I'm not saying that when it rains here, it rains all over the world,
but I didn't think there was much in the US that was in a drought

We have a green belt (wooded) behind our house. It was designated as
wetlands when the subdivision was first plotted. It is probably 150
feet deep.

Since Christmas the area has had small pools of water. We have
certainly had our share of rain here.

This spring, 50-pound mosquitoes and 200-pound horseflies. Better sell now!

Nah, the cold weather, if it come, will kill the *******s.

But we will be selling once my son is done with
college........hopefully in 2010.
By that time my daughter will be on her own. We will be downsizing
from this 3,800 square foot house to a single story with walk out
basement on the Huron Lagoons....or a condo on the Vermilion River.

Good lord - 3900 square feet?

Damn...

3,800 of living area *including* our finished basement. We designed
the basement so it could easily be converted into an in-law suite as it
has a full bath, kitchen area (less stove and only a bar fridge) and
TV/sitting area. The rest is a playroom with pool table, foosball and
pinball. The unfinished area includes closets and my workroom.

With both kids soon gone we do not need this size of house and will
definitely get something smaller.

I didn't need 3900 square feet and I had four. :)

Wow...


We didn't either.

I grew up in a small bungalow and then a modest 4 bedroom ranch with my
4 sisters. We had a pond in the back that my dad dug. We skated on it
during the winter. My good friend down the road had a big hill in his
backyard we used for sledding. It had a nice open space at the bottom
of the hill and played baseball and football on. My buddy next door
had a basketball hoop that was great for 2 on 2 or 1 on 1 games,
including HORSE. We spent a lot of time outside.

I probably had more fun in that house (1 tv, 1 telephone) than my kids
did in this house.

But you only live once and the house has appreciated nicely since we
built it. ;-)

Lake Murray here in SC is finally back up to near full pool. It's
been down for over two years as they reinforced the dam. I was out
last Saturday, and we've got our lake back!

Carlyle is a semi man-made lake, that is fed by the Kaskaskia river
that was dammed up in the early 50's., and the lake is shallow in some
places, but not bad, that is IF you know where to go.
Basicly though, it's either full, or fuller.

I like lake Murray, We use to live in Lexington and used that marina by
the dam to launch from. It was great because it was so close to the house.

We were there when they droped the lake to kill the hydrilla that was
choking the shallows, did that work out ?

I have been on Carlyle, but it has been about 30 years. You are right
about it being shallow in spots. I really don't know it that well.

The lake we went to most when I was growing up was Lake of the Ozarks
and Tablerock. My mom still has a place at the 26 mile marker on Lake of
the Ozarks, or about there if my memory recalls correctly. The place has
a Sunrise Beach mailing address.

When I get back to St.Louis we run a boat of my uncle's on the
Mississippi. That can be a lot of fun.

jack, that's one thing I'd like to do this summer, is go in a river
cruise on the MS. But I dont' know a thing about it, except for what I
see going over the bridge from IL into MO. on I-70.

I would like to plan it out for this summer, though.

You know where I can get info to do such?

Nope. They finally introduced sterile Grass Carp to the lake a couple
of years ago. That, coupled with the low levels forced by dam repair,
has knocked it back. We'll see how much is left out there this summer
when it is usually at its worst.

Jake's Landing is the marina by the dam. It's closest to our house,
and is where we keep our boat.

You mean the state ramp on the West Columbia/Irmo side of the Dam?

I took him to mean the marina on the Lexington side of the dam...
Jake's. That's my home base.

I there visiting my son who lives in Lexington County (West Columbia)
and I took a ride up to Lake Murray - I was amazed at the difference
between last August and now - totally different lake than it was last
summer.

No doubt about it. It's just over 2 feet away from full pool. That's
as high as they ever let it get.

Fortunately it's a pretty deep lake, so if you had water to get your
boat in, you could use the lake even when it was down. There were a
lot of lake property owners who had no water for a long time, though.

When we are on the river, since it is my Uncles boat he always runs it
so I can't really claim any experiance. When I get a chance I will ask
him for any tips he may have. When we go out it is just for a few hours.
And it had been several years. He will run pretty far with his wife
getting lodging on some points on the river. But honestly I can't recall
where he says he going when they go out for a few days.

I will try to remember to ask him about running the river and where he
goes. Plus any advice he may offer. His boat is a 23 ft Slickcraft I
beleive. He has had it for about 20 years on the river.

