New Project-an Ark

With all the rain we have had Tuttle Lake is close to 30 feet above pool level. It is only the sixth time in the 50 years of the lake that it has been this high and they are only letting about 200 cubic feet per second out of the tubes into the river. The water is up to the spill way and almost up to the gates. I think that '93 was the only other time it has been that high in the 16 years we have lived here.

Anyway, I'm thinking maybe I should start an ark. The only problem is that if it goes the way of most of my projects, I'll still drown.

Who needs to know what a cubit is? It is probably something close to a yard or meter, so I'll just guess. With my carpenter skills, it probably won't float anyway. It is supposed to rain again today.

We may not need it here, but you might. The water made it up to the gates on the spillway, but they opened up one of the tubes yesterday, so there is a bunch of water going out now. BTW, we were down there a couple of days ago when they were only letting out a little water and watched a guy pull in a 28 lb. carp. That was one big fish.

I've never seen a carp that big. Bet that was cool.

It was one big carp. The guy was grinning ear to ear when he finally got it pulled up out of the tubes area. He said he was using 35# test line.
