Had some fish out on Oak Hollow yesterday. Looked like they were having fun. I was in my gas fishing boat, so I stayed clear. Does anybody ever go over to Philpott for sailing? It's a crazy narrow lake, but might be fun near the dam. I've sailed Fairystone a coupla times in my Laser.

The day following Irene was beautiful, 83 degrees and howling all day. The local lake the evacuated and shut down due to Irene, opportunity lost. Dang IT

Same here in Mass, but no wind (or electricity) at all after the storm.

Finally got power a half hour ago. It's nice to be part of civilization again...

We typically loose power in the tiniest storm. We stocked up on lanterns, propane for them and the grill, battery operated toys for the kids, and so on. All in anticipation of losing our power for days. We got super lucky, as only one or two streets in about a square mile who never lost power.
