    At least he didn't shut down an airport for hours so he could get a haircut on AF1. Would you be as upset if Obama wanted to attend a game? Because the security concerns would be the same. Secret Service and local law enforcement make those decisions. Not the president. If the peeps can't...

    Weather

    Definitely a front rolling through southern LI. High winds and some rain. Very clear dark cloud line and jump in wind velocity. Batten down the hatches.

    What has the Government done to prevent another 9/11 from happening again ?

    No worries. They've created a multi-billion dollar bureaucracy that will give you a prostate exam to make sure your @$$ can sit in an airline seat, and generate revenue because you anchored too close to some random outlying drawbridge. BTW, how do you think things will go when the grossly...

    Steve Park was climbing the ladder about the same time I was a crew chief at Riverhead. We were exploring Sportsman class and the emerging Supertrucks, looking for a way to move to the bigger, or at least different, tracks just around the time he was moving towards The Show. For me, after my...

    Back in a former life on a local NASCAR team we had an expression; A win, is a win, is a win. Race was ended for weather? Your car was in front when they ended it. You won. It's not unearned or 'with an asterisk.' Your car was in front. You won. Congratulations on your win!

    Almost as long a day today. I borrowed a 16" 40V Ryobi chainsaw from a family member to get the bigger pieces. I ended up leaving it a little over four feet for future options. If I can come up with a suitable tabletop I'll knock it down to around three feet and bolt that to it for now...

    Unfortunately I'm forced to agree about the other tree. It's going to suck to lose that one because it's such great shade for the yard. I'm definitely looking for a package deal. At least four trees and six stumps to grind. I've also got a couple of Junipers that are just enormous and have...

    The half-dead maple tree turned up fully dead this year, so I finally gave in and started taking it down. Sort of "before" picture. ^^^ More of a halfway pic I guess. :( This is where I ran out of saw and had to stop. I got the lawn cleared and about half of the cuttings broken down...

    Steeks. Not sure I'm thrilled with Butcher Box. They're usually okay, but sometimes disappointing. Anybody use a different supplier they're happy with. Yes, I'm familiar with Omaha, and local butchers. If I was the meal planner I'd always shop local. Alas, I'm just the cook. :(

    Hurricane Awareness

    So, reviewing the list,... I've got no immediate family, but two friends and a neighbor that have potentially earned a new nickname. Cool. 8-)

    Bass Pro Shops

    Since I've only been to a Cabela's or Bass Pro about twice I may misunderstand but my impression is they they're charging list price for everything. So, other than one-stop convenience and theater I can't see it being a significant threat to my local tackle shop. Dick's OTOH, well, they can't...

    Its Windy

    Well,... Thanks to the sound of what I thought were squirrels on my garage roof, I discovered that my diagonally opposite neighbor's maple tree was beating the $#it out of my roof shingles. So, time with a pruning pole and a hand clipper we've reduced the immediate threat. I really wish I...
