It's September already.

That's how it was for us in Lino, Randy. That poor pump would run non-stop after any rain much less a big rain. Some rains part powered it. Last summer we had to pull all the carpet because of that. We had more rain today, but at least it drains fast here. Sand for dirt, but a very high water table.

Good morning everyone!
Hit the river yesterday and had a great time. Tried cruising from Lakeland down to Hastings and then up into the Twin Cities on the Mississippi. Never been that way before, and we ran into a lock shortly after turning West in Hastings. There were barges blocking the way, and after waiting 30 minutes we gave up.
Turned around and decided to see if we could make it to Red Wing before we ran out of time and had to head back. Stopped into the fuel dock at Treasure Island for a bathroom break before running into another lock. Process of locking through to the other side could take over an hour depending on traffic, and at this point it was almost 4:00, so we turned around and headed back.
Total of about 78 miles, which took 16 gallons of gas. We all think trucks are thirsty, but this little boat can't even get 5 MPG!
