My marina call up again, and asked me to dry store my boat so they could
use the slip for some other boats, after I told them no problem, they
agreed to winterize the boat for free, which was a really nice gesture,
since I had already said yes.

So we went up yesterday to pull some stuff out of the boat and the
refrigerator. Afterwards we snapped some photos of a friends dock. We
then took a walk in the Chattahoochee River Park below Lake Lanier and
to take some fall photos and walk the dogs.

There is a little bit of difference between the two.

All of the Corp lakes in the area are suffering almost to the point of
depletion, while the lakes that are ran by utilities (Georgia Power)
are doing good considering the drought.

Now might be a good time to clear out some of those big stones.

You'd have a hell of a time! The underlying geology is weathered rock,
then Stone Mountain Granite!

With the water levels that low, whoever controls the lake ought to
restrict its use to drinking water alone. Boats, people, et cetera, dump
all manner of pollutants into the water, and the parts per million of
offal can only be going up.

Where's "Brownie" when you need him? I'm sure he'd do the usual good job
for the Bush Administration on resolving the differences at the lake!

Herein lies the trouble, the Army Corp doesn't have the ability to use
any type of judgement. They can only do what they are directed to.

Is this a political discussion? I thought that this was a
recreational discussion...Too bad you Bush haters can't have fun!! As
a foot note Jimmy Carter is the one that came up with the present day
Corp of Engineers guidelines...

think that.
