What an eventful weekend and Monday.\u00a0 On Saturday we went over to Bristol, IN to Fluid Fun.\u00a0 FF has the largest inventory of kayaks in the Midwest.\u00a0 It was fun trying on different kayaks even if it was spitting sleet, snow and raining.\u00a0 SAM like the Wilderness Systems Tsunami 140 and it fit like a glove.\u00a0 I tried it but it seemed too tight for my feet but when I put on my neoprene high top boots it fit me like a glove too.\u00a0 When the water recedes we will try them out.\u00a0 On the way back we stopped at Essen Haus for lunch and that pretty much killed Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u00a0We had been noticing a slow rise in the lake water level of approximately 3″ per day.\u00a0 By Sunday morning the yard down below was pretty much under water.\u00a0 Late in the day we took the kayaks down to the outlet and discovered a beaver dam had dammed up about 2.5 ft of water.\u00a0 I vowed to call someone on Monday morning.\u00a0 By Monday morning the whole yard up to the building was under water and I started to panic.<\/p>\n
I called the County Commissioner, Surveyor, and the county highway.\u00a0 Well, action was almost immediate and by the 1400 hrs\u00a0you could see the lake levels receding.\u00a0 I got a nice call from Ron Smith our county commissioner and we jawed for a long time.\u00a0 He is a canoe buff and did big stretches of the Wabash River.\u00a0 We hit it off right away and he is just down the road!<\/p>\n
Both my Dr’s appointments went ok and I drove up to GR about 1700.\u00a0 I have gained a total of 20# this winter and now have to lose all of it plus the previous amount so it is 40 # to go this summer.\u00a0 Good goal huh?\u00a0 I guess we like pasta too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
