  1. I don’t give a rats ass who they boo ( as much as that person deserves it ) but the fact that the Officials stated they would “Hunt down “ the hecklers … that chaps my ass Big Time ! Can’t stand the heat you have created with a vendetta using your Office / title ? Maybe you should stay out of the kitchen!

    So this “ CCCRA “ is basically a hedge Corporation for the CCIDA ?! Or would that be a Shill Corporation …
  3. I get it . Just that for myself there’s something more satisfying in starting my own plants . Hell I just can’t waste three years of Horticulture and Landscaping school . Even if I didn’t follow through as a career I still enjoy some of what soaked in .
  4. Shallow box , potting soil , water cover with plastic wrap , start em inside , even in the cellar , transplant when you want or when about 3or 4 inchs high .
  5. Perhaps if the cost of using the grounds for other activities weren’t so prohibitive that would become a possibility once again .
  6. This is reminiscent of the Buddhist Monk setting himself afire in a protest in Viet Nam all those years ago .
  7. I know we have talked about this lately but i still can’t understand why they weren’t bought out . As many times as I have been there I have never not seen the parking lot full of cars trucks and buses … oops , sorry Karen , and motorcycles.Yeah I’ll bet it was a shocker to see it gone !
  8. The way things are not shaping up , my plans will be on hold . And haven’t had a chance to talk with the “tiller fella “ in some time so you may have to give him a call . We have a 1/4 acre spot that has been let go to field and last year was heavy with Chicory , Timothy and some Milkweed so that will suffice for this year .
  9. And with holes strategically placed in the bottoms of the two top rows of buckets this could be self watering !
  10. Funny but not too funny that if CHIPS goes away we will have a couple town representatives wandering ( more than usual ) blindly in circles looking to shake no one’s hand for no reason … think Biden shaking hands with ghosts !
  11. Yep , now he can disappear again ! Interestingly enough an inside joke has it that if someone mentions Chris Friend the response is … Who ?!
  12. Not unlike pruning apple trees . More harm is done by not pruning to maintain the shape of the tree , vase shape in apple and peaches , pyramid shaping in pears . Directional pruning is also important to balance the weight of the scaffold branches , this is just pruning above a bud thats on the side where you want the new growth to go . Enjoyable video to watch .
  13. What a song for Luke Combs to cover . I mean who doesn’t like this song , it gets in your ear and stays there till you get your music source to listen to it !
  14. A short life but fully lived ! ! RIP ….
  15. Man , so many memories ! As a country boy it was quite the deal to look forward to going to Eldridge Park on a warm Summer evening… if the work and chores were finished for the week . Flying scooters at night , roller coaster , ski-roll games and my personal favorite the Bumper cars , against the rules to “ bump “ … until the operator turned his attention LOL ! Good Times . Oh yeah , and a “hook-up “ was a ride through the haunted house with that cute girl that you shared your french fries with …
  16. It’s going to be Winter squash this year . Butternut , Acorn etc. . I seem to have lost taste for potatoes the last few years but can make a meal of squash 🤔🤷‍♂️. And go figure , the very thought of my eating tomatoes up till a few years ago would have been met with a huge NO ! But now … cherry type and a heritage type called Xanadu , green goddess ( yes ripe and excellent when green ) right off the vine .
  17. Aside from being “ oxygen sucks “ these turds need to be …🤔, gone ! After watching the vids of these cockroaches i had to tell the wife to change the channel or something was going to be flying at the TV . Break from the news media started that night !!
  18. I’m cutting way back on taters this year as we still have close to 50# left in the cellar. When i get to feeling better i have to prune the orchard and maybe catch some nice warm sunshine ( anyone remember sunshine) on my back .
  19. I’m not so sure it was a wise idea to have aired a tutorial on how this works or how to install one in a Glock . Then to demonstrate the firing power this brings to the handgun as the Glock will now become very desirable to the criminal element .
  20. At those prices they should have a really high germination rate ! I would suggest looking closer to home and maybe starting by cultivating the area then trying a small variety of seed to see which ones thrive best in your soil / location . The County Soil and Water sometimes has specialized seed they advertise.
  21. As I understand it the ruling reads “ in some cases “ . Kind of leaves it up in air doesn’t it ?
  22. And …. back to the same old pissing match they go ! While some Legislators are out doing the business of the People the others are busy fighting like children over who gets the bigger cookie .
  23. LOL , as one of those that drive a “ Plug in Hybrid “ to which the only drawback is the cost and the way the batteries are produced, I was feeling slightly bad for them as well . But its a lease and we are going back to being fossil fuel addicted , lower income , full blooded Neanderthals in two months . The plug in as you know generates its own juice but still as I said the cost of the battery alone with how the Lithium is mined and produced is more damaging to the Earth than the benefit of the fuel savings . Full disclosure. When our previous lease was due there was a shortage of gas powered Rav4s so they put us in this Hybrid at a good price . 2025 Rav4s will all be hybrid so we will be getting a gas powered one this time around . And yes I did get a laugh out of your post … honest ! Because you are spot on with the description of EVers …

    Yep , I am a “ Naysayer ! Also a “ Taxpayer “ in my own mind at least , so I have skin in the game with this First boondoggle Arena that we the County taxpayers got Stuck With many years ago ! WTH … “ its not any taxpayer money”? Ultimately just where does Any IDA Monies come from ? Federal , State, County , pick one , It’s All “ taxpayer money! Cabin Fever Carnival … dollars to donuts that will be a Free event ! Look, some great events have taken place at the Arena … In the past ! But that idea mine has played out over the years ! Combined with lack of safe , clean and secure parking , other than the decaying structure of a parking garage where the Cities homeless “ park “ their butts … and shopping carts , the Arenas time to shine has come and gone ! So many locals have fronted some great ideas utilizing the Fairgrounds, why are we not being listened to? Because we are only of no use ( except in election cycles) to most of the Movers and Shakers of the area who seem , over the years, to have had a firm grip on their Positions in politics and the committees that make decisions for us “ Naysayers “ .
