    Upstate NY is so much prettier than Colorado , Utah.

    Went out to Las Vegas, Utah , Colorado using my Frontier Airlines $299 Go Wild All you can fly pass and that'll probably be the last time I go out there again. Upstate NY is lush green and heavily forested, Colorado and Utah look all dried out and ready to burn down. They have 2 kinds of trees...

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

    I was returning on Frontier Airlines from Dallas Fort Worth the other night and the Plane I was in flew right over the Freedom Tower and Manhattan . So creepy flying over that Freedom Tower thinking what happened almost 25 years ago. You'd think they'd ban flights over Manhattan ?? Crazy! It...

Guy said it was really good quality, just took a long time to ship it. Sure beats paying $4000. Made out of Aluminum. Very easy to install. The hard top Torneau...

    Stuck Lower Unit Drain plugs on Outboard Motors

    Had to remove lower unit drain plugs on 2 outboards and they wouldn't budge. Tried loosening those plugs with practically all my might and they wouldn't open. I bought a manual impact driver on Amazon and it worked like magic. Try using one of those drivers the next time you have trouble...

    Friday 5/8 trip

    Got the first break from the bad weather and went out Friday for Fluke and tried casting a surface plug for Bass hoping I'd get some bass in the back bays. Even with a forecast of 10-15 from the North it seemed way more breezy than that and I stayed as close to the mainland as possible and...

    Alternative to a Cross Sound Bridge

    I read it would cost $45 Billion to build a Cross Sound Bridge. Instead of building that, why don't they make the LIE and The Cross Bronx 2 level roads and build a New 8 lane George Washington Bridge and Throgs Neck Bridge with 2 levels ?? Would probably cost less than $45 Billion. The Mario...

    NY should build a Boat Ramp in Montauk

    Right next to Star Island Marine ( on the road leading to the US Coast Guard Station ) there's about 5 acres of land and it would be perfect for a new boat launching ramp there. Last time I was out there the property was for sale. Couldn't the state buy that land with fishing fund money and put...

    Actually there was a Company that sold one recently. Kingston Arms up in Liberty NY sold one a couple of years ago for about $600. It was a full sized gun and had a Ruger 10/22 magazine . Looked really cool and then the company went out of business ? Saw one on Gunbroker and the current bid is...
