  1. An apple in its mouth is always a hit at the party or next luau! πŸ˜‰ I wouldn't even know where to begin, driven in. I'd have to ask for advice! Wife would probably be in tears! πŸ˜†
  2. Not quite. They could isolate things. There's water tight hatches, doors through bulkhead compartments. Back in the early 1980s... We camped out on Little Rock for a weekend. We scoured every inch of The Sullivans, opened every hatch, door, went through every bulkhead...etc... Giant hide and seek game! Boy were our leaders and the Naval Park staff (did they even have staff back then) mad as hell... Boy did we get chewed out! I think we had a campout the following year and they began to rope areas off! πŸ˜† Besides Philmont 2 times, Algonquin/ADK park canoe trips every year... That Little Rock/Sullivans campout ranks up there! I am dating myself at 54 years old. This was the entertainment of the year on that Little Rock outing when the lights went out! Mine had the new pass feature! πŸ˜†
  3. Tack it onto the infrastructure bill! Make it a reef for fish. In the Corps we had a hopper dredge in Buffalo District... It was the "Markham"....It's now a reef, structure off of the North Carolina coast. https://www.dredgingtoday.com/2015/03/09/brief-history-of-tshd-markham/ PS: @BringBackFergy @Beerball @Mike in Horseheads @Gugny... Did you know there was a publication out there called: DredgingToday.com Man... They got everything! πŸ˜‰
  4. Yeah... I forget the Wordle word that was just used and said to wife: "That's a word!" πŸ˜†....I should have just threw it out there, not even knowing it! πŸ˜• Probably could of used dictionary. I forget the word, but it wasn't common! I cry foul on the snobby NYTimes!
  5. Wordle let's you throw in anything you want, kicks it back if not in word list. I don't need no stinking dictionary, it sticks it sticks! LoL... Actually they should penalize your sorry azz for this tactic! LoL... How are the Swedes getting a better average than the English speaking world! πŸ˜†
  6. Ie: "Normal people" would be offended by this dig... But I am not offended.😏
  7. https://www.pcgamer.com/the-new-york-times-has-put-the-kibosh-on-another-wordle-archive/ 😠😑😀😣😾🀬😠 πŸ˜†
  8. Yeah. Probably a lot closer than you think! Yeah From the heart of OP. Technically... I say TECHNICALLY... OP is like a very small distance border to border thru W.Seneca to S.Buffalo. Maybe a mile or two... πŸ˜‰πŸ˜œ That far NE corner is almost touching South BFLo... LoL... I knew people living "Orchard Park" going to W.Seneca/BFLo schools....
  9. Grosse Pointe Shores... Isn't that where Ralph was from? Okay... Technically NOT Detroit... πŸ˜‰
  10. Yeah. Zoned commercial. But, right next to it's residential. Probably better go all residential. The houses look kinda run down. Doesn't look viable for commercial. Who'd want to come down there to see a show. Looks sketchy. Then complaints of the neighbors, etc... Something has to give!
  11. If we dredged that channel deeper... It be in a deeper mess just be thankful BFLo Harbor isn't really a deep water port anymore! Like I noted above, project depth is only maintained to 18'... You'd really be cursing us if we maintained it deeper For now both boats are totally on bottom! That's a good thing, right?Except the muck that's probably pouring in! How can it sink if it's on bottom. Looks swamped to me! πŸ˜‰ 😜
  12. I think they purposely flooded it to help it???
  13. Asian carp on one side. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜œπŸ˜˜ Both ships have been in the mud, stuck for years. Project Depth has been reduced to 18' since they got there. They haven't dredged it deep like it was in the past. Little Rock is especially stuck in mud. Sullivans draft 17', Little Rock over 20' My first job with Corps was taking these soundings: https://www.lrb.usace.army.mil/Library/Maps-and-Charts/ Last soundings were 5/2021 according to these charts The red numbers are below project depth. They're both totally in muck. I guess it won't go totally under! Sorry for poor image, better ones at that link above, .pdf... Oh... Click on the "Buffalo River"... P1-5 to get those plates...
  14. I guess this could fit in "Peloton" thread...
  15. They needed daily butts in the seats back then. Not so much today! Maybe he felt he was laboring? It's like trying to take that last ski run of day, when you you're spent after a perfect day. Something go wrong... Pitching is one of the most harmful, unnatural things an athlete can do to their body.
  16. No teams on West Coast. I don't think transportation was a factor. With planes and West Coast, probably just as bad as long train ride... Which they probably had a sleeper...
  17. I can respect that! Gravy shamer: @Gugny Anyway...I think somehow ranch dressing has gotten more pretentious than blue cheese thanks to Buffalo wings!
  18. I knew it! Awesome πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘... Totally agree! @Stank_Nasty Show yourself! πŸ˜‰
  19. You'd think the City would just tear it down. Or who ever owns it, force them. Looks like a safety hazard. What else could really go there...Butts up against residential... Not gr8 residential to say the least... But looks like people are living there. Turning it into a vacant lot.
  20. The only member who gave you a positive review was: @Stank_Nasty...Coincidence! I like to think @BarleyNY who gave you an "Awesome" was being sarcastic! πŸ˜† It was still you that changed her! Well... I hope! I would reword this! πŸ˜† 🀣
  21. 18 hours ago this thread was created and it's now 6 pages. A good 10 hours were spent as sleeping hours... ...You know where our priorities are! 1st World problems while Russia is laying waste to the Ukraine! Oh... Ranch on any kinda wing is as evil as that guy in Moscow. Will never be acceptable! I just noticed that! πŸ˜† 🀣... Wow! Crazy!
