Jeffro you should find out about being a patrol boat in key west, than you can run down 50 foot CG cutters and tell them they are inside a closed race course and that they have to leave and then they can pull the covers off of there 50cal deck guns and you can show them how fast your boat runs in the other direction in the rough :) |

It was worth it though to blow by the tourists in the middle of the city. There were many boatloads of cameras pointed at the Attention Getter that day. :kiss: Driver is picking up my Dually and trailer in the next few days. :/ |

Unfortunately after further inspection, the boat is starting it's journey home to TX. Further investigation shows a broken drive coupler to go with the busted upper.

He was all ready on his way here to take it to FL. I jsut sent him home instead. Maybe Mike can fix it in time and you can bring it to KW and pay for the diesel in trade for your half of the hotel room :coolcowboy: |
Recently, residents in Montgomery County clamored for a second water source to complement Lake Conroe. And one exists, but the purpose of the Lewis Creek Reservoir is decidedly different.
Constructed in 1967, the Lewis reservoir wasn’t built to serve as a surface water storehouse. Nor was it designed to attract boating enthusiasts. In fact, the reservoir covers only 1.38 square miles of land between FM 1097 and Longstreet Road, west of Willis. Instead, the reservoir’s role is to meet the electrical needs of Entergy Texas’ approximate 270,000 customers in the Montgomery. That is why when it comes to water, the Lewis Creek Reservoir takes precedent over its bigger brother, said Entergy spokeswoman Jill Smith. The reservoir has a capacity of 16,400 acre feet of water – well below the 300,000 acre-feet of water in Lake Conroe. But the drought of 2011 has Entergy pumping water out of Lake Conroe and into Lewis Creek Reservoir. The Beaumont-based utility company needs the extra water to make certain Entergy Texas can operate its two natural gas-fueled turbines. “We have to maintain a level of operating capability,” Smith said. Entergy Texas isn’t the only group shipping water out of Lake Conroe. Since mid-June, the SJRA has released 150 million gallons of water daily into Lake Houston. The release is part of an agreement between the SJRA and the city of Houston. Entergy pays the San Jacinto River Authority 20 cents for each 1,000 gallons it uses to drive the turbines. Twenty-nine cents is SJRA’s standard raw water rate – effluent water is used by a number of golf courses – but Entergy gets a price break for treating its own wastewater, SJRA Deputy General Manager Jace Houston said. “What Entergy is doing – pumping that wastewater – is pretty common,” he said “They don’t do this every day unless it’s needed.” Entergy is restricted by contract to pump no more than seven million gallons into the Lewis Creek Reservoir each day. The withdrawal from Lake Conroe is “insignificant,” said Blake Kellum, SJRA Lake Conroe Division manager. |

Not really sure where they get their water from. |

Since I have a real job and can afford to fix my ride, I'll let you grease monkeys get back to turning wrenches while I'm having a beer at the island tomorrow! :D

it only gets better.....
LAKE CONROE – The city of Houston increased its demand for water Friday, ordering an additional 10 percent from Lake Conroe. The release rate from the Lake Conroe dam has be raised to 165 million gallons per 24-hour period. The previous rate has been 150 million gallons a day since the withdrawal began on Thursday, August 15. The new release rate begins today. The engineering staff for the city of Houston announced the purpose of the increase is so the city can fully utilize its 66,667 acre-feet of water allowed by the agreement between the San Jacinto River Authority and the city of Houston. While the SJRA purchased all of Houston’s water rights for an 80-year-period starting in 2016, Houston retains its water rights until then, or when the SJRA begins using water from the lake. The city of Houston has until Dec. 31 to utilize all of its water permitted in 2011. The SJRA staff has estimated the previous release rate of 150 mgd would result in an approximately drawdown of a half-inch per day. Increasing the release to 165 mgdi would raise the estimate to approximately one-20th of an inch per day. The actual measured lake level drawdown has been approximately 17 inches for each of the past two months. That is slightly less than what was estimated when evaporation included, according to SJRA Deputy General Manager Jace Houston Assuming no rainfall at all, the staff estimates the lake level will drop at a rate of 1 to 1-1/2 feet per month. The lake level at Lake Conroe Friday was 193.41 feet below the mean sea level of 201. |

Does this also mean that after 2016, we don;t have to worry about them taking water any more, or does it just mean that SJRA can sell it to someone else. I guess I have been gone to long. Better get those boats out of the water while you can........ |
