In 1975 I bought my lake house. That's the one I have mentioned about it being a "tear down" that I fixed up to live in for fifteen years.

Anyway there was a bad drought in 1976 and the lake went down. Its one of the simple joys of living on a headwaters lake. There was no lake higher in the County so no cow manure came downstream. Bad news was there was stream to have ANY water come downstream.

I had a terrible mosiquito problem. There was a swamp in the backyard. With the drought, it dried up, My Nephew came out and dug out a hole and put in a treated lumber box with a septic tank pump in it. By chooseing that type of pump it could handle small twigs and leaves and pump water up hill and then by gravity out. It was a simple system. I had an extention core and when it rained I pluged it in and it ran all night and then I let the sun dry the last part. That really cleared up the mosqutoes.

So that drought gave me a lemon and I made lemonaide.

Use this lemon to build those seawalls and other projexcts that may need REALLY down water this winter and now for 482 projects.

I got 0.20 inch of rain about 1:30 today. It was accompanied by some strange loud noises coming from the sky but it has been so long since I head this I forgot what it is called.
