Please define "vast" powers that NY has, versus the powers other states have over non-profit organizations. Corruption is corruption. It only looks worse when it's a non-profit. The public's trust is lost when corruption is thrown out on the table.

IMO,, it's a civil argument at this point in time, subject to change in the not too distant future. Enjoy your conversation/discussion, etc. etc..

@Links2k 5 more posts after you stated you didn't feel like arguing today.

It seems a bit unusual to me to "dissolve" the NRA when there are allegations of corruption. The normal course is to prosecute/punish the people involved with/in the corruption first and then the organization is fined to some extent. Thinking of the Pilot Oil issue a few years back. Pilot Oil still exists, but some of those involved in the illegal acts are behind bars or trying to avoid jail sentences. Trying to dissolve the NRA is purely a political move IMO. Punish the one's who did wrong and bring in new leaders to correct this issues.

Our hummers seem to be on the skittish side as I smoke on the screened-in porch out back where the feeder is. Unless I move very slowly, they take off from the feeder, but return soon thereafter. I was standing out on the deck this morning and one landed on the feeder and drank some, but it kept one eye on me just to be sure. LOL

Those extra years sure calmed my nerves down. I can save the tranquilizers for when the wife gets on my nerves. LOL

To hear some news organizations on the boob tube, we may not make it out of 2020.

The barter system has been around for ages, some people like or prefer that, especially when they are low on cash. I doubt if private business, persons, or organizations stop accepting paper money or coins as payment for services, especially in cities and towns. The large box stores are NOT going to switch over to the barter system anytime soon.

I'm starting to believe the libs are following the "scorched earth" theory.

Actually, the bank has to pay the armored car service to deliver the coin in bulk (bags or rolled), so it actually reduces the CU's overall operating expenses by a small amount, which is returned to the CU's customers.

+2 on your efforts. Continue the battle to be successful.

I'm just hoping all those "smart" people up north don't move down here.

Might as well get over it and forget about it for a good 5 months minimum. Just put a reminder on your phone for Jan or Feb, and then extend that for another 2 months at that time.

Very nice work. Enjoy.

Better than the 150,000 it used to be.

Every doctor on the boob tube has an opinion about the virus, and they will gladly state their opinion to whoever will listen or broadcast it. The channel you're watching does have an effect on what is said as well and who is on that particular channel.

Always loved these cartoons. Glad to hear they are coming back.

Deadliest Catch and The Last Frontier are both still on. The "catch" is currently on Discovery (new shows) with re-runs on animal planet IIRC. Last Frontier has re-runs on Animal Planet as well, with new stuff on Discovery. I used to watch the last frontier, but grew tired of it. .. I like Life Below Zero, Forged in Fire, Swamp People, Deadliest Catch, Mountain Men and a few others. The scenery in Life Below Zero is fantastic IMO, the characters are so so. I watch the shows for entertainment, as my definition of "reality" is different than the networks. The majority of the scenes are "staged", or greatly exaggerated, and I usually seen things in some scenes that tell me they are not as "in the bush" or "outback" as they want you to believe. LOL

I've caught a few when trolling for crappie on Tellico, most in the 12-18" range IIRC. Always hated to catch one or even see one when fishing as I didn't want to deal with 'em. They will really hit a crank bait, and those treble hooks don't come out easy, and those teeth will really mess up a crank bait as well. I've seen some characters on "Swamp People", those twin brothers, specifically go fish for gar using jugs baited with bream/bluegills on decent sized hooks with steel leaders. Even showed them cooking the fish up in one of their dishes.

I prefer the 2nd one. Both look very nice.

Now that took some thought and time to do that.

Yeah, I follow the market to some extent. I follow a more conservative buy and hold strategy, so yes it affects my portfolios just like everyone else, but the large swings from over-reacting to political or medical news (in these days) are un-warranted IMO. Day traders cause a lot of the large swings/over-reactions looking to make a quick profit or to protect their profits. JMO

Day trader by chance ??????

I run Lowrance HDS units (2 8" units at the console with Insight mapping) and have the down scan and side scan ducer mounted beside the 2d ducer. I can run map/down/side/2d on these units, and have a Hummingbird 8" with down/side/2d/maps on the other side where I sit while trolling for crappie. I don't like the HB maps as they come, the Lowrance HDS/insight maps are good for my purposes. Running the power supply to the back can be a major PITA. I ended up dis-assembling about half of the boat from the console back to the battery storage area but it's neat/hidden and never given me any issues. Take the time to do it right the first time and be done with it. If you're only going to run one FF on the front, consider putting a small lawn mower battery up front in a storage compartment and run your power wiring to it. A small lawn mower battery will run a decent sized FF for up to 8 hrs, if you run more than one (like me at 3, get a group 24 and install it where you want. I have a total of 4 batteries in my boat, 2 group 24's for cranking and FF's, and 2 group 27's up front for trolling motor.

The state has a "grace" period for renewing auto tags, but not sure about boat registrations. Our county clerk office was open earlier this month as I renewed the tags on wife's car, but did not receive the renewal form from the state thru the mail as usual. I just took the current registration receipt from the last renewal and paid my $$, new sticker in 5 minutes. Don't know if the clerks office is closed now due to the most recent spike in cases or not. Just keep a copy of the bill of sale and where you have attempted to register the boat in the and go fishing. I've heard that TWRA officers have been instructed to follow "social distancing" guidelines. I was loading up from a fishing trip back during the "lock down" period, a TWRA officer pulled up to chat, and asked to see my fishing license. I showed him my license from 6 feet away, he couldn't read any of the info, and asked what date I had renewed my license and I told him He said thanks and drove off.
