You're doing the right thing... just call it an 'adventure' and wait until the water recedes. The boat will be there.

water receded in time to get the kids to school after lunch but it was still way to high for me to go to the office.

We've had about 8 - 10 inches of rain here in 5 days and its raining AGAIN tonight.

Frank, I saw the pictures of your ice storm so I thought I'd let you know that we're getting hammered in our own way as well. Nice to have a river at the house instead of a creek. I can go fishing!

Sorry about all the bad weather out there. Hope you make it through unscathed.
And speaking of fishing in the back yard...

The roadsign says 'Narrow Bridge'. That's the understatement of the week!

Narrow bridge? Bridge? What bridge?

Sorry about the thread drift. But yes, they are reds. We live on a small tidal creek that goes out to the St. Johns River. During the hurricanes last season the water came half way up to the house. My mother-n-law lives in the downstairs. Everyone was worried about flooding. Now she is worried that a Tsunami will get her, even though we are 12 miles from the coast!

Hey Jim, that is a Mad River white water canoe in the back of the fish picture. Would you like to borrow it?

Going to work yesterday morning we had to pass a flodded road. There was a guy that was going a little too fast in the opposite direction from us and hydroplaned onto the side of the road getting stuck. As we came up to him another car going in his direction did the same thing and bumped into his back end.
Pulled out the trusty tow strap for launching the cat 25 and got the guy out in two shakes.
Did our good dead for the day.

Bad weather???? Off topic??????? It's the topic across the nation this week.

We're expecting up to 15" of snow over the weekend with temps down to -13 degrees, -45 degree wind chill. Continued more of the same until next Weds. Thankfully, we are better equipped to handle our weather situation up here in Northern Michigan, than you folks are. Floods, tsunamis, huricanes.....I'll take 15" of snow and -45 degree temps over what many of you have been forced to go through any time.
