Seeing lots of Lake photos with Mexico point in the background - nice fish too Kings and browns.

Kinda think that - even though NY is  State restricting folks from many states from coming in W/O self quarantine, that many will just show up anyhow.
Folks in their 20s, 30s and even 40s believe- with some reliability- that they wont catch it and even if they do its not a big deal for them.
The big issue will be indoor dining  and bars being open and weather or not the rooms will be available to the public for people who are not family when cohabitating in those rooms.
Around here ya cant even get a golf cart with a second person who you don't live with and indoor dining is just opening up with a small percentage allowed inside compared to the past.
Guess it will all come down to the States rules at the time and how well local business follows those rules.
Being in my mid 70s with issues this will likely keep me away this time around.
That and not knowing who had the room before me and not relying on some hotel keeper to have COMPLETLY disinfected between customers.
 
You could be very correct in your thoughts on the Govs actions and frankly he may be right. A photo or two of the Needle or town pool festivities could end the season real fast.

I heard there was a national coin shortage so I figured I'd start giving some back.
We bought a small cheap coin sorter machine. It's working but I've spent about 2 hrs so far and rolled up $697.00 worth. Haven't even scratched the surface or touched the 4 full water cooler jugs.
Gotta be a better way but I'm not giving any % to a coin machine in stores and my bank will only take them rolled.

Happy birthday TB !!

A few years ago I wanted to roll up a lot of pennies to take to the bank. They would only give me so many empty rolls, because they said they were only just going to open them, and run them through a counter, and then re-roll them.
 
It was a Citibank branch, and the way they do it now is, they give you plastic pouches to place the uncounted coins in, then they count them, and deposit that amount in one of your bank accounts.
 
There's a bit of trust involved, but you could do a small test batch of a know amount to see if it come out accurate.
 
 

We always said the winds from the western industrial states such as, have caused acid rain in the Adirondack mountains.
Hopefully there's no acid in that graduation balloon. Could have been however on Jerry Garcia birthday. , 😉

So I'm going to get a little sappy but in a fun way of what once seemed a simpler way.
These are pictures of my father's high school sweater and his ball glove as a pitcher. He was an academic scholar. Football, baseball, basketball and track. His local school still has a hall of fame wall.
He excelled in all kinds of things including farming. Had scholarships to many universities but chose a path of simple life
In marriage to a local girl with a great parenting of hunting and survival skills. While my dad wore academic wool sweaters,
my mother wore woolrich wool hunting sweaters. Match made in heaven.
I've learned so much from my parents and theirs. I've learned the very hard lessons of how precious life is.
In my times, I've wandered and passed lots of strangers just to shake their hand but it's never swayed from what real people are and mean.

First Salmon caught in DSR
Highway clogged already on 81 to Pulaski

Sometimes I feel like I've been here before. Dejav' . Master bedroom and bath will be ready for paint tomorrow. My goal is to have everything in there completely done by next weekend and livingroom very close.
This will be the neverending renovation on house #3 on our homestead. The projects never end but winter is coming so things need to button up.
The real fun stuff begins for us tomorrow at deer camp. Yes relaxing in the woods for 3 days. Much needed.
I know what will happen though be so long away from afeild, I won't want to leave.

Garden is over for us except herbs. Still lots tomatoes on the vine but birds can have them until it pull the stalks.
Enjoy your labor day and we've all earned something for our hard work.
Peace and tuna

Tons of deer on the only 2 cameras we set out memorial weekend.
Put a new tree stand up and just relaxing plinking so 22's
Yup, fun stuff

With over 2,000 pictures. Some nice ones are showing up

I'm back safe and sound from a great stress free weekend. We cut wood, moved tree stands and rode atvs. The woods are loaded with a very good deer population of all age classes .
All in all , my family had a fun time.

My other son who regularly hunts with us was not there as work prevails.
He is a police officer of over 10 years.
Apparently, he made national news.
This happened 2 weeks ago and here is the story.
A ups ( brown truck) was called into the police for driving erratic. My son was on bike patrol and spotted the truck hitting 2 parked cars then coming to a stop. He ran up to the truck and jumped in with the driver passed out , truck running and in gear. He moved the driver over and put truck in park then shut the truck off.
There was hypodermic parafanalia within sight and the driver was obvious to him overdosed. He administered 1 shot of narcan. The driver was still unresponsive and he gave another dose. The driver was literally brought back to life and taken to the hospital where he recovered.

All I can say is I'm very proud of my son.
Also very grateful he wasn't harmed. In today's crazy world, being an officer of the peace is a difficult job without the respect due.

Great Job- ya never know whats next---

Congrats and praise to your son for a job well done.

I used to hunt and fish with quite a few state troopers, mist retired now, and to a person, they would not take or do the job in this climate. I don’t blame them.

May your son stay safe.

Rich,I'll be on the SR 9/20-10/3.any chance you being there ?

Jack, I'm doubtful. I'm supposed to fish trout in the adirondacks the weekend of 9/25 with my son. I know he wants nothing to do with the SR during salmon season. He is also very freaked out over covid and being amoungst crowds or staying in lodging.
If something changes on his plans then I might be up.

In other news ya can see Uranus without a telescope this week
