Right now Black Bayou at Hosston is so low I cannot put my boat in at my camp. Woods fires are very common and hard to fight because of the dryness. But there is hope. They are calling for a lot of rain. I will appreciate every drop of it. I am ready to start fishing. I hear the crappie calling my name.
Looks like could be more than you want headed your way on the evening news.
Well for the first time in a long time I now see rain on the Shreveport radar and it is headed this way. It is a lot of rain but then again we need a lot of rain. Makes me consider going to the camp this weekend just to sit and watch it rain.
Bring it on! I finished building my front porch 3 months ago and have been waiting for the day I could sit under it and watch it rain. (and check for leaks:biggrin)
we want to see that front porch....picture please.......Quote:

And no them poles aint crooked.... cell phone pics like to distort things... always make me have to looks twice at it too...too bad they dont make fish look bigger.
Now, that is what I call a porch. You shouldn't have any trouble with leaks for several years. Good job. Reward yourself. Take yourself fishing! LOL.Quote:

But...I used the windows as a reference when I set em! Ha-ha. Thanks
Looks like you left a little room for storage under the porch too. Close it in and put a door on it. Looks good from where I'm sittin'.
I agree with RRR, put some of the stone looking panels Like the rest of the home to really bring it out.

Yeah I intend to. Thinking about a raised flower bed in the front with the stone skirting behind it. And I finally got to watch the rain and no leaks ;)
I didn't get to watch any here as it fell overnight, 2 1/2". Right now we are at the very edge of a large area of rain that is about to cover us according to the radar. We need a bunch but I hope is nice and easy.
Great job on the porch. Back held up okay?
Just checked the gauge and it's full at 5" plus the street in front of the house is flooded. It came up around 8 more inches then receded. I just checked the radar and we are on the back edge of the rain but it's still raining hard. Hope it let's up soon.

Well it looks like my prayers for rain have been answered. The bayou is up over nine inches from when I wrote the first post. It is high enough now I can put my boat in at the camp. Now its just a matter of finding the time to go. I am sure ready to try a gray ghost.
That's good news Charlie, glad to hear it. Did the draw down help move some salvinia out.

I really wanted to go to henderson tomorrow..but i guess not.. :(
Actually Gene they did not do a draw down. We were low due to lack of rain. However the cold winter last year and diligent spraying kept the salvinia pretty much under control. Plus the carp had pretty much got the hydrilia. I am happy with the way the water looks.
Thanks and yeah lots of aleve, a good back brace, and a hard head. And making sure every lift was well calculated and careful. The minute you forget about it and go into hulk mode thats when it'll shut down the party in a hurry. Appreciate the thoughts!Quote:
