  1. Beautiful country. Hoe you get it but watch out for these guys.
  2. Good mount but that is one ugly deer.
  3. Without a doubt. What they endured abroad and home is truly amazing. Compared to the perils of today like where did I put my cell phone; those men & women built the foundation of this country and we wouldn't be where we are today if not for them as far as I am concerned.
  4. Right now the senate is in a dead lock and not getting anything done. There is no majority because one of the republican senators got called up for active duty so they don't have the swing and are refusing to even listen or vote. Our tax dollars at work again. It probably won't make it through this session but I am sure he and his cronies will be pushing it again in the next session. I hope "we" all remember these things when it comes time to vote in the primaries and keep him off the ticket or at least vote him out in November. Here's to ya Cuomo
  5. Rob I can relate. About everything that can go wrong has and it doesn't seem to get better from day to day. The important thing to remember is it is all part of life the we all deal with at one time or another. Just hang in there and figure out another meaningful that both of you will appreciate to celebrate the occasion. Just remember "for better or worse, for richer, or poorer, and sickness and in health". That is what it is all about. Good Luck

  7. That's why I said to pound the stakes from side to side before tying to pull them. Besides if he plans on using them for wall hangers in won't make to much difference. I have seen it done with no damage. You just need to use a constant pull once they are loose. The connecting "S" hook could also be cut or straightened enough to remove it from the stake or chain.
  8. Another method if it is a stake. You can use the trap itself as a means to pull.
  9. Usually if you can dig down 2-3" so you can access the top of the stakes and hit them with a hammer from side to side a few times they will loosen up enough to pull them straight out. I have used a claw hammer to get them out but one of these work better especially for the pounding.
  10. Chevys only appear to be slow. The have a tendency to go slower as to not hit a broken down ford along the road. All kidding aside Ford does make a decent truck. One of my most dependable was a Ford 150 with a straight six.
  11. Here's wishing you the very best...Happy Birthday
  12. An alarm would be nice if the freezer goes down but a easier solution to your problem is a bungie cord. We have a freezer that sometimes the door doesn't quite close enough to seal the door. I hooked a bungie from the back to the door handle to assure it is sealed each time. All you have to do is teach everyone that each time something is removed from the freezer to hook the bungie and you are good to go. Kind of redneck but saves looking for a key every time the freezer is opened.
  13. Those would be "Ford" bugs. The later the model the more that hit your truck. A chevy could drive by and not get a one
  14. Not for nothing but if the breaker is on there is always power to the hot side. The switch or dimmer completes the circuit in the on position and lights the bulb(s)
  15. Happy birthday...may dreams of predators be dancing in your head.
  16. I have owned quite a few brand name trimmers and without a doubt this is the best. Starts easy, very dependable, and plenty of trimming power. You can add a brush cutter blade and cut some pretty heavy stuff and it comes with a 5 yr. warranty. I am starting my 6th year with mine and it runs just as good as the day I bought it. I would not hesitate to buy another. With Father's day coming there will probably be some sales on them. ECHO SRM-225 String Trimmer, 21.2CC, 17 In. Cut Width
  17. I use the same ones only in .22 shot.
  18. Had a friend move down there and started a little lawn mowing business to earn some cash. He said he got on the mower on the road and would not get off until he got back to the road because of the snakes. He said if ran out of gas he would sit there till someone came along to help. That alone would keep me from moving to most of the southern states. In Tennessee, most snakebites occur between the months of April and October when the weather warms up and more people are out of doors. The snake responsible for the most bites in Tennessee is the copperhead, a snake with a comparatively mild venom. The other venomous snakes native to Tennessee are the cottonmouth, timber rattlesnake and pigmy rattlesnake
  19. Happy Birthday to bad it was so freakin hot!!
  20. I along with many others feel your pain. My taxes have gone up over 100% since we built the house and we just got hit with another $20,000 assessment increase saying that doesn't mean taxes will be increasing ha ha . Being from NY I can't imagine anywhere else I would be willing to relocate to and call home. Home is where the heart is and regardless of where you live that will never change.
  21. DEC and Ag & Markets Release CWD Risk Minimization Plan: DEC has partnered with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and Cornell University’s Animal Health Diagnostic Center to develop a comprehensive plan to prevent CWD from being introduced into New York. The goals of the plan are 1) keep CWD infectious material and infected animals out of New York 2) prevent exposure of CWD infectious material to wild white-tailed deer, moose and captive cervids in New York and 3) provide information and education to inform the public of CWD risks and the threat posed by CWD. In 2005, CWD was confirmed in five deer from two captive breeding facilities in Oneida County. DEC and Ag & Markets executed a swift and coordinated response among several agencies to contain the cases to a small area. More than 47,000 deer have been tested statewide since 2002, and there has been no reoccurrence of the disease since 2005. DEC, Ag and Markets, captive cervid facility owners, hunters, meat processors, and taxidermists need to do everything we can to prevent this fatal disease from being reintroduced into New York. To learn more about CWD, the CWD Risk Minimization Plan, and ways you can help prevent its introduction into New York, visit the Chronic Wasting Disease webpage on DEC's website.
