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 …

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 .

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 .

Chemung County Fairgrounds - Is There A Better Way To Utilize Them?
Hal replied to Chris's topic in Local News
Perhaps if the cost of using the grounds for other activities weren’t so prohibitive that would become a possibility once again . -
US Airman Dies After Setting Himself On Fire In Protest
Hal replied to TTL News 's topic in National News
This is reminiscent of the Buddhist Monk setting himself afire in a protest in Viet Nam all those years ago . -
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 !

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 .

And with holes strategically placed in the bottoms of the two top rows of buckets this could be self watering !

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 .

"The Life, Death, And Resurrection Of Eldridge Park"
Hal replied to TTL News 's topic in Life In The Twin Tiers
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 … -
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 .

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 .

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.

As I understand it the ruling reads “ in some cases “ . Kind of leaves it up in air doesn’t it ?

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 .

It's So Cold, Teslas Are Struggling To Charge In Chicago
Hal replied to TTL News 's topic in Conversational Potpourri
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 “ .
