[Rhodes22-list] Rod Ellner, fish locator skimmer transducer

[Tootle]

Rod,

I got an Eagle fish finder (a Lowrance brand) instead of just a depth gauge. 
I put the skimmer transducer forward under V berth without epoxing it to
hull.  It appears to work o.k.  I did not want a permanent location until I
see how well it works.

On Lake Hartwell, we need to watch for underwater trees now days.  I figured
this would do better than just a depth meter.  Now I have to find our
underwater forest they are all talking about.  

The underwater forests are apparently causing issues of people trying to
moor their boats in open water rather than tied to docks which sit on land.

As Rummy said they are expecting the lake to go down another six feet by the
end of the year.  That gets the lake down to something they call dead water. 
But it will be surface water then.  We may get to see the original Savannah
River next year.  Unfortunately Rummy's estate is so far back that he will
have to walk a mile to see it.  I am waiting to see if he outfits a golf
cart with balloon tires to make the trek.

It is interesting to see tree stump in places you did not expect.  For
informational purposes, I still have 20+ feet of water under my boat slip. 
I am not a scuba person, therefore I cannot tell if there are any tree
stumps under me. 

It looks like a great time for the conservationists to clean up the place. 
There is debris and junk and who knows what all over the shore line.  Maybe
the correct machine would be Herb's Duck?

Addendum by Walter Williams:
Wackonomics can help us understand what some people call the income
distribution. The logical extension of wackonomic thought is that the
unequal or unfair distribution of income is the handiwork of a dollar dealer
who distributes dollars. The dollar dealer might deal one person a million
dollars a year while dealing most others a mere pittance like $10, $20 or
$30 thousand a year. Thus, the reason why some people are wealthy while
others are poor is because the dollar dealer is a racist, sexist, a
multi-nationalist, or just plain mean. Economic justice requires a
re-dealing of the dollars, income redistribution or spreading the wealth,
where the government takes the ill-gotten gains of the few and returns them
to their rightful owners. Wackonomics might have a greed-based explanation
for income inequality. There is a pile of money called income and greedy
people got there first and took their unfair share. Similarly, economic
justice requires a redistribution of income.
