No to white lube. Yes to High Temperature wheel bearing grease. Ask at your local auto store. And, yes to the Bearing Buddy's. Also, think of he very little time your trailer is IN water.... compared to the very high temperatures and time of road travel.

Cicada. I’ve watched them emerge from their nymphal case. The nymph emerges from the ground in the evening and climb onto a tree or rock or whatever is available nearby. The final emergence is a slow process. They don’t do anything fast not even flying.

The newly emerged adult is almost entirely white and slowly (again) color up overnight. They lay their eggs in the tips of branches that brown off and die. The branch tips fall off and the newly hatched nymphs burrow into the ground

Since the cicada has a 13 - 17 year life cycle, most fish live and die never having seen one. Trout, bass and other larger mouthed fish will eat them, but once the Cicada invasion is over you might as well tuck those lures and flies away for the next 13 - 17 years.

This was in the news a few weeks ago. THIS year 2020 is the 17th one. The map provided showed their hatching from North to South every few weeks apart. It will be a very noisy year in the woods.

You might try 'lobbing' the line...like having a wad of bait on...and not wanting to 'snap' it off.

Driving with a Blonde. She sees a Brunette sitting in an old rowboat in a yard. Says, "That makes me so mad! She makes women look dumb! She doesn't even have a paddle!"

To measure water temperatures....I suggest one of the manual/non-digital swimming pool thermometers. Specifically the ones that can float OR sink...by removing the weighted (down) cap. Tie a thin nylon string to it and use a Sharpie Pen to make depth marks on the string. Under 10$ at pool supply stores. You might find one in the pool section of your local Wall-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes , etc. They are rugged and last years and years sitting in chlorinated pool water.
