Cool weather and dry. The water level is falling fast. Down two feet from yesterday, maybe a bit more. I awoke in the night to put on more clothing. Hey, babe, its still August. A few people have told me Fall is coming quickly, though I figure at least 5 more weeks. They might be right, but the geese say 5 more weeks before they even think about flying south.
Turtles are sunning themselves on stumps and leaning branches. The lunch in the parking lot folks are parked in the shade. CSX train crew going by slowly and I'll be sitting here, reading a Louis L'Amour book in about a minute.
I walked to the hardware store and to Foodland Market. I have decided to fix the cabin cruiser's flooring and to see if I can repair the stern to hold a gasoline motor. I might be able to use the cruiser to pull the raft down the Mississippi, or at least to it.
On the way back I peed in my pants, and then embarrassed myself even more because a man and his mother were inspecting my boat as I returned. I walked right into the river with my face as red as a strawberry. It is 4pm and the water has gone down another foot. Made supper with fresh garlic and new potatoes. I had a few chocolate chip cookies for desert. Thanks for the day.
Good night, daddy.
