We have a place out there and pass that row of houses on the way to the Ritz/ sand bar. Nice pads.

One of many for sure. We are in the process of moving out there now. Our daughter got selected in the lottery at Lake Oconee Academy and we had a short time period to prove residency so we picked up a condo for a year. 1 of about 5 total rentals (homes, apartments, condos, etc) in all of Greene County when we began our search. That was a bit shocking to us to say the least, but at the same time it's exactly what we're looking for after living in metro ATL for years. Hopefully we'll be able to find something on the water over the next year, although it has to be on the Greene County side to stay in the school. There's definitely a lot of amazing properties on Oconee, but the price comes with them so it's going to be a challenge to get on the water. Hopefully, we'll cross paths at some point this summer. We're hoping to be moving in by end of June.

Congratulations on LOA. Fantastic school. I look forward to seeing you out there. We are over in Cuscowilla and absolutely love Lake Oconee. I'm sure you will as well. Please give me a shout if you ever want to meet up or need any info. We are out at our place there nearly every weekend.

Here is something new I've learned about the boat, few days ago while installing a backup bilge pump:
Those support plates/pieces at the bottom of the stern/bilge - that I assumed were plywood embedded in fiberglass - actually are ALUMINUM - NOT WOOD!

That discovery made me very happy about my boat, albeit made the job more complicated, lol.
Also explains abundance of mysterious aluminum shavings in those new bilges...

But overall - not bad! Bravo Yamaha - those new hulls are really "no wood".



And here is the pump - installed:

This past weekend, the annual spring turkey hunt started, It was youth weekend, and the adult season starts today. Many of my adult friends, who hunt, have brought their young hunters to bag their first bird on my farm. I have seen many of them succeed. Although I post my land, I do allow first timers with their parent to hunt in certain areas. The key is to ask first. No youth hunters this year, as most have grown up and are starting their own families. Opening morning this guy and the girls came out and did not care that I was there, in the truck. Different story when I got out and tried to get closer.
Its great to see the smiles on all the kids and wives who were successful hunting turkey and deer here.

Unfortunate for me, @zipper - I just saw more turkey in your pics than I saw all season down here in deep south Alabama.

Glad everyone had a great time with stories and memories to tell.

@Bennie We have a pretty good population in the area, watched 3 toms all winter (tracks in the snow) and two competing about 3 weeks ago for this territory. We have, in my fields, about six to eight hens now. I look forward to seeing the young as they converge this summer. I have counted as many as 4 hens with their young in a group that was 36 working their way across the fields. Its pretty cool to watch, as growing up in the 60s and 70s there were no turkeys here.

Went out around 10 am on Sunday for brunch at a local place. It was a bit foggy but hey, it'll lift by the time we're done, right?


Um, nope! Got worse. Time to break out the Navionics app...

Looks like a 3 phase service for something industrial.

Nice to know there still is sunny blue sky somewhere!.... Escaping weeks of rain in STL area, with some serious flooding going on now where I normally boat.


I won't see the outside of a medical center in the next few days anyway, but all you FL guys are really roughing it out here, lol.
(EDIT: Here for work, not treatment.)

S-N double O-P, Snoop Dogg last night at Sunfest

How was it? I had tickets to see him this past Sunday in Charlotte, and ended up giving them away. We had just went down for Neil Diamond on Friday and my wife had to work early on Monday.

 

[KXCam22]

Here's this springs project. A pulp machine drive. Almost $1 million installed. I have 3 more weeks to get it done. Cam

Nice @KXCam22
Whose equipment? Allen Bradley?
Do you guys use cable tray for most of your wiring methods?
