Can I have a giant LCD panel w/internet connection? Tommy down the street has one. HIS parents let him have everything!

Ah... Ok. Boat goes up, boat goes down, fish swims through collect check every two weeks. Don't try to goad me. I am a very complicated and convoluted man. Your tactics may actuall work. But, for now I am strong and simple.

Okay... It's bad. But yeah or nay, Cher? I really wanna know @Gugny 's reply and where his hormone levels are... LoL...

#1: Lock boat, get check every other Thursday. Done.

We are running the lock on demand. At old Panamax length and width dimensions, a 1,000 foot long x 110 foot wide chamber will divert about 750,000 gallons of water per foot (head) the vessel is going down or up. We have 5-7 feet of difference/head now. Even with all that water, it's still considered "discretionary water." I mentioned in other thread. All the water Chicgao diverts (from drinking water to navigation) per day is just below what goes of The Falls daily. Ontario, Canada puts in 25% MORE from the Arctic to Lake Superior. That's for hyrdro production. Those (x2) diversions INTO ALL of the Lakes (Superior feeds the rest of the Lakes) were built during the war years. That's a lot of water, but if you check the graph I just posted, diversions are a drop in bucket to what's being lost. Evap is the silent variable here because much of it will fall, be released outside the basin. Cooler winters, less pollution turns the turns the years of low water levels around. Yet, it's very much cyclical. What would interesting to see is if they could mesh numbers with the solar cycle. Has that been done? I am still left, I am not denying Climate Change, but I believe there are other silent factors in place. I am not going to just blame it on humans causing all the changes.

Lots of ice. Cooler temps. Cooler temps caused by more ice = less evaporation during prime evaporation months. Same with less evaporation during hard freeze. Yeah. Then there is the rain. Contrary to what then idiot @Foxx said above, diversions are a non-factor.

Corrected... Missing the key variable. It was no doubt a floating torso... They were jusy too lazy to show up prompt. If the cops didn't care, why should people be held up... Just flush that ***** -er away. It was the shrewd work of the LockOp to give those Chicago Donut eaters an out on their report. Takes one featherbedder to straighten the situation out.

Popularity... Things that seem to have predicted events bring scorn, contempt. People hate being proved wrong.

Whaaaaat's the "L?" I have a hunch... LoL... Anyway. Here, this place, 99.99% the last 5 years, use private phone. I am home till next Thursday.

Lot Nazi! ^^^^ Signs signs signs... Imagine that! "...Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign? And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house "Hey! What gives you the right?" "To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in" "If God was here he'd tell you to your face, man, you're some kinda sinner"...

#1. Find your place.

Side note: Video shouldn't have been censored. Only drawback.

I wonder what he would be saying about the world today if he lived longer: I like his ideas about the balance between cooperation & competition.

There was an Chinese Foreign Exchange cheating ring @ our children's high school a bunch of years back when my son was in high school. LoL... With the iPads the school was mandating... And in Chinese (would that be Mandarin?) From what half information I was told. Not sure what the exact mechanics of it was... Or how it played out. They kept on pressuing my daughter to upgrade her hand me down iPad that my son used. Something with outside networks? Who knows... /smh

Yo, Speed Racer... It's in: Myanmar. Big difference from the real world. I don't think we have to worry. ??

I got a story about a torso one of the boaters saw in the lock one busy autumn weekend a bunch of years ago. They were calling on the Marine Band radio... The USCG/Chicago Police thought they were saying "tortoise." /smh... Anyway we continued to lock and kept dumping water... By the time the cops showed up a few hours later... No sight of aforementioned "torso." A co-worker, operator mentioned: "Who knows, could have been a halloween prop, you know display." The cops said: "What was that? Say that again." ..."Yeah, that's what it was, a halloween prop, we're outta here." Yikes! Anyway... If it was a real torso, you think the thing would have popped up somewhere down river. Never was seen again. Quite the mystery and story of what was really seen that Fall day!

Ut oh!

Whatever gets you through the day in order to sleep like a baby! ??

Gee thanks for the bode of confidence when it comes to the integrity of lawyers. "International buisness lawyer in NYC" has a soothing ring to it. Yeah, maybe they aren't suing anybody or trying to find ways around international child labor for big business... Maybe they are really doing good for the world and the environment. The image still won't escape many that that the legal profession has people over a barrel. What's the next thing you'll tell me? Some cops aren't over-officious trigger happy type-A jerks. @Gugny doesn't fire single, pregnant mothers on Fridays.@BringBackFergydoesn't have two beer and burrito power lunches off the Jersey Shore.@Cripple Creek is a nasty man who teams up w/other nasty men like @CountryCletus AND most importantly, dammed up rivers don't serve a legit economical, environmental, & public health mission for the betterment and service of this great nation? I am NOT buying it. This ain't my first rodeo and I didn't just fall off the pumpkin truck. "International biz lawyer" in NYC sure sounds honorable! /smh

@BringBackFergy w/his goombahs in a meeting with the "Big Guy" from the Jersey Shore office. Take note fellas and wannabees, the name of the boat Mr.Ferguson transits & plies the water with: "Big Nutz Required II." "HEY! Who brought the giant football size burrito and Heddy Topper as tribute!" BringBackFergy's Power Lunch in New Jersey

Thanx... I didn't think the outfall was that far down river. What does the whirlpool look like at high water... Is it better, same or any less cool looking?
