    Congrats to her.

    Oh, we will beat it. May come out limping a little after the fight.

    In my 50 years of studying streams, I have noticed most have filled in and become wider. Big changing floods like this may help since most were carved by melting glaciers flooding the landscape.

    I have the cream and have started using it this week. Feels and looks like a mild sunburn. Thanks for the support. Looking at others around me, I still realize how lucky I am to only have the problems I suffer. Others have it so much worse.

    Week 2 of radiation treatment in St. Louis, all seems well. Neck is feeling like a sunburn, it has its own little glow about it. Dose 6 nailed my beer taster glands and salt sense. Other taste buds are still there. I am still able to do normal activity, just have to protect the neck. According to the docs, this should be the last normal week, pain should start coming along with treatment damage. Enjoying the city life. New people every day looking for a home.

    Radiation only, no chemo. No infection risk other than tooth decay or thrush in mouth. Have to protect head and neck from sun.

    I have fished Hamilton a few times. Tough lake. Top end is a cold water discharge lake the supports trout over half of the year. Lower end is typical warm water fishery. But every bit of the banks are developed almost. And during the summer it is a ski fest. That being said, the trout can be fun when they are there. And you can catch some fish as long as your are there before Memorial Day and after Labor Day.

    My maters are yellow and sickly. Need more dry warm days and warmer nights. Snow peas are putting on. Picking a few strawberries, new patch did not produce this first year. Cucumbers, squash, and beans are up finally. Not sure how this is going to work this year, next five weeks I will only see the garden on the weekends since I am staying in St. Louis for the treatments during the week. First week down and feeling normal so far. Watering may be a problem, better half not much of a green thumb.

    True, they start at the Ozark Plateau and dig down from there into the ancient sediments.

    There should be no added taxpayer dollars unless the Feds kick in support money. MDC operates on a fixed sales tax plus license fees to fund their operation. Cleanup in the State Parks and Federal Rivers will cost us. Paying for all of the flood damaged homes and businesses will raise our insurance rates.

    The sand is always there, it gets mixed in with organic soil and looks like dirt. When it gets stirred up in turbulent water, the lighter organics float off and the heavier sand settles out. The clay floats off too, that is what makes all of the muddy water.

    Looking at the Facebook page, people are still fishing at Montauk. One pic shows the runs by the Mill flooded. No mention of major damage I can see.

    Meramec does not hatch, they just hold and raise trout from other places. Montauk and Bennett hatch and raise. The only report I could find was the Salem paper had a blurb about damage to campground and some hatchery damage. Mo State Park web shows the park closed thru May 8 due to flood damage.
  14. jdmidwest
    All I have seen is some damage reported. No specifics as to extent.

    Probably have to upgrade or replace most of them after the flooding anyway.

    Back on track. Clearwater Lake ran over its emergency spillway for first time in history Monday. http://www.kfvs12.com/story/35288742/watch-impact-of-water-from-clearwater-dam-on-rte-hh-in-wayne-co-mo

    Did you hit a bump?
  18. jdmidwest
    WOW, 2 Rivers under water. I saw footage Sat of water near bottom of the Hwy 19 bridge at Greer. It was over the bridge at Hufstedler's at Hwy 160 on Sat too.
  19. jdmidwest
    Glad to hear that. Good luck over there.

    Just saying, it is bound to happen. I did hear a report that they are gettin killed off by large numbers in the TN river system. Something down there they are allergic too. Wappapello topped emergency spillway and washed out T road. Another record for that lake.

    But every big flood helps the Asian Carp move up further into the watersheds.
  22. jdmidwest
    Now it looks like may be another record crest on the Mississippi too. They may close 55 at Meramec Bottom again. May have to find new route to the city for treatments.

    Pickwick Spilling all gates the other day was not as impressive. Table Rock is a little higher, seems like more pressure coming out when they open gates. TVA seems to do a better job maintaining the river system than USACE. But they did not have to deal with record flooding.

    Looks like it will now be called Camping and Boating World. They got Overton's too. http://www.stltoday.com/business/local/camping-world-led-group-wins-bankruptcy-auction-for-gander-mountain/article_3291c21f-16a8-5ae3-bf6e-0f5c93d5176f.html

    I loved the creek until a drought hit it 10 years or so ago. It is a losing stream that went dry. It has not been the same since. We came in from the river 2 years ago and went up a ways. Not any big fish to speak of. Back in the day, we could hit it after a morning of trout on 11 pt at Greer and catch a large number of bass.
