2021 First batch of green beans from the garden. 5 quart jars in the pressure canner. Once a steady rattle 25 min.

My garden is not doing as well as expected. My tomatoes got blight again. My beans are just starting to come. My cabbage cauliflower and brussel sprouts aren't doing anything. Eggplant nothing. Couple zuçchinis no yellow squash plants are late . No cukes. My swiss chard and collard greens are looking good.. Beets coming. Corn sucks. Okra first time coming looking good. Green peppers a few. Garden 35x70 not doing what I want but the rain ain't helping.

Refreshing beer

Darien is nice I got family there.

I dont like rice either so we substitute cauliflower rice. I will have to try this.

Schroon Lake is also nice. We stay at the Maple Leaf Motel.

I had the mini 14 XGI I got from someone who was hurting for money. It was 308 caliber. Sweet little set up. Had both wooden and synthetic collapsible stock. Non NY compliant so I got rid of it. Didnt want the hassle. Sent it to my cousin in ohio for 650 to add to his collection.

Anyone ever been? How is it? Is it a big event like a fair. Ive been to the one in booneville. Me the wife and kids are thinking about going Friday for a day trip. I got a friend who has a food trailer and will be there.

Rudy's on the lake good food and make sure to toss some stones lol the ice cream place next door is good too!

Not for team dinner but hit the Oswego sub shop. There legit! 65 varieties of subs and wrap plus onsite bakery for sub rolls.

I will have to try that thank you.

I didnt brine this time it was a spare of the moment. What do you brine with and for how long? I did hit them with some creole butter injection half way through smoking.

I love fishing for and catching and eating blue gills and sunnys. They taste sweet. Plus when you get into a school they just keep biting lol.

I love fishing buck pond and under the trussle into rainbow lake. Buck pond for pike and bullhead and rainbow lake for walleye. Did you grow up up here?

Well Last night was uneventful not even a bit. We wanted to fish our normal spot at buck pond campground in onchiota but no waterfront campsites available. So we found a nice spot on franklin falls outside of bloomingdale. Was all set up by 8pm fire poles and lanterns cant forget the ruby red kolsh's. We fished till 11 not one bite but it was a beautiful night loons sounding off. When I catch em I either hog dress bullhead or I just get the boneless filets. I prepare them with flour and old bay fish seasoning and deep fry them. We make fish tacos with them or eat them like a perch fry. I've also used them in a fish chowder too. I need to find em before the water warms up. Last year I started in mid april and fished through memorial day. Ive been laid up do to injuries so last night was the first time this year. June 15 frogging season.
