electro52's Journal

My "DS" family. I am still at work and have ample time to write because I am siting here half-naked while my clothes are being dried. We have people who are going up and down the river checking for muddy water and other pertinent conditions which are pleased to announce there hasn't been anything to cause alarm. The man working today was concerned because he saw bubbles. Was asked to go and assist him. It was a beautiful day to ride the river. Got a great shot of a blue Heron perched on a tree protruding out of the water (will try and get it in my profile). In fact I took some awesome shots on our travel. Getting back to the boat ramp I offered my help in getting the boat to shore while my fellow coworker went for the truck/trailer. I put on his waders about three feet in length, stepped out of the boat and proceeded to guide the boat to shore unaware of the dip in the river. At that point the river was about three feet-four inches. The rest you can picture in your mind. Bad part is once your waders fill with water, the water has nowhere to go and become dead weight. Slowly but surely we got the boat loaded and went up the ramp. I had to have help in getting the waders off due to the suction of the water. And as you can imagine about a gallon of water came out of each boot. Luckily we hav a laundry room here and all my clothes from waist down are now in a dryer. I felt like something out of the Three Stooges. A lot of people were standing around and I swore I heard some snickering.

     Anyway, it has been a good day. The soaked clothes were well worth the trip on the river. I pray you all had a good Sunday and kept a little drier than myself. Rest up for the week ahead and God bless y'all!  James
