92 degrees with heavy humidity is not all that graet either when in continues into the night.
75 degrees would be welcome.
...and with all this hot weather, it is not safe to swim in a Florida lake because of the amoebas that swim up your nose and infect the brain, causing a not too nice death.

Oh who said anything about swimming? There is relics to be found!

I swear the sun is stronger every year... perhaps I am getting older... but small doses of outside go a long way.

Damn its hot... in for it next few months with this start.

Electric bills will show it as well.

It's been a cold spring here in WI.

The lake I have an easement on is 65' deep, about twenty feet deeper than most lakes in the area so it warms slower. Usually my lake is the last lake the bluegills spawn on and usually they have started by now. At the rate the temperature is going up they won't spawn till mid July which is about a month later than average.

It's been nice sleeping weather though, except the farmers are not all planted cause it's been too wet, so they might have trouble sleeping. The women are still heavily clad. No sun tans yet here unless you have been traveling.

I said it wouldn't be long before we would be complaining its hot.

Bill i have a dug ring from a few years ago that would give that one a run for the ugly title.

Caught a hopper on camera. It let me get up to two feet of him, before he decided to bunny hop the heck outta there.

Oh who said anything about swimming? There is relics to be found!

In the St Johns River, the Union Hospital riverboat MAPLELEAF was found with an abundance of relics from the War of Northern Aggression, and there are other sunken river blockade runners in its tributaries, and in the Ocklawaha River, mastodon bones and teeth, native American arrow heads, items from Desoto have been found, and there were Seminole War forts and two Confederate forts, and the Marshall Plantation that was raided by the Union, March 10, 1865, and a riverboat that sunk when its boiler exploded-some whiskey shot glasses have been found in that bend where the Ocklawaha meets the Silver River upriver from Silver Springs.
There are also Carmichael Whiskey Bottles from the Ocala distillery owned by the man that created Silver Springs as an attraction with glass bottom boats.
Then there is the Peace River that os known for its meg teeth.
Sometimes swimming and diving are the best way to find relics.

This is how translucent my first arrowhead looks in the sun.
