Ed,
Your marina has ordered boat racks for 43 boats which they will remove from  
the water with a crane beginning next week. You may want to talk to them and  
have your boat removed at the same time. The only boat they can't remove is 
the  Island Packet.

Rod,

I got an Eagle fish finder (a Lowrance brand) instead  of just a depth gauge. 
I put the skimmer transducer forward under V berth  without epoxing it to
hull.  It appears to work o.k.  I did not  want a permanent location until I
see how well it works.

On Lake  Hartwell, we need to watch for underwater trees now days.  I  figured
this would do better than just a depth meter.  Now I have to  find our
underwater forest they are all talking about.  

The  underwater forests are apparently causing issues of people trying to
moor  their boats in open water rather than tied to docks which sit on  land.

As Rummy said they are expecting the lake to go down another six  feet by the
end of the year.  That gets the lake down to something  they call dead water. 
But it will be surface water then.  We may get  to see the original Savannah
River next year.  Unfortunately Rummy's  estate is so far back that he will
have to walk a mile to see it.  I  am waiting to see if he outfits a golf
cart with balloon tires to make the  trek.

It is interesting to see tree stump in places you did not  expect.  For
informational purposes, I still have 20+ feet of water  under my boat slip. 
I am not a scuba person, therefore I cannot tell if  there are any tree
stumps under me. 

It looks like a great time for  the conservationists to clean up the place. 
There is debris and junk and  who knows what all over the shore line.  Maybe
the correct machine  would be Herb's Duck?

Addendum by  Walter Williams:
Wackonomics can help us understand what some people call  the income
distribution. The logical extension of wackonomic thought is  that the
unequal or unfair distribution of income is the handiwork of a  dollar dealer
who distributes dollars. The dollar dealer might deal one  person a million
dollars a year while dealing most others a mere pittance  like $10, $20 or
$30 thousand a year. Thus, the reason why some people are  wealthy while
others are poor is because the dollar dealer is a racist,  sexist, a
multi-nationalist, or just plain mean. Economic justice requires  a
re-dealing of the dollars, income redistribution or spreading the  wealth,
where the government takes the ill-gotten gains of the few and  returns them
to their rightful owners. Wackonomics might have a greed-based  explanation
for income inequality. There is a pile of money called income  and greedy
people got there first and took their unfair share. Similarly,  economic
justice requires a redistribution of income.
