So it seems the weather has taken its toll on most campers here .
Tenters just decided not to come and those yuppie campers have started to pull the plug and head home. Funny seeing folks with gloves and ski masks walking around freezing.
We on the other hand are , have been here for the long haul.
The fire is burning ( good thing I stock hardwood ) and the beer is cold.
Rain, rain go away, 6 straight days is enough for anyone to play.
Off to some tourist trap sight seeing, lunch and back to the smokey fire

I took some pics but really only looked like fog but right now sitting in a pub overlooking mirror lake chugging uba ale and munching pizza. Snow has passed, for now, rain is back

Hey Rich,pack up and head for my place and enjoy the heat.....59 and partly cloudy with a breeze,but they are forecasting 90 in the seven day for here!

Thanks Jack but I think we may head out later for some smokin hot blues in LP

Friggen wind is just as bad today as the weekend.   Whitecaps......

You aint kidding tuna... about 10 minutes of heavy storm came through downtown syracuse. An area construction job had guys on a roof in which they got up by a scissor lift... wind blew it right over luckily while no one was on it. Emergency broadcast was blaring tornado warnings with specific instructions on how to seek shelter

Jack , we had severe t-storms move through around 6 pm last night. As Andy said , tornado warnings as well. It looked a scene outta wizard of oz
Things seem to be shaping up for another round tonight

Yup, shewed two large deer flies off of me today... nasty nasty brutal sun!!!

Yep, hotter than a cobb today, but cooled off pretty good after 6:30.   Got the lawn mowed.   RJ your luck the deer flies  are not out bad yet

Got up top SR Country yesterday ( thurs) bout 2- Grass was HIGH after bout a month away. Bout my longest nice weather separation yet.
  Mowed slow for 3 1/2 hours and just about done when BANG- Belt broke.
 Yknow how it is when ya cut too high grass- really needed a second cut today. DARN.
 OK- put on a new belt this morning - didnt look right from the get go- 40 yards later BANG again.
 OK, what to do ??- loaded up the truck bout noon and brought the whole rig back to CT. Will work on it here and have to get back up soon to finish.
 Didnt relish runnin all over where aint too familiar with the shops and such and dont likely have the necessary tools on hand for repairs.
 Mid 80s yesterday and mid 90s today.

one word "SUCKS" !!!!
only day off and I'm outside with my waders on trying to get the rest of my garden in order..
Will say though, last evenings pre-during the rain, the fishing was FANTASTIC.. A little local lake action put a bucket of GIANT gills, some Yellow Perch aboard and released a few smallies..
Sorry no pic's of this top secret location.. :)

2.39 inches in the 'cuse yesterday, probably about the same here.   River is still running high.  Hope they don't drain it too  much.

A month ago we needed rain badly.  As of today the reservoirs throughout the state are flush, many over their spillways.  Who knows what the dog days of July and August will bring?  I don't think the conditions will be as austere as last September but you never know.

Drew, I'm not complaining about the conditions of last fall because the fishing last September when we met was stupid.  It would be nice to have a "normal" run this Fall with the CFS in or around 500.  As the song says, "you can't always get what you want, but you'll find some times, you get what you need."
