The boat, that is.  Launched and got everything together to get ready for the season. Looks like winterization was a success again and everything appears to be in good working order. Lake is up 13 feet but I can live with that as long as it isn't full of logs. Just wanted to share a little positivity instead of posting about a problem with the boat. |

13 feet!? That covers most of MO then, doesn't it?  I thought Perry was bad at almost 8'.

So are the MO lakes still up from all the flooding last year or is it the el nino affect of this year or a little of both? |

Smithville was about +4 ft yesterday, and even saw a few floating logs in the main channel. Highest it's been all season, but I had not been there for a few weeks. Funny story; At the end of the day the GF made her first attempt at putting the trailer in the water, and did quite well with no incident. However, just as we were pulling away the peeps launching next to us managed to hit the dock with thier trailer twice, and thier rear bumper/qtr panel once. I am happy I will not be on the water next weekend for the "Amateur Boaters Holiday Weekend". |

Much of MO has been getting pounded with rain since about the last week of April. Just finally got a break from it about 5 days ago. It takes a lot of direct-hit rain to get my home lake up 13 feet. It is a higher elevation than most of the other lakes and so runoff is minimal when it comes to dumping water from several miles away into the lake. It is the first of a chain of three lakes that ends with Lake of the Ozarks and eventually dump into the MO river south of St. Louis. So, if that lake is up 13 feet, there has been a TON of local rain there. Surprisingly, the ceilings in my place down there didn't have single rainwater stain on them either. Usually find one a year when I go open the place up. |

It's hard to imagine Pomme being up that far, when Table Rock is only up a foot - different part of the state, different terrain, etc. - but close enough to be surprising. Perry went up another 1/2-foot, then back down to 7' high today. This is going to be a very short season for us if they don't get it drained. |
