharp pieces are threats to a shrink wrap seal. Cover them completely to blunt them. Tape cushioning to them with shrink wrap tape or something similar. Make sure the shrink wrap can rest against these edges without breaking. You can purchase foam insulation from a hardware store or repurpose some old towels or clothing. Some areas to cover include windshield corners, antennas, and ski pylons.
Summary: Take the boat out of the water before wrapping it. Move the boat to a well-ventilated area for storage. Cover fuel vents with shrink wrap tape to seal them. Pad sharp corners with foam cushions or towels.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If the bagel was wrapped individually, take it out of its wrap and throw it away. If it was stored in bulk with other bagels, take it out and rewrap the rest of the bagels before replacing them in the freezer. Microwaving a bagel is a good way to quickly heat it up straight from the freezer. Keep in mind that it won't produce a crispy exterior, though. If you do want that crispy outside, opt for the toaster or bake the bagel in the oven. Separate the bagel halves and put them face-side up on a plate. If you choose to not use a plate or dish, set them on top of a paper towel in the microwave to keep them from sticking to the surface. If the bagel is unsliced, you could either slice it before you microwave it or wait until afterward. The total cooking time depends on your microwave, but it usually takes about 1 minute and 15 seconds to 2 minutes to thoroughly cook through. Test how done it is by poking the doughy section with your fingerif the bagel still feels cold or hard, it's not done yet. Be careful when taking the plate out of the microwave as it may be hot to the touch.
Summary: Pull a bagel out of the freezer. Put the bagel on a microwave-safe dish. Microwave the bagel in 20-second increments until it is cooked through.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depending on what age your cat is, its coat may be more or less thick. Cats shouldn't go bald or lose their hair, but by determining just how full their coat is you can narrow down their age. The coat of an older cat may be more thin than that of a younger one. Seasonal variations can occur. Summer coats are thinner than winter coats. If your cat is losing fur, visit with your veterinarian. There are some subtle differences in the texture of your cat's coat at different times in its life. By looking for these differences, you may be able to get a good sense of how old your cat is. Young cats will have smooth and full coats of hair. Older cats will likely have coarser hair. Some patches of gray hair may appear in older cats. As your cat ages, levels of activity will change. These changes to how active your cat is can lead to changes in its body shape. Judging the shape of your cat's body may give you a clue as to how old it is. Young cats tend towards being lean and muscular, due to their high levels of activity. Middle age cats may be more filled out and round. Older cats will likely have pronounced shoulder bones and loose skin.
Summary:
Check your cat's coat for how thick it is. Feel the texture of your cat's fur. Notice your cat's body type.
