Leaves are in the early stages of turning. With the dry conditions lately, they could go in a hurry if we get some wind, which we’ve had pretty much every day. Another sign of fall—the deer are getting darker.

Lake levels have dropped a lot since mid summer.

The lids of recycling cans were wet as was the lid to the burn barrel, but I didn't find much in our gauges. So, I checked the neighbor's digital 1 & he had .03".

Had 3 :fish2: right away :cool:, then nothin for ~ 20 minutes. Then about 10-15 minutes before sunrise a little WNW breeze picked up for a bit & I got 4 more. Had 7 total when I got back to the dock. The biggest & the 2 smallest went back, so I kept 4. :happy1:

Went out :fishing: a little after 9 & found only a couple others out there. There must've been 8-10 by the time I came back in though. I had some fun with a 19" smallmouth on my 1st pass as he made 4-5 strong runs, good thing I had my drag set pretty light. He went back, then on the next to last pass I caught a 15" walleye. That 1 didn't go back. Sure was nice out there. Need to move the lift again as the lake is down another 3" since we moved it a couple weeks ago. :rolleyes:

Starting to turn, but still mostly green. I expect they’ll start to change pretty quickly in the next week or so.

Had 68 for surface temp this morning again too. Quite a few leaves came down along our drive today & Friday too, when there's been some wind. Our maple up by the garage is a little more red every day. There could be a bunch down before the colors really get going IMO.

It looked like it was snowing leaves 5 or 6 times yday, as so many were all coming down at once with that wind. We moved the lift out so only the front 1/2 of it is alongside the last 4' of dock. The wind was SW yet when we finished, ~2:30, but by 3:30 it'd went to the west, & by 5 it'd went NW. The temp had dropped 10 degrees by then too. Just shorts & the top to an old pair of long johns for me when we moved the lift & I didn't think the water was cold at all.

Haven’t heard anything about their activities recently. We had one roaming the neighborhood about a month ago, but he moved on after a couple days. My feeders will stay inside, probably until Thanksgiving, because I’ve had them busted up a few times and i know how good those bears are at finding food. I’m kind of surprised we haven’t noticed more of a problem, because the berry crop wasn’t much this year.

The neighbor came over on Thursday & said that the water level had dropped another 2 1/2" since Monday when we moved our lift. So, he was getting close to the point where his boat might not come off the lift. Luckily, his 5000# lift was in enough water that all he had to do is lower his. He's got another 6" to go now but if this keeps up our lift might not be usable as quickly as next week. If that happens, we'll be pulling the boat & dock earlier than planned, as I'm not going to put more dock back out now.  :doah:

We still have ~ 1/4 to 1/3 of our riprap under water & it was all dry this Spring when we put 54' of dock out. I got tired of fighting the high water as I couldn't hardly get the bottom up & out of the water. So, when Sis/BIL were up the 1st time, early to mid-July, we took a 10' section of dock out. That was good 'til about the end of August, but I think the lake must be down close to a 1 1/2' since then. Tim over at the Bstore said last weekend that he'd talked to somebody on Bowstring that'd told him it was down 14" over there but he was still able to use his lift. :crazy:
