The Brew Crew has been drydocked!
Rains have consumed most of our summer, and on July 24th we had a 12-inch toad strangler. Then came the flooding in rivers and lakes in northern Missouri. Our lake--at record flood level--was out of its banks; water rose over the gas docks and up onto the parking lots. The docks held, but there was no way to get to the boats for almost 36 hours. The usually clear water was more a chocolate milk shake and littered with debris.
Although most of the dangerous logs, tires and other junk has been hauled out of the lake, we got word yesterday the e-coli levels are extremely high from all the rains and run off. The beaches are closed, boaters are advised to stay out of the water and the Brew Crew is literally a google-eyed fish outta water.
We have no idea when the Department of Natural Resources will let us back in our playground. We're a hang dog bunch these days, looking for other ways to entertain ourselves. This old fart is damned tired of fiddling in the yard instead of tinkering with water floaties, cruising through cookbooks instead of the water or cleaning house instead of drinking cold beer on the boat!

BJ, some of our beaches have been off limits too, due to unhealthy critters in the water. I would go play in the bath tub, but we still don't have hot water.
I am sorry that the one thing ya'll really enjoy doing has been cancelled or at least postponed.
The heat here is about unbelievable and a good dunk in the surf would be so nice. It's not to be.

Mamma Nature is not being good to you and me! LOL Our heat is going to be so high and with air you can wear in the next few days that a cold soak in the bath tub will be the highlight of our days!
Oh well, we'll get back to it and our days will be fine.
You take care, Bohunk!!
Oh man! What a pain! I hope the situation rights itself VERY soon!
