Good evening, other then the wind a nice sunny day here enjoying it while it lasts. On the local news front Indian Point nuclear plant back in the newspaper Holtec the company handling the shutdown and clean of the now out of service plant has filed a lawsuit to get the right to release radioactive contaminated water into the Hudson river. Last year the NY. governor or state legislature passed a ban on such releases.
In more pleasant news the falcon family currently using the nest box on Mario Cuomo bridge (Tappan Zee) had the first of this years eggs hatch.

Ice wanderer may things go well for your Son #3 at least he can hopefully return to bridge work if this business venture does not prove successful. Good idea from son #2's in-laws on you being a consultant and the hourly fee. May things workout and your son not have a large monetary loss with this venture.
Hunts2long thank you for the information on Great Sacandaga Lake. You are a better person then most to read through such a lengthy owners manual. Once again best wished to the two of you with the new CRV . growing up with computers and now having a job where she frequently uses them and other High-Tec equipment does make things easier for Lindsay.
Wallyworld thank you for the photo of baby birds may the last egg hatch and all of the birds survive. Good comparison with the eyeglasses and cell phone. may the weather forecast be correct and you get out in your boat latter this week.
IFF may you have completed all of today's errands. Safe travel wished for your daughter. May you get a chance to fish during her visit. I also hope you received an up date on your brother.

Have a good night. Best to all fishing this week.

Good morning ER’s. Looks like it’s snowing out, blossoms on the dogwood trees out front are falling off , need to make a dump run, then a trip to court house to pay the property taxes when it opens at 10:00, and then grocery shopping.  Oldest daughter will be going to SC for a granddaughters b-day celebration the 28th, then here for a week or so, hope weather is suitable to get in a couple days fishing during her visit.

No word as yet on oldest brothers condition at the hospice, thanks on the well wishes for him.

Take care and enjoy you day

Morning all,

IW.....best of luck to #3 on his new adventure, sometimes you just have to take that leap of faith  :thumbsup:

H2L....an engineering degree might help when it comes to figuring out all the "bells & whistles"  :whistle:  my condolences to MrsH2 and the family  :'(

MrC.....kind of like looking for your glasses when they're on top of your head  ;D

FH4.....hope you had some luck whichever lake you picked  ;)

Weatherman is calling for 10-15 mph NW wind, makes it a bit lumpy fishing the SE shore so no boat today  ::)  the end of the week looks good tho  @)

Cooper was one happy dog when his "pack" showed up  :thumbsup:

Saw a few flakes in the air yesterday, it's getting just a little ridiculous  :%$#!:

Have a good day. Stay safe, stay healthy.

33* and clear.

IW, as of this morning the level of the lake is 770.20 feet so it shouldn't be going over the spillway. Spillway level is 771'. Been seeing a lot of "junk" in the lake.

Mr. C, we still have to figure all that out, we were shown how to use the cell phone for GPS by the tech, but doing it ourselves is another thing. Lindsay was here over the weekend and I asked her a few questions about the new CRV and it didn't take long to find out that she hadn't read the manual. All those "new" things just come natural to the "younger" generation. I have read all 600+ pages twice and I won't know it until I "do" it a few times.

F/H, I bet the weather plays a big role with those "expos", sort of like fishing, sometimes they are biting, sometimes not so much.

WW, looks pretty nice out here this morning, clear, sunny, no wind and 33*!!!

The wife said "Thanks" for the condolences for her Uncle Al.

Have a good day and be well....h2l

                 Good morning ER's,
                            It's 31* and clear here on my hill. ::)
                            H2l.............Is the lake still going over the spillway? ??? Over here the Schroon River is going over the the top of the dam. :whistle:
                            Fish ...........I'm glad your wife did well at the expo. :thumbsup: It's hard to second guess yourself where to go fishing, it seems no matter
                 where you choose it's the wrong place. :roflmao:
                           Steve..........Thank you for explaining what the governor said, but there has to be a catch somewhere. :blink: It's no use trying to talk my
                 son out taking the job. I found out yesterday from my second son that #3 gave his two week notice at the bridge company to pursue his new business.
                 I went to my second son's in-laws for dinner and they suggested that I should start a consulting business and charge $100 an hour for my services. :whistle:
                           Eddie...........Maybe you can get out to a stream and see if the trout are hungry. :unsure:
                           Wally...........It's a little cool but today might be a good day to get out. :unsure:
                           I have a therapy appointment this morning, then after that I need to gather some summer wood.
                           I hope everyone has a Good Monday either at work or out. Stay Safe and Healthy.

                 IW

 Good evening ,may everyone's Sunday have been a nice one. Cool here today with a high around fifty. Good to see a few dry days hopefully the temperatures rise some as we head toward the month of May.
Hunts2long, I'll share a funny story about using the High-Tec cell phones as a GPS. This past August when leaving the 50TH anniversary party for my cousin and her husband we were using my sister's phone to help us navigate through Kingston to get to route 9W and take that way home instead of use the NYS Thruway. MY sister asks me to look through her purse for her phone I tell her phone is not in purse we look for a place to turn around and head back to party Then the collective light bulb went off in our heads using phone for GPS of course it is not in the purse.
Ice Wanderer our governor released a statement after the legislature passed the budget thanking them she stated there would be no raise in income taxes. So expect to see increases in other state taxes to help raise money to support the budget.  may you be able to convince your son that placing the bid is not in his best interest and that you are not interested in being a major part of his new business venture.
Fish/hunt4ever good to read that your wife did well with sales at this expo. Wherever you fished today may the fish have been active and all of you caught a few to bring home.

 May everyone have a good start to the week. I believe tomorrow is Earth Day. keep safe do your best to stay healthy .
     Steve
