boat will be selling cheap real soon
Yep, I remember that saying....we're not to that point yet, but very soon.
We are thinking if the boat does sell soon(I have a couple buyers looking at it now) we might take the money and invest it for a year or until the lake recovers and buy a new boat at that point. In the mean time I'll pick up a paddle board for Mrs. Daytona.

From what I've read about water treaties, so is AZ. CA and NV have more right to Colorado river water than AZ.

To give an idea of nutty this season is, lets talk about fog. Tully Fog, to be exact.
See this link if you don't know what it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tule_fog
When I lived in SoCal, we had fog, then I moved to Norcal and met Tully Fog. Trust me, that's FOG.
The point of all of this, is that there is a fog season up here. Usually gets started in November-ish, and ends in Feb-ish. When we know we are going to encounter fog, we double up the engineers on the head end, one being a "fog engineer" a second set of eyes to help the regular guy. At 80mph, we get less than one second to see and identify a signal and act on it. This is because the fog is so thick you literally can not see the rail in front of the engine. You are in a cloud so thick nothing is identifiable from Bakersfield to Fresno. Over one hundred miles. When I first started doing it, it terrified me, to an extent, it still does. But I do it, somehow.
Here is the deal. We have not called one, no, not one fog job this year so far. There has been no rain(the reason for the fog) at all this year. It is the strangest winter I have seen since moving up here. More like a light summer. Which makes it ever stranger that the rest of the fucking country is buried in snow and and freezing temperatures.....if we do not get some rain soon...we are fucked on a level most of these NorCal dumbasses cant imagine. I will hang up the boat for the summer. Fuck it. I'll hang out at Havasu and drink everyone's beer and mooch off their BBQ and crash out in their backyards and sneak my boat into their slips while they are gone....
