First New Years resolution I ever made, to give up alcohol and drink
far less coffee. Both were giving me serious heartburn and it had
gotten so I cannot even drink beer because of it. Considering I prob
have more caffeine in my blood than hemoglobin, it had to be alcohol I
gave up but 12 cups of coffee a day probably is too much. So, with
only 3 cups in the morning and it being too cold outside to do
anything am feelin a bit tense.

Since I retired I do not drink anywhere's the amount of coffee I used
to. And still rarely drink alcohol. But one nice thing about losing
the Christmas weight gain. I am using Costco's brand SlimFast for
breakfast and lunch. Yesterday my buddy and I went up to New Melones
lake for some trout and bass fishing. We used the Hobie pedal kayaks.
Was easy to imbibe lunch while pedaling along and trolling for trout.
No fooling around with cutting bread or cheese. And only caught one
nice bass.


What's the lake level like at New Melones? It was waaay low when I was
last there in August.

Down 125'.


Yikes. Good thing it's pretty deep.

Yup. My buddy had the fishfinder on his boat, and we were in some deep
water not far from the shore We also were checking his new housboat. And
it is near the back of the cove, still plenty of water. He lost the last
houseboat when the mooring cable broke and his boat along with some others
were fouled. Wind rolled his boat. destroyed completely. Where it rolled
is now only about 70' deep, so he is thinking of taking the dive gear up.
