I measured the water temp at the tunnel bridge about 4 PM on Friday-
72 degrees. *About 2 miles down stream it was 76. *On Saturday, about
the sametime of day, and the front passed it was 64 at the tunnel

I bought Jeff Buffenmeyers place over they weekend. *Now I'm a trailer

The only fleets you got is phosphate of soda. :-)

The temp in the panhandle of NE (that's Nebraska for the
geographically challenged in the Northeast US) was at freezing last
night. I'm a thinking we're in the downhill slide to Winter.

Saw some fish doing that same thing one year 'bout this time. They
were nailing slate drakes.

Congrats on the trailer.
