What's the water temp and what are they catching?

Water temp last week was reported as mid-60's, but we didn't measure it right at the cabin. It was comfortable for swimming, especially in the early morning when the air was cooler than the water. Didn't fish and didn't see anyone's catch; the lake is noted for big lake trout since it is over 300 feet deep in the south end.
 
But it's a DRY heat --

Leaving Bakersfield on the train north and before we left the station we have already passed two freight trains full of oil going the other way.
 
Difference between F1 and Nascar --

When it rains, F1 puts on different tires and keeps racing; NASCAR puts on car covers and parks.

My Dad's biggest buck, tied onto his car for the trip home, with the farmhouse where he grew up in the background. The house got indoor plumbing during his lifetime and electricity in 1947. This picture was taken in 1950 or so.

As a kid traveling with the family across the New Jersey turnpike, I always preferred deer strapped to the roof, rather than the hood or trunk, that way the dripppng blood was way more visible and gruesome running down the windshields and windows than just the fenders. Good times.

I always thought that was what those fenders were designed for.
 
There will be a total solar eclipse on August 21. The path of totality crosses the United States from coast to coast. In Salem, Oregon, near the center of the shadow, hotel rooms are nearly sold out, and those that offer rooms have quadrupled their usual prices. The Coast Starlight and Cascades Amtrak trains are sold out north and south through Salem on the 22nd, and have limited fare options on the 20th and 21st.
