Damn that sucks... when Canyon Lake levels are up it's a blast.

  • How many ramps are open on Canyon Lake now due to low water levels??
  • What's your favorite restaurant and bar hangouts around Canyon Lake?

All public ramps have been closed on canyon lake since November 

 

was out there for Memorial Day and just eerie how empty the lake was

Shoal Creek gonna get slaughtered.

And all that water will pass Longhorn dam and head on down the river.

 

 

If LCRA could somehow unfuck themselves and finally finish the Arbuckle reservoir in Wharton County, the water passing Longhorn dam could actually still serve a purpose.. But it is delayed yet again with an opening date of "Summer 2025".

unfortunately the lakes to be on for "that life" are really LBJ and Austin, Austin isn't a lake it's stupid (but nice, close to town, and expensive), but LBJ, pretty much what those of us who live on flood prevention reservoirs really want.

Definitely, but something about 6 inch visibility hot tub water contained in a propeller eating, shallow low spot in the HC just doesn't appeal to The Dude.  I did the Lake ATX bit for a half decade and that was fun, but cruising around in a phone booth with 100 other wake boats wore a bit thin in the end.  Man I hope CL comes back some day before I'm too old.  Such a beautiful body of water when it's there.  You jump in and you don't feel like you need a shower afterwards.  Being able to see the bottom at 25 feet is pretty damned nice bonus too.

The big marina over near Hancock still has their ramp working, but you have to be a member (rent a slip) to use it.    Luckily, or maybe unluckily, I have one.  The only boats you see out there now are from the marinas and the yacht club.  On a "busy" weekend at any given time there are probably no more than 10 to 20 boats out on the entire lake.  You still see PWCs because there's a guy who keeps a bunch on the lake 24/7 and rents them out.  Calls himself the "Jet Ski Dude"

He must have some compromising polaroids of the Corps of Engineers because they don't approve anything except more outflows of water to the next subdivision.

The drought is a problem, but those jack holes are the real issue at CL.  They don't give a flying fuck.

Sattler has a handful of good restaurants.  Elio's is one (Italian).  Startzville has one good Italian joint called Gennaro's that people drive from SA, NB, and San Marcos to dine at.  If you're looking for a bar scene that's going to be Gruene.  Lots of stuff over there.  It has gotten beyond touristy, however.

Gennaro's is the real-deal.  We stay at a cabin out there from time to time, and that's a nice dinner spot.

6.2” in my part of Comal County.

It was loud. Wife was up all night. 

Props to you for being honest. I tell women 6.5” - it’s not like they have a ruler on them.  
 

Edit: never mind you’re talking about rain.

I measure from the bottom. More room for the ruler to slide back. 

Never measure from the top...there's nothing but sadness up there.

Latest report from San Antonio is four dead and several missing from the flooding. 

Something crazy happened, police say 15 cars got swept off the loop 410 access road and into the creek around 4am this morning. All at the Perrin beital area. Trucks and jeeps included.

to the point above about saturation, sandy creek flowing well on average rainfall last night. Man this is ready for a massive lake fill if we can hit triple 7’s on the slot machine.

And as I suspected, the rainfall next week has drifted southwards. If this were to verify, the lakes would get a really nice bump going into summer.

At least the LBJ and Buchanan watersheds got a few inches.

Yacht Rock talk not going away.

Oh and Kyrie is not yacht rock.  Too much synth and the chorus hits way closer to 80s anthem rock.  

Anyway, it's never going to rain again.

Yeah, Yacht Rock ended in 1983. At least that’s what I argued in my dissertation.

fair enough but cajun seems more like a UB40 version imo.

Definitely the bigger hit.  My starter wife was a Neil Diamond freak, so I ended up learning almost his entire catalog.  I've heard enough for sure.

I love Neil Diamond.  I was always okay with him but didn't really know any of his older stuff.  It wasn't until getting to know @MaxHorn and hearing Diamondbag play several times, that I really grew to love his music.

If you haven’t sung What A Fool Believes in an exaggerated Michael McDonald vocal style, are you even alive?

my 17 year old is a 70's music fan first above all else. I get plenty of Neil Diamond. Play Me gets a ton of air time, I think it's one of his all time favs. But more than that, I'm so fucking tired of the Eagles, ugh.  But hey, he's down with Hall & Oates, Eric Clapton, JB and others so it's not all bad. and to keep this thread on track we do have a yacht rock playlist for the boat.  Mine is way more chill and arguably some isn't yacht rock at all, but we enjoy it.

I'll field this one: Yes, I'm just not old AF and/or have taste.

boat culture though is a bit different taste. I mean I have a pretty refined palate for music and I'll listen the hell out of Kenny Chesney on the boat and I can't stand his music elsewhere.