No this was not the public ramp (we once meet a guide there to take us
out) The ramp we used was in a small marina on the Lexington side. For
the life of me I can't recall what it was called. The Drive to it was
about four miles from the dam or somthing like that(past that little
store). They have a duel ramp setup with one finger peer on one side.

We lived off Old Cherokee and the little marina was closer to the house.
I think they charged me 3 bucks for every drop and pull out of there. It
could get pretty tight when it was busy.

When one went out on the lake from there you would pop out of a cove
about half way between Bomb/Dolittle Island and the Dam. We would run to
the far end to the point where it was starting to look like a river
again and head back on some outings.

Wow... small world. I used to live just off Old Cherokee Rd. We
liked the west end of the lake, so we kept the boat at Southshore
Marina on Hwy 378, down at the double bridges going toward the traffic
circle.

Now we live in the Corley Mill Rd. area, so Jake's is closer.

And I work with a bunch of ex-NCR people. We hired them as our
business expanded over the last few years, and they were looking for

Not exactly on topic, but two of the best transceivers I've ever owned
were made by a subsidiary of NCR - Signal One. My Dad had one to
evaluate for the ARRL and ended up buying it - a CX-7 and he gave it
to me when he bought a CX-11.

I miss that radio. :)

Here's some interesting history of the Signal One radios. I drooled over
them when they were first available but didn't have the resources at that
time.

A good move I am sure, After AT&T took them over and the resulting

because it was a good company and SC is a nice laid back place to live.

Still doing teck work, just not for them.

I would trade Atlanta for Columbia anyday, But times change as you well
know. I figured sooner or later I was going to be one of those ex-NCR
people looking for work there. Thus I landed a job in Atlanta and moved on.

Besides Murry, you got the Saluda there and that is a nice river to
float. We ran it once from just behind the dam to Radio lane. Very nice
and peacefull. Of course you have to be wary that they might increase
the water out of the dam at any time. It was strange to be in-town and
have such a relaxing river to run. There are a few places you had to be
careful due to some shallow rocky areas. But heck the only thing we saw
before we spotted the I26 bridge at Radio lane was a water intake for
some plant. All the rest was wooded or farm land.

Some buddies of mine once hired a striper guide on Murray. There was
four of us and we each caught 2 fish they all seemed to be around 10-15
lbs. Basically I have never fished for striper and so we were there to
learn how to do it. Our guide said if thats what you are paying for
thats what I give ya. Thus he showed us how to troll and use lead core
line. Plus top water techniques, and how to figues out where they are

NCR made the first personal rescue beacons for the fliers in Viet Nam.
Worked great, but were signal only and the VC would trigger them to set up
ambushes. So they were changed to 2 way radios later.

as compaired to Atlanta. Columbia ia a nice laid back place and has nice
weather.. ahhh but life moved us on once again. :-)

Ah, an old NCR guy. They offered me a position in SC after I finished my
degree and was working in Calif for NCR. Decided I liked CA better and
changed jobs. Would have taken a job at Rancho Bernardo.
A good move I am sure, After AT&T took them over and the resulting
meltdown I wonder if there was anything left there. It is really to bad
because it was a good company and SC is a nice laid back place to live.

Still doing teck work, just not for them.

Cheers!

We have a ROMEO breakfast each month. Retired Old Men Eating Out. Most
there are SF Bay area NCR guys.

Wow... small world. I used to live just off Old Cherokee Rd. We
liked the west end of the lake, so we kept the boat at Southshore
Marina on Hwy 378, down at the double bridges going toward the traffic
circle.

Now we live in the Corley Mill Rd. area, so Jake's is closer.

And I work with a bunch of ex-NCR people. We hired them as our
business expanded over the last few years, and they were looking for
work.


I would trade Atlanta for Columbia anyday, But times change as you well
know. I figured sooner or later I was going to be one of those ex-NCR
people looking for work there. Thus I landed a job in Atlanta and moved on.

Besides Murry, you got the Saluda there and that is a nice river to
float. We ran it once from just behind the dam to Radio lane. Very nice
and peacefull. Of course you have to be wary that they might increase
the water out of the dam at any time. It was strange to be in-town and
have such a relaxing river to run. There are a few places you had to be
careful due to some shallow rocky areas. But heck the only thing we saw
before we spotted the I26 bridge at Radio lane was a water intake for
some plant. All the rest was wooded or farm land.


Is that the river that runs down to Moultrie and the Santee Basin?

I think so. there are some rapids near the Columbia Zoo, then it runs
through the city. i beleive from there it goies to to Moultrie but I
have never been on that.
