  1. Will do. There are people EVERY day out there protesting against that mosque being built. I am opposed to it also. I encourage all of you to frequent the Memorial website and check it out. There is also live construction cam link to view progress and details of what the site will become. http://www.national911memorial.org/site/PageServer?pagename=New_Home&cvridirect=true John(redkneck) or anyone for that matter... If your ever in the concrete jungle, better give me a shout. For even more and much better pics. Check out this site. http://www.joewoolhead.com/ I met this guy the other day taking pics on the job. This is what he does. Needless to say, incredible stuff.
  2. As some know...I am currently working at Ground Zero in NYC. I am working on the 9/11 Memorial. Very emotional place to work. There is not a day that goes by where I do not think about all of those that were lost on that fateful day. I view the whole site as a cemetery. I am very aware as to where I throw trash and spit. It is a Honor to work here and be part of the rebuilding and memorial process. This is the official website to check on the sites progress. http://www.national911memorial.org/site/PageServer?pagename=new_visit_earthcam Check this site often for progress of the job. There are 4 towers to be built, about 7 subway lines running underneath the site and the memorial. These are a few pics from the site. Myself and a few of the guys laying pipe before the concrete was poured. The Freedom Tower. This is the survivor staircase. This is the stairway that so many used to escape the terror that day. It will be preserved and part of the Memorial. This is one of the 2 memorial pools. The North pool. These pools will take up the old foot prints of the 2 old towers. Nothing will ever be built there again. The pools will be 30' waterfalls with the names of all who perished around the edges of both pools. One of the many pumps for the pools(water falls). This job is very slow moving and is somewhat depressing that after all these years the Freedom Tower is only up to the 9th floor. The other towers are waiting on commitments from companies that said they will lease space there. So all except tower 4 will only be built to stumps for buildings to be built when the commitments are made. Thought I'd share this info and pics.

    Happy Fathers Day!

    Thank you Will right back at ya pal . My wife and I were blessed with 3 sons. Joseph(18) ,Anthony 3rd(16) and Michael(14). This is me with my oldest and youngest. My 16 year old was in love during spring turkey season...so he missed out. Excuse me for the jacket I was wearing...I was cold.
  4. Congrats Diamond...you are in good company .
  5. Hmmm...Greg Ritz is now doing Crossbow commercials for Horton. But you know, he got over $103 million for his end of T/C when he sold to it S&W. I would take it easy also if I were him. Do some charity work in the outdoor field. Hmmm, maybe something for the Wounded Warriors. That would really bite if someone like Gregg Ritz was caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar by breaking laws regarding animal harvests.
  6. Thanks for the heads up Joe! NYS is forever looking for ways to raise money :hammer2:. I leave a Pintle/ball combo hitch ALWAYS in my receiver on my truck. I have to be sharp on the road.
  7. Congratulations to you and the Mrs. Scott! .
  8. Glad things are good with the results. Still in my prayers.
  9. Sweet Trophy Mike! Sounds like you had a heck of a time. Will you be mounting that bad boy?
  10. Have fun Frank! Looking forward to the pics.
  11. Great shootin! My kids cut their teeth with shootin a Gamo. Nifty pellet guns great for garden control .
  12. Is this one going next to the greeter bear at the front door Tink? Sweet bruin...Congrats!
  13. That does bites Jeff. Sorry to hear about that. I too, learned the hard way with these GFCI and their unique sensitivity. I lost game meat also one time...ONCE! Code usually requires any convenience receptacle 6' or less from a water source to be gfci protected. Basically for bathrooms, kitchens and washing machines. My freezers are on normal receptacles with pilot lights in case the power goes out on that line, it is easily noticeable. About wiring from the line side... I am pretty sure when the GFI trips you will not get power out of that device. Line or load side until you reset it. It would be of no use if it tripped and remained operational delivering power. Yes, the wires in the box will still be hot, but the slots for the device will be dead until the reset button is pushed. Just plug in the freezer to a normal device(non GFCI protected) and you should not have any issues in the future. You can use an extension cord, just make sure it is of the proper gauge wire. Don't use any flat, lamp cord type extensions.
  14. Happy Birthday William . May it be a great one.
  15. My wife made the decision to tie her tubes after our 3rd son, Michael was born back in 96. So that was easy for me. My good friend and his wife just had another baby at 45 years old:hammer1:. It was her 3rd, so her age was not an issue...it is being 60 when your kid is 15! Man your patience as a parent has to be REAL short when you are 60 with a teenager:D.
  16. My 14 year old needs some camo for November. Let me ask my wife what size he wears and I'll get back to ya.

  18. Happy B Day Cash. You sure are a cute little bugger ain't ya
  19. What a tragedy . I saw this in my local paper last week. So sad. Prayers on the way.
  20. I think you will enjoy Archery in its truest form, when you draw your bow in the presence of the animal . Whatever weapon you choose, just make sure you are proficient with it. You owe that to your quarry. Have fun above all.
  21. Very cool design...Looks like .44 special there. That bike might be a hard tail pan head. Hardtails will give you the cowboy walk real quick:D.

    MPG's

    I get about 35mpg hwy with my 06 Corolla which I take to the city everyday, running 89 octane. My 95 Silverado 305/5.0 with 180K on it, gives me about 10mpg hwy using 87octane. My wifes 07 TrailBlazer 4.3lt, gets about 25 on the hwy and 15 around town.
  23. Congrats to the both of you and may God bless Isabelle;)
  24. Every year...Only once a year though. We have a annual outing that some of our IBEW brothers come up from Weee see anna:D and bring 300lbs of crawfish to the outing. Cooked Cajun style. I think my lips are still burning from the twist, suck and eat rythhm.
