It wasn't a pleasure but I went to the tax office over by Conroe Pub. Have your shiite together those ladies don't miss anything. I had to have bill of sale, TX inspection, weight (usually on prior registration, over 4000# needs titled), they'll give you the forms.

As usuall, I figured out a temp fix.

For $25 they will give whoever shows up a 30 day temp tag.

Good enough. I'll get another one when it is time to move it to FL. and another one when it is time to send it home.

Should be here Monday. Can't wait to run it up here. Weather is spectacular.

LAKE CONROE – As firefighters continued their battle against wildfires in West Montgomery County, the water level on Lake Conroe reached a historic low Tuesday.

The latter trend is expected to continue.

When the San Jacinto River Authority compiled its official daily lake measurement of 195.94 feet above mean sea level (msl), the state agency established a new low level for Lake Conroe. It surpassed the old record of 196.02 msl, which was set on Jan. 12, 1989, according to SJRA Deputy General Manager Jace Houston.

The record lasted only 24 hours as the low lake level fell to 195.86 msl Wednesday and then to 195.78 msl Thursday.

Tuesday’s measurement marked the first time since Lake Conroe opened in 1973 that the lake level dropped more than five feet below its normal pool elevation of 201 msl, Houston said.

Since Aug. 18, the SJRA has been releasing 150 million gallons of water from the lake daily into the West Fork of the San Jacinto River to accommodate the city of Houston’s contractual request to provide enough water in Lake Houston for drinking and to reach the intakes of the reservoir’s surface water treatment plant.

With an msl of 44 feet, Lake Houston’s lake level was at 36.4 as of Thursday – 7.6 feet below normal. That depth represents an increase since the release at Lake Conroe began last month.

Lake Houston’s msl was at 38.5 on July 1, and at 37.6 on Aug. 1.

Jace Houston said the drought conditions that have plagued Southeast Texas could be a factor regarding why Lake Houston’s water level has stabilized during the month of September.

“The lake bed may be so dry, it may be some time before the lake starts to fill up,” Houston said.

The SJRA official didn’t rule out the possibility the city of Houston might increase the amount of its water demand.

“We haven’t heard anything from the city, but it (the Lake Houston water level) has us thinking,” Jace Houston said.

Previously, the SJRA estimated evaporation and the city of release would combine in a 5 to 6 inch weekly decline of the Lake Conroe water level. However, the actual declines are closer to four inches per week, the SJRA’s Houston said.

Tim and I spent a whole summer doing that one year when the lake was down on the north end. It was a blast.

Why, you never take those off the trailer either?
