Looks to be deep enough to support fish. Could be Norm’s wintering hole.

We all want to get out. Just concerned about safety.

Rock River gage in Sterling is reading 649.86ft this morning. That sounds pretty bad. I looked into it further and it said the gage was off due to ice. Still sounds pretty bad for this time of year.

Sounds like DANGER to me.

Buy a new one if you were happy with it. Why look further?

Signed.

March 16 NW Region Breakfast Meet - Cancelled due to lack of interest.

Sorry for the late notice. We're at the Cherry Valley Cafe this month. Click on the link above for more info. Let me know.

I have the same problem with a pair only lasting a season two at most. I just figure it's because I use them constantly and they never really get a chance to dry out. Maybe try going over the seams with a small bead of shoe-goo when you get a new pair and before you use them. I'm about at the point of just buy two pair of cheap hiking type boots at wallmart.

Attend March Hearing on the Middle Fork! Riverbank Stabilization and Water Quality Certification Click to Write a Letter to Governor Pritzker Dynegy Midwest Generation has applied for Section 401 Water Quality Certification for impacts associated with their massive riverbank stabilization project on the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River. This includes placing over 22,000 cubic yards of rip-rap and other fill along 2,000 linear feet of the right descending bank of the Middle Fork. Fill would extend over 30 feet into the river channel. Construction would involve digging up to 8 feet of riverbed and excavating into riverbanks contaminated with coal ash chemicals, potentially sending contaminated sediments downstream. The river would either be closed to paddlers during 6 months or more of construction or paddlers would be required to portage over 1/3 mile around the construction site. This massive project will harm the river. Dynegy's project will forever leave a visual scar on the otherwise natural river corridor, degrade water quality, and have devastating economic consequences for the operator of the canoe and kayak livery in Kickapoo State Park.

Go a head and let Mark have it.

I might be interested in that.

It's best to buy your tickets in advance as soon as possible. Tickets sales really increase the last two weeks heading in to the Blowout. Hope to see you there!

Even if Tim doesn't show?

Happen to know if Jude is up for breakfast this Saturday?

Sorry to hear that. Hope all goes well. Let us know.
