Great ad for locals, but us out of towners you are targeting here might get a little confused. I read Coney Island, OK, New York, then Ohio River, and if falls apart from there.. What town?

Thanks, Scotty- Hide quoted text - I have no freaking idea... possibly Cincinnati, Ohio, since it's mentioned several times in the message and many, many times at the cited website? http://www.ohioriverway.org/paddlefest/" p.s.

Most folks who come here only once a year to spam the group...... *oh bother...- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The way it's been raining here, I might be doing my own paddlefesting in my own backyard. Wife and I were planning a fun cruise on the Potomac. Yesterday the weather was predicted to be nice. Now it's raining, with thunderstorms predicted for the afternoon. Oh well, I guess I'll prune some bushes. Crap. -- John *H*- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Hell, my wife called me and said that she had went to the nursery and bought a "bush" to plant. Asked me to plant it when I got home from softball. I got home, and it was a freakin' Japanese Maple that was pretty much fully grown with a rootball the size of a small planet! Digging in the Atlanta area isn't exactly a joyful experience!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Oh gosh! Pour about *20 gal of water in the spot and let it soak for a few hrs, then it ought to make digging a lot easier. So far in the last 48 hrs we've gotten about 5' of rain. Some places locally have reported about 7. Plenty soggy around here!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It's a double edged sword! So much clay that you can't hardly stand up without slipping if you get it too wet. When I put my pool in, I rented a bobcat to dig the hole, about one hour after they delivered it, it started raining making the ground slicker than snot! Being rented, I couldn't stop, so I just slid around and made a hell of a mess, the guy that came to pick the bobcat up even remarked about the caked on mud! Yeah, but aren't Bobcats a kick-ass machine to play with! -- John *H*- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Oh, hell yeah!!! I also rented one of those small track backhoes. It was fun too, but not as much fun as that bobcat!! |
