  1. I just went & got 100 bucks worth of fishing gear for my wife......best trade I ever made. Congatulations Tom B. & wife of 32 years (LongLine)
  2. Matching those letters is freeking impossible. What's it say? Tom B. (LongLine)
  3. Turbine proponents often say windpower will lessen our dependence on Middle Eastern Oil. So here’s a quiz for you: (& it has nothing to do with a 5th grader) From what specific country do we get the most of our oil (crude & total petroleum products)? . . . . . . . . . . Ans: Canada Okay, try this one: From what specific country do we get the second largest amount of our oil stuff? . . . . . . . . Ans: Mexico Oh, oh…Try this one: From what specific country do we get the 3rd largest amount of our oil stuff? . . . . . . . . Ans: Venezuela Okay, Okay… Middle East (Saudi Arabia) is in 4th place for total petroleum products with 10.6%. http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petr ... mport.html Tom B. (LongLine)
  4. Welcome to the site. Next trip to NY, try Olcott. Tom B. (LongLine) Just busting on ya. Glad to have you aboard.
  5. AH HA…NYPA is reallocating power that they’ve been supplying to other states and going to put it into St Lawrence County. Oops…you say it’s the low cost Hydro-power???? http://northcountrynow.com/news/nypa-ap ... ent-010483 Nothing against St Lawrence but - Way to go Richie…you admit that you’ve been sending the low cost stuff to other states while you steadfastly push for the higher cost power from turbines here. Tom B. (LongLine) ps - NYPA hired AWS Truewind to do the offshore feasibility study. AWS recomended, in their study, ways to beat the Jones Act and use foreign ships.
  6. WTG! Did the 12# have an adipose fin? Tom B. (LongLine)
  7. As Ray implied...it's all downhill from here. (winter's coming-time to wax the skis) Happy Birthday Bill Tom B. (LongLine)
  8. Made in China...well there goes some more US jobs. It'll be interesting to see how developers try to skirt the Jones Act. i.e. construction ships in US waters must be US owned & registered. Tom B. (LongLine)
  9. ditto Glen. If it comes up, your definitely way going to fast. Tom B. (LongLine)
  10. 30 called & 14 show up??? The note I got once for jury duty said to show up or "have the sheriffs show up." Tom B. (LongLine)
  11. Welcome to the site slugs. Check out the reports section Tom B. (LongLine)
  12. Welcome to the site. Tell us how it's done "down-under"? Tom B. (LongLine)
  13. What's bigger a pound of lead or a pound of feathers? A gallon of this used to be the same size as a gallon of that. An amino molecule is larger than the NA, however the NA string can be larger. This of course goes by volume and not necessarily mass. (weight) I leave it up to the student to add up all the atomic weights to determine the exact mass to volume ratios.(assume earth's gravitational field) Tom B. (LongLine) p.s. hint: 14
  14. Rule #1: "Firearms & Thunder-Butts not allowed." Tom B. (LongLine) sorry, couldn't resist...
  15. Hey Musky - you know how I meant it. I'd like to know if he reads it the same way I do. The stocking program is indeed very viable and has a tremendous payback to the local economies. It's been great for fishermen too! Hey 2thdoc - Tell "bro" to google the US General Accounting Office (GAO) & Great Lakes fish/restoration expenditures. They also have done in-depth studies that show tremendous paypack. Like from 93-03 states & Feds spent close to $300M (fish, staff, hatcheries, ships) and got a return well over $1B. Tom B. (LongLine)
  16. New licenses needed after 30 Sept. Hooks on lures must be free swinging. Laker season closed Oct, Nov & Dec. Special trib regulations in effect. Tom B. (LongLine)
  17. And the answer is: GOOGLE Search "Lake Ontario annual report" on the DEC website. Look at section 1 of the 2009 report. Search: "Lake Ontario fishing expenditure". Seagrant does a report every couple of years. In 2007, Lake Ontario T&S fishing brought in over $100 Million. You can also correlate fishing license sales to stocking. Send me a copy of his findings, okay? Tom B. (LongLine)
  18. WTG Tom B. (LongLine)
  19. Get well soon Elliot. Tom B. (LongLine)
  20. This one is scary. Only 100 offshore turbines and they're a little smaller than NYPA wants. 4,000 football fields, $3.1 billion dollars (with a b) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100923/ap_ ... ind_farm_1 Click on one of the pictures to see more photos of what a real offshore farm looks like. No wonder the Brits needed massive help in World War II. Tom B. (LongLine)
  21. Here's from the morning D&C. Irondequoit tables motion of opposition for more info. http://www.democratandchronicle.com/art ... 20341/1003 Time for more guys to get the keyboards clicking again. Tom B. (LongLine)
  22. That's the way to do it. You've got me stumped. What kind of line are you using? Is it really stiff? Iused to use Maxima before they stopped carrying bulk spools around here & have switched to P-Line with good sucess. Tom B. (LongLine)
  23. Happy B'day Mark. Tom B. (LongLine)
