I hope everyone had a great weekend!!!!

Sunday was kind of BLAH but we got the Seadoos in and kind of just fiddled around the house for most of the day.

Monday however was sunny and beautiful so I already had the boat out of the garage so I went to Clear Creek to launch and my truck is too low in the back and the trailer hits bottom before I can get back far enough to launch.

So we got on over to Lakeside and for $4 they launched the boat with their tractors for me so we were able to get out and had a great day.

Now onto the word.........While at Lakeside I got to talking to the Owner (I think) and he said the APCO is claiming all of this mess is not THEIR fault that it is Army Corp of Engineers fault.

What that tells me is that it is all political and unless someone wants to draft a serious letter to the governor then we are going to have no control over the situation.

He also said that APCO intends to lower the lake another 2 ft by Wednesday this week and that should be it for a while.

Anyone that is not ready to throw in the towel on the Summer...........Lakeside said as soon as the water drops the 2 feet they are going to take a back hoe and dig out as far as possible and extend their boat ramp 20ft so that they can still launch. (he said APCO gave him a pemit for it also).

Personally I am not through just yet, we have a few scheduled parties for the lake including the race and while I am going to have to dock the boat 4 houses down, it is still better than a weekend in Birmingham.

Has anyone else heard anything different than that?
