Philo, I'll be on the lake weekend of July13. Family reunion at Sampson state park. We will be camping from 7/12- 7/18. i'm bringing the motorcycles, i love the scenic rides around the finger lakes! I'll do my best to look you up, maybe we can meet for lunch at 1 of your favorite spots?
7/12 to 7/18. Got it. Are there any dates that aren't available for you? I don't imagine you would skip a family reunion event to hang with a bunch of hunters and fishermen. Let me know, and I'll post up the decision.
If anyone else is interested let me know. Nothing fancy about the meet-up; the lady jumping out of the cake is entirely optional, so I'll wait to hear from you folks.

Stanley is a very small village. Basically a hamlet, as you indicate. Geneva is a very small city, on the other hand, but the very worst parts of Geneva would be considered highlights is most cities in this country.

I burn wood in my house all winter to keep from freezing to death. The last thing I want to do during the summer is make another fire.

That was a fun evening. No one tried to climb the flag poles.
Start giving me ideas about a date for the next GTG in my area. Parker's is cool, but Vonnies Boathouse might be an option. The menu isn't quite as extensive as Parker's but the food is good, and the people are nice.

I agree 100% my friend. I've found for the most part you get back what you put out.
My wife and I are always trying to think of a new place to go visit. Geneva sounds like a good place!!!!
Let me know when you'll be in town. I'd offer you lodging but I live in a one-bedroom shack in the woods.
There are lots of nice places around here to rent for a few days.

Never been there till a couple years ago, when daughter was sent to audit Hobart college , we’d meet her for dinner , then ended up going to concert at Smith opera house , the Meet and Greet , then oldest was dating a guy from there .
Kinda neat place .
Thanks Larry. I consider central NY the first part of flyover country that politicians don't care about. Once they pass over Albany they don't care about anyone until they get to California.
What did you think of the Smith Opera House? Pretty cool building. I've played there a couple of times in bands, and the acoustics are awesome. That a place like that could even exist today in a small city is amazing. They have concerts 2 or 3 times a week all through the year, BTW. The taxpayers vote to fund the repairs and upkeep without a hiccup.

I think it's a matter of showing kindness, respect, and congeniality; and then graciously accepting the same in return. Then again it might just be the proximity to the lake. It is calming if you take the time to sit and look at it. It's a 620 foot deep hole that was dug by a giant ice cube. Sit and think about that while watching the water for an hour, and it's hard to hate on people. We're all very significant in our own worlds of family, friends, workplaces; but Seneca lake will be here long, long after we're gone.

I had to run a bunch of errands today. The lady at the post office was very helpful and friendly, as was the lady at the DMV, which is almost unheard of most places. At the gas station/convenience store a young black man held the door open for me because I tend to wobble and hobble as I walk, and I thanked him. I was right ahead of him when we left the store and I held the door for him. He said, "Thank you sir." He meant it, and I said you're very welcome.
The gal at the cash register in the convenience store knows me because that's where I buy gas, diesel, and beer, and when I came up a dime short on the beer she said I could just owe her. I drove right back and gave her the dime because I didn't want her getting into trouble for a "short" cash register. That likely wouldn't have happened because the manager knows me well enough to trust me.
Lunch at Vonnie's Boathouse Bar was interesting because there were a number of out-of-town people in there today, including a couple from NYC. We get lots of tourists during wine and leaf-peeping season, but not normally in early June. A lot of those late-season people are incredibly annoying. Limos full of SJW's. I had planned on a quick lunch but ended up staying for over two hours. I was peppered with questions about the area and we had a great conversation all along the bar. I think the NYC couple might be house-hunting right now. ;-)
I hate to introduce politics into this, but I've given this a lot of thought in the ten years that I've lived here. I think that a lot of this general friendliness is because we're a mostly Conservative community. We can disagree without being abusive and adversarial. We can discuss differences without denigrating those with whom we disagree. It's not necessary.

If the "bassholes" spent as much time fishing as they do racing around to find the next greatest spot they might actually catch something.

Have a truly blessed day, my friend!

I have reviewed my struggle with the UNDEAD gobbler...Since I can't carry a handgun ( or pepper spray) to Canada, I think I will carry a blackjack and a set of brass knuckles in my turkey vest, just in case...
Take along a Mountie next time. "We're here to help, and we answer to no one".

Father's day special from Omaha Steaks. 74% off. I thought some of you might be interested, but I didn't know if you would need a Dan Bongino code for the discount, so I used his podcast advertisement for the plug. About $200 worth of meat for 60 bucks. I bought one for my folks and one for myself.

Not a boat guy. What caused the boat to whip like that? Didn't see any other wake.
Looks to me like the boat just "skipped". It was up on plane with a very shallow hull, mostly riding on air. When the guy turned the boat it was mostly in the air. When it got back into the water during the turn the drag came alive and threw the two guys out. The hyper-motorized bass boats are like that. It's a lot like a hydrofoil race boat with an inexperienced guy at the helm.

Wear a life preserver and use a tethered disconnect switch. The life preserver will probably save you if bonk your head on the way out of the boat; and the disconnect switch will make sure that the boat stops after you're ejected. (ie, the boat won't come back to chew you up). If you're going to play in the waves also make sure the battery is firmly secured and the engine is chained to the transom. I used to do a lot of wave-hopping on Lake Ontario when I was young and stupid with a 14 Boston Whaler. I speak from experience.

Woodchuck with a rifle = 430 yards, Woodchuck with a pistol = 236 yards. Closest deer was a contact wound in a swamp. He never saw me and the processor had to dig the wad out of him.

generations of latinos have been legally living in socal for decades. The same amount of time that us irish, italians, polish have been legally living in NY. The guy literally comments about white homeless people as if they're no big deal, then complains about the latinos.
You can be anti-illegal immigration like myself and not be so quick to judge what you see with your eyes. If you don't see the issue there, you're part of the problem.
President Trump has allowed more legal immigration into this country in the last year than most any other President. He welcomes people with a solid skill set and work ethic.
Immigrants are, by definition, legal. Illegal aliens are , by definition, illegal. Why is this so hard for Liberals?

you're right. anyone who judges another based on the color of their skin is a piece of shit in my book.
It has nothing to do with the color of someone's skin. It has to do with a willingness to become an American citizen; including speaking, reading and writing the English language; and accepting the Constitution as the rule of law.

My argument is not that there isn’t a big issue with illegal immigration, I’ve been pretty clear on that.
I think it’s pretty obvious what my issue is with his post.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSo...he's not wrong, but you don't like that he said it? Interesting take.

I still have a few surviving friends who fought in Viet Nam. Their biggest fear in being pinned down for any length of time was disease, particularly bubonic plague. It was rampant in certain areas during the war. The war zone has changed, apparently.

I know almost nothing about circuit-board electronics, but it sounds like someone in the factory accidentally soldered in a fault. Glad to hear that the company is paying attention, though.
