remi_357 is Perry STILL that low? That pic looks at least a few weeks old, if not older. I would have guessed the levels have come up some with the rains we've had in April/May.

The daily report shows Perry less than 2' below normal... what's up?

Yes sir, those pics are around 2 weeks old. I haven't had a chance to check it out again lately. I hope you guys are correct, I would love to be out there this weekend. I may go check out the state park after work today.

Finally a good weekend.. Lots of sun, and dry weather!

Morning run back from shore to let the dog do his business..

Wife enjoying some of the awesome sun! Her shoulders got caught off guard the day before, and she got a bit over done then..

I want a 248, but the HOA has a 22ft limit. I've tried offering donations but it's a no-go. I might move to Atlanta in a year or 2, I'll get a 248 for Lake Altoona.

The weather has been all over the place here, so the 180 is not in the water yet. Hopefully this weekend.

My son and I did try the new toy out this past Monday though....

I'm pretty pleased with it. 20 mph on our first outing with 2 of us and a full tank of fuel. I am pretty sure I have the outboard tilted in/down 1 peg to far, so I might see a few more mph out of it with a motor adjustment.
