when it starts raining hard and you can't do anything outside, this video
taken last night will eat up a half hour for you, and it's really well done. great pics of VTOL Ospreys, all of NYPD's
boats in action, and two of everything, including The Beast.
One part of me wonders at the incredible cost of this and another part just goes wow at the advanced capabilities.
considering what has fallen in the Hudson River, that area seems well protected.
the NYPD and CG boats were very cool
sure need to wear eye protection near those Ospreys, they blow stuff everywhere
good thing those Suburbans were made to last, overbuilt at armor company, they are a full gen back.
Might not get that much mileage put on them and am sure they are very well maintained.

Good morning, the low is 59 and going to 70°F. Wind ESE 9 mph. 70% chance of rain and it is raining now.
My neighbour wants me to lay down about 15 tons of pit run gravel for her sometime this week. That will give me some 'seat time'.
Nothing else is going to get done today...Raining.
Drew, that is my philosophy as well. Just live and let live.
I don't care what political party you are affiliated with nor who you vote for because it is NONE of my business.
Have a safe day all

Good morning TBN!!
61 and warming. No rain again. Should be mid to upper 80s today.
Varied day yesterday. Worked on my reorganization project.
Then FEMA contractors showed up to clean some of the river. They got about 1000 feet done upstream from my bridge. Looks good and cleaned out a bunch of the bridge busters out.
I got some seat time offering to get some of the debris out. Saved them a lot of hand work and they were quite appreciative. Hopefully they do the downstream side next. Kinda doubt it though. All the had was a few guys chainsaws and a 6 wheel side by side to haul out to their brush trailer. They left their equipment in the drive. They will return today to continue.
Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

I wonder if Boo's family knows they could be in next year's local contest
Fat Bear Week
Thomas wins First Prize for Fattest Bear
photography is great, but these are wild carnivores.
don't think you want to go pet the prize winner
I think moose and caribou would be cool to have around as long as you
could keep them off the roads. Friendly vegans.
of course if I look out my window and see a moose coming out of the woods,
not going to be petting that either.

Morning all, 60 to 84 and cloudy, rain possible later.
Did get some mowing in knowing that rain was on the way.
Have to be careful I don't shoot black walnuts and Hickory nuts at anything, they get in the grass and some are hard to see.
I worked downtown at almost the tip of Manhattan when I got my first job on wall street at Salomon Brothers. We overlooked the Heliport and I remember Clinton coming in one day. All the boats were out, snipers on buildings on both the NYC and Brooklyn side of the river.
That firehouse you see in Drews photo used to be really cool as it was from the 1800's , unfortunately it got impossible to repair and they replaced it with that grey building that looks like a block. It was fun working downtown, the Staten Island Ferry was right there and lots of history like Fraunces tavern and the old church sitting in between two high rise office buildings (Our Lady of the Rosary).
One time they were filming a movie near our building and built out a whole park with lights, benches etc.. After the movie was done we used to eat lunch there. One day we walked over, and it was back to being an empty lot, everything was removed overnight and I guess put back in Props.
I got to take my father up to the balcony over the old trading floor one day (I did a lot of work for the CFO so he got us up there). This was a massive 2 floor high trading floor with hundreds of traders.
When I got there most of the people in the book "Liars Poker"
Liar's Poker - Wikipedia
were on their way out and Buffet had placed his puppet Deryck Maughan as CEO. Since I worked with the CFO, I got to talk to Deryck a lot, he looked and acted like a CEO, but was more like a news reader and dumb as a rock.
We always joked he needed someone to tie his shoes for him.
He made $20 million for the few years he was there to liquidate the firm and sell it to Smith Barney, which when got absorbed by Travelers, which then got absorbed by Citigroup. Which then collapsed.
I was well out of there before all the consolidation and collapse happened.
Too bad I was in IT, because these guys made out big time $.
