Ugh, got the grass hayed and am now in the recliner with an inhaler and a cold one. The pollen is out in force and my asthma has kicked in full bore.

Mornin' Nor Cal. I found this cool page showing the reservoir levels. Looks like it's going to be a great summer for Lake Shasta!

Check your anti-virus or something (I'm not a computer guy) because it loaded instantly for me.

I am a computer guy, and I think it was the click-tracking that is wrapped around the link when you access it through the forum. Once I stripped the click-wrap, the underlying web site worked OK.

This is the way the link is presented in the forum:

Code:

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_145850150894012&key=d6a769dd7a35593518c5c56785914b9d&libId=im0y2ran01000azm000DAakcc159t&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ford-trucks.com%2Fforums%2Fnewreply.php%3Fdo%3Dnewreply%26p%3D16139814&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fcdec.water.ca.gov%2Fcdecapp%2Fresapp%2FgetResGraphsMain.action&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ford-trucks.com%2Fforums%2F1423611-march-2016-all-topic-thread-3.html&title=Ford%20Truck%20Enthusiasts%20Forums%20-%20Reply%20to%20Topic&txt=Major%20Reservoir%20Current%20Conditions%20Graphs

This is the actual (embedded) link:

If not, then no prob.

Like I said, not a 'puter guy.

Wonderful weekend. Stayed indoors 99% of the time to play Xbox games with grand kids. LOL

Should be the same. The difference is the tracking between the link as presented, and the pure link that is embedded.

Loaded fast on mine but more importantly I can1t remember the last time Shasta actually held more water than a pond. Worth a trip to check it out. Maybe Stewart will rent us a houseboat for a GTG

At least someone appreciated the link, instead of worrying about how long it takes to load.

Didn't mean to tick you off, but after 5 minutes watching the spinning wheel, I felt compelled to comment.
But you're right. That's a nice link to very useful information.

No worries. FWIW, it takes 1 second to load at work, and about 2 at home.
