We have a ramp in NYC and its about 18 miles to the statue of liberty and then theres a place to dock, eat, and have drinks in jersey city. I think with a trip like this I can charge a nice price for a group.

Much more direct! I'm not that familiar with NYC, so I went with some guys from the club out of State Island. It was a long trip but saw the statue which was fun and the back side of Ellis Island. You could definitely make a few trips and make some money.
 
Provisioning ahead of our trip past the Statue of Liberty and up the Hudson to Lake Champlain next week.

IL is beautiful this time of year. Sorry to hear about your mom. Let's break in your new AR-15 when you get home.
 
Feels like 105, I say thats about right.

Finally got around to working on my FILs utility trailer. The left turn signal has never worked and with my new truck it fast blinks when it's hooked up. I can't take that crap. After seeing the years of spliced and rats nest of wires I see why it wouldn't work. Was cheaper and easier just to rip it all out and go with new. The trailer light check feature on my truck is pretty sweet! Also put in some bearing buddies as one side was missing the cover anyways.

Tree hit our cabin so hard it popped a full 12 x 4 sheet of sheet rock out of our ceiling ☹B3FD3B0D-BB74-4511-8FC6-977A76935707.jpegF89CA9E3-33BC-460C-81CF-9D58C107047F.jpeg
 
I see I have a new pond lizard. This one got a bird on the bank and carried it up into the backyard until it could eat it.

@Coult45 I captured this migrating bird while it was landing at a nest. Do you know what species it is?

nice pic...they're deceptively fast for a bird that size. It's called The Moose due to one of the strange sounds they make. If you see one getting ready to join the seagulls on your canopy, wave it off. They make a worse mess than the gulls.
 
Hmmm...so that is a moose? Does anyone else have a suggestion? I am concerned @Coult45 has spent a bit too much time focused on eagles.

He's gone walkabout, still trying to figure out the whole thing about Wynona's big brown beaver.
