Hi Folks!
We are back safely from our vacation on South Bass Island/Put-In-Bay. Some
pictures posted at: alt.binaries.pictures.sports.ocean Despite the fact that we had a golf cart stolen from our driveway by a couple of 17 year old punks (I ended up catching them and turned them over to the police) we had a great time. I am on vacation for another week but this time just chilling around the house and doing some boating. ;-) |

Sometimes it seems like one needs a vacation to recoup from a vacation. ;-) BTW: If you ever want to buy a house on the Island, here is what $550k will get you (not even lake front and only a 100X200 lot): http://tinyurl.com/lt7mu |
Hi Folks!
Welcome back, Jim. Wonderful that you had a good time, and glad you
could catch the punks too! Hope they'll be able to learn something about their errors, but eh, probably not. JimH wrote: We are back safely from our vacation on South Bass Island/Put-In-Bay.

We had a pretty bad storm pass through here on Thursday........it hit the east end of Cleveland especially hard with up to 9 inches of rain coming down in an hour: http://www.cleveland.com/ |
Hi Folks!
9" an hr? WOW!

Hope they'll be able to learn something about their errors, but eh, probably not. After I was told by the cart rental place that I was responsible I drove around the Island for a full hour looking for these guys. They had removed the rental company stickers and the fold down windshield from the cart. They are being charged in juvenile court by the police. I was able to flag down a cop after I caught them (I made a police report earlier). I made a request to the prosecutor for restitution for my time, gas use and SUV use when trying to find them as well as loss of cart use. After all, they screwed up a full morning of my vacation time. JimH wrote: We are back safely from our vacation on South Bass Island/Put-In-Bay.

Hi Folks!
it's supposed to be in the high 90's for the rest of this coming week,
with very little relief in sight. My boat doesn't have a top, so I think I'm going to pass going to the lake this week. RATS! JimH wrote: wrote in message ups.com... 9" an hr? WOW!

This is nothing.....I spent two weeks in China and the end of June, it was 90+ and 90+ humidity. When you walked out a door, you immediately turned wet. So how crowded was the bay? I am planning on making a run there later, possibly Labor day weekend. Have the crowds picked up yet. Last year seemed to have the lingering effects of the water scare. |

I am planning on making a run there later, possibly Labor day weekend. Have the crowds picked up yet. Last year seemed to have the lingering effects of the water scare. Last weekend they were rafted off up to 6 deep, but that was Christmas in July weekend. There were still plenty of slips open when we left Friday morning but friends of ours staying through the weekend said it was like Sodom and Gomorrah once again last night in town...........meaning nothing but rafting off on the Bay and all mooring buoys filled. Regarding the water situation........all resorts and establishments had to install Class A water filtration systems and are waiting for EPA approval on those systems before they can be classify their tap water to be safe to drink. We stayed at the Island Club and there were still notices on the door about the tap water being non potable. Our unit had a Deer Park 5 gallon water cooler in it. We also brought 2 cases of bottled water. The Island will be running a city water line around the perimeter of the Island next year with all resorts and establishments expected to tap into that supply, abandoning the well water systems they may have been on. Regarding the humidity and rain............I still cannot recall it ever being this bad through an entire summer. ;-) |

Hopefully you won't be plagued with problems during the second week either! -- ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** John |

I doubt if you'll get much out of the punks wallets, but good luck
anyhow. JimH wrote: I made a request to the prosecutor for restitution for my time, gas use and SUV use when trying to find them as well as loss of cart use. After all, they screwed up a full morning of my vacation time. |
