Doing my usual pre-departure clean up/errand routine today, as I'm flying back to New Orleans tonight to go back to work. Normally I'm not too thrilled about this day, and while I'm not giddy this time, knowing I have 4 weeks off at the end of this work trip is making this much, much better.

Ain't there a huge wave working its way south down the mighty missasip?
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #181: Holidaze

I am not in the mood to cook dinner tonight. I took something out, I just don't have the motivation to prepare it. Part of it is because I'm not home yet. I think I'll stop at Kelly's Roast Beef instead.

Oh ya. Luckily we're in NOLA currently and will be going to mobile and North from there. Won't deal with Mississippi flood levels for probably atleast 10 days, maybe 2 weeks.

On the Mississippi, wouldn't the most you have to worry about is just staying in the right channel and avoid whatever large debris, like a house, barn, loose boat, or tree is floating in the water??

Mobile isn't on the Mississippi.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #181: Holidaze

Anyone ever been probably sick, but not sick? Like, you had a mild sore throat (for 24 hours), and minor aches, but feel perfectly fine?

Asking for a friend...

No. I'll elaborate further when I have free time, about to go get on the boat.

Edit: the channel conditions change by the week, pretty much. Right now, substantially increased currents, logs/trees/debris can mess a propeller up if it's large enough. Not to mention other traffic.

In the summer, the water level can drop 30-40 ft from where things are now. Silt is building up currently, creating sand bars that we won't know about until the water drops. USCG resets the buoys periodically, and generally do a good job but some places will have missing or old buoys that aren't accurate.

There's a decent amount that goes into it, in order to operate safely and minimize risk (can never eliminate it).
