Good evening, 54 currently high today was in the upper sixties . Wednesday's Cornwall boy's varsity lacrosse victory over Middletown did not give them a spark for today's game. I expected a tougher contest as their opponent Minisink Valley has a better won-loss record and their starting goaltender is one of the better players at that position in Section Nine. Minisink won easily by a score of 17 goals to one for Cornwall. Cornwall's next game is Wednesday May 8TH against Kingston who is also playing well this season.

Thursday night over 100 people were arrested at the Suny New Paltz protest. the college had given the protesters until 9 PM to remove their tents this request with met by the protestors. Around 10 Pm there was still a large crowd of people in the area of protest some of the protestors were seated on the ground arms locked and chanting "Free Palestine" law enforcement offices moved in and started making arrests people standing outside of area blocked off by law enforcement started chanting "Protect our Campus and Shame on SUNY"  I will leave a link below to my local newspapers website so those interested can view and read the news story.

IFF may the weather allow you and your daughter to fish at a less crowded nearby body of water before she leaves for her home.
Ice Wanderer glad your Summer firewood supplier still had some stock left that will fit into your wood boiler. Sorry to hear this source of wood will no longer be available to you.
Hunts2long nice to read that Scout had a good "Spa day" at her groomers. I guess it depends on student's parents feeling about the protest if they would be upset seeing them getting arrested on television. To me is concern of possibly losing any aid money their child maybe receiving which helps lower cost of college. If a college can legally remove the students from receiving the aid money.
Wallyworld glad it was a better day for the two of you. I assume you are back home as depending on weather Lake Ontario will be crowded this weekend with it being first of the recently opened Walleye season.

Here is the newspaper link for those interested.   https://www.recordonline.com i tested link it is correct scroll down page to find news story.

Well done DR!

47* and a few clouds.

WW, sorry about the skunk, I have seen a few in my day. Talked to one person that had caught 2 walleyes and they were both about 15 inches. Seeing a lot of kayak fishermen and some have spent a lot of money on them. Saw one with 2 big fish finders, a trolling motor about 6 rods, they has to be a point when you buy a "boat". To top that he was taking it off a pontoon trailer.

OS, I stopped putting anything in a couple years ago. Good luck with the garden.

IW, I think many people had firewood left over as I am seeing more people selling it along the roads.

IFF, glad you were able to get out and find some fish. Our weather doesn't look that great the next 10 days, they have be wrong before.

Mr. C, you would be a "proud" parent to spent money to send a kid to school, then see them on the "news". There would be NO "loan" forgiveness then!

Eddie, I saw a stocking truck yesterday but don't know where they had been. I will have to go down to the launch because if it was there, the trout seem to hang around for a few days which is too bad as once the word gets out everybody and his brother show up.

Scout looks good after her "spa" day.

While I was out with Scout, my nephew came and trimmed some brush on the bank of the lake and took a couple limbs off some trees, still have to come back with the chipper.

Hope everyone has a good day and be well....h2l

 44,clear and calm

Well daughter and I took the boat out today , however the boat launch and overflow parking was over full but for one handicapped trailer parking spot which we were able to use.  Lost count at 225. Empty trailers.  Massive pro bass tournament in progress thru Sunday. For such a shallow/narrow creek from the launch to the main lake was a nightmare trying to main control and fish in that creek for crappie’s ended up with 7 small bluegills, 1 LMB, and one channel catfish.  Boat handled well with the additional person and had it running smooth at 35MPH.

Thought we might have another nice day again tomorrow, but checking 10 day forecast guessers have all 10 days of rain.

See you in the morning, take care all
