He goes through the Fed Lock in Troy, they will give him top priority! 😆🤣

Yeah that's a good thing. NIMBY, better to die in IYBY. 😆 😉😜😘

Over-reaching tree hugger logic... I am pretty sure the DECON embalms them, dries them out.. Pick your poison. One of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse: Pestilence or some overreacting theory about dead mice polluting our rambunctious garden. Keep the enviro hysterics alive! 😏

Sorry to hear! Put some DECON under the hood. If a mouse touches your wiring over those "mice Snickers bars" they are insane in the membrane. Just remember they're there so they don't go flying around in the fan! 🤣🤣 House wiring can get nasty too. Code here has to have wiring in conduit/EMT... No Romex... Why there are strict codes in populated areas. Insurance companies want to COLLECT your premium money, NOT pay claims. Then there's Texas and the "cheap" South. They don't build anything to last down there. 🤨🙃😉 ^^^Thank you! That was my NOT so veiled social commentary against the Dirty South and Insurance companies. 😆 Wouldn't your Auto Insurance or homeowner's cover it? You want your car smell like ammonia? Or... A return trip back from the Mother Inlaw's house... 😆

Try to run the vehicle every day or other day. That will keep them on their toes!

I was 30 in 1999 when we lost our mother when she was 58. It never gets easier. It's been just over exactly 2 years since losing our father in 2019. We just lost my brother in December.

Sorry Mike! YOU'RE in for it. You know I can't help it! 😁 I trust @Beerball to rise above the fray! Border collies are sure cute! I can't say as much for their co-workers!

I say go for it @Mike in Horseheads! Who knows... You may finally have a lock & dam operator in the family! 😆🤣 Need a little extra family income? https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/dog-hired-to-keep-chicago-harbor-clean Special ShoutOut to: @Beerball @BringBackFergy @Gugny @Seasons1992 Suck it fellas... Some of the greatest lock ops on earth are border collies! That's ALL I got! 😆🤣😂 AND She's SEASONAL. She'd be back in HHDS for the winter with all that dough! Think of the earning potential Mike!!! 😉...

My father... 40 years ago. 😆 Really. My brother was selling them and like good parents, they "bought in." 🤣... 5 bucks more if you wanna ask how good they really worked in 1984. They are still on the house and it turns a fan/blower. 😆

No. Great music is always being made. You didn't say Nickleback. Does Beato do any Nickleback? 😆

#3. "Kid Charlemagne" is great. "20 years ahead of it's time":

Nailed it! It's all a shell game. Good question...

Here the eagles are probably catching Asian carp on one side and flying with them to the Lake side and dropping them there! 😆🤣 I think the anti-industry crowd enviros need to shut those mofos down! 😉

Bald eagles have been off the endangered list since late 1990s. Off the threatened list for about 15 years. They are like rats in the sky now. 😆 Okay, not really... But everywhere...

Look how close she let me get to her. At work a few days ago, only had my puny cellphone... Highly compressed: ESSAYONS!

At work... We had a radio system... Repeaters, etc... All tore out. You're right. There needs to be redundancy. In a national emergency, we are pretty much screwed with cell service.

Yes. In a power failure, landlines don't usually go out AND emergency, all cells will be jammed since most use that now. It's a good safety feature... Preparedness. You can always hack it to charge stuff: Yeah. But call one state over and it's through roof the toll charges on lamdline! I am under 10 miles from Indiana border... Don't dare call a 1(219) area code from my landline! 😉😉

@BeerballProbably remembers taking the excursion boat across The Lake! 😆

I am calling BS! The Boy Scouts ad depart would NEVER authorize an ad like to be placed, no matter how much they were offered! 😉

Child! "In fact, under one testing scenario, a leather helmet provided a lower level of DAI risk than any of the modern helmets. ... While these helmets are effective shields against catastrophic skull fractures, they don't do as good a job absorbing energy from a lower impact hit." https://healthland.time.com/2011/11/07/in-football-leather-helmets-could-provide-a-better-defense-against-concussion/#:~:text=In fact%2C under one testing,any of the modern helmets.&text=While these helmets are effective,from a lower impact hit.

We used to collect the Dairylea milk cartons and redeem the free Braves tickets. Sit in the Oranges... Where my lifelong vertigo started! 😆 Semi-vertigo. 😆... I am totally afraid of heights, just unprotected falling up steep steps! 😉

Yup! Before the Erie Basin Marina... It was a rail yard. Coal/ore unloading. My father worked on Delaware-Lackawanna & later Erie-Lack... Loading, he said there was a big ramp, gravity driven I believe... If you missed your spot, one would have to ditch/jump in to the water...

Then... There wasn't even picture ID.

Late 80s, Early 1990s...

Can we merge this Crystal Beach... We snuck in after it closed. I got a "souvenir" from the "Laff in the Dark" ride... 😆... Blush... One of our finest moment as a drunk 19 year old in Ontario... 😉
