I didn&#8217;t go where I planned to go because, once again, the low tide was at least 4 inches (10 cm) short of the desired level. I wish I had ten or twenty years of tide level history to compare to current tide levels so I could quantify the changes. I do now have a real time tide level gauge that I can monitor on-line, so I can see that I&#8217;m not just missing the low tides; they just aren&#8217;t happening very often.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-28_webshort1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4518\" src=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-28_webshort1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-28_webshort1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-28_webshort1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-28_webshort1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-28_webshort1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mudlover.com\/theswamp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-28_webshort1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Enough doom &amp; gloom!

I&#8217;m off to a really late start. I sure hope things improve, but I&#8217;m not getting my hopes up. I know most of you aren&#8217;t into my bondage clips, but I&#8217;m probably going to be producing more <a href=\"\/btb\/\">clean bondage<\/a> than anything else, because I&#8217;m not dependent on tides and wind. I&#8217;m almost finished with a new privacy fence I&#8217;ve been building (my neighbor cleared all of his trees), so I&#8217;ll be able to shoot some video in the clay-pit, soon. I&#8217;ve also been working on the mud pit in the woods, but that has been a real struggle.
