Looks like a nice day, mid 70’s and no wind. The rona is behind me after 22 days and I’m feeling up to pushing the throttles forward.

Heading to the springs for lunch if anyone is around.

Down in the winter but still runnable up to the bridge which is just out of frame
I've read articles about how that river system and those damns work.... so I guess they tighten it up waiting for snow melt to restore system in spring/ summer huh.

It would be great to get back hoe in there and dig out around your docks, while the water is that low.....

although I’m sure there are environmental laws about that, maybe do it at night....😜

I think @Bigbore500r did it a year or so ago. Problem is quality of work and where to put the shit you dig out.

The wind should be back tomorrow, if you know what I’m sayin. [emoji12]


Glad you are feeling up to a boat ride Walt. The vitamin D will definitely help.

The London Jet passed by loaded with people twice yesterday! I know its a jet, but that thing drafts some water. Just gotta know the path and you can run above the bridge in winter. You just won't catch me doing it .....lol

Yea we did - hired a local who was doing some dirt work nearby. He hauled away a truck load and then was digging and feathering it out as deep as he could. Worked well, the one side of the dock he did is quite a bit deeper even 2 years later. Problem is, he started on the wrong side and then couldn't get to the other side lol......
Ive never seen it as low as it is here. This was December 2018

Guys, I used to work with the owners of Trump State equipment. Good dudes. If you need a hookup on dirt equipment I can make a call.
