Another sad day for me got word, my oldest brother Carl age 97 has been moved to hospice.  So I suspect I will be on the road sometime soon

This guy does all sorts of silly things with bikes. 

Prices on new ones are absolutely crazy. My last one was a 2011, and prices on roughly equivalent new models have basically doubled since then.

33* and clear.

This nice, DRY, weather is helping with the lake level. I think it is still going over the spillway but the sump pump is not kicking on.

Mr. C, don't think there is any concerns for a "log" jam, most are small chunks, a log, brush with a dock or 2 thrown in.

The wife has got the "new" car shopping bug. Her CRV is over 12 years old and has seen a lot of trips to NYC.

Hope everyone has a good day and be well....h2l

Here is a simple test anyone can do. It doesn't matter if you use a jar or the local swimming beach. Take some line, stick it in the water, and look at it. I'm sure some line shows up more than others. Obviously green or blue line will be easier to see than clear. The thicker the line, the easier it is to see. Different brands might be cloudier than others. The dirtier the water, the harder it is to see the lines.

Here's a picture to mull over. This is three lines I have laying around of comparable strength and from the same brand. One is Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon 14 pound, one is Berkley Trilene XL 10 pound, and one is Berkley Big Game 15 pound. You tell me which is which. It's actually kind of hard to get a picture of clear lines with no background. It shows up pretty good using an olive oil bottle as a background. Obviously there's not a mile of difference between them.
